[03:34] <shtylman> how to I inrement the changelog to an UNRELASED state?
[03:34] <shtylman> *increment
[03:35] <StevenK> shtylman: You run 'dch -i'
[03:36] <shtylman> but that makes the version something that seems wrong
[03:36] <shtylman> 1.99.13ubuntu1
[03:36] <shtylman> and it doesn't put UNRELEASED anywhere
[03:36] <shtylman> as I have seen in the past
[03:37] <StevenK> There's an option for that, or an environment variable. I'm digging.
[03:37] * shtylman also digs
[03:39] <shtylman> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/revision/3410
[03:39] <shtylman> I need to make it 1.99.14 UNRELEASED
[03:39] <shtylman> I can probly just change it in the file
[03:39] <shtylman> but would like to learn the command line params
[03:40] <shtylman> -D UNRELEASED does the latter part
[03:40] <shtylman> got it
[03:40] <shtylman> StevenK: dch -v 1.99.14 -D UNRELEASED
[03:40] <StevenK> That would do it by hand, as it were
[03:40] <shtylman> that at least did the trick...no auto increment on version though
[03:40] <shtylman> right
[03:41] <StevenK> I get UNRELEASED when I run dch -i, but a ubuntu1 tacked on, which I fix by hand
[03:41] <shtylman> gotcha
[03:43] <CIA-33> ubiquity: shtylman * r3411 trunk/ (2 files in 2 dirs):
[03:43] <CIA-33> ubiquity: Fix for (LP: #419142), could not reproduce so just moved the size
[03:43] <CIA-33> ubiquity: display to the same line as % display
[08:51] <davmor2> xivulon: Morning
[09:18] <ogra> hey
[09:18] <ogra> how is the timing of the new slideshow made up ?
[09:19] <ogra> i just tested ubiquity for the first time with it on armel ... while the progress bar is only at 33% the slideshow is finished
[09:20] <ogra> is there a way to either run ubiquity without it (it seems to slow down everything) or adjust the time between the slide changes to something longer ?
[09:22] <davmor2> ogra: bank holiday in the uk where evand and cjwatson are based please try again tomorrow :)
[09:23] <ogra> oh, thanks i didnt know
[09:23] <davmor2> I think it is actually evand that is dealing with it :)
[09:23] <ogra> ok
[09:23] <davmor2> np's
[09:23] <ogra> who is responsible for the artwork ?
[09:24] <ogra> seems the wallpaper is hardcoded to 32bit while the framebuffer on the armel device i install on does 16bit ...
[09:24] <davmor2> ogra: I think it was just pulled in from other sources but I could be wrong you would need to speak to evand again on that :)
[09:24] <ogra> that results in ugly stairstepping
[09:24] <ogra> ah, k, i'll wait until tomorrow then
[09:25] <davmor2> :(
[11:21] <davmor2> Yay wubi seems to be starting up in linux mode now :) now to see if it will install :)
[14:38] <davmor2> Meh wubi is failing because ubiquity is crashing but it looks like the grub2 issue got resolved :)
[16:04] <CIA-33> ubiquity: superm1 * r3412 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py):
[16:04] <CIA-33> ubiquity: Look for language during the progress loop even if no slides are
[16:04] <CIA-33> ubiquity: available as the error message is dependent upon it.
[16:14] <superm1> eh that's affecting mythbuntu dailies since there are no slides (and probably xubuntu if you dont have slides cody-somerville). i think i'll do an upload so we can have a functional daily
[16:15] * cody-somerville nods.
[16:21] <yann|work> I just stumbled on http://bugs.debian.org/480533 with a self-customized intrepid install cd (alternate)
[16:21] <yann|work> I'm not sure what triggers it, since I did not get it before
[16:27] <CIA-33> ubiquity: superm1 * r3413 ubiquity/debian/changelog: release 1.99.14 into karmic
[17:01] <yann|work> yep
[17:01] <yann|work> (oops, EWRONGCHAN)
[17:03] <yann|work> so, about #480533 - I was wondering if there was any way to work around it, or if it required to backport the fix to intrepid and regenerate a new image
[17:21] <kirkland`> cjwatson: fyi ... booting-degraded-raid has regressed in karmic; looks like grub2 needs to be taught to install the bootloader on each disk in an array that provides /boot
=== robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk
[18:58] <NCommander> Does ubiquity properly respect partman-auto's recipes?
=== kirkland` is now known as kirkland
=== robbiew-afk is now known as robbiew
[21:04] <CIA-33> ubiquity: mterry * r3360 plugins/ (219 files in 15 dirs): merge from trunk
[22:12] <cr3> how can I preseed the installation type?
[22:36] <cjwatson> kirkland: ok - I'm guessing it's quite different for grub2 though
[22:36] <kirkland> cjwatson: i haven't looked at grub2 at all
[22:36] <cjwatson> NCommander: should do
[22:37] <cjwatson> kirkland: please don't hack around it in grub-installer - I'd like to see if we can get the installation process sorted out properly upstream
[22:37] <kirkland> cjwatson: in the old grub-install, i basically looked at the mountpoint serving /boot, and if it was on a raid device, it looped over each device in the md
[22:37] <cjwatson> yes, I know
[22:38] <cjwatson> read that code more times than I care to count ;)
[22:38] <kirkland> cjwatson: heh, yeah, sorry :-/
[22:51] <cr3> what's the difference between the string and text type in .templates? I'm trying to provide a value to ubiquity/install/services
[22:52] <cjwatson> cr3: installation type> what do you mean?
[22:53] <cjwatson> cr3: string/text> it makes no difference for preseeding - but string templates have a value, text templates don't (or at any rate aren't specced to do so, although I'm sure you could set a value for a question bound to a text template and have it basically work in practice)
[22:53] <cjwatson> a text template just describes a dialog that displays some text
[22:55] <cr3> cjwatson: I figured out the preseed value for the installation type: ubiquity mythbuntu/install_type string Master Backend/Frontend
[22:56] <cr3> cjwatson: sorry, need to jet, but thanks for the info about string vs text
[23:06] <davmor2> cjwatson: is preseed the better thing to learn over ks? Only I got the official ubuntu server book and ks looks much easier to pick up
[23:07] <cjwatson> there is no "better"
[23:07] <cjwatson> we support both; kickstart is easier to get started with, preseeding is more flexible
[23:07] <cjwatson> you can mix and match using the 'preseed' command extension to Ubuntu's kickstart implementation
[23:12] <davmor2> cjwatson: yes that pretty much confirms what was said in the book. So thanks for the confirmation I will look at it some more and have a play :)
[23:13] <CIA-33> installation-guide: cjwatson * r462 ubuntu/ (3 files in 3 dirs):
[23:13] <CIA-33> installation-guide: Remove link to kerneltraffic.org since it no longer contains a
[23:13] <CIA-33> installation-guide: linux kernel information (LP: #415108)
[23:14] <davmor2> cjwatson: is evand back tomorrow?
=== robbiew is now known as robbiew_
[23:21] <NCommander> cjwatson, excellent, I have a set of partman-auto changes for dove whenver you get a chance
[23:23] <cjwatson> davmor2: I don't think so
[23:23] <cjwatson> NCommander: sure
[23:24] <davmor2> cjwatson: bugger there are a couple of wubi/ubiquity related issues
