[07:10] 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] how do i get the usb flash to install? [08:41] 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] It would have been something to do with live-installer/net-image [08:42] brendand: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/08/03/%23ubuntu-installer.html [08:51] cjwatson, does the positioning of the key particularly matter? [08:53] The order of entries in preseed files never matters. [08:53] It's setting a bunch of database rows, not executing a bunch of commands. [09:09] 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] 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] [09:14] babyface: it's not an installer bug when packages are uninstallable. [09:15] That's a package that needs to be moved to main. [09:16] Harass the X people instead :-) [09:54] ev: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/7fQxmUtg-r-5i23t6FM51urGEc56OROEzDhHMfso_OU?feat=directlink [09:54] ev: resize widget showing only one label.... [10:01] xnox: weird [10:01] I wonder what broke that [10:02] ev: z-order of the magical frame in gtk3? switch from VBox to simply Box? [10:03] xnox, bug 959486 [10:03] Launchpad bug 959486 in ubiquity "install alongside doesn't show which partition is which" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/959486 [10:03] jibel: yeah, I am trying to fix it =) but ran out of options, so asking ev who hopefully knows more of that code =) [10:04] 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] ev: but it did show logo & text when it's simple use_disk. [10:08] 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] and that the image is actually getting set from the right path in PartitionBox [10:09] xnox: you shouldn't need to go through all of the installer for this [10:09] just write a small program to create a Gtk window, stuffing the resize widget in it and wire it up [10:09] ok. [10:51] cjwatson xnox ... anyone an opinion on bug 1037515 ? [10:51] 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 [10:52] (would be good to get the installer working again soon) [10:53] 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] For 12.10, I suspect we want to make it work with unity [10:53] that means we can drop arm [10:53] That's a desktop problem, not an installer problem [10:54] (unless the llvmpipe tests result in something positive which is very very unlikely) [10:54] If unity doesn't support arm, you aren't getting a working desktop on arm anyway [10:54] well, the current plan was to have ubiquity run in 2D and tick the third party drivers box automatically [10:55] so the desktop will have the necessary GLES bits but the installer doesnt need them [10:55] 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" [10:56] the point is there are none and ubiquity-dm isnt a desktop thing imho [10:56] It kind of is if it's starting a desktop [10:56] Anyway I don't see why metacity can't remain as a fallback [10:57] k [10:57] I don't want to get into the desktop wars :) [10:57] haha [10:57] * ogra_ is in the middle of them [10:58] right between the fronts :) [10:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1160599/ - how about that? [11:00] wow, thats a lot of WMs, but yeah, if it works [11:01] That's the set supported by ubiquity-dm [11:01] in the long term i think x-window-manager-gl would be a good idea though .... but more a debian thing [11:01] Sure, this is a stopgap to some extent [11:02] oh, how about compiz ? [11:03] if it works, you probably want it [11:03] not sure there is any fallback detection though [11:03] That would involve a change to ubiquity-dm too [11:03] I'm not keen to change more than necessary right now to get things working again [11:03] ah, so there is no autodetecttion, good then [11:04] * ogra_ thought we might just be hitting the fallback mechanism and break in that [11:04] No, ubiquity-dm has a hardcoded list of WMs it knows about [11:04] So x-window-manager was basically bogus anyway [11:04] k [11:04] heh, yeah [11:04] Not that I'm saying this is good design, but ... [11:05] it works :) [11:05] Ish === jibel__ is now known as jibel === cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville === cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville === cm-t is now known as cm-t_ === kentb_ is now known as kentb === ogra__ is now known as ogra_ === CIA-13 is now known as 45PAAWDFM === 45PAAWDFM is now known as CIA-88 === jibel_ is now known as jibel === sivatharman_ is now known as psivaa
