| cjwatson | ogra_: I think I see how to fix bug 1028905 (at least by filtering out extended partitions in list-devices as you suggest, never mind the issue of mount hanging) - are you already on it? | 09:19 |
|---|---|---|
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1028905 in cdrom-detect "cdrom-detect in quantal omap4 hangs trying to look for install media on an extended partition" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1028905 | 09:19 |
| cjwatson | I've at least reassigned that to debian-installer-utils, which seems closer to a proper place | 09:20 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson, i was on it on and off butu was rather trying to hunt down the root cause with mount instead of just filtering, i can implement some filtering i guess | 09:21 |
| cjwatson | if you'd rather hunt down the root cause, I don't object :) | 09:21 |
| cjwatson | just looking for quick ways to kill -tracking bugs I guess | 09:21 |
| cjwatson | one reason to filter is that anything which implements tests such as "does list-devices partition return anything" shouldn't consider extended partitions | 09:22 |
| cjwatson | probably | 09:22 |
| * cjwatson goes to look at users | 09:22 | |
| ogra_ | well, i'll add a filter first then and open a task against mount we can leave open | 09:22 |
| cjwatson | make sure either that that task isn't targeted to quantal, or that it's a separate bug | 09:25 |
| cjwatson | since I don't think we want to *commit* to it for 12.10 | 09:25 |
| cjwatson | right, I just checked all the users of list-devices *partition in upstream d-i | 09:25 |
| cjwatson | all of them are looking for something they can mount | 09:26 |
| cjwatson | so I'm pretty convinced it's correct to filter | 09:26 |
| cjwatson | this contributes slightly to bug 613510 | 09:26 |

| ogra_ | oh, nice | 09:27 |
| pjotr | cjwatson: I'd like to request your attention for a bug in Ubiquity in Quantal, that causes confusion: | 10:52 |
| pjotr | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1057452 | 10:52 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1057452 in ubiquity "[Quantal] Ubiquity creates confusion about which part of the disk space will go to Ubuntu" [Undecided,New] | 10:52 |
| pjotr | Can this be helped in time for Quantal final edition? | 10:53 |
| xnox | pjotr: that's a duplicate. | 10:55 |
| xnox | of bug 947107 | 10:55 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 947107 in ubiquity "No partition labels in the resize widgets" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/947107 | 10:55 |
| xnox | I did some poking at it, and it's something nasty in gkt/cairo stack. I can get the resize widget to correct display: either space labels or the logo/titles. | 10:57 |
| xnox | but not both =/ | 10:57 |
| pjotr | xnox: OK.... Well, maybe a provisional solution could be, that the explanatory text *above* the widgets, would mention clearly that the space *on the right side* will be the Ubuntu space. | 10:59 |
| pjotr | What do you think? | 10:59 |
| xnox | I think the bug needs to be fixed. Because the intended layout that is set is: | 10:59 |
| xnox | Logo (windows/ubuntu/other image), device (/dev/sda1), name (Ubuntu 12.04 / Windows 7) and then the size of the partition. | 11:00 |
| xnox | but some changes in gtk stack prevent displaying it correctly for some reason. | 11:00 |
| xnox | there is another bug open, that it is not accessible. | 11:01 |
| xnox | But i'm not sure which widgets to use to get a11y & screenreader to pick the changes up. | 11:01 |
| pjotr | xnox: the current text above the widgets is: "Allocate drive space by dragging the divider below:" | 11:02 |
| pjotr | maybe this could become: "Allocate drive space by dragging the divider below (Ubuntu is on the right):" | 11:02 |
| pjotr | What do you think? | 11:03 |
| xnox | pjotr: I don't deal with desing / user experience =))) Please read ubiquity design specification. http://goo.gl/Kokw5 And if you feel that needs changing, please open a separate bug with 'needs-design' tag. | 11:04 |
| pjotr | xnox: OK.... Do you have a name for me, of a developer who I can contact on that? | 11:07 |
