| jibel | xnox, I filed bug 1046167, bug 1046168 and bug 1046175 this morning | 07:23 |
|---|---|---|
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1046167 in ubiquity "Cannot use manual partitioner if an LVM partition already exists" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1046167 | 07:23 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1046168 in ubiquity "Manual partitioner: Removing an existing LVM partition fails with exit status 141" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1046168 | 07:23 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1046175 in ubiquity "[regression] Manual partitioner only creates primary partitions" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1046175 | 07:23 |
| jibel | xnox, the first 2 bugs can be release noted IMO since it affects systems with an existing LVM and if someone wants to wipe his existing installation there is a command line workaround | 07:24 |
| jibel | xnox, but I'm wondering about the 3rd one as it severely limits the capacity of the manual partitioner | 07:25 |
| cjwatson | Yikes | 07:26 |
| cjwatson | Though I'm not sure we've ever actually complied with the part of the UX specification you quote | 07:27 |
| cjwatson | Fairly sure it's just been an option you get to select ... | 07:27 |
| cjwatson | But I haven't looked at xnox's refactoring of the manual partitioner at all really | 07:28 |
| jibel | There was radio buttons to select between primary or logical at the top of dialog to enter details of the partition in Quantal Alpha3 | 07:30 |
| xnox | yeah. there are there. But we try to predict if debian-installer will ask about them or not. | 08:19 |
| xnox | I will look into it jibel . | 08:19 |
| xnox | the LVM stuff.... there were not meant to show up in the manual partitioning, as you can't do anything with them. | 08:19 |
| xnox | and well. You really can't do anything with them right now =) | 08:20 |
| xnox | so yes, it will need to be release noted. | 08:20 |
| jibel | xnox, the point is that the manual partitioner is useless when there are existing LVM partitions | 08:20 |
| jibel | xnox, the user cannot even reset the partition table | 08:20 |
| xnox | true, it didn't land yet. | 08:22 |

| CIA-11 | ubiquity: it (LP: #1046175). | 11:11 |

| CIA-11 | ubiquity: dmitrij.ledkov * r5628 trunk/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.11.30 | 13:49 |
| jibel | xnox, I attached a first pdf to 1046323 with screenshots to illustrate the installation of Quantal with 2 disks and existing Ubuntu installation, with 'Entire Disk', 'Entire disk' + LVM, 'Entire disk + LUKS' | 14:34 |
| jibel | now trying with Windows on first disk and a fresh disk on drive b | 14:34 |
| xnox | jibel: amazing. thank you. I will read it in a bit. I am on a call & meeting now. | 14:34 |
| jibel | np | 14:34 |
| xnox | jibel: thank you a lot for testing all of this! | 14:35 |
| jibel | windows or not, fresh disk or not the situation is the same, no side-by-side option and ubuntu is installed to sda if luks is selected while the installer asks for the target drive is other cases. | 14:49 |
| jibel | xnox, I attached the result for windows + fresh disk. | 15:01 |
| * cjwatson realises ubiquity is running into http://en.chys.info/2011/11/a-problem-with-pipes-in-python-3/ | 17:09 | |
| * xnox :`( | 17:15 | |
| cjwatson | Ah, a decent solution is bufsize=4096 I think | 17:17 |
| CIA-11 | ubiquity: cjwatson * r5629 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/i18n.py): | 17:27 |
| CIA-11 | ubiquity: Buffer reads from debconf-copydb. Python 3 defaults to unbuffered reads | 17:27 |
| CIA-11 | ubiquity: from byte streams, which is much slower. | 17:27 |
