| cjwatson | ah, yes, it's a test isolation bug - it works if you run the whole test suite | 13:20 |
| cjwatson | (that's at least enough for me to get past this and fix what I actually wanted to work on) | 13:20 |
| ogra_ | slangasek, well, its obligatory if oem-config didnt run yet :) but i also end up with no /e/n/i after a successfull non networked install (not even loopback in there) ... the latter is on my list for things to look at after (if i ever *sigh*) found out whats wrong with automatic preseeding installs in oem-config | 13:21 |
| slangasek | hmm, let me look at that ifupdown hook - is it possible we don't properly handle the case that there are *no* networks configured in /e/n/i? | 13:23 |
| ogra_ | intrestingly the log doesnt reveal much exciting stuff even if i run oem-config --automatic --debug | 13:23 |
| ogra_ | slangasek, i would rather blame oem-config to not run all modules ubiquity would usually | 13:24 |
| slangasek | ogra_: no, just reviewed /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart, and it was written to handle the case when there are no interfaces configured in /e/n/i - as long as 'ifup lo' succeeds | 13:24 |
| slangasek | ogra_: there *was* a problem with this error message showing up on first boot, which was tracked down to a resolvconf bug; but that should be fixed now | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | hmm, but then i shouldnt get the message | 13:25 |
| slangasek | i.e., the resolvconf hook was exiting non-zero and preventing the upstart hook from ever firing | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | also shouldnt we drop lo from /e/n/i for completeness ? | 13:25 |
| slangasek | no | 13:26 |
| slangasek | that's where it's supposed to be configured :) | 13:26 |
| ogra_ | but upstart already handles it | 13:26 |
| slangasek | after getting this message, can you grab me the output of 'sudo ifquery --list' and 'ls -l /run/network'? | 13:26 |
| slangasek | upstart handles it to protect you from a misconfigured /e/n/i | 13:26 |
| slangasek | it's actually possible that you might want to have additional configuration of lo, beyond the default | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | well, thats fine to add to /e/n/i then :) | 13:27 |
| barry | slangasek: okay, net's back up, but mumble is still ill ;) | 13:28 |
| ogra_ | i just think (since years already) that its superfluous to have it there for the default | 13:28 |
| stgraber | slangasek: resolvconf hook preventing the upstart hook was a while ago right? (want to make sure my revert of ifupdown's run-parts arguments didn't fail for some reason without me knowing ;)) | 13:28 |

| stgraber | cjwatson: if you can move the display and engine lines from within the "if nodes" to just before it and then move back lock_group to outside the else, the MP looks good for merging | 13:42 |
| ogra_ | Teduardo, before or after april ? | 13:42 |
| Teduardo | Do you mean are the servers coming before or after april, or do you mean that the version of Ubuntu? | 13:42 |

| ogra_ | and i dont think there were any new spins of 10.04 planned | 13:43 |
| cjwatson | Teduardo: #ubuntu-kernel would be better, in any event - the installer mostly isn't directly responsible for hardware support | 13:44 |
| cjwatson | stgraber: right - reload the MP? | 13:44 |
| Teduardo | Sorry, I meant the kernel in the installer... splitting hairs now =) | 13:44 |
| cjwatson | Teduardo: same kernel | 13:44 |
| * barry -> reboot | 13:45 | |
| cjwatson | Teduardo: and the kernel packaging is responsible for selecting which modules to deliver to the installer, as well | 13:45 |
| stgraber | cjwatson: looks good. Marked as approved on LP | 13:45 |
| Teduardo | right but if they update the kernel in the distribution, someone would then have to go back and port the new one to the installer images | 13:45 |
| cjwatson | Teduardo: which is a trivial thing to do, but the kernel would have to be sorted out first | 13:45 |
| cjwatson | honestly, not much point asking us before the kernel is changed | 13:45 |

| jodh | ev: yes, something odd happened there: https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesodhunt/ubiquity/bug-944191/+merge/98435 | 15:35 |
| infinity | ogra_: The (slightly better) logic in zram-config could certainly be rolled into compcache-enable. | 15:35 |
| ogra_ | infinity, yeah | 15:35 |
| infinity | ogra_: And then we just need to turn it on in places where we want it. | 15:35 |
| ogra_ | well, the prob with the bug seems to be that we need to parse the cmdline to make it only run in casper envs | 15:36 |
| ogra_ | i.e. only if boot=casper | 15:36 |
