[15:08] <stgraber> cjwatson: thanks for fixing bug 948559
[15:08] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 948559 in vlan "eth* NIC names hardcoded" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/948559
[15:21] <cjwatson> stgraber: regex-tastic
[15:26] <stgraber> yeah, I had a look at the diff ;)
[15:48] <brendand> is it usual for ubiquity to install grub on every disk attached to a system?
[15:48] <cjwatson> yes
[15:48] <cjwatson> required for robustness since there is no guarantee about which one will be the first disk according to the BIOS
[15:50] <brendand> it seems it effectively destroyed a disk for someone as it installed grub over the blocks which stored the encryption software (i guess)
[15:50] <brendand> not sure if that's the right way to put it
[15:50] <brendand> something called truecrypt
[15:54] <cjwatson> that would need to be handled in grub itself rather than some kind of gross installer hack
[15:55] <cjwatson> interaction with truecrypt is a known issue but I don't know what's been done about it
[15:55] <cjwatson> I 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 disks
[15:56] <cjwatson> I believe there's still a drop-down somewhere in ubiquity that lets you install grub to a partition instead
[15:56] <cjwatson> and then you could chainload it from truecrypt
[15:56] <cjwatson> e.g. http://pzolee.blogs.balabit.com/2010/07/grub2-and-truecrypt-windows-linux-dual-boot-system/
[16:01] <brendand> cjwatson, so it's likely to affect all linux installers, right?
[16:04] <cjwatson> brendand: any installers that install to disk rather than to a partition by default
[16:05] <cjwatson> which is grub2's recommended approach but it won't be the case for all Linux distributions
[16:28] <cyphermox> cjwatson:  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 something
[16:28] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 948217 in network-manager "wireless devices are not managed when installing from alternate" [High,In progress]
[16:29] <cyphermox> slangasek helped with fixing up a better sed to deal with the changes
[16:45] <bdmurray> there are still some outstanding wubi merge proposals at https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/wubi/trunk/+activereviews
[16:48] <cjwatson> yeah, I was meaning to look at bcbc's at least
[18:01] <stgraber> cjwatson: 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 ;)
[18:13] <cjwatson> cyphermox: sorry for slow response, queued up
[18:13] <cjwatson> will need to think about it :)
[18:13] <cjwatson> stgraber: certainly wouldn't object, we can race
[18:35] <cyphermox> cjwatson: sure, np. mostly just checking with you if we didn't forget something that would make this a bad idea
[18:59] <CIA-32> wubi: stgraber * r258 wubi/debian/changelog: Update changelog
[19:08] <stgraber> cjwatson: Is it correct that wubi isn't covered by the Canonical contributing agreement? (not listed at http://www.canonical.com/contributors)
[19:08] <stgraber> cjwatson: just want to check before I merge from bcbc
[20:36] <stgraber> right, wubi wasn't initialy written by Canonical (confirmed by debian/copyright), so assuming it's not covered by the contributing agreement then
