[10:42] <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.
[10:43] <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
[11:54] <mpt> xnox, can you choose any filesystem (e.g. ext4, btrfs) for a LUKS device?
[11:55] <xnox> mpt: yes. as well as lvm & raid to be on top of LUKS device.
[11:57] <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
[11:58] <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
[11:59] <cjwatson> Yeah, I got partway through porting everything to GtkGrid but never finished
[12:00] <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?
[12:01] <cjwatson> Yeah, just be careful.  There's a porting guide somewhere.  It's slightly easy to get expand/fill handling wrong
[12:02] <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)
[12:04] <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
[12:06] <cjwatson> I think I already ported away from the deprecated [HV]Box widgets, which is the first step
[12:27] <xnox> ok
[12:28] <xnox> cjwatson: --pdb rightfully does nothing =)
[12:28] <xnox> ?!
[12:31] <xnox> unless i'm failing to run it interactively
[12:33] <xnox> nevermind
[14:04] <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.
[14:05] <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?