| ogra_ | but then we break it for everyone who *wants* to use it | 15:37 |
| ogra_ | (like ac100 users) | 15:37 |
| ogra_ | i dont really see any solution to the bug apart from "dont install casper on normal systems" | 15:38 |
| ogra_ | (which was the answer to the last iteration of the same bug we had years ago iirc) | 15:38 |
| infinity | ogra_: Well, we can enable it conditionally based on a kernel cmdline, and add that to the ac100 cmdline. | 15:40 |
| infinity | compcache=noreallyimeanit | 15:40 |
| ogra_ | infinity, thats what happens already ... well, the COMPCACHE:SIZE var is shipped in casper and only if thats present compcache is actually used ... | 15:40 |
| ogra_ | and we have a kernel cmdline var to *dis* able it | 15:41 |
| infinity | Yeah. | 15:41 |
| ogra_ | i dont really like to fiddle around with kernel cmdlines more than we need | 15:42 |
| infinity | Dirty hack, check for [ -d casper-bottom ] && ! boot=casper? | 15:42 |
| infinity | ie: if casper is installed, but not in use? | 15:42 |
| infinity | Still, seems like it's just breaking one weird corner case (you have casper locally for some odd reason, *and* want compcache) to prevent another (you have casper installed locally when you shouldn't). | 15:44 |
| ogra_ | yeah, that sounds pretty sane | 15:45 |
| ogra_ | otoh i would just close the bug :P | 15:46 |
| ogra_ | its not a bad thing to have 50% zram | 15:46 |
| ev | yay, I've got NetworkManager running on a different system bus (provided I stop the existing one first) | 15:46 |
| ev | cheers stgraber | 15:46 |
| ogra_ | and i dont see why it would be a bad user experience to suddenly have more ram :) | 15:46 |
| cjwatson | infinity: if you want compcache explicitly, though, you can always configure it in initramfs.size | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | initramfs.conf | 15:47 |
| cjwatson | or another conf.d script | 15:47 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson, still, i would just close that bug, a) using zram has no actual drawbacks, b) casper is usually not installed ... if infinity wants to fold his zram handling into the casper scripts i think thats fine but independent | 15:51 |

| cjwatson | hm, 'debug-oem-config' would've been useful | 16:10 |
| ogra_ | i just added --debug to the oem-config-wrapper cmdline | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | can you get that? (I realise it takes a while, sorry ...) | 16:10 |
| ogra_ | since i hacked it anyway | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | oh, but there's no debconf debug output in your log | 16:10 |
| cjwatson | maybe it's in /var/log/oem-config.log? | 16:10 |
| ogra_ | oh, one sec | 16:10 |
| ogra_ | LOL | 16:11 |
| ogra_ | yeah, and i was looking at the wrong log all the time | 16:11 |
| ogra_ | sorry, let me try myself first then before i waste your time | 16:11 |
| ogra_ | (thopugh i can attach it anyway) | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | sure | 16:12 |
| ogra_ | done | 16:12 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: is this the debconf frontend? | 16:14 |
| cjwatson | yeah, it is | 16:14 |
| ogra_ | yep | 16:15 |
| ogra_ | ARGH ! | 16:15 |
| ogra_ | the HUD just started lobO while i typed yep | 16:15 |
| ogra_ | *libO | 16:15 |
| cjwatson | --automatic has little effect on the debconf frontend - it only does anything much useful with frontends that filter the debconf protocol | 16:15 |
| ogra_ | apprently the p from yep got typed into the HUD window | 16:16 |
| cjwatson | so that is, I think, a red herring | 16:16 |
| ogra_ | hmm | 16:16 |
| ogra_ | but why is it asking the preseeded questions then | 16:16 |
| cjwatson | are they actually getting preseeded by anything? | 16:16 |
| ogra_ | there is a preseed.cfg that gets applied by jasper on first boot, yes | 16:17 |
| cjwatson | for example, there's no sign that clock-setup/utc is preseeded here, but that's in the preseed file | 16:17 |
| ogra_ | and i also applied it manually inveween to make it pick up changes | 16:17 |
| ogra_ | (using debconf-set-selections /presseed.cfg) | 16:17 |
| ogra_ | *preseed.cfg | 16:18 |
| ogra_ | it definitely is preseeded, i can see it with debconf-get-selections | 16:18 |
| cjwatson | oh, wait, clock-setup/utc is preseeded, you're right, odd | 16:18 |
| * cjwatson goes and peers at debconf | 16:18 | |
| ogra_ | looking at the ubiquity plugins i see a lot of hardcoded places where "seen" is set to false ... not sure that relates anyhow if the debconf frontend is used | 16:19 |
| * ogra_ quickly picks up some fresh coffee | 16:20 | |
