cjwatsonev: considering http://paste.ubuntu.com/927832/ to work around bug 922949, based on the trick you passed on from mvo yesterday12:17
ubot2Launchpad bug 922949 in apt "installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing "install updates" as part of the install" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/92294912:17
cjwatsonnot that I've ever been able to reproduce that myself, but if my guess on where the problem is is correct, that's not too surprising12:18
cjwatsonev: what should we do with bug 658865?  since you couldn't reproduce it and nobody's supplied information, should we remove the rls-p-tracking tag?12:19
ubot2Launchpad bug 658865 in baltix "Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed"" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65886512:19
cjwatsonI've marked it Incomplete, at least12:19
cjwatsonev: also, have you tried using unetbootin with a current daily build?  we might as well make sure that works12:19
cjwatsonev: and reminder that bug 645818 needs to be sorted out, preferably today if at all possible12:21

evI haven't tried unetbootin other than attempting to recreate the problem people were having with images generated it having 0 byte files for any symlink it encountered15:22
evbut I can have a look15:23
evI'll look at bug 645818 in a few minutes15:23

cjwatsonthe MIR there hasn't made any progress, but you could poke jdstrand maybe15:25
bdmurraystgraber: bug 966456 should be fixed correct?15:38
ubot2Launchpad bug 966456 in ubiquity "Webcam does not show live view under ¨Take a Photo¨ in the ¨choose a picture step¨." [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96645615:38
stgraberbdmurray: it should yeah, at the very least it's worth getting it re-tested with the new gstreamer15:39
stgraberbdmurray: the bug I fixed was the gstreamer hang where the step wouldn't even appear, it's not impossible for the live view to fail to render with some specific webcams though15:40
stgraberbut the reason for that is in the same part of the code I reverted yesterday, so getting it tested again sounds like a good idea15:40
CIA-32ubiquity: cjwatson * r5375 trunk/ (6 files in 3 dirs): Update translations from Launchpad.15:59
CIA-32ubiquity: cjwatson * r5376 trunk/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.10.1116:19
bdmurraybug 980676 has an interesting error - 'umount: cannot unmount /dev/sda5 -- /dev/sda9 is mounted over it on the same point'16:43
ubot2Launchpad bug 980676 in ubiquity "during installation a not involved partition was mounted and could not be unmounted. Installation was cut down." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/98067616:43
bdmurrayI've found a few duplicates of it and it seems to be an issue with migration-assistant and multiple users16:58
jibelcjwatson, I can't even start Ubiquity from a live session with 512MB of RAM. Ubiquity stops immediately with 'Cannot allocate memory'17:01
cjwatsonI do that every day17:02
cjwatsonmy finger-macros for starting virtual machines involve 'kvm -monitor stdio -m 512'17:03
cjwatsonand I normally boot into a live session and start ubiquity from there17:03
cjwatsonif it were failing all the time in 512M I'd have killed that long ago ...17:06
bdmurrayis compiz running during the live session?17:06
cjwatsonoh, granted, in VMs that'd be 2D17:07
cjwatsonI can't do much about compiz being fat though :)17:07
jibelno, metacity but I had a terminal open, if I close it, it starts17:07
cjwatsonI usually start it from a terminal, too17:07
jibelI was running amd64 and compared to i386. memory footprint is a magnitude lower on i38617:17
cjwatsonah, I do normally use i386.  will there actually be many amd64 users with only 512MB, mind you?17:20
infinitySeems like an odd configuration, but I'm sure it's happened.17:25
jibelmaybe not 512MB but 1GB ?17:26
cjwatsonIt just doesn't sound like it's the installer itself chewing all that memory17:27
cjwatsonI mean as opposed to desktop infrastructure (for startup) or webkit (in the slideshow case)17:29
cjwatsonanyway, won't be able to look properly until next week, it's Friday evening and I still have a bug to fix17:29
jibelnp, it's Friday evening here too :)17:30
cjwatsonof course running in debug mode eats memory too17:31
cjwatsondepending on how big the syslog gets17:31
cjwatsonit's not very optimised for concision :)17:31
cjwatsonthough I guess looking at this it isn't actually all that big, sub-MB17:38
cjwatsonwe could change the webkit cache model; that might help18:16
cjwatsonthough I don't see how it would account for the vast increase on amd6418:17
CIA-32ubiquity: cjwatson * r5377 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/install_misc.py):18:27
CIA-32ubiquity: Fix download verification to handle epochs correctly, and add a little18:27
CIA-32ubiquity: more logging so that we can debug any further errors along these lines.18:27
