mark:)02:20
markis there much need for diversification from d-i?02:21
cjwatsonsome, yeah; I try to keep it down02:22
cjwatsonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment has a few examples02:22
allmanjhey - i followed the customizing the install cd instructions about playing with apt-ftparchive but the installer keeps complaining about a lack of an installable kernel. The syslog talks about GET base-installer/kernel/override-image and GET base-installer/kernel/image-2.6 and then says "Found kernels ''02:27
allmanjPackages lists linux-image-38602:28
allmanjand linux-image-2.6.15.26-38602:28
allmanjthe latter appears to provide linux-image which it appears is what base-installer is looking for02:29
allmanji'm a little out of my element though. any ideas?02:29
cjwatsoncould I see all the syslog messages prefixed with "base-installer", please?02:34
cjwatsonprovides aren't important02:34
allmanjhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36424/02:38
allmanji just grepped for base-installer02:38
allmanjah - it's the signature...02:39
allmanji can probably fix this...02:39
cjwatsonah, yes, dapper required that02:44
cjwatsonthat should be fixed in edgy (though untested)02:44
cjwatsonyou'll need to fudge ubuntu-archive-keyring and the udeb02:44
cjwatsonalternatively, you could extend the base-installer.d kludge ...02:45
cjwatsonmkdir -p /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d02:45
cjwatson        cat > /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom <<EOT02:45
cjwatsonAPT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true";02:45
cjwatsonEOT02:45
cjwatson(sorry about crap indentation)02:45
cjwatsonI'm not absolutely sure that that apt configuration key works in dapper, though, so you'd need to check02:46
allmanji'll try the documented way to do the signing first...02:46
cjwatsonyeah, mine is only if you want to be a crash test dummy :)02:47
allmanjfixed signing (i think). hopefully that'll do it...02:53
allmanjif not i'll trawl through the syslog myself before bothering you!02:53
cjwatsondon't worry, the syslog is very verbose and sometimes I can make a more educated guess :)02:56
allmanjlooks like it did the trick! booting into the system now to see if it's all good...03:06
cjwatsonexcellent03:06
cjwatsonI really want to make sure at some point that that isn't an issue from edgy on03:07
cjwatsonthe signed CDs business was a bit of a mistake03:07
=== allmanj nods
allmanjall looks good on this cd - that was the problem03:40
cjwatsongood to hear03:41

allmanjis late_command run before users are created or something?07:17
cjwatsonno07:23
cjwatsoner, let me double-check07:23
cjwatsonI tell a lie; in dapper it was. this was changed in Debian before edgy07:25
allmanjcurses. so i'll have to use late_command to create another script to be run after the users have been made?07:27
