[09:51] <xivulon> evand, I have pushed Wubi 506 fixing the uninstaller bug since couldn't see your commit. It would be nice if the stand alone executable on ubuntu.com could be updated
[13:58] <evand> xivulon: slangasek makes the final call on that, and I see you already asked him in -release.
[13:59] <evand> sorry about not pushing my changes. I don't know how that branch keeps getting unbound.
[15:22] <xivulon> evand could you sync with 506 and produce a binary, should be identical to the one you did yesterday anyway, but just in case
[15:22] <xivulon> I did test it too and so did other users, looks good so far
[15:24] <evand> will do
[15:36] <evand> xivulon: which binary, self-extracting or the regular one?
[15:51] <xivulon> only the regular one
[15:52] <xivulon> since the unfortunately the self-extracting cannot be update :(
[15:53] <davmor2> xivulon: Ah that's okay anyone with vista want have more than one hd honest ;)
[15:53] <davmor2> s/want/wont
[15:56] <xivulon> you can still have more than one partition though...
[16:02] <evand> http://people.ubuntu.com/~evand/wubi/Wubi-8.04.1-rev506.exe
[16:18] <xivulon> davmor2, evand could you please test ^
[16:18] <xivulon> wouldn't want to go to steve 3 times in a row...
[16:19] <xivulon> that is not the self extracting correct?
[16:19] <davmor2> isn't this the one the got tested yesterday or am I going mad?
[16:20] <xivulon> yep but technically is a different build since evand has resynced the branches, so in 99.99% of the cases it is ok, but we still need to test it
[16:21] <xivulon> should be a full installation/uninstallation cycle
[16:21] <xivulon> ideally not on C:
[16:26] <davmor2> np's
[16:37] <davmor2> brb
[16:39] <xivulon> evand do we need to go through an SRU anyway, don't we?
[16:45] <evand> xivulon: I don't think there's a procedure in place for this kind of thing. You'd have to ask slangasek what the proper course of action is as any final decision will have to go through him.
[17:21] <davmor2> xivulon: seems to be fine just tried the remove from d:// and it's worked
[22:54] <soren> I'm sort of banging my head against the wall here. I'm trying to figure out how to make a change to isolinux.cfg on the ubuntu server cd. I would expect it to be in cd-image, but I simply can't find it. Is the cd build process documented somewhere?
[22:55] <soren> I'm looking at ubuntu-cdimage and debian-cd... Am I missing a component?
[22:57] <cjwatson> it's in debian-cd, tools/boot/intrepid/boot-*
[22:57] <cjwatson> make sure you have debian-cd from http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/bzr/debian-cd/ubuntu rather than the packaged one though
[22:58] * soren looks
[22:59] <soren> Oh!
[23:01] <soren> My plan is to change the default install option to one that preselects the server task, and then add a new "Minimal install" option which just installs ubuntu-standard (or perhaps even just ubuntu-minimal).
[23:02] <soren> Does that sound reasonable? I'm a bit outside my area of expertise.
[23:15] <cjwatson> soren: can you ask me tomorrow and we'll talk? there are some other options that might potentially work better, but it's a bit late for me now
[23:16] <soren> cjwatson: Sure thing.
[23:16] <soren> cjwatson: Thanks.
