[12:18] <cjwatson> not 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 surprising
[12:19] <cjwatson> ev: 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] <cjwatson> ev: also, have you tried using unetbootin with a current daily build?  we might as well make sure that works

[15:17] <cjwatson> ok, cool
[15:19] <ev> 922949> nice
[15:22] <ev> I 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 encountered
[15:23] <ev> but I can have a look

[15:39] <stgraber> bdmurray: it should yeah, at the very least it's worth getting it re-tested with the new gstreamer
[15:40] <stgraber> bdmurray: 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 though
[15:40] <stgraber> but the reason for that is in the same part of the code I reverted yesterday, so getting it tested again sounds like a good idea

[16:43] <bdmurray> bug 980676 has an interesting error - 'umount: cannot unmount /dev/sda5 -- /dev/sda9 is mounted over it on the same point'

[16:58] <bdmurray> I've found a few duplicates of it and it seems to be an issue with migration-assistant and multiple users
[17:01] <jibel> cjwatson, I can't even start Ubiquity from a live session with 512MB of RAM. Ubiquity stops immediately with 'Cannot allocate memory'
[17:02] <cjwatson> I do that every day
[17:03] <cjwatson> my finger-macros for starting virtual machines involve 'kvm -monitor stdio -m 512'
[17:03] <cjwatson> and I normally boot into a live session and start ubiquity from there
[17:06] <cjwatson> if it were failing all the time in 512M I'd have killed that long ago ...
[17:06] <bdmurray> is compiz running during the live session?
[17:07] <cjwatson> oh, granted, in VMs that'd be 2D
[17:07] <cjwatson> I can't do much about compiz being fat though :)
[17:07] <jibel> no, metacity but I had a terminal open, if I close it, it starts
[17:07] <cjwatson> I usually start it from a terminal, too
[17:17] <jibel> I was running amd64 and compared to i386. memory footprint is a magnitude lower on i386
[17:20] <cjwatson> ah, I do normally use i386.  will there actually be many amd64 users with only 512MB, mind you?
[17:25] <infinity> Seems like an odd configuration, but I'm sure it's happened.
[17:26] <jibel> maybe not 512MB but 1GB ?
[17:27] <cjwatson> It just doesn't sound like it's the installer itself chewing all that memory
[17:29] <cjwatson> I mean as opposed to desktop infrastructure (for startup) or webkit (in the slideshow case)
[17:29] <cjwatson> anyway, won't be able to look properly until next week, it's Friday evening and I still have a bug to fix
[17:30] <jibel> np, it's Friday evening here too :)
[17:31] <cjwatson> of course running in debug mode eats memory too
[17:31] <cjwatson> depending on how big the syslog gets
[17:31] <cjwatson> it's not very optimised for concision :)
[17:38] <cjwatson> though I guess looking at this it isn't actually all that big, sub-MB
[18:16] <cjwatson> we could change the webkit cache model; that might help
[18:17] <cjwatson> though I don't see how it would account for the vast increase on amd64
