| cr3 | tepsipakki: I seem to be getting some weird preseeding behavior and I suspect it is because my preseed url contains '?' and '&' | 12:05 |

| cr3 | here are a couple interesting lines from my syslog: | 12:05 |

| cr3 | so, instead of using cgi params, I'll try to use the PATH_INFO variable as positional arguments | 12:31 |

| cjwatson | tepsipakki: yeah, joeyh did it following a quick chat on IRC | 11:07 |
| cjwatson | needs a d-i rebuild though | 11:07 |

| danbe | quite a few people here:) that's what you get when you advertise in the weekly news ;-P | 06:22 |
| cjwatson | I didn't, not intentionally :-) But I didn't object either ... | 07:19 |
| cjwatson | (I advertised to mailing lists, and UWN picked it up) | 07:19 |
| === cr3 [n=marc@pdpc/supporter/bronze/cr3] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| danbe | ya, technically | 08:35 |
| cjwatson | cr3: the problem isn't with ? or &, but with =; if you try to use = in a kernel command line argument like key=foo=bar, the kernel breaks that up into an environment variable called "key=foo" set to "bar", which isn't what you expect | 09:32 |
| cjwatson | cr3: so you have to avoid = in the preseed URL | 09:32 |
| === cjwatson -> pub, good luck :) | ||
| cr3 | cjwatson: thanks for the explanation, I had already solved the problem using the PATH_INFO environment variable | 09:33 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: in addition to solving the problem, it makes the url shorter so I have more space for kernel arguments | 09:33 |
