[11:11] <brendand> we'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 stick
[11:12] <brendand> problem is that it comes up as sda
[11:13] <brendand> how can we make the preseed use some common sense?

[11:21] <ogra_> i wasnt aware we actually started building gtkfb images ... is that on purpose ?
[13:49] <Armandeg> hey, anyone here?
[13:50] <Armandeg> Hey, 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....
[13:51] <Armandeg> just good for later/background knowledge
[14:24] <stgraber> ogra_: AFAIK we do it because d-i does it by default, I don't think anyone actually tests them though ;)
[14:24] <stgraber> jibel: I'm working on installer bugs now, so if you see anything critical, let me know
[14:25] <stgraber> jibel: I'll have a quick look at bug 936115 to confirm it's a duplicate of bug 939450, then work some more on bug 898278

[14:43] <stgraber> jibel: ok, it's not a duplicate ;) looking at what's wrong now
[14:52] <stgraber> jibel: this one seems like an easy fix though, apparently something changed in a recent gtk requiring an extra parameter
[14:54] <ogra_> stgraber, ah, makes sense
[14:59] <stgraber> jibel: right-click should just do nothing right?
[14:59]  * stgraber should have an older version of Ubuntu running in anthoer VM to compare...
[15:01] <stgraber> hmm, the bug says I should get a contextual menu ... checking on 11.10 ...
[15:02] <jibel> stgraber, testing with oneiric
[15:02] <stgraber> jibel: just tested, 11.10 doesn't have a contextual menu
[15:02] <stgraber> so I guess my fix is right then
[15:03] <jibel> useless feature just here to crash the installer, nice :)
[15:05] <stgraber> jibel: 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-critical

[15:07] <jibel> stgraber, not on the installer side
[15:07] <jibel> stgraber, there is bug 940908

[15:07] <jibel> but I can't reproduce it
[15:08] <jibel> pitti tried too and it worked
[15:08] <stgraber> ok, will poke at the upgrade bug then for now
[15:09] <jibel> I think it's due to persistence on usb
[15:13] <jibel> stgraber, I confirm bug 940908
[15:13] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 940908 in ubiquity "Cannot localize keyboard at startup in live session" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/940908
[15:13] <jibel> it only happens from usb on bare metal
[15:14] <jibel> in that case XKBLAYOUT is set to 'us
[15:14] <jibel>  ' in /etc/default/keyboard
[15:14] <jibel> even is the language is non-english
[15:14] <jibel> i'll update the bug report
[15:15] <stgraber> jibel: does it only happen when you allow for some persistent storage on USB or even without persistent storage?
[15:15] <jibel> stgraber, I created usb with persistence, but the bug occurs on 1rst boot
[15:16] <jibel> stgraber, I'll retry without
[15:18] <stgraber> jibel: thanks. My understanding of the USB key stuff is that unless you turn on persistence, it should be identical to a live image
[15:32] <jibel> stgraber, it only occurs with persistence enabled
[15:33] <stgraber> jibel: ok, can you pastebin the list of all files on the usb stick just after creating it with persistence enabled?
[15:33] <stgraber> jibel: I want to check if for some reason usb-creator is copying/creating some files

[16:15] <stgraber> bdmurray: ^ finally ;)
[16:17] <bdmurray> stgraber: great!
[16:18] <stgraber> bdmurray: 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.
[16:20] <stgraber> jibel: what's casper-rw? is that a partition? if so, can you mount it and list its content too?
[16:35] <jibel> stgraber, I guess it is the permanent storage. It's an empty ext3 filesystem
[16:35] <jibel> only contains lost+found
[16:37] <stgraber> ok
[16:59] <stgraber> ok, looking at bug 645449 now, hopefully I can get that one fixed for good ...
