[09:50] <knome> madnick, heh, np
[16:07] <bluesabre> I don't know if any of you use Quickly, but there's a "Quickly Reboot" hangout happening now...  http://developer.ubuntu.com/community/on-air/
[16:08] <bluesabre> Also, on #quickly
[18:56] <kalxas> hi pleia2 :)
[18:57] <pleia2> hey kalxas, I didn't get very far with testing last night but I see you've made some progress
[18:59] <kalxas> yes, I managed to install with success. The problem seems to be the user account I create during chroot (in order to trick the installer script to create some postgres data). After removing this user (or creating different username in installation) I can sign in the installed system
[19:00] <kalxas> thanks for taking the time to test :)
[19:00] <pleia2> sure, I've never actually done a respin before so it's been fun, even if not very helpful ;)
[19:01] <kalxas> yes that help me understand debian/ubuntu systems better
[19:01]  * kalxas is openSUSE member
[19:02] <pleia2> my actual job is debian sysadmin, but we tend to use pretty vanilla base debian installs with our packages deployed after install
[19:03] <pleia2> (makes our deployments much more portable for things like virtual machines we don't control, like linodes)
[19:03] <kalxas> I guess this kind of respin could help you deploy faster
[19:03] <pleia2> yeah, it has got me thinking
[19:04] <kalxas> before getting involved with osgeolive I was using susestudio for this kind of stuff
[19:05] <kalxas> it is very useful to create custom disks, I hand out such custom disks to my students with class related material 
[19:05]  * pleia2 nods
[19:06] <kalxas> so I don't hear excuses like "it did not work on my pc" :D
[19:09] <kalxas> I am now trying to figure out why remastersys blocks mounting /run 
[19:09] <kalxas> the remastersys developer says that I customized lightdm, which I did not do...
[19:10] <pleia2> hrm
[19:10] <kalxas> I would definitely need some lightdm guru's opinion on that
[19:11] <kalxas> he also told me that he used xubuntu 12.04 for his initial testing of remastersys 3.0.x
[19:12]  * kalxas is stuck on this issue
[19:13] <pleia2> remastersys is the alternate method you were using previously, right?
[19:13] <kalxas> ye
[19:13] <kalxas> yes
[19:14] <kalxas> I had planned to switch to this chroot method for OSGeoLive 6.5 and stay to remastersys for 6.0
[19:14] <kalxas> and I have a 6.0 release in 7 days
[19:15]  * pleia2 nods
[19:15] <kalxas> so it is not a good time to switch methods...
[19:15] <pleia2> yeah
[19:16] <kalxas> there are over 50 geospatial application by the OSGeo foundation in it and all need testing if I change method
[19:17] <kalxas> it will bring me back to beta1 stage
[19:18] <kalxas> pleia2, thanks for listening to my problems :)
[19:26] <pleia2> sure :)
[21:30] <kalxas> pleia2, since this remastersys issue seems to be lightdm related, could I easily change to gdm?
[22:33] <pleia2> kalxas: as I understand it, the switch from gdm to lightdm was a pretty big deal, so I don't think it would be easy
[22:42] <kalxas> basically I did an "apt-get install gdm" and I got a question if gdm should be the default manager
[22:42] <kalxas> so I selected gdm and now I am doing a new build to see if that works.
[22:42] <pleia2> ah, I guess we'll see :)
[22:42] <kalxas> yes :)
[22:43] <kalxas> if it does not I will have to send out an e-mail to 50 projects to redo their tests 
[22:43] <kalxas> on the chroot iso
