| TheHumanScience | anybody here familiar with initramfs? So i was trying install 10.04 on a netbook and it got hung on 95% of the installation forever so like an impatient kid I yanked it out of the usb port. | 07:10 |
|---|---|---|
| TheHumanScience | how do i get the usb flash to install? | 07:10 |
| brendand | cjwatson - a while back you gave me a preseed key which you said might be necessary to make our preseeds work with the new server installer. do you have it handy? | 08:41 |
| cjwatson | It would have been something to do with live-installer/net-image | 08:41 |
| cjwatson | brendand: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/08/03/%23ubuntu-installer.html | 08:42 |
| brendand | cjwatson, does the positioning of the key particularly matter? | 08:51 |
| cjwatson | The order of entries in preseed files never matters. | 08:53 |
| cjwatson | It's setting a bunch of database rows, not executing a bunch of commands. | 08:53 |
| babyface | Failed to install quantal alternate iso, and I filed a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1039970 anybody has a look on it? | 09:09 |
| ubot2` | Ubuntu bug 1039970 in debian-installer "failed to install quantal alternate iso : xserver-xorg-video-all : Depends: xserver-xorg-video-modesetting but it is not installable" [Undecided,New] | 09:09 |
| cjwatson | babyface: it's not an installer bug when packages are uninstallable. | 09:14 |
| cjwatson | That's a package that needs to be moved to main. | 09:15 |
| cjwatson | Harass the X people instead :-) | 09:16 |

| xnox | ev: resize widget showing only one label.... | 09:54 |
| ev | xnox: weird | 10:01 |
| ev | I wonder what broke that | 10:01 |
| xnox | ev: z-order of the magical frame in gtk3? switch from VBox to simply Box? | 10:02 |
| jibel | xnox, bug 959486 | 10:03 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 959486 in ubiquity "install alongside doesn't show which partition is which" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/959486 | 10:03 |
| xnox | jibel: yeah, I am trying to fix it =) but ran out of options, so asking ev who hopefully knows more of that code =) | 10:03 |
| xnox | ev: the rest is acient. I did add/remove checkboxes. I also did change the logic such that it doesn't show that page if there is only one drive & it's simply fire and install. | 10:04 |
| xnox | ev: but it did show logo & text when it's simple use_disk. | 10:04 |
| ev | xnox: hard to say. I'd suggest instrumenting it to make sure the PartitionBoxes are getting a decent size in ResizeWidget's do_draw | 10:08 |
| ev | and that the image is actually getting set from the right path in PartitionBox | 10:08 |
| ev | xnox: you shouldn't need to go through all of the installer for this | 10:09 |
| ev | just write a small program to create a Gtk window, stuffing the resize widget in it and wire it up | 10:09 |
| xnox | ok. | 10:09 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson xnox ... anyone an opinion on bug 1037515 ? | 10:51 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1037515 in ubiquity "ubiquity-dm crashed with MissingProgramError in run(): No window manager found (tried metacity, xfwm4, matchbox-window-manager, openbox-lubuntu, openbox)" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1037515 | 10:51 |
| ogra_ | (would be good to get the installer working again soon) | 10:52 |
| cjwatson | For now, maybe we should explicitly depend on the WMs we support | 10:53 |
| * ogra_ isnt sure if metacity is unwanted completely or something | 10:53 | |
| cjwatson | For 12.10, I suspect we want to make it work with unity | 10:53 |
| ogra_ | that means we can drop arm | 10:53 |
| cjwatson | That's a desktop problem, not an installer problem | 10:53 |
| ogra_ | (unless the llvmpipe tests result in something positive which is very very unlikely) | 10:54 |
| cjwatson | If unity doesn't support arm, you aren't getting a working desktop on arm anyway | 10:54 |
| ogra_ | well, the current plan was to have ubiquity run in 2D and tick the third party drivers box automatically | 10:54 |
| ogra_ | so the desktop will have the necessary GLES bits but the installer doesnt need them | 10:55 |
| cjwatson | Look, I don't really want to have this discussion: how about you assume that when I say unity I mean "unity or whatever 2D bits are available" | 10:55 |
| ogra_ | the point is there are none and ubiquity-dm isnt a desktop thing imho | 10:56 |
| cjwatson | It kind of is if it's starting a desktop | 10:56 |
| cjwatson | Anyway I don't see why metacity can't remain as a fallback | 10:56 |
| ogra_ | k | 10:57 |
| cjwatson | I don't want to get into the desktop wars :) | 10:57 |
| ogra_ | haha | 10:57 |
| * ogra_ is in the middle of them | 10:57 | |
| ogra_ | right between the fronts :) | 10:58 |
| cjwatson | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1160599/ - how about that? | 10:59 |
| ogra_ | wow, thats a lot of WMs, but yeah, if it works | 11:00 |
| cjwatson | That's the set supported by ubiquity-dm | 11:01 |
| ogra_ | in the long term i think x-window-manager-gl would be a good idea though .... but more a debian thing | 11:01 |
| cjwatson | Sure, this is a stopgap to some extent | 11:01 |
| ogra_ | oh, how about compiz ? | 11:02 |
| ogra_ | if it works, you probably want it | 11:03 |
| ogra_ | not sure there is any fallback detection though | 11:03 |
| cjwatson | That would involve a change to ubiquity-dm too | 11:03 |
| cjwatson | I'm not keen to change more than necessary right now to get things working again | 11:03 |
| ogra_ | ah, so there is no autodetecttion, good then | 11:03 |
| * ogra_ thought we might just be hitting the fallback mechanism and break in that | 11:04 | |
| cjwatson | No, ubiquity-dm has a hardcoded list of WMs it knows about | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | So x-window-manager was basically bogus anyway | 11:04 |
| ogra_ | k | 11:04 |
| ogra_ | heh, yeah | 11:04 |
| cjwatson | Not that I'm saying this is good design, but ... | 11:04 |
| ogra_ | it works :) | 11:05 |
| cjwatson | Ish | 11:05 |
