[08:53] <babyface> I met the following error during install quantal server desktop iso:

[08:53] <babyface> anybody know what's wrong?
[08:54] <babyface> build no: 20120816
[08:58] <xnox> what 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?
[08:59] <xnox> according to jenkings https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/
[08:59] <xnox> 20120816 server default install is borked currently
[08:59] <babyface> xnox, quantal-server-amd64.iso
[08:59] <xnox> try 20120815
[08:59] <xnox> https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/ISO%20Testing%20Dashboard/job/quantal-server-amd64_default/
[09:00] <xnox> as that was the last green one
[09:00] <babyface> xnox, yes, I just got the log from the test in jenkins
[09:01] <babyface> xnox, 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 cause
[09:01] <babyface> xnox, do you have any idea on it?
[09:03] <xnox> I 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] <xnox> I mostly work with ubiquity and partman
[09:04] <babyface> xnox, ok, anyway thank you!
[10:08] <mpt> xnox, hi, how is the Luks, LVM, and Raid going?
[10:08] <mpt> I'm just about to look through your album
[10:08] <xnox> mpt: "album".... it only has two pictures =)
[10:09] <mpt> xnox, is it After and Before? Or is it two different states in the same revision?
[10:09] <xnox> mpt: before = all code as it is in quantal
[10:09] <xnox> mpt: after = is what I am about to deploy
[10:09] <mpt> xnox, I meant the two pictures in the album.
[10:10] <xnox> so i ran old/new ubiquity and got to the ask page in both.
[10:10] <mpt> So they are After and Before states, ok.
[10:10] <xnox> and then quit.
[10:11] <xnox> mpt: right after I upload the correct before image...
[10:11] <mpt> xnox, 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?
[10:12] <xnox> mpt: please refresh
[10:12] <xnox> mpt: that is a very good question. My guess is that we are using two sets of metadata. On the CD it is labelled simply 12.10
[10:12] <mpt> done
[10:13] <xnox> yet the on disk OS variables are "quatanl (development version)"
[10:13]  * xnox with quantal spelled correctly ;-)
[10:13] <xnox> I did file a bug about it.
[10:14] <xnox> But for "quantal 20120816" and "quantal (development version) on disk" shall we offer "upgrade to" or reinstall?
[10:14] <xnox> cause it's hard to know if the on-disk is ahead or behind the daily ISO
[10:14] <xnox> mpt: notice that the before2 image (the just upload) was run directly from the greeting + pressing install
[10:15] <xnox> and it has ugly pictures on the buttons
[10:15] <xnox> also is it me or the fonts look slightly different between the two
[10:16] <mpt> The Before shot isn't using the Ubuntu font, either
[10:18] <xnox> gotcha. So it looks like the "install straight away" is lacking user profile in the enviroment (wrong gtk/fonts profiles)
[10:20] <xnox> I will reinstall a VM with precise on it.
[10:21] <xnox> Then run old/new installer in "Desktop modes"
[10:21] <xnox> and old in "install mode"
[10:21] <xnox> (i will be able to run the new one in "install mode" after CDs are republished)
[10:22] <xnox> then it should give better before & after shots
[10:26] <mpt> Eh, I don't really need to see a Before shot with the exact fonts.
[10:26] <mpt> Anyway, that's the easy screen. The new ones are the hard ones. ;-)
[10:31] <xnox> ok
[10:39] <cjwatson> babyface: live-installer/net-image> see http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/08/03/%23ubuntu-installer.html where I explained to brendand how to fix this
[12:35] <xnox> ev: 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?
[12:36] <xnox> cause I did a new grid and the same trick somehow is not working =)
[12:57] <ev> xnox: 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 text
[12:59] <xnox> ev: this high-level explanation is great. thanks!
[12:59] <ev> sure thing
[15:05] <xnox> ev: I went to #gtk+ and after fiddling with gtkgrid and fill/expand what not the suggestion arrived
[15:05] <xnox> replace that whole thing with GtkNotebook
[15:05] <xnox> hide the frame and tabs
[15:05] <xnox> flick through GtkNotebook pages as needed
[15:05] <xnox> this will
[15:06] <xnox> * let gtk know exact maximum size of that column
[15:06] <xnox> * cache all the translations
[15:06] <xnox> first page is empty, the others have labels
[15:07] <ev> xnox: I'm confused
[15:07] <ev> flip through the notebook pages when?
[15:07] <ev> we definitely don't want to separate each item on that page into a whole new page
[15:07] <xnox> empty page -> page with "Fair Password" in that cell of the grid
[15:08] <xnox> the notebook is just in that tiny little cell
[15:08] <ev> ohhhh
[15:08] <ev> right
[15:08] <ev> that makes perfect sense
[15:08] <xnox> but without tabs nor borders ;-)
[15:08] <ev> indeed
[15:08] <ev> yes, do that :)
[15:08] <ev> wonderful
[15:08] <xnox> and you get centering per language, cause you know how long it will be in translated language =)
[15:08] <ev> oh course, some of the errors are hideously wrong
[15:09] <ev> hideously long*
[15:09] <ev> so it might not work
[15:09] <xnox> naturally =)
[15:09] <ev> but it's worth a shot
[15:09] <xnox> I'd like an automated video of all ubiquity screens in all languages =)
[15:09]  * xnox will watch before going to sleep
[15:09]  * xnox ... or when i am in a mad house
[15:11] <ev> writing the code for that might put you in a mad house
[15:11]  * ev ponders if he can have people committed for interesting coding endeavours
[15:12] <ev> oh, you wrote that in nodejs and mongodb? Just stand there one minute while I call the authorities.
