xnoxwhat is the full image name? I am confused what is a 'quantal server desktop iso' =) is it a desktop or a server iso? or did you try to install desktop task using server iso?08:58
xnoxaccording to jenkings https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/08:59
xnox20120816 server default install is borked currently08:59
babyfacexnox, quantal-server-amd64.iso08:59
xnoxtry 2012081508:59
xnoxhttps://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/job/quantal-server-amd64_default/08:59
xnoxas that was the last green one09:00
babyfacexnox, yes, I just got the log from the test in jenkins09:00
babyfacexnox, you know, I'm watching all the automated test on quantal and precise, and test on quantal server failed with the error I just posted, but I dont know the root cause09:01
babyfacexnox, do you have any idea on it?09:01
xnoxI am sorry, but i am not sure what's going on here. live-installer is one of the d-i components, but I haven't touched it yet.09:03
xnoxI mostly work with ubiquity and partman09:03
babyfacexnox, ok, anyway thank you!09:04
mptxnox, hi, how is the Luks, LVM, and Raid going?10:08
mptI'm just about to look through your album10:08
xnoxmpt: "album".... it only has two pictures =)10:08
mptxnox, is it After and Before? Or is it two different states in the same revision?10:09
xnoxmpt: before = all code as it is in quantal10:09
xnoxmpt: after = is what I am about to deploy10:09
mptxnox, I meant the two pictures in the album.10:09
xnoxso i ran old/new ubiquity and got to the ask page in both.10:10
mptSo they are After and Before states, ok.10:10
xnoxand then quit.10:10
xnoxmpt: right after I upload the correct before image...10:11
mptxnox, how is it that the installer can tell the OS on disk is "quantal" and not 12.10 final, but can't tell that the installation image isn't "12.10" final?10:11
xnoxmpt: please refresh10:12
xnoxmpt: that is a very good question. My guess is that we are using two sets of metadata. On the CD it is labelled simply 12.1010:12
mptdone10:12
xnoxyet the on disk OS variables are "quatanl (development version)"10:13
* xnox with quantal spelled correctly ;-)10:13
xnoxI did file a bug about it.10:13
xnoxBut for "quantal 20120816" and "quantal (development version) on disk" shall we offer "upgrade to" or reinstall?10:14
xnoxcause it's hard to know if the on-disk is ahead or behind the daily ISO10:14
xnoxmpt: notice that the before2 image (the just upload) was run directly from the greeting + pressing install10:14
xnoxand it has ugly pictures on the buttons10:15
xnoxalso is it me or the fonts look slightly different between the two10:15
mptThe Before shot isn't using the Ubuntu font, either10:16
xnoxgotcha. So it looks like the "install straight away" is lacking user profile in the enviroment (wrong gtk/fonts profiles)10:18
xnoxI will reinstall a VM with precise on it.10:20
xnoxThen run old/new installer in "Desktop modes"10:21
xnoxand old in "install mode"10:21
xnox(i will be able to run the new one in "install mode" after CDs are republished)10:21
xnoxthen it should give better before & after shots10:22
mptEh, I don't really need to see a Before shot with the exact fonts.10:26
mptAnyway, that's the easy screen. The new ones are the hard ones. ;-)10:26
xnoxok10:31
cjwatsonbabyface: live-installer/net-image> see http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/08/03/%23ubuntu-installer.html where I explained to brendand how to fix this10:39
xnoxev: do you have time to explain the trick you did in the user setup form to "fix" the form, i.e. stop it from jiggling left/right, when the validation labels / ticks appear and disappear?12:35
xnoxcause I did a new grid and the same trick somehow is not working =)12:36
evxnox: I can't precisely recall. I think it was something like make a size request for the ticks and labels as if they were showing with some modestly-sized text12:57
xnoxev: this high-level explanation is great. thanks!12:59
evsure thing12:59
xnoxev: I went to #gtk+ and after fiddling with gtkgrid and fill/expand what not the suggestion arrived15:05
xnoxreplace that whole thing with GtkNotebook15:05
xnoxhide the frame and tabs15:05
xnoxflick through GtkNotebook pages as needed15:05
xnoxthis will15:05
xnox* let gtk know exact maximum size of that column15:06
xnox* cache all the translations15:06
xnoxfirst page is empty, the others have labels15:06
evxnox: I'm confused15:07
evflip through the notebook pages when?15:07
evwe definitely don't want to separate each item on that page into a whole new page15:07
xnoxempty page -> page with "Fair Password" in that cell of the grid15:07
xnoxthe notebook is just in that tiny little cell15:08
evohhhh15:08
evright15:08
evthat makes perfect sense15:08
xnoxbut without tabs nor borders ;-)15:08
evindeed15:08
evyes, do that :)15:08
evwonderful15:08
xnoxand you get centering per language, cause you know how long it will be in translated language =)15:08
evoh course, some of the errors are hideously wrong15:08
evhideously long*15:09
evso it might not work15:09
xnoxnaturally =)15:09
evbut it's worth a shot15:09
xnoxI'd like an automated video of all ubiquity screens in all languages =)15:09
* xnox will watch before going to sleep15:09
* xnox ... or when i am in a mad house15:09
evwriting the code for that might put you in a mad house15:11
* ev ponders if he can have people committed for interesting coding endeavours15:11
evoh, you wrote that in nodejs and mongodb? Just stand there one minute while I call the authorities.15:12
