| admin123 | I noticed that the installer configures X automatic, how can I reinvoke it? | 11:14 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:15 |
| cjwatson | if you want it not to ask lots of questions, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 11:15 |
| admin123 | cjwatson, the progressbar worked fine, thanks in advance | 11:30 |
| admin123 | cjwatson, how did the installer configure it? | 11:31 |
| admin123 | I read something about debxconf ? some file in x11-common? | 11:31 |
| admin123 | dexconf... | 11:32 |
| cjwatson | it just installs the xserver-xorg package (among many others) which configures it all by itself in its maintainer scripts | 11:32 |
| cjwatson | dexconf is involved somewhere in the middle of all that | 11:32 |
| cjwatson | progress bar> great! | 11:32 |
| admin123 | We have amd systemes which have SIS chipets and intel systems which have Via chipsets. I was wondering how well X autoconfiguration is implented. for example: dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive -pcritical xserver-xorg dosn't modify my configuration, when I put a via cipset driver on a nv driver it still remains standing on the nv driver instead of chaning it. | 01:35 |

| mark | would it be easy to make the installer always automatically save the debug logs (http)? | 02:42 |
| mark | that would be very convenient in a number of cases | 02:42 |
| cjwatson | I'd rather not do that by default; I'd get complaints from people on insecure networks | 02:44 |
| cjwatson | might be possible to implement a boot option to do it though | 02:44 |
| cjwatson | file a bug on, er, I guess save-logs? | 02:44 |
| cjwatson | actually, the source package is installation-report | 02:45 |
| mark | of course not by default | 02:46 |
| mark | but it's no problem for us | 02:46 |
| mark | there's nothing secret in our logs | 02:46 |
| mark | so it's not easily possible through preseeding or early_command script? | 02:48 |
| cjwatson | you might be able to do it by calling /var/lib/dpkg/info/save-logs.postinst, or possibly pieces of it | 02:49 |
| cjwatson | and preseeding save-logs/menu | 02:49 |
| mark | alright, I will look into it | 02:49 |
| cjwatson | (web) | 02:49 |
| mark | yes | 02:49 |
| cjwatson | one tricky bit | 02:49 |
| cjwatson | you probably have to do it after network configuration, otherwise the httpd won't bind to the right network interface? | 02:50 |
| mark | yes | 02:50 |
| mark | but early_command is run after network config anyway | 02:50 |
| mark | in our case | 02:50 |
| mark | the preseed files are on the network | 02:50 |
| mark | actualy early_command reruns network config, but I can easily start this after that bit | 02:50 |
| cjwatson | true, if you're using preseed/url | 02:50 |
| mark | thanks! | 02:50 |
| cjwatson | I think for making it a standard bit of d-i it should probably be done at the end of netcfg | 02:51 |
| cjwatson | anyway, back to the weekend :) | 02:51 |
| mark | enjoy | 02:51 |
| mark | it's working :) | 03:10 |
