stgrabercjwatson: thanks for fixing bug 94855915:08
ubot2`Launchpad bug 948559 in vlan "eth* NIC names hardcoded" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94855915:08
cjwatsonstgraber: regex-tastic15:21
stgraberyeah, I had a look at the diff ;)15:26
brendandis it usual for ubiquity to install grub on every disk attached to a system?15:48
cjwatsonyes15:48
cjwatsonrequired for robustness since there is no guarantee about which one will be the first disk according to the BIOS15:48
brendandit seems it effectively destroyed a disk for someone as it installed grub over the blocks which stored the encryption software (i guess)15:50
brendandnot sure if that's the right way to put it15:50
brendandsomething called truecrypt15:50
cjwatsonthat would need to be handled in grub itself rather than some kind of gross installer hack15:54
cjwatsoninteraction with truecrypt is a known issue but I don't know what's been done about it15:55
cjwatsonI doubt it's as simple as just avoiding the disk since there are probably people who want grub to actually be able to read from truecrypted disks15:55
cjwatsonI believe there's still a drop-down somewhere in ubiquity that lets you install grub to a partition instead15:56
cjwatsonand then you could chainload it from truecrypt15:56
cjwatsone.g. http://pzolee.blogs.balabit.com/2010/07/grub2-and-truecrypt-windows-linux-dual-boot-system/15:56
brendandcjwatson, so it's likely to affect all linux installers, right?16:01
cjwatsonbrendand: any installers that install to disk rather than to a partition by default16:04
cjwatsonwhich is grub2's recommended approach but it won't be the case for all Linux distributions16:05
cyphermoxcjwatson:  I'd like your opinion on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/948217; I'm trying to fix these reported cases of NetworkManager not managing connections after an alternate install; seems like ifblacklist_migrate.sh was missing something16:28
ubot2`Launchpad bug 948217 in network-manager "wireless devices are not managed when installing from alternate" [High,In progress]16:28
cyphermoxslangasek helped with fixing up a better sed to deal with the changes16:29
bdmurraythere are still some outstanding wubi merge proposals at https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/wubi/trunk/+activereviews16:45
cjwatsonyeah, I was meaning to look at bcbc's at least16:48
stgrabercjwatson: I'm happy to look at the wubi merge proposals later today/tomorrow if you're busy with other things. I believe I still have the needed build environment here (required some tweaking to work with amd64) and I can borrow highvoltage's windows machine for testing ;)18:01
cjwatsoncyphermox: sorry for slow response, queued up18:13
cjwatsonwill need to think about it :)18:13
cjwatsonstgraber: certainly wouldn't object, we can race18:13
cyphermoxcjwatson: sure, np. mostly just checking with you if we didn't forget something that would make this a bad idea18:35
CIA-32wubi: stgraber * r258 wubi/debian/changelog: Update changelog18:59
stgrabercjwatson: Is it correct that wubi isn't covered by the Canonical contributing agreement? (not listed at http://www.canonical.com/contributors)19:08
stgrabercjwatson: just want to check before I merge from bcbc19:08
stgraberright, wubi wasn't initialy written by Canonical (confirmed by debian/copyright), so assuming it's not covered by the contributing agreement then20:36
