[09:56] <tormod> evand, what is the status of bug #136682 wrt to 8.04.1?
[09:58] <tormod> evand: the reason I ask it is milestoned for 8.04.1 but it hasn't got into hardy-proposed (not even on bzr)
[12:11] <ub4b> is there any docs how the setting of partman affects installation of the kernel (and grub settings), eg the obvious difference in rootfs between 1 disk setup and raid1 ...
[12:12] <cjwatson> the initramfs deals with mounting the root filesystem; it's basically a matter of what root= you pass to grub
[12:12] <cjwatson> (aside from / on LVM which has to use lilo instead of grub at the moment)
[12:41] <ub4b> cjwatson: and these tools write option like root=UUID=5e1133c3-b2f0-4c28-ac91-2c21dab32c8d to the kernel line of grub.lst ?
[12:41] <ub4b> I mean menu.lst
[12:42] <cjwatson> grub-installer does that, yes
[12:43] <cjwatson> well, no, that's not quite true
[12:43] <cjwatson> grub-installer feeds the device name to update-grub, and update-grub converts to a UUID as appropriate
[12:44] <cjwatson> (for example, it leaves /dev/md* alone and doesn't UUIDify that, because that's already a stable device name)
[13:22] <ub4b> update-grub seems to find my custom kernel, but only if menu.lst doesn't exist, otherwise it's not being added
[14:42] <evand> tormod: It's in Intrepid. I'm working on nominating and uploading the rest of the Wubi 8.04.1 bugs today.
[21:32] <CIA-1> ubiquity: evand * r2682 ubiquity/ (4 files in 3 dirs):
[21:32] <CIA-1> ubiquity: * Disable the close button for progress windows (LP: #107686).
[21:32] <CIA-1> ubiquity: * Reset stay_on_page when the back button is pressed (LP: #235374).
[21:33] <mario_limonciell> evand, did you have a plan when you were going to do the first build for intrepid of ubiquity? i'd like to squeeze in the *-mythbuntu FE changes before you do, so i'd like to plan accordingly
[21:37] <evand> *-mythbuntu FE?
[21:38] <evand> I was thinking about doing it soon -- tomorrow, ideally -- but I can wait if need be.
[21:40] <mario_limonciell> if you can do it tomorrow evening, that should be fine
[21:41] <mario_limonciell> i've just got to make sure i didn't introduce any regressions with the changes
[21:44] <evand> ok, regardless I'll check with you before starting the process tomorrow night
[21:44] <mario_limonciell> okay thanks
[21:44] <evand> no problem
[23:49] <xivulon> evand, cjwatson how do you suggest testing the ntfs-3g fix?
[23:49] <xivulon> I can only test (simplistically) if there is any regression, I am not sure how to trigger the conditions that generated the bug to begin with
