ubiquity: statusexplanation |
This was showing up on my Unconfirmed results. I hope you don't mind I mark it as confirmed. |
Fixed in Edgy, to be released in October 2006. I've also included this fix in the list of changes scheduled to go into the first point release of Dapper, which will probably be in August 2006. Since there are a lot of people subscribed to this bug due to duplicates, I'd appreciate it if any queries about this bug or complaints about the form of the fix were sent by private e-mail or filed as new bugs respectively.
ubiquity (1.1.0) edgy; urgency=low
* Use try/finally in install.py to ensure that PROGRESS STOP is always
called; ignore errors from PROGRESS STOP (e.g. because debconf has gone
away due to a previous error).
* Support /UNIONFS (Knoppix) as well as /rofs as the read-only filesystem
source.
* Don't require entering a full name (see
http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/os-install-experiences-part-4-ubuntu).
* GTK frontend:
- Return None from location_from_point if point is None (thanks to Chris
Moore for the idea; closes: Malone #48885).
* KDE frontend:
- Add slightly more paranoia in case getNearestCity returns None.
* Don't show hw-detect/modprobe_error, and make it non-fatal (closes:
Malone #48524).
* Make it clear in the crash dialog that you should file a new bug, not
attach your details to an existing bug.
* Add passwd and adduser dependencies from user-setup.
* Take a copy of the supplied choice map in set_keyboard_choices.
* Save tracebacks from install.py and slurp them back into the traceback
displayed if install.py exits non-zero.
* Convert to new Python policy (python-central). Install Python
modules/extensions to /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity rather than into the
public module path.
* Warn in the partitioner if you try to use XFS for /boot (closes: Malone
#47848).
* Warn in the partitioner if system filesystems are not reformatted
(closes: Malone #47046).
* Remove /usr/bin/espresso compatibility symlink.
* Use os._exit() rather than sys.exit() in the apt install progress child
process after forking, fixing a lot of strange "PROGRESS STOP" messages
in /var/log/installer/syslog and bizarre debconf exceptions. See also
Malone #53298.
* Use exceptions to communicate all failures in install.py, so that we get
more useful tracebacks.
* Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.11ubuntu1,
base-installer 1.63ubuntu2, choose-mirror 2.04ubuntu1, clock-setup
0.10ubuntu1, debian-installer-utils 1.32ubuntu1, grub-installer
1.17ubuntu1, hw-detect 1.38ubuntu1, kbd-chooser 1.29ubuntu1,
localechooser 1.20ubuntu3, partconf 1.16, partman-auto 54ubuntu1,
partman-base 90ubuntu1, partman-basicfilesystems 47ubuntu1,
partman-basicmethods 30, partman-ext3 41, partman-jfs 17,
partman-newworld 13, partman-palo 4, partman-partitioning 40ubuntu1,
partman-reiserfs 31, partman-target 42ubuntu1, partman-xfs 29,
silo-installer 1.04ubuntu1, tzsetup 1:0.10ubuntu1, user-setup
1.2ubuntu2, yaboot-installer 1.1.7ubuntu1.
* Handle move of prebaseconfig scripts to (variously) post-base-installer
or finish-install.
* Install search-path from debian-installer-utils; partman-auto needs it
now.
