[06:58] <DanChapman> good morning
[07:03] <jibel> good morning
[09:16] <brendand> does xvfb-run work with autopilot? is there anything special i need to do to make it work?
[09:21] <jibel> brendand, it works, make sure the color depth is 24 by default it is 8
[09:21] <jibel> something -s "screen 0 1024x768x24"
[09:22] <jibel> -s "-screen 0 1024x768x24"
[09:22] <jibel> even
[09:23] <brendand> jibel, interesting - any idea why that needs to be?
[09:25] <jibel> brendand, I don't remember the details, but mesa doesn't load with lower depth I believe. It is not required by AP itself though but by the apps that use opengl
[09:27] <brendand> jibel, that makes sense
[09:27] <brendand> jibel, thanks
[09:28] <pitti> brendand: GL, and thus also the software emulation, only works with 24 bpp
[09:28] <pitti> brendand: I doubt that with 8 bpp a real graphics card would behave (but I'm not sure)
[09:28] <pitti> brendand: that 8bpp default in 2014 is a bit unfortunate indeed
[09:29] <pitti> brendand: btw, you should look at autopilot-sandbox-run
[09:29] <pitti> brendand: that gets all those gory details right, and is quite convenient; it also supports Xephyr, if you want to see what's actually going on
[09:29] <brendand> pitti, yeah i didn't know xvfb run defaults to 8bpp
[09:30] <brendand> pitti, oh that's very handy :)
[10:00] <jibel> xnox, I trying to reproduce bug 1302694
[10:00] <jibel> xnox, do you know where parted_server get the label from?
[10:01] <jibel> xnox, I've set a label with mkfs and ntfslabel, the label is set but nothing displayed in partman output
[10:03] <xnox> jibel: parted logs show labels, and e.g. in ubiquity you should see labels in 'Something else..." advance partitioning table, ditto in d-i.
[10:04] <xnox> jibel: also since it's unicode characters on an ntfs partition, I guess they are in UTF-16 rather than UTF-8. But i guess the bug should be reproducible with either.
[10:06] <jibel> xnox, so if I set a label with 'ntfslabel /dev/sdb1 Données' for example, I should see it in the advanced partitioner and partman log, right?
[10:08] <xnox> yeap.
[10:08] <jibel> well, I don't see it :)
[10:10] <jibel> elfy, about bug 1303268
[10:10] <jibel> elfy, what was the setup of your system before the installation
[10:10] <jibel> and the crash
[10:10] <elfy> hi jibel - not sure what was going on yesterday with that - works fine with todays zsynced image
[10:11] <elfy> I've never needed to do anything other than install it - I've never used EFI installs
[10:12] <elfy> and I know I didn't choose the UEFI option from the f12 boot list
[10:12] <jibel> elfy, okay, there seems to be something wrong, we receive lot of bugs on EFI system with this error, and they cannot all be user errors. Or if they are it is a UI bug
[10:13] <elfy> yep - agreed, if I'd done this once and reported it then wandered off I'd put it down to user error - but this wasn't like that at all :)
[10:14] <elfy> jibel: I use unetbootin and haven't had this error at all previously
[10:15] <davmor2> Morning all
[10:15] <jibel> elfy, was there another OS installed on this machine?
[10:15] <elfy> morning davmor2
[10:15] <jibel> good morning davmor2
[10:15] <elfy> jibel: yea - this instance of xubuntu
[10:15] <davmor2> jibel: RC week right?
[10:15] <jibel> elfy, 32 or 64bit?
[10:15] <elfy> 64bit
[10:16] <elfy> davmor2: it is RC week indeed
[10:18] <davmor2> jibel: as I happen to have a uefi box sat here in front of me is there something you'd like me to test? I'm just syncing images currently
[10:21] <jibel> davmor2, there are tons of reports lately where installation fails in grub because people seems to have booted there system in EFI mode but disks are not configured for EFI
[10:21] <jibel> davmor2, actually far too many of them to be a simple user error
