[11:02] I was looking for 2 terms that don't change as versions are relased [11:03] you really don't [11:03] it's not useful [11:03] if you set it to 'unstable' (not that it exists) your box will be probably spend 70% of it's time broken [11:04] There anyway in debconf to make the requirement of one question depend on the answer of another? [11:04] And then show them all in the same db_go batch. [11:04] (I am thinking about GUI based debconf) [11:05] there may be a link from 'stable' to the current release, but you really don't want to go upgrading your whole OS wily-nily [11:06] HrdwrBoB - its forfor human comunications not machine === xTina [n=xTina@dslb-084-056-129-031.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === erUSUL [n=erusul@212.59.223.54] has joined #ubuntu-devel === erUSUL [n=erusul@212.59.223.54] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Abandonando"] [11:15] madsen: there's not too much to describe if you already know the rest of debconf; the debconf-devel(7) man page should describe everything you need, I think [11:15] wasabi: I don't understand "make the requirement of one question depend on the answer of another" === oasiao [n=damien@ip70-179-232-3.dl.dl.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:16] Kamion, Well, I have a question "Does your Kerberos 5 configuration have SRV records?" [11:16] And if not, I want to ask for two server names. === neurogeek [i=neurogee@201.211.170.95] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:16] But, on a GUI based debconf, It makes sense to display them all on one page. [11:17] wasabi: you can't do that with only one GO [11:17] Alas. [11:17] The UI is going to be pretty nasty, then. Basically little tiny questions per page. === oasiao [n=damien@ip70-179-232-3.dl.dl.cox.net] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] [11:17] you can do that *sort* of thing with clever debconf filtering - oem-config does this kind of thing [11:17] it's pretty hard to write code like that, but it's possible, providing you're willing to implement the frontend yourself [11:17] A simple dependency setting on one template for another, which the curses part ignored, but the GUI part disabled/enabled boxes with would be interesting. === propagandhi [n=pclaven@CPE-144-131-132-107.nsw.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:18] I don't think dependencies are the right model - I don't think it would be expressive enough [11:18] Hello there.. [11:18] Anyone working with Ubuntu installer?? [11:18] neurogeek: yes [11:18] Well, you see where I'm going though. The d-i GUI frontend is a bit sucky. === Mithrandir mumbles "custom templates" to Kamion and wasabi. [11:18] Since it's this huge screen. [11:18] s/templates/widgets/ [11:18] Kamion, hello.. nice meeting you [11:18] With one little question per screen. [11:18] Mithrandir: indeed [11:18] perl debconf doesn't support custom widgets yet though [11:19] cdebconf does but it's (currently) a pig to build them outside the cdebconf tree [11:19] true, but pdebconf is supposed to die a fiery death, so. :-) [11:19] that needs to be fixed sometime ... [11:19] Mithrandir: ... eventually :) [11:19] yeah. [11:19] Kamion, im from Venezuela and we are working on a Linux MetaInstaller.. i wanted to see if you guys are interested .. [11:20] wasabi: I've been hammering away trying to convince the d-i GUI people to buy into custom widgets, but they don't seem to be taking me seriously [11:20] neurogeek: what's a metainstaller? [11:20] I dunno. Custom widgets sounds Hard. [11:20] it's the right answer for much of d-i [11:20] partman in particular [11:21] Isn't that doable now? [11:21] someone has to teach me to fix bugs [11:21] wasabi: in your case, though, you could just ignore the answers to the server name questions if the boolean is false, and phrase the text appropriate [11:21] ly [11:21] brb [11:21] Simira: easy, go to bugzilla, click "resolve bug" [11:21] Kamion, A MetaInstaller is a Installer with the ability to install any Linux distribution (or HURD or BSD) we are so interested in working with Ubuntu.. we already had some perfect tests with it [11:21] With a custom partman interface for the GUI d-i which just sets debconf variables. [11:21] wasabi: the guts are there, although they're tricky to build [11:21] ANd then jumps into the normal partman logic. [11:21] wasabi: that's one option, but you end up duplicating a lot of code [11:21] Hmm. [11:22] Okay, related question. WOrking with a debconf multiselect question. [11:22] I want to display options such as "Kerberos 5", but I want to code against it easily. [11:22] neurogeek: patches always welcome, certainly [11:22] Such as "1" [11:22] or "krb5" [11:22] I can't find much of a reference about debconf multiselect. === ozamosi [n=nnnozamo@h142n6c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === zenrox [n=zenrox@71.115.209.110] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:23] Kamion, when you've got the time.. visit http://www.latinux.org/tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=8 there are some screenshot.. although they are in spanish, you can see the screens [11:23] wasabi: traditional solution is to put "krb5" in the templates file and make the English translation in en.po be "Kerberos 5" [11:23] Ahhh! [11:23] Smart. [11:23] I much prefer code to screenshots :-) [11:23] neurogeek: is it based on d-i? === wasabi writing a krb5/ldap configuration package. === wasabi which probes DNS for settings. === wasabi and properly configures pam and nss [11:24] wasabi: are you at UBZ? [11:24] Kamion, it is a Web based Installer.. it can install locally, remotely and massively [11:24] No. === ogra [n=ogra@66.103.220.239] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:24] Kamion, sorry.. d-i?? [11:24] ah [11:24] no [11:24] wasabi: you should have been, since I have the "remote authentication" bof tomorrow. [11:24] neurogeek: the Debian installer, which we use [11:24] it is not.. [11:24] Can't afford it. [11:25] Kamion, no.. it is based on Python + Javascript.. entirely from scratch [11:25] neurogeek: d-i is flexible enough to do a Hurd or BSD install using. [11:25] somebody just needs to sit down and do it. [11:25] neurogeek: I don't think we'll be shifting to a different installer, and we don't have the resources to maintain two installers, but ideas on making installers work better with derivative distributions are certainly welcome [11:26] I did a fair bit of the Hurd support for d-i a while back - I just need time to persuade the thing to boot, which is the hardest bit [11:26] (since booting into the Hurd without a hard-disk-backed root filesystem is tricky) [11:26] Mithrandir, yes.. but what about installing other Linux distros?? === ozamosi [n=nnnnozam@h142n6c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:27] neurogeek: I think that's best left to those distros' installers === ozamosi [n=nnnnnoza@h142n6c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:27] neurogeek: if they're debian-based, it's trivial. If they're not, then it's a bit more work, but certainly doable. [11:27] at any rate, I don't think it's a problem we want to try to solve in Ubuntu; others are certainly welcome to try :) [11:27] if somebody paid me enough $money||$booze, I guess I could hack it in, just for the hack value. [11:28] Kamion, Well.. thanks anyways.. I will be sending some news later on to the ubuntu list anyway to let you know we'll be doing some more work with it.. thanks a lot [11:28] in the Ubuntu installer, we need to deal with the various distributions based on Ubuntu; that's enough work for me for now, I think ;) === herzi [n=herzi@c141136.adsl.hansenet.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:28] rpm base system installation support in d-i would be good to have, for completeness [11:28] I've been toying about the idea of using d-i for opensolaris [11:28] but there are technical problems with having an installer whose infrastructure differs too widely from the distribution it's installing [11:29] you really want to build it out of the relevant distribution [11:29] Mithrandir, Kamion I now.. it just part of the goods we've try to bring.. ;) [11:29] Simple sh help: I have a string such as "krb5, ldap" and I want to execute a command once per item. [11:29] it may be easier once we move everything into the first stage rather than the two-stage system we have now [11:30] wasabi: any chance you can get the string w/o commas? [11:30] Sure. [11:30] simple sed. [11:30] wasabi: for i in $(sed -e 's/,//g') ; do $whatever; done [11:30] or IFS=", " [11:30] then just 'for i in $blah; do foo; done [11:30] Anyone working with ubuntu-live? [11:30] Hmm. Guess that works without spaces. [11:30] Akatemik: the metapackage? it's automatically generated from seed lists [11:31] I hate adjusting IFS. :-) [11:31] Kamion: I mean the project as whole [11:31] Akatemik: you're in the right channel; speak :) [11:31] I'd like someone to give me a quick tour on what happens between inserting the cd and X starting up, or pointing me to a right doc. [11:31] Hmm. Okay. ANother one. I have two lists seperated by ,. I want to union them. [11:31] Heh. [11:32] I'm planning on some quite heavy customizing, so I need to know how it works. [11:32] wasabi: foo="$bar $baz" ? [11:32] without dups. [11:32] uniq them first [11:32] Guess I could run them thru sort and uniq === steves [i=_@66-191-226-197.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel === steves [i=_@66-191-226-197.