[08:21] <mpt> xnox, hi, why did you assign bug 947107 to a team?
[08:21] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 947107 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) "No partition labels in the resize widgets" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/947107
[08:38] <xnox> mpt: I was young and naive in september last year?! =)
[08:38] <ogra_> ah, back then ... that were the times
[19:02] <simosx> Hi All! We have this issue, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1158750 that messes up the Ubuntu if it is installed in Greece (!).
[19:02] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1158750 in ubiquity "Ubiquity does not create correct UTF-8 locales" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[19:05] <simosx> What happens is that: 1. User installs Ubuntu 13.04 with the default environment in English. 2. GEOIP finds that the user is located in Greece (probably more countries), so it auto-adds the Greek locale for numbers, time, etc. 3. The Greek locale is not .UTF-8 but the old 8-bit style. 4. Many apps do not work, specifically those that show Greek from the locale (Mon, Tue, Wed, ...) and more.
[19:05] <simosx> Q1. Does anyone else from a non-English speaking country have the same issue?
[19:06] <simosx> Q2. We filed the bug under 'ubiquity'. Is that good? Should we have tried 'ubuntu-installer' instead?
[19:06] <simosx> hmm, and ping cjwatson ;-)
[22:46] <GrueMaster> Wow, lots of familiar names in the channel.  Sup!!
[22:46] <GrueMaster> Anyone here that can help woth oem-config on 12.04 server? It seems to crash on me when I try to reinitialize it on a running system. My steps are "apt-get install oem-config;oem-config-prepare" and reboot.
[22:48] <GrueMaster> The reason for this is I am gearing up to start distributing servers with custom fpga development platforms in them to various customers, and I am tasked with streamlining and making the deployment as turnkey as possible.  Ubuntu is the best choice for this work.
[22:51] <xnox> GrueMaster: sounds like you want cloud-init / cloud-based images that self-boot and self-configure (mostly)
[22:51] <infinity> No reason oem-config wouldn't work for this.  How's it crashing?
[22:52] <xnox> GrueMaster: it works fine on e.g. panda server preinstalled armhf images.
[22:52] <GrueMaster> xnox: Not cloud based.
[22:53] <GrueMaster> infinity: It craches with a "File or Directory not found error.  Unfortunately, the system I had initially setup has already shipped out.
[22:53] <xnox> GrueMaster: the fact that cloud-init was written for cloud can be missleading. It is used to lauch: VMs, lxc containers and even deploy bare-metal nodes/installations.
[22:53] <GrueMaster> xnox: I know.  I used to test them daily.
[22:53] <xnox> fair enough, if you know it's not what you need, then you don't need it =)
[22:54] <xnox> GrueMaster: was the debconf frontend installed?!
[22:54] <GrueMaster> The issue here is that I need to install a system (no problem from USB), do some specific configurations for the apps we install, run tests on the fpga, then prep the system to ship out.
[22:54] <GrueMaster> xnox: yes (which was also an issue).  It installed both ubiquity-debconf and ubiquity-qt.
[22:55] <infinity> GrueMaster: oem-config-debconf too?
[22:55] <xnox> GrueMaster: you want oem-config-debconf ubiquity-frontend-debconf and none of the qt stuff.
[22:55] <GrueMaster> yes
[22:56] <GrueMaster> xnox: I know.  I ran apt-get install oem-config and the dependencies pulled the rest.
[22:56] <xnox> hmm... not much poking in the dark.
[22:56]  * xnox ponders if we have any manual or automatic server oem config tests or not.
[22:57] <GrueMaster> Not last time I checked.
[22:57] <GrueMaster> At least not very good ones.  But that is a different arguement for a later time.
[22:58] <xnox> yeah, quickly checked iso-tracker & jenkins the closes thing is alternate cd, which is not the same as client side oem config is graphical.
[22:59] <infinity> apt-get install oem-config won't get you oem-config-debconf by default, I thought?
[22:59] <infinity> It's been a while since I had to mangle all of that for panda preinstalls.
[23:00] <GrueMaster> btw, adding "debug-oem-config" to the kernel boot paramters really didn't help.  Nothing useful was generated (in fact, it only showed the python crash details once instead of 4 times in the syslog).
[23:01] <GrueMaster> infinity: "apt-cache depends oem-config" lists oem-config-debconf and it was installed on this system.
[23:01] <GrueMaster> I'll have to try to get some spare cycles and retest this I guess.  Bit frustrating though.
[23:02]  * GrueMaster ponders writing a python test script for this, just to spite the powers that be.
[23:03] <GrueMaster> THis is on x86-64 btw.  I'm now at Intel.  They tend to frown on arm development here.  :P