| xnox | mpt is the current maintainer of the ubiquity design | 11:08 |
| mpt | pjotr, changing a string would break translations, and it is very late in the release cycle. | 11:09 |
| mpt | to do that. | 11:09 |
| pjotr | mpt: I know, I'm a member of the Dutch translation team myself... :-) | 11:10 |
| pjotr | nevertheless, I think this is pretty important | 11:10 |
| pjotr | creates confusion for beginners | 11:11 |
| mpt | yes, it is | 11:11 |
| pjotr | I can guarantee a full Dutch translation if the text string would be changed.... :P | 11:12 |
| mpt | xnox, I've found that it's unhelpful for bugs to be assigned to teams, because it gives the illusion of responsibility. Does the Canonical Foundations Team have a process for allocating bugs like 947107? | 11:13 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230214/ how about something like that ? | 11:14 |
| ogra_ | (not sure if we need to match other exotic extended partitions) | 11:15 |
| cjwatson | mpt: No | 11:15 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: egrep -q '^ID_PART_ENTRY_TYPE=0x(5|f|85)' | 11:15 |
| cjwatson | to match libparted | 11:15 |
| ogra_ | ok | 11:15 |
| cjwatson | and how about 'if $match && ! device_info ...' | 11:15 |
| ogra_ | moving it into the outer "if" ? | 11:16 |
| ogra_ | k | 11:16 |
| cjwatson | yeah, I think | 11:17 |

| xnox | mpt: well, it is part of the quantal release tracking bugs and it's as best as it gets. I did spend time on it, but it's not fixed yet.... =/ | 11:23 |
| cjwatson | Can anyone else reproduce bug 1049215? It's a bit of a mystery to me, but it keeps showing up in ISO testing. | 14:04 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1049215 in ubiquity "ubiquity-bluetooth-agent crashed with ImportError in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py: could not import gobject (error was: EOFError('EOF read where not expected',))" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1049215 | 14:04 |
| xnox | cjwatson: hmm... I guess I should burn the CD and boot with bluetooth dongle.... | 14:05 |
| xnox | cjwatson: will try when I get home and find my bluetooth dongle.... | 14:05 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 14:05 |
| xnox | assigned to myself, such that I don't forget ;-) | 14:06 |
| cjwatson | ev: Could you build wubi r271 at some point? I did a translation update | 15:06 |
| ev | cjwatson: sure thing | 15:06 |
| ev | on it now | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | Ta | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | The Tibetan translators have been pretty keen | 15:07 |
| ev | cjwatson: I've pointed Peter M your way for a few netboot and installation guide questions | 15:07 |
| ev | just a heads up | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | OK | 15:07 |
| ogra_ | cjwatson, hmm bug 1032874 | 15:50 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1032874 in linux "Mount command on extended partition hangs forever during install" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1032874 | 15:50 |
| ogra_ | seems i'm not the only one :( | 15:51 |
| cjwatson | ogra_: Yeah, I think I've seen similar things before | 15:53 |
| cjwatson | But it's still right for the installer to avoid this anyway | 15:54 |
| cjwatson | Oh, and in fact your fix will avoid the bug as stated | 15:54 |
| ogra_ | indeed | 15:54 |
| cjwatson | I'll follow up to say that | 15:54 |
| ogra_ | but its disappointing to see it hasnt been actively researched ... and just magically disappeared | 15:55 |
| ogra_ | i.e. its likely something we miss on omap4 currently | 15:55 |
| xnox | cjwatson: how stable is the output of os-prober w.r.t. probing old releases? I'm debugging the re.subst in ubiquity and it seems wrong to me. | 15:55 |
| cjwatson | xnox: The general syntax should be stable; exact names maybe less so | 15:56 |
| cjwatson | Although I didn't think it was particularly unstable | 15:56 |
| xnox | cjwatson: ok. thanks. | 15:56 |
| xnox | cjwatson: I am running it against a few of my chroots and they are ok. Will get lucid chroot up, just in case it doesn't have what I want. | 15:57 |
| ev | cjwatson: new wubi is in place | 16:08 |
| cjwatson | thanks | 16:08 |