| cjwatson | the reason the seen flag has no effect is that we explicitly set "Reshow: true" in the debconf configuration file | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | bin/ubiquity:start_debconf | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | now there was a reason I did that :-) let me do some archaeology | 16:20 |
| cjwatson | dates back to before the oem-config mrge | 16:21 |
| ogra_ | well, it doesnt seem to affect ubiquity --automatic | 16:23 |
| ogra_ | and i guess using oem-config that way is a very special usecase | 16:24 |
| ogra_ | (though important for QA to do automated install tests) | 16:24 |
| cjwatson | not saying it shouldn't be fixed somehow, I just want to remember the exact reason so as not to break other things | 16:25 |
| ogra_ | right, i was meaning to say, i wouldnt mid if it was special cased even with a special switch :) | 16:26 |
| ogra_ | *mind | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | that's one plausible option, yes | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | heh, original commit that added Reshow was "Add a debconf_ui frontend which can be used in text mode on a server." | 16:26 |
| ogra_ | LOL ! | 16:26 |
| cjwatson | anyway, I think it was basically because those questions had already been shown by d-i so if we wanted them to be actually asked then we needed to tell debconf to reshow | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | obviously doesn't make sense in automatic mode | 16:27 |
| ogra_ | right | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | so, let's see | 16:27 |
| infinity | cjwatson: So, platform seeds, live-build, find-live-filesystem, and debian-installer. Can you think of where else the powerpc-smp change needs to happen? | 16:28 |
| cjwatson | infinity: live-build or livecd-rootfs depending on where you want to do it | 16:29 |
| infinity | cjwatson: live-build was in the list already and done. :) | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | infinity: debian-cd/tools/boot/precise/boot-powerpc and possibly elsewhere | 16:29 |
| infinity | Oh, debian-cd, right. I only touched cdimage. | 16:29 |
| * infinity looks. | 16:29 | |
| cjwatson | maybe data/precise/yaboot/ | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | or maybe not, it just has "powerpc64" | 16:30 |
| infinity | Yeah, that's subarch, not kernel flavour. | 16:30 |
| infinity | Cause we're wildly inconsistent there. | 16:30 |
| ogra_ | traditionally | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | and there's casper_subarch=powerpc | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | so ok, change casper_subarch, and leave the d-i subarch as powerpc | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | then debian-cd should cope from there | 16:31 |
| infinity | Yeah, that's what I'm getting from my grep too. Cheers. | 16:32 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: try http://paste.ubuntu.com/892423/ ? | 16:33 |
| cjwatson | something along those lines anyway ... | 16:33 |
| * ogra_ hacks that in | 16:33 | |
| * infinity can't help but think he's missing something... | 16:34 | |
| infinity | cjwatson: What's the name of the d-i component with all the kernel lookup tables? | 16:34 |
| cjwatson | infinity: base-installer | 16:34 |
| * infinity recalls having to touch that for some ARM kernels recently... | 16:35 | |
| infinity | Right. | 16:35 |
| cjwatson | yeah, you probably need to fix that | 16:35 |
| bdmurray | ev: well I've managed to narrow it down to something in do_draw of StylizedFrame | 16:40 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson, still getting questions for user-setup and tasksel but it improved a lot and it could well be my tinkering over the whole day that messed up the debconf db | 16:43 |
| ev | okay | 16:43 |
| ogra_ | i'll try with a clean image but that will take a while | 16:43 |
| stgraber | I think I can blame bug 960096 on lightdm | 16:44 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 960096 in ubiquity "Live session started with wrong layout" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/960096 | 16:44 |
| stgraber | (yeah, took me 3 hours to get to that conclusion) | 16:44 |
| infinity | cjwatson: What would you prefer for base-installer? Minimal 1-line diff ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/892440/ ), or simplyfying that section to remove all the SMP business? | 16:44 |
| stgraber | now poking mterry to confirm and hopefully fix it | 16:44 |
| cjwatson | infinity: something that won't make me go insane when merging in future - I don't mind too much | 16:45 |
