[19:41] Noskcaj, you mean the netboot stuff/ [19:41] ? [19:41] and the Vbox 4.2 bug [19:42] I didn't look at the vbox bug [19:42] what is it? [19:42] ohh that it won't launch vbox 4.2 [19:42] that's it right? [19:43] yep, there are many other bugs (inc. it not being litian clean) but those two will mess with my classroom session [19:45] Noskcaj, as I think was conversed a bit ago on IRC, I'm not sure testdrive is seeing active development [19:45] that said, I don't think the changes your asking for would be difficult (but who knows!? sometimes simple stuff is hard)... but who will do them? [19:46] let's go look [19:46] https://launchpad.net/testdrive [19:46] i know unit fixed the Vbox bug [19:47] i did get a response from the guys who make it but unless something big appears, they can't be bothered === Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha [19:52] bug 1079259 [19:52] bug 1079259 in testdrive (Ubuntu) "not lintian clean" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1079259 [19:53] balloons, please read [19:54] ohh.. yea, it's not up to snuff as a package [19:54] the debian stuff needs updating [19:54] and it needs a manpage.. they won't take it without fixes most likely [20:04] balloons: Noskcaj I have a proposed work around for non fuunctioning of the mini-iso, which actually does have some advantages that I had not considered.. [20:04] phillw, and they are? [20:04] balloons, does the lintian mean it shouldn [20:04] 't be realesed [20:07] Noskcaj: balloons I propose using ubuntu-server, with no additional things added. It has the advantage of having tasksel available to easily install the GUI (flavor) of their choice. [20:08] phillw, sounds good. how big is it? [20:08] which is much more newcomer friendly way for them, rather than using CLI to add the flavor of thier choice. [20:09] true [20:09] Noskcaj, the lintian stuff -- it depends on the archive guys [20:09] it is a base install, so all that is on it is required for a GUI [20:09] if an archive admin says it must meet that criteria, then it's not going in [20:10] ok, and ok [20:10] balloons: do you think using server makes sense? [20:12] it has other advantages, that I did not immediately recognise, such as an easy way for some one to install LAMP for them to test / experiment with. [20:13] I think Noskcaj should make his life easy and plan for the changes to not be there.. [20:13] I think picking a different iso is the best way to do that [20:13] and so yes, server is fine, if he wants to go that right [20:13] *route [20:13] ubuntu-server installs okay onto test-drive :) [20:14] yep, my session is fine without the mini, no changes needed. just i hope no-one is using Vbox 4.2 [20:14] for issues with VBox, I cannot help out. But I understand test-drive works okay with virt-manager (kvm). [20:15] Noskcaj: we can add a note to your session noting the bug. and advising people to use virt-manager. [20:16] if it comes up so be it [20:16] likely people willhave the old version [20:16] or you can explain to use an older version of kvm [20:17] balloons: I think that the current version of kvm does not have this problem? [20:18] the bug only affects oracle Vbox. [20:18] phillw, are you using it in your session? [20:18] balloons: and my fix for guestfish has been verified for quantal & should land in time :) [20:19] Noskcaj: I'm covering both VBox and virt-manager [20:19] nice [20:20] I think, given the circumstances, I'll use the VBox from the ubuntu repo. [20:20] ok, that should help [20:20] Noskcaj: is test-drive oklay with that 'older' VBox? [20:21] yep, it's only oracle that it dislikes [20:21] Noskcaj: older VBox & ubuntu-server it is, then :) I'll update my section. [20:21] ok [20:22] i have to eat now, bye [20:23] rc [20:23] tc [20:23] ! [20:25] bye Noskcaj ;-) [21:01] Noskcaj: for your info, I have VBox 4.1.8 on my system so I can check stuff with you if you need. [21:01] phillw, that's the ubuntu repo's one? [21:02] Noskcaj: yup :) [21:02] k, everything should work fine with it. === Noskcaj is now known as Noskcaj_AFK === salem_ is now known as _salem
