seb128happy friday!08:11
mvohey seb128!08:11
seb128hey mvo, wie gehts?08:11
mvoseb128: I'm in really good mood, I got a slackline and installed it in the garden yesterday08:12
Laneyhey mvo et seb12808:12
seb128hey Laney, how are you?08:12
seb128mvo, lol, I first read that as "I got slackware and installed it"08:12
mvoseb128: and you? how is the real world?08:12
mvoseb128: LOL08:13
Laneynot bad!08:13
Laneyapparently the "hottest day of the year" today08:13
seb128good! we have blue sky & not crazy hot weather08:13
mvoseb128: yeah, 'cause I hate systemd and its the last hideout ;)08:13
mvo(kidding, I don't care much about the init system really)08:13
Laneyhow dare you08:13
mvoLaney: really? we had that last week, it was really hot08:13
Laneygive back your Debian license right now08:13
seb128Laney, how hot is that?08:14
mvoLaney: *weeeeeh* you mean as a DD I *must* *always* *have* *strong* *opinions* ?08:14
seb128we had 36°C on monday08:14
Laney☑ posted on 10 init threads in the past year08:14
Laneyyeah don't laugh at us :P08:14
LaneyI think the previous hottest was 2608:14
ogra_now it is 26.5 ?08:15
Laneycould be!08:15
ogra_:)08:15
* seb128 refrains a lol08:16
LaneyI'm quite happy if that is the maximum we get all year ;-)08:17
seb128yeah, over 30°C starts being annoying08:17
mvoseb128++08:18
Laneyseb129?08:18
darkxsttry 43-45°C, thats about our usual max over summer, luckily its winter now and we have nice mild 10°C days!08:25
seb128with over 40°C I guess everybody stick to "find some place with AC and stay in there"?08:26
darkxstwell I do! not sure what the people without AC do, go shopping perhaps!08:26
seb128shrug09:43
* seb128 shakes fist at xnox and ubiquity09:43
xnoxseb128: cepasa? 3.12?09:46
seb128the "replace Ubuntu install" partitionner option destroyed the win8 and recovery partitions on that machine09:46
xnoxseb128: or just general cd brokenes09:46
xnoxseb128: i've filed several requests to get windows8 from MSDN to fix that.09:46
seb128xnox, no, I just nuked the win8 from my cousin trying to install the LTS09:46
seb128shrug09:46
seb128I hope there was no important datas on that disk :-(09:47
xnoxseb128: excellent, did you make "windows 8 recovery usb stick first" ?09:47
seb128no09:47
xnoxseb128: cause now you don't have any way to reinstall windows 809:47
xnox\o/09:47
seb128yeah, thanks, I know09:47
seb128no win8, no data09:47
xnoxwho needs that stuff anyway =)09:47
Laney:/09:47
seb128xnox, not funny09:47
seb128we shouldn't even propose that option if it has risks to nuke disks09:48
seb128xnox, I guess you don't know of any way to recover the partitions or datas?09:51
xnoxseb128: i've used testdisk successfully before.09:55
Laneytjaalton: do you know anything about libinput?09:55
xnoxseb128: you should be able to still guess partition tables & detect ntfs and recover things that ubuntu didn't blast over09:55
seb128Laney, it's used by clutter and needs a MIR!09:55
seb128xnox, let me try that09:56
xnoxseb128: so eveyrthing sans first 10GB should be recovarable.09:56
Laneyseb128: xactly09:56
xnoxseb128: ideally boot into livecd and install testdisk into live to operate on the drive, et.al.09:56
seb128xnox, trying that, thanks09:56
tjaaltonLaney: did RAOF package that already, or am i thinking of something else..10:00
Laneytjaalton: It's packaged10:01
Laneyclutter wants to pull it into main10:01
tjaaltonah10:02
tjaaltoni think Mir will use it eventually10:02
Laneythat's interesting10:03
tjaaltonso MIRing it now would make sense in the long run10:03
Laneyas it's part of the wayland project10:03
Laneybut cool10:03
Laneywho would be good to do the MIR? :-)10:03
tjaaltonhehe10:04
tjaaltonmlankhorst is off today, as am i10:04
tjaaltonso if you need it now maybe someone else :)10:05
Laneydoesn't have to be now10:05
LaneyI was just browsing excuses and saw this10:05
tjaaltoni can file the paperwork on monday10:06
Laneythat would be great10:06
Laneythanks!10:06
Laneynow go enjoy your day off :P10:06

