brendandwe're doing preseed installs and we have a situation where a system may or may not have a usb stick inserted on boot. either way we don't want to install on the usb stick11:11
brendandproblem is that it comes up as sda11:12
brendandhow can we make the preseed use some common sense?11:13

ubot2`Launchpad bug 939278 in debian-installer "GTK mini-iso can't start X" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93927811:20
ogra_i wasnt aware we actually started building gtkfb images ... is that on purpose ?11:21
Armandeghey, anyone here?13:49
ArmandegHey, there were some of you who wanted info on USB network install and stuff... Please go check out armandeg.blogspot.com I make a few posts, please comment if you want any answers....13:50
Armandegjust good for later/background knowledge13:51
stgraberogra_: AFAIK we do it because d-i does it by default, I don't think anyone actually tests them though ;)14:24
stgraberjibel: I'm working on installer bugs now, so if you see anything critical, let me know14:24
stgraberjibel: I'll have a quick look at bug 936115 to confirm it's a duplicate of bug 939450, then work some more on bug 89827814:25
ubot2`Launchpad bug 936115 in ubiquity "ubiquity crashed with TypeError in partman_popup(): popup() takes exactly 7 arguments (6 given)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93611514:25

ubot2`Launchpad bug 898278 in ubiquity "Upgrade menu option should not appear for old releases" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/89827814:25
stgraberjibel: ok, it's not a duplicate ;) looking at what's wrong now14:43
stgraberjibel: this one seems like an easy fix though, apparently something changed in a recent gtk requiring an extra parameter14:52
ogra_stgraber, ah, makes sense14:54
stgraberjibel: right-click should just do nothing right?14:59
* stgraber should have an older version of Ubuntu running in anthoer VM to compare...14:59
stgraberhmm, the bug says I should get a contextual menu ... checking on 11.10 ...15:01
jibelstgraber, testing with oneiric15:02
stgraberjibel: just tested, 11.10 doesn't have a contextual menu15:02
stgraberso I guess my fix is right then15:02
jibeluseless feature just here to crash the installer, nice :)15:03
stgraberjibel: anything else that you see critical for beta1 so far? bug 898278 is milestoned for b1 so I'll have a look at it next but it's not really omg-critical15:05

jibelstgraber, not on the installer side15:07
jibelstgraber, there is bug 94090815:07
ubot2`Launchpad bug 940908 in ubiquity "Cannot localize keyboard at startup in live session" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94090815:07
jibelbut I can't reproduce it15:07
jibelpitti tried too and it worked15:08
stgraberok, will poke at the upgrade bug then for now15:08
jibelI think it's due to persistence on usb15:09
jibelstgraber, I confirm bug 94090815:13
ubot2`Launchpad bug 940908 in ubiquity "Cannot localize keyboard at startup in live session" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94090815:13
jibelit only happens from usb on bare metal15:13
jibelin that case XKBLAYOUT is set to 'us15:14
jibel ' in /etc/default/keyboard15:14
jibeleven is the language is non-english15:14
jibeli'll update the bug report15:14
stgraberjibel: does it only happen when you allow for some persistent storage on USB or even without persistent storage?15:15
jibelstgraber, I created usb with persistence, but the bug occurs on 1rst boot15:15
jibelstgraber, I'll retry without15:16
stgraberjibel: thanks. My understanding of the USB key stuff is that unless you turn on persistence, it should be identical to a live image15:18
jibelstgraber, it only occurs with persistence enabled15:32
stgraberjibel: ok, can you pastebin the list of all files on the usb stick just after creating it with persistence enabled?15:33
stgraberjibel: I want to check if for some reason usb-creator is copying/creating some files15:33
jibelstgraber, http://paste.ubuntu.com/859367/16:11
CIA-32ubiquity: stgraber * r5218 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-partman.py): Add logic to detect a newer (or same version) target and only propose an 'upgrade' when the target is indeed older.16:15
stgraberbdmurray: ^ finally ;)16:15
bdmurraystgraber: great!16:17
stgraberbdmurray: I "think" it should be fine in most cases, it might be a bit confused when the target is an alpha and uses a codename instead of version. In such case it won't allow to upgrade which I think is fine.16:18
stgraberjibel: what's casper-rw? is that a partition? if so, can you mount it and list its content too?16:20
jibelstgraber, I guess it is the permanent storage. It's an empty ext3 filesystem16:35
jibelonly contains lost+found16:35
stgraberok16:37
stgraberok, looking at bug 645449 now, hopefully I can get that one fixed for good ...16:59

evbdmurray: yeah, I'll endeavor to get to that today18:04
