[11:58] <thom> oh gods
[11:59] <cjwatson> (trying to open up installer development)
[02:20] <mark> :)
[02:21] <mark> is there much need for diversification from d-i?
[02:22] <cjwatson> some, yeah; I try to keep it down
[02:22] <cjwatson> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallerDevelopment has a few examples
[02:27] <allmanj> hey - 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 ''
[02:28] <allmanj> Packages lists linux-image-386
[02:28] <allmanj> and linux-image-2.6.15.26-386
[02:29] <allmanj> the latter appears to provide linux-image which it appears is what base-installer is looking for
[02:29] <allmanj> i'm a little out of my element though. any ideas?
[02:34] <cjwatson> could I see all the syslog messages prefixed with "base-installer", please?
[02:34] <cjwatson> provides aren't important
[02:38] <allmanj> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36424/
[02:38] <allmanj> i just grepped for base-installer
[02:39] <allmanj> ah - it's the signature...
[02:39] <allmanj> i can probably fix this...
[02:44] <cjwatson> ah, yes, dapper required that
[02:44] <cjwatson> that should be fixed in edgy (though untested)
[02:44] <cjwatson> you'll need to fudge ubuntu-archive-keyring and the udeb
[02:45] <cjwatson> alternatively, you could extend the base-installer.d kludge ...
[02:45] <cjwatson> mkdir -p /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d
[02:45] <cjwatson>         cat > /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom <<EOT
[02:45] <cjwatson> APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true";
[02:45] <cjwatson> EOT
[02:45] <cjwatson> (sorry about crap indentation)
[02:46] <cjwatson> I'm not absolutely sure that that apt configuration key works in dapper, though, so you'd need to check
[02:46] <allmanj> i'll try the documented way to do the signing first...
[02:47] <cjwatson> yeah, mine is only if you want to be a crash test dummy :)
[02:53] <allmanj> fixed signing (i think). hopefully that'll do it...
[02:53] <allmanj> if not i'll trawl through the syslog myself before bothering you!
[02:56] <cjwatson> don't worry, the syslog is very verbose and sometimes I can make a more educated guess :)
[03:06] <allmanj> looks like it did the trick! booting into the system now to see if it's all good...
[03:06] <cjwatson> excellent
[03:07] <cjwatson> I really want to make sure at some point that that isn't an issue from edgy on
[03:07] <cjwatson> the signed CDs business was a bit of a mistake
[03:40] <allmanj> all looks good on this cd - that was the problem
[03:41] <cjwatson> good to hear
[07:17] <allmanj> is late_command run before users are created or something?
[07:23] <cjwatson> no
[07:23] <cjwatson> er, let me double-check
[07:25] <cjwatson> I tell a lie; in dapper it was. this was changed in Debian before edgy
[07:27] <allmanj> curses. so i'll have to use late_command to create another script to be run after the users have been made?
[08:13] <zul> hey
[10:34] <LaserJock> cjwatson: so are you around?
[10:35] <LaserJock> cjwatson: nvm, I'll catch you at a better time, just wanted to chat about ubiquity modularity