[10:21] <jibel> davmor2, eg bug 1299134, bug 1303268, ...
[10:22] <elfy> I'm quite good with pebkac at times - this definitely wasn't one of them ;)
[10:22] <jibel> davmor2, but I cannot find a valid test case. In every case there is always another OS installed prior to installation
[10:23] <jibel> doanac, but I fail at finding a valid test case. It could be on systems with Windows 8 preinstalled for example
[10:23] <jibel> doanac, sorry
[10:24] <jibel> davmor2, I found that lot of these systems have ntfs partitions for example, other have other linux distribution like elementary os
[10:25] <davmor2> jibel: I have a windows box I can install side by side with give me an hour to make sure I have everything updated, burn the dvd and I'll install against that (WIN7)
[10:34] <jibel> davmor2, this box support efi?
[10:36] <jibel> the only efi box I have here is my main laptop, and I don't really fancy installing windows 8 on it :)
[10:36] <davmor2> jibel: no this is just a bios box,  which I believe is the case for the first bug I can get windows 8 back on laptop that has uefi but that will take a lot longer
[11:08] <davmor2> jibel: on the install or live cd session, if you leave the device with no interaction for a small amount of time do you get real lag till the system wakes again?
[11:08] <jibel> \o/ system crashed
[11:09] <davmor2> jibel: is that not more of a /o\
[11:09] <jibel> davmor2, I rarely leave it time to rest, but I'll try
[11:12] <davmor2> jibel: I only had to while it was repartitioning the win7 partition so I got on with finishing off a phone test in the meantime and then came back to it :)
[11:12] <jibel> davmor2, no it is a \o/. I think I found another UEFI crash. I you install Ubuntu on a 2nd drive and 1rst drive has not EFI Partition then ubiquity crashes
[11:12] <jibel> s/I/If/
[11:13] <davmor2> sadtrombone.com
[11:13] <jibel> which is the case if drive 1 has no OS at all
[11:34] <davmor2> jibel: so install against win7 on a standard bios based box hax just worked no issues
[11:34] <davmor2> jibel: that's on the latest image
[11:36] <davmor2> jibel: I ony have WIN8 to install against my main laptop and that will prevent me from booting into windows 8 if I change uefi to bios mode
[11:40] <elfy> jibel: would it help if I tried to install in uefi mode here deliberately?
[11:49] <jibel> davmor2, you don't have to switch to bios mode, I don't think people deliberately switch to bios or uefi, most of them don't even know what it is
[11:51] <davmor2> jibel:  I think you'll find that if it is a build it yourself then it comes in bios mode, if it is a prebuilt then it comes in uefi mode normally with secureboot  I'll have a play after Lunch anyway.
[12:34] <davmor2> jibel: right back from lunch win8 installing
[12:36] <davmor2> jibel: man I forgot how slow windows is to install :(
[14:26] <davmor2> jibel: still no issues but my god how long does it take to install WIN8
[14:29] <davmor2> jibel: Although I did have to partition manually :)
[19:09] <Letozaf_> elopio, hello

[19:41] <Letozaf_> elopio, :P
[19:41] <elopio> that's why we have reviewers, we always need a different pair of eyes.

[19:42] <Letozaf_> elopio, thanks meanwhile I will fix it a bit
[19:42] <elopio> thanks to you.
[19:43] <Letozaf_> elfy, :D my pleasure

[19:44] <elfy> blame forestpiskie :D
[19:45] <Letozaf_> elfy, and forestpiskie are supposed to be the same person ? :P
[19:46] <forestpiskie> Letozaf_: don't believe a word that elfy says - he's the same as hobgoblin :p
[19:49] <Letozaf_> forestpiskie, elfy  :?
[19:51] <elfy> Letozaf_: I am the same person as forestpiskie - and hobgoblin when he's about
[19:52] <Letozaf_> elfy, lol sort of knew it but wasn't sure :P
[19:52] <elfy> :)
[19:52] <elfy> /whois will tell you :)
