[06:26] <TheMuso> xnox: Is there any reason why org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons is unset in bin/ubiquity-dm? Bzr revision 5814 doesn't mention that change in its changelog. Leaving it unset when one clicks the "try Ubuntu" button in ubiquity causes keyboard and accessibility issues.
[08:44] <xnox> TheMuso: so unsetting that key, will not load nautilus on the desktop by default.
[08:45] <xnox> which we really don't need nor want in the ubiquity-dm, as we want gnome-settings-daemon to paint the background for us.
[09:52] <xnox> TheMuso: with "show-desktop-icons" as true, I get no wallpaper painted in ubiquity by gnome-settings-daemon. No sound in my VM for some reason today, will test on spare laptop.
[14:36] <brendand> how do i properly mount a disk image file?
[14:36] <brendand> sudo mount -o loop -rw -t auto saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf-disk1.img tmp
[14:36] <brendand> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[14:37] <cjwatson> -rw isn't a valid mount option.  you probably meant -o loop,rw
[14:37] <cjwatson> as for the rest, I don't know what type the cloud images are and we don't produce them, ask the server team
[14:39] <xnox> brendand: is it partitioned? maybe you want $ sudo kpartx -a saucy-server*.img and then mount the partitions, which should be mapped in /dev/mapper/loop*p1 and somesuch.
[14:41] <brendand> xnox, kpartx doesn't show anything
[14:41] <brendand> xnox, does that mean it isn't partitioned?
[14:42] <cjwatson> brendand: Please ask the server/cloud people
[14:43] <brendand> cjwatson, should the above work for a desktop image, so i have a reference point?
[14:43] <cjwatson> $ sudo mount -o loop saucy-desktop-amd64.iso /mnt
[14:43] <cjwatson> [sudo] password for cjwatson:
[14:43] <cjwatson> mount: warning: /mnt seems to be mounted read-only.
[14:43] <cjwatson> <cjwatson@amber ~/cdimage>$
[14:45] <brendand> cjwatson, that's a yes then
[14:45] <brendand> #query ubuntu-server
[14:45] <brendand> doh
[14:45] <brendand> for one thing that should be join
[14:46] <xnox> brendand: sudo mount -o loop precise-server-cloudimg-armhf.img /mnt
[14:46] <xnox> brendand: works here..... what image did you download?
[14:46] <brendand> xnox, oh - saucy. let me try precise then
[14:47] <xnox> brendand: ..... what URL did you use to download your image?
[14:47] <brendand> xnox, and it's the armhf image
[14:48] <brendand> xnox, http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/saucy/current/saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf-disk1.img
[14:48] <xnox> brendand: file saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf-disk1.img
[14:48] <xnox> saucy-server-cloudimg-armhf-disk1.img: QEMU QCOW Image (v2), 1480550400 bytes
[14:48] <xnox> brendand: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4396/how-do-i-mount-a-qcow2-disk-image
[14:56] <brendand> i should have known that - thanks!
[21:42] <TheMuso> xnox: Right, we should probably re-enable it when the user clicks "Try Ubuntu", more for accessibility reasons than anything else...