| cjwatson | infinity: remember to update the tests thouogh | 16:45 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Yeah, I think the tests may alread pass with powerpc-smp, but double-checking. | 16:46 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: OK - and that could even just be an inadequate preseed file | 16:46 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: sounds like a good improvement anyway | 16:46 |
| ogra_ | right | 16:46 |
| ogra_ | it definitely is ! | 16:46 |
| ogra_ | thanks so much ... i thought i would go insane here :) | 16:46 |
| ogra_ | GrueMaster, ^^^ so we got a huge step forward | 16:47 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: happy to look at a debconf log from a fresh image if it's not fixed / immediately obvious | 16:47 |
| ogra_ | ok | 16:47 |
| GrueMaster | Awesome! | 16:48 |
| GrueMaster | do you have a new preseed for me to try or does this require code changes? | 16:48 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Looks like the SMP magic comes from Debian, so I'll just go with the 1-line diff, much easier to merge. | 16:48 |
| ogra_ | GrueMaster, we need to add automatic-ubioquity to the cmdline and yes, there are some minor code changes | 16:48 |
| cjwatson | infinity: OK | 16:48 |
| GrueMaster | ogra_: ok. Will wait for your signal to give it a whirl. | 16:49 |
| ogra_ | GrueMaster, i want to let the running install finish and will then start over with a clean image to see if we can get rid of the last bits | 16:49 |
| ogra_ | YAY ! | 16:49 |
| * ogra_ just logged in with ubuntu/ubuntu | 16:49 | |
| ogra_ | so even though it asked me the user-sertup question about fullname and login, it applied the preseeded passwd (which it didnt ask for) | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | blast, I need an amd64 sbuild instance | 16:51 |
| cjwatson | hooray for mk-sbuild | 16:51 |
| barry | mk-sbuild is awesome | 17:08 |
| * barry -> lunch | 17:08 | |
| stgraber | out for lunch too, hopefully this afternoon will be more productive for ubiquity ;) at least I'm pretty familiar with gnome and lightdm's keyboard handling... | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/partman-partitioning/gpt-boot-partition-855871/+merge/98460 - review/thoughts welcome | 17:09 |
| cjwatson | dinner | 17:10 |
| CIA-32 | base-installer: adconrad * r971 ubuntu/ (4 files in 3 dirs): Switch to powerpc-smp kernels | 17:20 |
| * infinity notices that he's hungry, and goes to do something about that. | 17:41 | |
| ogra_ | ARGH ! | 17:44 |
| infinity | ogra_: ? | 17:44 |
| * ogra_ curses unity once more ... so it popped up the SD card nautilus window but the globalmenu still had the close buttons for the terminal i was working in | 17:44 | |
| ogra_ | which made me close my work window with all its history | 17:45 |
| infinity | Global menu follows focus. | 17:45 |
| infinity | Isn't it a feature that autofs-windows don't steal focus? | 17:45 |
| ogra_ | focus follows mouse here :P | 17:45 |
| ogra_ | and it seems thats still buggy | 17:45 |
| infinity | You use ffm with global menus? | 17:45 |
| infinity | That sounds horrifying. | 17:46 |
| ogra_ | (though i heard a lot promises it would be fixed in 12.04) | 17:46 |
| ogra_ | i use FFM since warty | 17:46 |
| infinity | Sure, I always used to use FFM. | 17:46 |
| infinity | But I can't see how it would ever play nicely with global menus. | 17:46 |
| ogra_ | and this install is from hoary ... just updated every release | 17:46 |
| infinity | Unless you have it on a really long delay, and move FAST. :P | 17:46 |
| ogra_ | which got me unity 3D ... but since i havent used any x86 desktop in over a year i never noticed how bad it is | 17:47 |
| ogra_ | anyway, to move to the close button i had to move across the desktop and thus across the fullscreen nautilus window | 17:48 |
| ogra_ | which i would have expected to switch the menu and window buttons to nautilus indeed | 17:48 |
| ogra_ | anyway, thanks god at least the terminal preserved its history | 17:49 |
| slangasek | with ffm and compiz+unity, I would expect that mousing up to the top bar would cause compiz to recursively generate menus for the bar itself ;) | 17:49 |
| slangasek | but I guess unity is smarter than that, at least | 17:49 |
| cjwatson | I used ffm with global menus for a while and it didn't bother me desperately because (a) I tend to use the keyboard to get at menus and (b) if I have multiple windows on the screen then they tend to be terminals and I don't care about their menus anyway | 17:50 |
| ogra_ | well, i'm using unity 3D for the first time in my life this week .... i must admit i'm shocked | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | but these days I have the global menu turned off | 17:50 |
| ogra_ | i mean, i played with it before ... but never actually used it | 17:50 |
