mpt | xnox, hi, how is the LVM going? | 10:42 |
xnox | mpt: hello. working on it. implementing backend bits. I don't have anything to show which matches your spec yet. | 10:42 |
mpt | xnox, ok, just making sure you aren't blocked on anything. I'm continuing on LUKS design today. | 10:43 |
xnox | mpt: ok. thank you. Have fun with LUKS =) poke me if you need anything | 10:43 |
mpt | xnox, can you choose any filesystem (e.g. ext4, btrfs) for a LUKS device? | 11:54 |
xnox | mpt: yes. as well as lvm & raid to be on top of LUKS device. | 11:55 |
xnox | mpt: btw I have found out that it is actually possible to use an lvm logical volume as a real disk with partition table, mbr, bootloader installation etc. but this should not be offered in the UI. This type of stuff is used by e.g. VirtualMachineManager as a backend for hard disks. | 11:57 |
xnox | just a point of interest really | 11:57 |
mpt | xnox, those "Create Partition" and "Edit Partition" dialogs have the sort of weird spacing I usually see in windows that haven't been ported from GTK2 to GTK3 | 11:58 |
cjwatson | Yeah, I got partway through porting everything to GtkGrid but never finished | 11:59 |
xnox | plus the two of them are 'a bit funny' as to how many columns should be used & which things should be aligned together. | 12:00 |
xnox | cjwatson: so GtkBox should be killed everywhere in favor of GtkGrid? | 12:00 |
=== davmor2_ is now known as davmor2 | ||
cjwatson | Yeah, just be careful. There's a porting guide somewhere. It's slightly easy to get expand/fill handling wrong | 12:01 |
cjwatson | But the payoff is height-for-width support everywhere (to make that work in widgets, especially labels, you have to make sure that all the containers support it) | 12:02 |
cjwatson | e.g. I have a bzr shelf labelled "failed attempt at a GtkGrid port of webcam for bug 961025" which is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1064155/ | 12:04 |
ubot2 | Launchpad bug 961025 in ubiquity "ubi-webcam: Pictures listed on 1 column" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/961025 | 12:04 |
cjwatson | I think I already ported away from the deprecated [HV]Box widgets, which is the first step | 12:06 |
xnox | ok | 12:27 |
xnox | cjwatson: --pdb rightfully does nothing =) | 12:28 |
xnox | ?! | 12:28 |
xnox | unless i'm failing to run it interactively | 12:31 |
xnox | nevermind | 12:33 |
soren | I'm helping a colleague with some grub-installer stuff, and I stumbled upon http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/grub-installer/master/view/head:/grub-installer#L525 | 14:04 |
soren | I'm a bit confused by it. | 14:04 |
soren | The comment above says it's supposed to avoid things like "(hd0)" and rather try to get something like a stable by-id link. | 14:05 |
soren | Line 523 does exactly that (yields a by-id link) | 14:05 |
soren | Line 525 turns that back into a /dev/sda sort of device name, which is only marginally better than "(hd0)". | 14:05 |
soren | Why not stick with the by-id name? | 14:05 |
