[00:22] ubiquity: superm1 * r5528 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-timezone.py): [00:22] ubiquity: Don't let oem-config crash from an invalid server return on the timezone [00:22] ubiquity: page. [10:42] xnox, hi, how is the LVM going? [10:42] mpt: hello. working on it. implementing backend bits. I don't have anything to show which matches your spec yet. [10:43] xnox, ok, just making sure you aren't blocked on anything. I'm continuing on LUKS design today. [10:43] mpt: ok. thank you. Have fun with LUKS =) poke me if you need anything [11:54] xnox, can you choose any filesystem (e.g. ext4, btrfs) for a LUKS device? [11:55] mpt: yes. as well as lvm & raid to be on top of LUKS device. [11:57] 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] just a point of interest really [11:58] 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 [11:59] Yeah, I got partway through porting everything to GtkGrid but never finished [12:00] 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] cjwatson: so GtkBox should be killed everywhere in favor of GtkGrid? === davmor2_ is now known as davmor2 [12:01] Yeah, just be careful. There's a porting guide somewhere. It's slightly easy to get expand/fill handling wrong [12:02] 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) [12:04] 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] Launchpad bug 961025 in ubiquity "ubi-webcam: Pictures listed on 1 column" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/961025 [12:06] I think I already ported away from the deprecated [HV]Box widgets, which is the first step [12:27] ok [12:28] cjwatson: --pdb rightfully does nothing =) [12:28] ?! [12:31] unless i'm failing to run it interactively [12:33] nevermind [14:04] 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] I'm a bit confused by it. [14:05] 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] Line 523 does exactly that (yields a by-id link) [14:05] Line 525 turns that back into a /dev/sda sort of device name, which is only marginally better than "(hd0)". [14:05] Why not stick with the by-id name?