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com] has left #ubuntu-devel [] === propagandhi [n=pclaven@CPE-144-131-132-107.nsw.bigpond.net.au] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [11:34] Akatemik: the first half of it is the same as the first half of the regular Ubuntu installer (i.e. language, country, keyboard, hardware detection, network configuration) [11:34] Akatemik: after that, control is transferred to casper [11:34] probably the best answer to your question at the moment is to point you to the casper source package; you'll probably end up hacking it anyway [11:34] Kamion: It did look like it's somehow installing something and then booting on that. Which is weird for a livecd [11:35] Akatemik: ? no [11:35] I tried to look into casper, but google didn't give much. Also it doesn't seem to be in breezy universe. === neurogeek [i=neurogee@201.211.170.95] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Leaving"] [11:35] it mounts a compressed loop filesystem and transfers control to it [11:35] it's in breezy MAIN, not universe :-) [11:35] I did found it on the pool, though. [11:35] having stuff we depended on for the live CD in universe would not be allowed [11:36] 'apt-get source casper' [11:36] Well, my laptop that runs breezy doesn't show it with apt-cache, hmm... [11:36] it's not a .deb, so you won't find it with tools that acquire normal binary packages [11:36] casper | 1.18 | http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Sources [11:36] casper.dsc => casper-check.udeb + casper-udeb.udeb [11:37] Kamion: Ah [11:37] Akatemik: note that the core of the installer and the live CD both is a minimal system which installs extra stuff into itself in order to know how to do the rest of its job; that may be what you're seeing [11:37] Kamion: The weird part was when there was the ubuntu-splash and messages below it, like on a normal boot. [11:37] Oh. Great. Hmmm. === ozamosi [n=nnnnnnoz@h142n6c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:37] HMMM. Okay. Heres a question. This might not have a good answer. [11:38] I have seperated a series of debconf based scripts into 2 files in my packages, which I want to source dynamically based on answers to questions in the base .config. [11:38] Akatemik: that's because that's really what it does. [11:38] Since .config runes before unpack, is this even possible? [11:39] I guess I need to move my logic to postinst. === Simira [n=rpGirl@66.103.220.195] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Loevborg [n=loevborg@d4-84.dip.axsp.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:39] make the fragments into functions. [11:39] Trying to avoid that... but yeah, that's an answer. [11:40] Ok, I'll start looking into casper [11:40] Actually it has occured to me just now that I think I have to have these in postinst, as they use dig. [11:40] which isn't part of base. [11:40] s/base/Essential: yes/ [11:40] Kamion: Installs extra parts into itself, that explains the pool directory? [11:40] And dists [11:41] Akatemik: right [11:41] Kamion: How come the installer doesn't have all those parts "installed" by default? [11:42] wasabi: indeed, you can't rely on anything much in the filesystem in .config, save for Essential: yes packages and debconf itself [11:42] It seems like an useless level of complexity to play with debs in a livecd === Simira [n=rpGirl@66.103.220.195] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:42] Akatemik: they're not debs, they're installer components [11:42] different [11:42] we will be simplifying the live CD in dapper, though [11:43] Kamion: Just after I get the hang of the current process :) [11:43] Akatemik: the core of the installer is used in a number of different situations, which don't all use the same pieces; this system gives us more flexibility === didymo [n=ashley@CPE-61-9-197-223.nsw.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:43] Kamion: Hmm, ok. [11:43] also, it has some benefits in low-memory environments, etc. [11:43] Kamion: It would just seem that loading the cloop-image and running from there would have all the necessary components [11:43] and for maintainability - don't want to have to rebuild the core of the installer every time we change, say, the partitioner [11:43] I have noticed that "installer which installs packages into itself" breaks people's minds, while it's really sweet. [11:44] Akatemik: it does, once we get far enough to be able to load said cloop image [11:44] Kamion: Isn't cloop support in the kernel? [11:44] Akatemik: like almost everything else, it's modular [11:45] you don't want a custom kernel for the live cd. [11:45] our kernel packages spit out loop-modules-*.udeb with the relevant module === seb128 [n=seb128@66.103.220.181] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:45] Mithrandir: You don't? [11:45] or for the installer CD either. [11:45] it's not in the installer core, because it doesn't need to be in the installer core :-) [11:45] Akatemik: definitely not === bur[n] er [n=burner@c-67-173-243-73.