| ogra_ | 2D doesnt have all these issues | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | 2D just steals your keybindings every other week | 17:50 |
| infinity | Heh. | 17:51 |
| ogra_ | well, i rarely use much more than alt-tab | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | not that I'm bitter | 17:51 |
| ogra_ | which doesnt seem to work as i need it at all here atm | 17:51 |
| ogra_ | i never end up in the window i expect to end up in | 17:51 |
| infinity | Well, to be fair, 2D's keybindings just mimick the 3D defaults. The problem is that they're all hardcoded. :/ | 17:51 |
| infinity | Sure would love it if some of these Linux programmers remembered what config files were for. | 17:52 |
| ogra_ | bah, and there is another prob with oem-config --automatic ... | 17:52 |
| ogra_ | the upstart job somehow should respect the kernel cmdline setting :P | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | infinity: yes, on 3D they're configurable and 2D they're hardcoded, as a rule ... | 17:53 |
| * ogra_ has wonderful debug output from two runs now .... but nothing automatic at all :P | 17:53 | |
| cjwatson | it does, but doesn't have any automatic handling | 17:53 |
| cjwatson | I suggest you call it automatic-oem-config rather than automatic-ubiquity, in line with debug-oem-config | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | (might not necessarily want the same for both) | 17:54 |
| infinity | cjwatson: They're only configurable in 3D because unity happens to be an enormous compiz plugin. I doubt it was a conscious decision to make them configurable, but rather just how you work in that framework. | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | infinity: true | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: so http://paste.ubuntu.com/892536/ say? | 17:55 |
| cjwatson | anyone had a chance to look at my partman-partitioning change? | 17:56 |
| infinity | I think I missed the call for review. | 17:57 |
| infinity | 48 minutes ago? | 17:57 |
| * infinity looks. | 17:57 | |
| cjwatson | 17:09 <cjwatson> https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/partman-partitioning/gpt-boot-partition-855871/+merge/98460 - review/thoughts welcome | 17:57 |
| infinity | I wonder how much "efi" code in Linux is actually just workaround for Intel Macs above and beyond normal efi handling. | 17:58 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson, heh, thats exactly what i have in my oem-config.conf here too ... but didnt start up the automatic mode it seems | 17:58 |
| ogra_ | well, not using automatic-oem-config but automatic-ubiquity here atm | 17:59 |
| ogra_ | i suspect the various levels of wrappers swallow it somewhere | 17:59 |
| * ogra_ gets new coffee and will then track that down | 18:00 | |
| * jodh -> foooooood | 18:02 | |
| infinity | cjwatson: Only two questions. | 18:03 |
| infinity | cjwatson: In the case where you throw your hands up in the air and exit 0, what if I didn't actually intend to boot from a non-GPT disk? | 18:03 |
| * bdmurray takes lunch | 18:04 | |
| infinity | cjwatson: And should the debconf templates about BIOS/EFI boot partitions perhaps hint at an appropriate size for them? I'd have no clue what to do if I got that dialog. | 18:04 |
| jibel | barry, I added a test case to reproduce bug 792652 in a VM (vbox in my case) but I reproduce it more easily on a crappy laptop. | 18:05 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 792652 in ubiquity "ubiquity crashed with ValueError in command(): I/O operation on closed file" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/792652 | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | infinity: Unfortunately, at the partitioning stage, we can't know. grub-installer will fail later, which I think is regrettably the best we can do in this case. | 18:05 |
| cjwatson | infinity: I can add size advice, sure. | 18:05 |
| jibel | barry, also, while reproducing it I got bug 629321 with similar steps but on first step of the installer. | 18:06 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 629321 in ubiquity "ubiquity crashed with AttributeError in debconffilter_done()" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/629321 | 18:06 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Kay. The answer to the former is unfortunate, but such is life. The shell looks otherwise sane to me. Add a bit telling me WTF goes in a boot partition (or just tell me how big it should be), and I'll be happy. | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | oh, as for what goes in the boot partition, the "EFI boot partition" and "Reserved BIOS boot area" terms there are things you can select in "Use as:" | 18:07 |
