[00:42] <xivulon> shall I support both kubuntu and kubuntu-kde4 in wubi?
[00:45] <xivulon> guess so, if they both use live CD...
[01:23] <superm1> cjwatson, that error does look different than things dealt with in the past
[01:24] <superm1> its a moot point though because vnc4server is broken in hardy
[01:24] <superm1> so we're shipping without it
[01:28] <superm1> which reminds me, I need to drop a few comments in to completely disable the xorg.conf touching :)
[01:39] <CIA-24> ubiquity: superm1 * r2511 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/mythbuntu/mythbuntu_install.py): switch mythbuntu's vnc offering to x11vnc since vnc4server isn't ported yet to newer xorg in hardy
[07:51] <tjaalton> hmm, wasn't 'relatime' supposed to be the default option for local mounts?
[13:28] <cjwatson> evand: bug 160154 - I thought it let you pick the migrated user name from a list?

[13:44] <CIA-24> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2514 ubiquity/ (bin/ubiquity-dm debian/changelog):
[13:44] <CIA-24> ubiquity: * In ubiquity-dm, fall back to xfwm4 if metacity fails (unifying gtk_ui
[13:44] <CIA-24> ubiquity: and mythbuntu_ui handling in the process). Avoid hardcoding full paths
[13:44] <CIA-24> ubiquity: where possible.
[14:10] <CIA-24> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2515 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/components/partman.py):
[14:10] <CIA-24> ubiquity: * Fix reversed handling of answer to grub-installer/install_to_xfs
[14:10] <CIA-24> ubiquity: (LP: #138422).
[14:50] <evand> cjwatson: it does. You select a windows user to import, then select a preexisting name from a combobox or type a new username in the combobox with the usual rules applying (no spaces, etc)
[14:50] <evand> I think TerryG is just assuming things.
[14:51] <cjwatson> and the original reporter just missing something maybe?
[14:51] <evand> I think so
[14:51] <evand> I'll follow up
[15:03] <CIA-24> partman-auto: cjwatson * r252 partman-auto/debian/changelog: releasing version 73ubuntu2
[15:42] <cjwatson> evand: want to close 108156?
[15:46] <evand> done
[15:56] <cjwatson> evand: and does your boot device work close bug 90575?
[15:56] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 90575 in ubiquity "MASTER: need further sanity checking on grub device names" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/90575
[16:00] <evand> indeed, closed
[17:12] <cr3> what might be causing dpkg to return the message: Not replacing deleted config file /path/to/config?
[17:12] <cr3> how does it know that a config file was deleted, especially considering the package was purged
[17:16] <cjwatson> are you sure the package was purged and not merely deleted? it stores conffile records in /var/lib/dpkg/status and those are normally removed when a package is purged
[17:16] <cjwatson> not merely removed, I mean
[17:17] <cjwatson> anyhow, dpkg != installer ...
[17:17] <cjwatson> normally you need dpkg --force-confmiss to restore deleted conffiles.
[17:18] <cjwatson> furthermore the message you quote is not from dpkg at all, but from ucf.
[17:18] <cjwatson> so it could be a buggy ucf-using maintainer script.
[17:18] <cjwatson> (given which, ignore my comment about /var/lib/dpkg/status)
[17:52] <cjwatson> 529 ubiquity bugs ...
[17:56] <evand> in state New?
[17:57] <evand> ah, total :)
[17:59] <cjwatson> did a bit of triage for old crap today
[17:59] <evand> thanks, I plan on doing quite a bit of that tomorrow
[18:00] <cjwatson> I've been targetting some of the open ones with lots of dups to hardy
[18:00] <cjwatson> with the idea of using that as a coherent list of the ones to attack
[18:00] <cjwatson> do you have a different list you're using?
[18:01] <cjwatson> there seem to be several month-or-so-old ones about data being deleted, which perhaps were relics of clear_partitions problems
[18:09] <evand> I've been looking at them chronologically, though that sounds good as does bdmurray's list, which I seem to have misplaced the link to.
[18:10] <evand> re clear_partitions> I imagine so. I generally just look at the ubiquity version in such cases where they've provided logs and ask them what date CD they were using otherwise
=== mpt_ is now known as mpt
[19:03] <bdmurray> cjwatson: you commented on bug 141067 at one point in time. It seems to be about 2 issues though - showall not working and gids 1-99 being hidden is that right?
[19:03] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 141067 in system-tools-backends "Group GIDs 1-99 not shown in Groups Settings dialog" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/141067
[19:29] <cjwatson> sounds right
[19:30] <cjwatson> if the idea is not to show system users/groups, it should be >= 1000 as Yann says; if the idea is only to show users and groups that you might care about (which I think would also be fairly reasonable), it should probably just have an explicit blacklist
[19:57] <CIA-24> ubiquity: cjwatson * r2516 ubiquity/debian/ (79 files in 2 dirs): * Update translations from Launchpad.
[22:53] <xivulo1> /xivulon doesn't like amd64 name...
[22:53] <xivulo1> I get about 2-3 tickets a day about people with intel concerned the wrong ISO/arch is used...
[22:54] <xivulo1> It should definetely be called something else.
