mptxnox, hi, how is the LVM going?10:42
xnoxmpt: hello. working on it. implementing backend bits. I don't have anything to show which matches your spec yet.10:42
mptxnox, ok, just making sure you aren't blocked on anything. I'm continuing on LUKS design today.10:43
xnoxmpt: ok. thank you. Have fun with LUKS =) poke me if you need anything10:43
mptxnox, can you choose any filesystem (e.g. ext4, btrfs) for a LUKS device?11:54
xnoxmpt: yes. as well as lvm & raid to be on top of LUKS device.11:55
xnoxmpt: 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
xnoxjust a point of interest really11:57
mptxnox, 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 GTK311:58
cjwatsonYeah, I got partway through porting everything to GtkGrid but never finished11:59
xnoxplus the two of them are 'a bit funny' as to how many columns should be used & which things should be aligned together.12:00
xnoxcjwatson: so GtkBox should be killed everywhere in favor of GtkGrid?12:00
=== davmor2_ is now known as davmor2
cjwatsonYeah, just be careful.  There's a porting guide somewhere.  It's slightly easy to get expand/fill handling wrong12:01
cjwatsonBut 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
cjwatsone.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
ubot2Launchpad bug 961025 in ubiquity "ubi-webcam: Pictures listed on 1 column" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96102512:04
cjwatsonI think I already ported away from the deprecated [HV]Box widgets, which is the first step12:06
xnoxok12:27
xnoxcjwatson: --pdb rightfully does nothing =)12:28
xnox?!12:28
xnoxunless i'm failing to run it interactively12:31
xnoxnevermind12:33
sorenI'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#L52514:04
sorenI'm a bit confused by it.14:04
sorenThe 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
sorenLine 523 does exactly that (yields a by-id link)14:05
sorenLine 525 turns that back into a /dev/sda sort of device name, which is only marginally better than "(hd0)".14:05
sorenWhy not stick with the by-id name?14:05