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Simira [n=rpGirl@66.103.220.195] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:45] the big focus of doing the live CD this way was maintainability; one kernel, one hardware detection strategy, etc. [11:45] now that it's settled down, we can make it faster [11:45] Hmm. The mindset is quite different from my previous debian vs. knoppix one. [11:46] Cool. Done and works. [11:46] Using one system for both... [11:46] Akatemik: no, because then it's even more painful to maintain, and you get problems with the live cd kernel not booting on $obscure_piece_of_hardware while other kernels work. [11:46] yes, we started out with morphix and had a lot of problems with it [11:46] (but fast ;) [11:46] most of the existing live CD systems seemed to share a number of the basic problems we were encountering, so we decided to rethink it from scratch [11:46] Frankly, I have to admid that I haven't yet decided which distro I will use as the base for my project. [11:47] bur[n] er: except for the poor sod who had to spend two weeks putting together the warty live CD for just one architecture and trying to make it sort of work [11:47] alex? :) [11:47] For a start ubuntu seemed nice, because it works quite well automatically. Like knoppix, but it is so over optimized that remastering didn't seem that trivial. [11:47] with the (then) new architecture, we got three architectures for free with very little ongoing effort === Simira [n=rpGirl@66.103.220.195] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:48] bur[n] er: alex was supposed to be doing it but didn't deliver; somebody else had to step itn [11:48] in [11:48] And just before the ubuntu system seemed like overloaded with complexity :) But it might be that the system makes keeping up with releases a lot easier for me. [11:48] there is certainly a fair bit of complexity in the current system, some of which is unnecessary [11:49] I'll be the first (well, maybe second) of the responsible developers to admit that it needs work :-) [11:49] Akatemik: you've looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDCustomizationHowTo ? [11:50] Mithrandir: Yes, I've used it as a base for my project === marilize [n=marilize@66.103.220.242] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:50] Mithrandir: Without that I doubt I would have even began with ubuntu [11:50] should http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/breezy/release/ only have DVD images? [11:50] heh, 'k [11:51] CarlFK: yeah, the rest are on http://releases.ubuntu.com/breezy/ [11:51] CarlFK: there should probably be a link [11:51] Kamion: You wouldn't happen to have a mailing list or something for dapper-live, so I could follow the devel? [11:53] Akatemik: it's not split off from the rest of Ubuntu development at the moment, so just ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com [11:53] Kamion: Ok === HrdwrBoB [n=matt@bob.is.teh.admin.at.vicnet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel === Simira [n=rpGirl@66.103.220.195] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:56] Kamion: BTW, are you on x86 or all platforms? [11:56] x86, ppc, and amd64 are fully supported === zyga [n=zyga@2-mi2-1.acn.waw.pl] has joined #ubuntu-devel [11:56] there are other archs in various stages [11:57] ports.ubuntu.com [11:57] tseng: That hardly means that all the devs know about all of those... [11:58] im not sure how that is relevant [11:58] tseng: It's relevant if I want to ask Kamion ppc-questions. [11:58] meh, kamion specifically [11:58] Akatemik: I have all three [11:58] at the moment I'm on powerpc [11:59] Kamion: Great, since ppc is the one that doesn't even boot yet [11:59] what sort of powerpc, and what are you trying to boot? [11:59] I'm doing a x86/ppc hybrid livecd, and testing on an ibook [12:00] I've done a hybrid, but only once; I did get it to at least boot [12:00] x86 boots and fails when starting xdm, but goes to console so I've reached the first milestone there [12:00] I assume you know all the mkisofs options you need [12:00] I finally got bored how nobody makes hybrid livecds and began to make my own [12:00] Kamion: I think so, I use the ones given in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDCustomizationHowTo [12:01] But it gave me "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable mount root fd on unknown-block(0,1)" [12:01] before getting as far as d-i? [12:02] sounds like it can't find the initrd; did you keep all the files in the same locations relative to the root of the CD, particularly the stuff in /install/? [12:02] Kamion: Frankly I don't know. I haven't tested it myself, I had my friend on it. I have to go there physically tomorrow to speed up deving === segfault [n=segfault@ubuntu/member/segfault] has joined #ubuntu-devel [12:03] Kamion: I separated x86 and ppc into their own folder, ppc is in i-ppc [12:03] Afterwards I changed the references in yaboot.conf
