[00:05] <ChaoticanarchyX> hi all
[00:05] <ChaoticanarchyX> can anyone help me out with installing something?
[00:09] <xnox> !ask
[00:09] <ubot2> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[00:10] <xnox> ChaoticanarchyX: plus this channel is in particular about installers used to install ubuntu on to target machine. There are more general support channels: #ubuntu and askubuntu.com

[11:49] <jbicha> for the Ubuntu GNOME Remix, we're including GNOME Shell *and* GNOME Classic for now using GDM
[11:49] <jbicha> if you log out of the live session (running GNOME Shell), the ubuntu user doesn't show up on the log in screen since it's uid is 999 which is less than 1000
[11:49] <cjwatson> Yep
[11:50] <cjwatson> That's necessary to avoid confusing the installer
[11:50] <jbicha> any way to fix this?
[11:50] <cjwatson> Make an exception for it in GDM
[11:50] <jbicha> there was a suggestion to add a "Try GNOME Classic" button to the ubiquity launch screen
[11:51] <cjwatson> I'd rather not have more desktop-specific paths in ubiquity than we have to
[11:52] <jbicha> it looked like gdm was just using /etc/login.defs to know what users to show on the login screen
[11:52] <cjwatson> We could tweak that in casper I suppose
[11:52] <jbicha> just for gdm then?
[11:53] <cjwatson> sed -i '/^[UG]ID_MIN/s/\<1000$/ 999/' /etc/login.defs
[11:53] <cjwatson> in casper
[11:53] <cjwatson> would that do the job?
[11:54] <cjwatson> That wouldn't propagate to the installed system (which is good)
[11:54] <jbicha> darkxst said that he tested doing that and it worked; I haven't tried it yet
[12:02] <darkxst> yes I tested that and its works
[12:02] <cjwatson> OK, so feel free to change casper for that
[12:03] <cjwatson> scripts/casper-bottom/25adduser I guess
[12:05] <darkxst> so there won't be any side effects if we patch login.defs with casper?
[12:05] <cjwatson> Hard to guarantee, but I believe that change should be safe
[12:06] <cjwatson> Not entirely sure it's beta-2-suitable
[12:11] <CIA-5> ubiquity: xnox * r5684 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-partman.py):
[12:11] <CIA-5> ubiquity: Do not offer to remove partitions nor create partition table on the
[12:11] <CIA-5> ubiquity: loop mounted devices. (LP: #1055640)
[12:13] <jbicha> darkxst: we don't need this feature for beta 2, right?
[12:15] <darkxst> no, after beta 2 would be fine
[13:08] <CIA-5> ubiquity: xnox * r5685 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-partman.py):
[13:08] <CIA-5> ubiquity: Skip locked partitions when rebuilding cache, in a similar way as
[13:08] <CIA-5> ubiquity: skipping free disk space, by sniffing locked file in the partman
[13:08] <CIA-5> ubiquity: device tree. (LP: #1055819)
[13:09] <xnox> cjwatson: ^^^ I have hooked into tidy_update_partitions in the same way as free space is skipped, this correctly avoids the locked error.
[13:10] <xnox> There are still additional files that we can sniff & add to the partition_cache and display in the table. E.g. type=crypto & "used as  physical volume for encrypted volume /dev/mapper/vda1_crypt"
[13:33] <cjwatson> xnox: looks good; maybe clear the cached locked flag in the else path to be on the safe side
[13:34] <xnox> ok.
