| [00:47] <ibizatryx> hi all, i'm having issues with the software center. i can't install any files from it. can someone help please? | |
| [00:52] <ibizatryx> mmmmmmm | |
| [00:56] <cjwatson> we don't do software-center here, only initial OS installation | |
| [00:56] <cjwatson> I don't know if they have a dedicated channel | |
| [00:59] <ibizatryx> thanks anyways :( | |

| [10:03] <njm> Hey Guys, since I updated my Ubuntu 10.04 Remix on my netbook, my 3G USB Dongle doesn't work anymore... It says: waiting for usb device to settle in dmesg. Any ideas? | |
| [10:05] <CIA-28> ubiquity: evand * r4381 trunk/ (139 files in 3 dirs): Update translations from Launchpad. | |
| [10:06] <ev> njm: please ask in #ubuntu . This channel is for installer development. | |
| [10:06] <njm> Will do, thanx | |
| [10:06] <ev> sure thing | |
| [10:06] <ev> good luck | |

| [12:17] <ogra> hmm, yesterdays image had a busy cursor all the time while oem-config was running, was that dropped again ? | |
| [14:18] <ev> woo, finally got fakechroot working with debootstrap. | |
| [14:18] <persia> \o/ | |
| [14:21] <ev> (apparently the -s flag is magic) | |
| [14:21] <ev> right, lunch | |
| [15:40] <ara> ev, kubuntu ubiquity crasher, for your debugging pleasure | |

| [15:41] <ev> thanks | |
| [15:52] <CIA-28> ubiquity: evand * r4384 trunk/ (3 files in 3 dirs): | |
| [15:52] <CIA-28> ubiquity: Fix the installer window growing and shrinking when typing in the | |
| [15:52] <CIA-28> ubiquity: boxes on the user setup page. | |
| [15:59] <ev> Anyone have an objection to me also tailing syslog in the installer details section? Quite a bit of installer-related detail ends up there. | |
| [16:04] <superm1> sounds sensible to me | |
| [16:04] <superm1> how are you going to tail both though in the single vte? | |
| [16:05] <ev> superm1: tail -f /var/log/installer/debug -f /var/log/syslog -q | |
| [16:05] <superm1> oh neat, i didn't know tail could do multiple files | |
| [16:06] <superm1> you might consider changing that though for when running oem-config to be /var/log/oem-config.log and /var/log/syslog | |
| [16:06] <ev> good call! | |
| [16:07] <ev> and yeah, I only recently stumbled upon it myself | |
| [17:03] <CIA-28> ubiquity: evand * r4385 trunk/ (3 files in 3 dirs): | |
| [17:03] <CIA-28> ubiquity: Do not show the prepare page by means of hiding the language page | |
| [17:03] <CIA-28> ubiquity: before the former is ready. | |
| [17:58] <ev> interesting. You can't read syslog if you run python under sudo and then drop privileges. | |
| [17:59] <CIA-28> ubiquity: evand * r4386 trunk/ (2 files in 2 dirs): | |
| [17:59] <CIA-28> ubiquity: Fix a crash in the KDE partitioning page when no partitions are | |

| [17:59] <cjwatson> iz 0640 root:adm iirc | |
| [17:59] <ev> yes, but ubuntu is in adm | |
| [17:59] <cjwatson> maybe we're not calling setgroups | |
| [18:00] <cjwatson> doesn't look like we are | |
| [18:00] <ev> ahhh, well spotted | |
| [18:02] <cjwatson> really quite startlingly tedious to get the right list, unless I'm missing something | |
| [18:06] <cjwatson> mind you the python for it is a hell of a lot shorter than the C ;-) | |
| [18:17] <ev> http://paste.ubuntu.com/497857/ seems to work | |
| [18:18] <ev> I'll extend that to cover all cases | |
| [18:18] <ev> and indeed :) | |
| [18:19] <cjwatson> oh, heh, I was doing it too but was interrupted by a phone call | |
| [18:20] <ev> oh, sorry | |
| [18:20] <cjwatson> no problem | |
| [18:20] <cjwatson> I came up with http://paste.ubuntu.com/497859/ but haven't tested it | |
| [18:20] <cjwatson> the guts seem equivalent | |
| [18:20] <ev> yes, but you're right to do it in a list comprehension | |
| [18:20] <cjwatson> IIRC it's important to do setgroups before setegid on the way down and setgroups after setegid on the way up | |
| [18:21] <cjwatson> I forget the details, it's just embedded in the cookbook bit of my brain | |
| [18:21] <ev> lol | |
| [18:21] <ev> I presume you have an entire copy of Stevens in there | |
| [18:23] <cjwatson> no, that's on my bookshelf ;) | |
| [18:49] <ev> cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/497877/ - how does that looks? You were missing casts to int and you'd hit a permissions issue if a drop was called inside a drop. | |
| [18:50] <ev> look* | |
| [18:56] <cjwatson> looks ok. we could perhaps even stick a try around setgroups | |
| [19:01] <CIA-28> ubiquity: evand * r4387 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/misc.py): | |
| [19:01] <CIA-28> ubiquity: Call setgroups() when raising and dropping privileges. Thanks Colin | |
| [19:01] <CIA-28> ubiquity: Watson! | |
| [19:02] <CIA-28> ubiquity: evand * r4388 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py): | |
| [19:02] <CIA-28> ubiquity: Also tail syslog in the installer details pane, since that's where | |
| [19:02] <CIA-28> ubiquity: the action is. | |
| [19:08] <ev> ugh, I wish pylint and pychecker weren't so incredibly silly | |
| [19:08] <ev> I've nearly got pyflakes to a point where it's not outputting errors, but only by virtue of it not actually doing much | |
| [21:10] <dlyneswork> I'm just wondering if there's a specific version of ubuntu that instead of doing a warm boot (reboot into bios bootup sequence), it shuts down all services and processes, reloads the kernel, and starts everything all back up again, without ever going to the bios? | |
| [21:10] <dlyneswork> Our IT guy gave me a ubuntu burn that doesn't do a bios reboot when you issue a reboot command...that's why I'm asking | |
| [22:22] <ev> dlyneswork: please ask in #ubuntu, this channel is for installer development | |
| [22:23] <dlyneswork> Oh, ok...thought it was questions about the installer | |
| [22:23] <dlyneswork> Thanks | |
| [22:23] <ev> sure thing | |