| barry | jibel: cool. i want to spend a little more time on my current bug, then i'll look at these again. i think we have a general problem that it's pretty easy to click on buttons that get the front-end out of sync. | 18:07 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Well, you tell me, I guess ("boot loader code"), but that doesn't mean much to most people. :) | 18:07 |
| cjwatson | perhaps I need to spell that out? | 18:07 |
| barry | jibel: but we'll probably have to fix them one-by-one | 18:07 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Spelling out the type/use-as a bit more might be nice. I felt it was obvious, but I understand all of this to start with. | 18:07 |
| infinity | cjwatson: But size is really the glaring omission. 512 bytes, several blocks, several MB, who knows? ;) | 18:08 |
| cjwatson | infinity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892553/ maybe? | 18:09 |
| infinity | cjwatson: That looks much better, yeah. | 18:10 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Also, 35MB? What the heck goes in there? | 18:10 |
| infinity | cjwatson: (I assume the 1MB one is just a stage2 bootloader or something) | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | minimum size for fat32 ... | 18:10 |
| infinity | That's not true. Limitation of dosfstools? | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | parted | 18:11 |
| infinity | (You could format 1.44MB floppies with fat32, and even ntfs, if you felt the stupid desire) | 18:11 |
| cjwatson | experimentally verified as the minimum it'll let you create | 18:11 |
| infinity | Though ntfs on a floppy was great, the MFT took most of the disk. | 18:11 |
| cjwatson | it demands they be fat16 below that | 18:11 |
| infinity | But fair enough. Tool limitation is a reasonable excuse to waste 35MB on people's enormous disks. It's not like they care anymore. | 18:12 |
| cjwatson | for a BBP it's actually 31 KiB, but I didn't want to skate too close to the line and introduce KiB/KB confusion since partman speaks in decimal units, and I have a funny feeling it won't let you go smaller than 1MB anyway (ubiquity's manual partitioner won't, at least) | 18:12 |
| cjwatson | and if you make it that small you risk grub's core image being a bit bigger in some cases, so I normally recommend 1MB | 18:12 |
| infinity | Yeah, the 1MB one seemed fine. It's also a very easy number to communicate. :P | 18:13 |
| infinity | Was just curious about the 35MB. | 18:13 |
| stgraber | right, so that keyboard layout problem apparently is a gnome-settings-daemon bug that was hidden by a unity-greeter bug and that people thought was an ubiquity bug ;) now to move to something that's actually ubiquity's fault | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | yeah, I know it's a slightly bizarre number | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | I think it was actually 32MiB plus a bit for the tables and then modulo rounding, or something. I worked it out exactly in sectors. | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | if [ "$new_efi_size" ] && longint_le "$new_efi_size" 34091007; then | 18:13 |
| cjwatson | is what I wrote in partman-efi | 18:14 |
| infinity | Heh. Fair enough. This is why it's good to have the value in the dialog. ;) | 18:14 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 18:14 |
| infinity | Cause if I saw "boot loader code", I'd just make it tiny. | 18:14 |
| infinity | And it would fail later, I assume, when parted tried to format it fat32. | 18:15 |
| cjwatson | partman-efi would've warned you in a subsequent go-around if you made it too small, but that's tedious | 18:15 |
| infinity | Unless there's a check in place when you mark it for EFI Boot. | 18:15 |
| cjwatson | there is (bug 811485 | 18:15 |

| ogra_ | heh, as i thought, oem-config-wrapper actually swallows the --automatic | 18:24 |
| ogra_ | err | 18:24 |
| ogra_ | oem-config-firstboot i mean | 18:24 |
| ogra_ | ugh | 18:25 |
| ogra_ | and that looks like it needs a proper option parser too | 18:25 |
| ogra_ | DEBUG= | 18:25 |
| ogra_ | if [ "$1" = '--debug' ]; then | 18:25 |
| ogra_ | DEBUG=--debug | 18:25 |
| ogra_ | fi | 18:25 |
| infinity | For just two options, a simple case walk through $@ is enough. | 18:26 |
| infinity | But it's never too early to use getopts. | 18:26 |
| ogra_ | bah, nah | 18:26 |
| ogra_ | i'm not a getopts fan | 18:26 |
| ogra_ | $@ and case :) | 18:27 |
| GrueMaster | ogra_: cjwatson had a pastebin earlier that had a fix for that. | 18:28 |
| ogra_ | though ... i dont actually see $DEBUG used in -firstboot, i could just hand $@ through to the actual execution call | 18:28 |