seb128bregma, hey, just as a fyi, I kicked a rebuild for unity8-desktop-session changes in silo 008, since the platform-api landed (so the changes got applied on the new trunk/can be tested)12:37
bregmasaw that, thanks12:37
bregmait'll likely land today12:37
seb128great12:38
seb128I'm going to test it in a bit12:38
desrtmoin13:04
seb128xnox, help! ;-)13:39
seb128xnox, so I gave up on getting back win8 on that box and installed trusty13:39
seb128but after install/reboot I'm greeted with a "Operating System Not Found" and not with grub13:40
seb128do you know what the issue could be?13:40
ogra_did you check the UEFI boot order etc ?13:40
ogra_(in the BIOS)13:40
seb128ogra_, where there is only one OS shouldn't that be the one booted?13:41
seb128ok, changed the boot mode from UEFI to legacy and it boots Ubuntu...13:42
ogra_probably ... i just know that i have to fiddle with that when susie accidentially booted into windows on her laptop ... it switches to the builtin windows boot manager in UEFI at times13:42
seb128ogra_, well, the issue is that ubiquity nucked all the windows partitions, including boot and recovery13:42
seb128(when picking "reinstall over the existing Ubuntu installation")13:42
ogra_ah, nice :P13:43
seb128"nice"13:43
seb128indeed13:43
xnoxseb128: bah. that's quite bad.13:51
xnoxseb128: i'd reinstall again.13:51
seb128xnox, well, it's booting when the bios is in "legacy mode"13:51
xnoxseb128: it means that bios preffered legacy boot over UEFI boot. And since our media is dual, it did boot in BIOS mode for installation.13:51
xnoxwhen you were originally booting external media13:51
xnoxit's nicer / faster & better graphics to boot in UEFI mode all the time.13:52
seb128there is no way to reinstall grub in uefi mode from the installed system?13:52
xnoxthere is13:52
xnoxdo you still have UEFI partition though left?13:52
seb128how do I know? I doubt it13:52
xnoxseb128: open disks13:52
xnoxseb128: and check if it has one at the begging13:53
seb128there is a 274M and a  1.5G unknown type ones13:53
xnox"Partition Type" EFI System as the first one in the begging13:53
seb128well type "basic data"13:53
seb128no13:53
xnox1.5G unknown type could be intel rapid start volume13:54
xnox274M is that FAT partition?13:54
xnoxcan you mount it & check what it has?13:54
xnoxoverwise i would reboot into bios, make sure it preffers UEFI only for all boot types & reinstall.13:54
seb128no, it fact that "non allocated space"13:54
xnoxor just stick with legacy boot13:55
xnox=)13:55
xnoxseb128: it's not like, grub1 was ever removed from the archive and main =))))13:55
xnoxseb128: and i did fix bugs with using grub1 on trusty =)))))))) lolz13:55
seb128xnox, shrug13:55
seb128the bios was in UEFI mode when I booted the USB stick, I'm unsure how doing another install is going to be different13:56
xnoxthat's very weird then13:56
xnoxyou should have ended up with an UEFI install13:56
seb128well, I didn't install over the disk but picked a / partition13:56
seb128so maybe that's an issue?13:57
seb128xnox, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_partition states I need to create an EFI partition if I want to be able to use UEFI boot14:02
seb128ubiquity is not doing that for me in manual partitioning mode14:02
xnoxseb128: we reuse/hide that fact typically.14:02
xnoxseb128: EFI system partition is nothing more than a FAT32 partition with a type id changed to "EFI"14:02
xnox(or was it fat16?!)14:03
seb128xnox, well, typically seems like if you don't do manually partitioning ... let me install over the disk14:06
Saviqseb128, bregma, hey, silo 008 is built with session logout, will you do the desktop testing (I can do a phone ACK)?14:07
xnoxseb128: so, you originally booted with (a) uefi mode (b) went into manual partitioning (c) picked existing ubuntu partition (?!) for a reinstall and that resulted in grub-pc, instead of grub-efi?14:07
bregmaSaviq, absolutely14:07
xnoxSaviq: bregma: \o/14:08
seb128Saviq, I'm about to test on desktop yes, though we can't test the logout part until unity8 and indicator-session changes land, right?14:08
Saviqseb128, they're in the same silo, why wouldn't you be able to test?14:08
seb128xnox, sort of, (c) selected manual mode, created a new partition, used that to install /14:08
xnoxseb128: you didn't trust auto-resize, right? (or it wasn't offered)?14:09
seb128Saviq, ignore me, I didn't realize that silo had been reconfigured since this morning14:09

seb128desrt, hey, sorry I just remembered that forgot to reply to your greeting earlier ;-)14:16

seb128Laney, indeed15:05
seb128Laney, going to make larsu happy :/15:07
* larsu reads scrollback to become happy15:07
charlesseb128, I'm going to be afk in a little bit taking my wife to work, after that I'll see if I can get a unity8 env running on my system and try 008 on my own and track down the problem15:07
seb128larsu, <irony> sorry15:07
ogra_to late !15:08
ogra_TGIF :)15:08
charlesseb128, downside is, eta ~90 min before I start on that15:08
larsuseb128: what are we talking about? The volume button bug?15:08
seb128charles, ok, let me know if I can help providing debug infos15:08
seb128larsu, yes15:08
seb128charles, well, no worry, that can wait for monday to land15:08
seb128though I'm a bit annoyed that we grouper the iso autologin fix with unrelated changes15:09
larsuseb128: any idea what could be wrong there?15:09
seb128because it means we are blocking the iso fix15:09
seb128bregma, Saviq: ^ just as a fyi15:09
seb128larsu, no :-( I see a + displayed a bit downer on the UI, I wonder if that's a stacking or rendering issue15:10
larsuinteresting. I'll put it on my TODO15:10
Saviqseb128, hmm, sorry, we did discuss it this morning, only probably we expected this to be working and landable...15:10
* larsu has to finish reviewing desrt's parser patch today15:10
Saviqseb128, if you want, drop unity8 and i-session again from there and land u8-d-session alone15:11
seb128Saviq, yeah, we should have taken Laney's login fix alone and then grouped everything else15:11
seb128mterry, thanks for the MIR approval btw ;-)15:14
mterryseb128, I only wish they were all so easy  :)15:15

bregmathe logout fix getting added to the unity8-desktop-session silo took me by surprise too15:20
seb128bregma, I'm going to move Laney's fix to its own silo, land that and reconfigure the logout one without that mp, if that works for you?15:21
bregmawfm15:21
seb128thanks15:22
seb128Saviq, bregma, charles, Laney: k, I landed the unity8-desktop-session autologin fix and I'm rebuilding silo 008 on top of that landing now (only including the session changes)16:13
Laneycool, thanks16:14
Laneywhat does on top of mean?16:14
seb128I waited for the fix to be in trunk before kicking the rebuild16:14
seb128so it means the silo includes the fix16:14
Laneyoh there's another change to that package, I see16:15
seb128right16:15
seb128ok, calling it a week, time for some tennis and w.e!16:39
