[10:18] <xnox> ev: windows8 Release Preview is available free to download, and wubi has a regression
[10:18] <xnox> bug 1042159
[10:18] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1042159 in wubi "[regression since 12.04] wubi won't boot when Windows8 is hibernated (default)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1042159
[10:19] <ev> ugh!
[11:40] <xnox> ev: the interesting bit is that "11.10/11.04" supposedly "works" with windows8.... but now?! ntfs-3g wiping hibernate file?
[11:40] <xnox> ev: btw I did download Windows 8 RP, wondering how it will act up with os-prober & ubiquity
[11:41] <ev> xnox: because the version of ntfs-3g in 11.10 probably happily ignores the hibernated system and mounts anyway
[11:42] <xnox> ev: and it's not like anything useful is available in the hibernate state, e.g. unsaved apps/games/etc
[11:42] <xnox> ev: but it looks like win8 now defaults to hibernation =/
[11:42] <xnox> ev: should wubi disable hibernation?
[11:43] <ev> xnox: it probably does suspend plus hibernation for the sleep state
[11:44] <ev> or are you suggesting that it replaces power off with hibernation?
[11:46] <xnox> ev: one of the features is "Hybrid Boot will use hibernation technology to allow faster startup times by saving the Windows core's memory to the hard disk and reloading it upon boot."
[11:46] <xnox> usb-creator rip-off =) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_To_Go
[11:48] <ev> :)
[11:48] <ev> xnox: sure, but that just sounds like hybrid suspend
[11:49] <ev> if they're hibernating on shutdown instead of just a regular power off, then the problem is a bit more tricky
[13:32] <ogra_> xnox, someone shoudl put usb-creator in the references (so MS cant patent it because prior-art is already listed ;) )
[13:33] <xnox> ogra_: I am sure there were emacs pre-compiled bootable flopies in the 90s does that count as "fully featured OS on removal storage"?
[13:33] <xnox> s/removal/removable/
[13:34] <ogra_> it does, but not for "portable USB install"
[13:34] <ogra_> :)
[13:35]  * xnox is off to publish usb-creator with emacs preinstalled booting into full-screen mode like ubiquity
[13:35] <ogra_> haha
[20:37] <dylan-m> Hey, I think I need to give various people a nudge about my merge requests at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-defaults-builder/+bug/1035806. Should I start a thread on a mailing list somewhere? :)