| ogra_ | GrueMaster, nope, that was the same fix i already have for the upstart job | 18:28 |
| ogra_ | this is deeper down the trail | 18:28 |
| GrueMaster | Ah. different wrapper. | 18:29 |
| ogra_ | yeah, this is oem-config-firstboot | 18:29 |
| infinity | ogra_: DEBUG is used. | 18:29 |
| cjwatson | right, I only fixed part of it | 18:29 |
| infinity | ogra_: Sets TRY. | 18:29 |
| GrueMaster | maybe we need another wrapper to fix it? | 18:29 |
| ogra_ | oh, i see | 18:29 |
| ogra_ | yeah | 18:29 |
| infinity | But a simple case walk and setting AUTOMAGIC as well would work fine. | 18:30 |
| ogra_ | GrueMaster, its two options we want to parse ... we will need two wrappers ! | 18:30 |
| GrueMaster | :P | 18:30 |
| ogra_ | oir five just because its oem-config ... | 18:30 |
| ogra_ | seriously we should have a blueprint to clean that up some day | 18:31 |
| doko | jodh, are you working on 946663 now? | 18:31 |
| GrueMaster | Need to use a different language though. bash, perl, and python have been used. Need something more obscure. Logo or Lisp maybe? | 18:31 |
| ogra_ | way to many wrappers in the stack | 18:31 |
| ogra_ | vala ! | 18:31 |
| ogra_ | and ruby | 18:31 |
| infinity | PHP, obviously. | 18:32 |
| ogra_ | only for the lowest level where security matters | 18:32 |
| infinity | And then we get a whole host of bugs like "I ran the installer with php_safe_mode=on, but it still formatted my disks". | 18:32 |
| infinity | And I die a little inside. | 18:32 |
| GrueMaster | Could be an excuse to keep mono in the images. | 18:33 |
| * GrueMaster hides | 18:33 | |
| ogra_ | now thats a good idea and finally a reason to move to full DVD images | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | I think python is the only language to have the distinction of having formatted people's disks during Ubuntu installation due to a language bug | 18:33 |
| infinity | cjwatson: *cough* | 18:33 |
| ogra_ | not these lame 1.5G thingies | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | bug 40464 | 18:34 |

| cjwatson | jodh: have you had a chance to make those minor adjustments to your branch from earlier today? If you can do that then I can get it landed. | 18:43 |
| * cjwatson has yet another go at reproducing bug 745960 | 18:43 | |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 745960 in grub2 "Cannot boot GRUB after installing to LVM" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/745960 | 18:43 |
| ogra_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/892594/ | 18:45 |
| ogra_ | coudl someone give that a glance before i commit and push | 18:45 |
| cjwatson | 'for option in $@; do' can just be 'for option; do' IIRC | 18:45 |
| cjwatson | which reduces quoting worries | 18:46 |
| ogra_ | oh, and i missed to set AUTOMATIC | 18:46 |
| * ogra_ fixes | 18:46 | |
| cjwatson | initialise? yeah | 18:46 |
| cjwatson | looks fine, anyway - I assume you didn't close a bug because it's only part of Tobin's bug | 18:46 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Can you give http://paste.ubuntu.com/892595/ a once-over? | 18:47 |
| ogra_ | right, it will need your first fix too | 18:47 |
| ogra_ | after i actually verified it | 18:47 |
| infinity | cjwatson: The Makefile change is just an optimisation (sha256 while we have a warm cache instead of making cdimage do it later) | 18:47 |
| cjwatson | we didn't have sha256sum already? wow. | 18:47 |
| cjwatson | ah | 18:47 |
| ogra_ | comitted and pushed (damned where is my CIA setup gone :/ ) | 18:48 |
| cjwatson | infinity: that's not quite right for the case where it builds binaries and sources. (we may not use that, but still) | 18:49 |
| infinity | cjwatson: No? | 18:49 |
| cjwatson | because it's important in that case that OUT is changed | 18:49 |
| cjwatson | 'make imagesums' is dependent on the current value of $OUT | 18:49 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Oh, indeed. Bother. | 18:49 |
| cjwatson | we could move the compression code around instead (and duplicate it :-/) | 18:50 |
| ogra_ | oh, do we have a manpage or any doc i need to add the new option to ? | 18:51 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Or, I could put the first make imagesums back in (the one in the sub-if). | 18:51 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Oh, but that's unhelpfully a binary image, not a source image. | 18:51 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: possibly something on the wiki, can't quite remember ... | 18:51 |
| cjwatson | *cough* | 18:51 |
| ogra_ | k, i was more about something in the branch :) | 18:51 |
| infinity | cjwatson: If I inverted that and build the source first, that would work. Since compress is only for binary images (I think?), and then OUT would always be right for binaries. | 18:52 |
| cjwatson | oh, what do you know, there's doc/oem-config-firstboot.8 | 18:52 |
| ogra_ | heh, ok | 18:52 |
| cjwatson | that was a bit enthusiastic of me | 18:52 |
| * ogra_ still waits for bzr to return | 18:52 | |
| cjwatson | infinity: true, yes | 18:52 |
| cjwatson | it's bin-compress_images so it'd better be just binaries | 18:53 |
| infinity | You'd think, right? | 18:54 |
| cjwatson | naivete, I know | 18:55 |
| ogra_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/892624/ | 19:09 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson, .... just pro-forma | 19:09 |
| ogra_ | hmm, probably one "and" to much | 19:09 |
| cjwatson | also in SYNOPSIS | 19:09 |
| ogra_ | both fixed | 19:10 |
| cjwatson | (and man -l it to check, of course) | 19:11 |
| ogra_ | hmm, i wonder, shouldnt the manpage also list the kernel cmdline options | 19:11 |
| ogra_ | to have them documented *somewhere* | 19:11 |
| cjwatson | mm, maybe | 19:12 |
| cjwatson | wouldn't be totally wrong :) | 19:12 |
| slangasek | https://code.launchpad.net/~vorlon/update-notifier/lp.876298/+merge/98487 | 19:12 |
| ogra_ | hmm., where do i put that, just in the flowing text that describes the option ? | 19:13 |
| cjwatson | I guess, or maybe a separate section | 19:15 |
| ogra_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/892639/ | 19:16 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Here, have a completely unreadable diff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892643/ | 19:18 |
| CIA-32 | ubiquity: stgraber * r5283 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py): Mark the quit dialog as transient for the live installer dialog. | 19:18 |
| cjwatson | infinity: (a) tab damage (b) that looks like it unconditionally generates source images | 19:20 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Only in the same case when it always did. | 19:20 |
| infinity | cjwatson: And the tab damage might just be cut and paste damage, that was bzr diff -> X primary buffer -> pastebin. | 19:20 |
| infinity | cjwatson: (But I'll double check the indenting) | 19:21 |
| stgraber | ogra_: can you configure CIA? | 19:22 |
| stgraber | I didn't see 5282 on IRC | 19:22 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Oh, no, it's vim hating me. | 19:22 |
| ogra_ | stgraber, yeah, sorry, i had it configured, but re-pulled my branches once | 19:22 |
| cjwatson | I'm totally confused. pastebinit, maybe? | 19:22 |
| infinity | cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/892656/ | 19:23 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: just a bit of Deutschlisch :) | 19:23 |
| cjwatson | If the option | 19:23 |
| ogra_ | haha | 19:24 |
| cjwatson | .Ic automatic\-oem\-config | 19:24 |
| ogra_ | k | 19:24 |
| cjwatson | is set on the kernel command line at boot time, this option is used automatically. | 19:24 |
| cjwatson | something like that | 19:24 |
| infinity | cjwatson: It might make a bit more sense with the sane whitespace there. :P | 19:24 |
| ogra_ | let me fix my CIA first | 19:24 |
| cjwatson | ah, yes, that's much more comprehensible | 19:24 |
| ogra_ | to nao make stephane crazy | 19:25 |
| ogra_ | *not | 19:25 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Basically, source always happened unconditionally in that block, I just do it first now, instead of second. | 19:25 |
| stgraber | ogra_: ;) | 19:25 |
| infinity | cjwatson: The only remaining optimisation would be to not do the final imagesums if it's an ONLYSOURCE build, so it's not done twice. | 19:26 |
| cjwatson | infinity: I think that's fine, yes, although the log output might make a little more sense if you moved 'make list' to be just before the binary build in the first block | 19:26 |
| infinity | cjwatson: Doesn't the source build depend on one of "make list" or "make src-list" being run first? | 19:27 |
| cjwatson | oh, I guess it might | 19:27 |
| cjwatson | ignore me then | 19:27 |
| infinity | cjwatson: (I was assuming make list is a superset of make src-list, given the original code) | 19:27 |
| cjwatson | I forget what all the targets do | 19:27 |
| ogra_ | cia-project for ubiquity is just ubiquity, right ? | 19:27 |
| cjwatson | list: bin-list src-list | 19:27 |
| infinity | Check. The shell implied that make dependency. :) | 19:28 |
| cjwatson | yeah, ignore me then | 19:28 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: yes | 19:28 |
| infinity | Right, I'll just add an ONLYSOURCE guard on the final imagesums, so we don't sum ONLYSOURCE builds twice, and call it good. | 19:28 |
| ogra_ | k, should be set up | 19:29 |
