evandHrm, we still have the problem of whether or not we let the user modify user details in between pages if we move usersetup after migrationassistant.06:34
evandonly instead of having the problem of whether or not they can edit the user pulled from usersetup in the migrationassistant page, it's the other way around.06:35
=== evand thinks he should've addressed this at UDS.

mptevand, are these symptoms of the problem that we let you migrate multiple user accounts, but we don't let you set up multiple user accounts any other way?09:09
mptThat seems quite odd to me09:09
evandI don't follow.  Should I rephrase the problem?09:10
evandoh hold on09:10
evandI apparently can't see red09:10
evandNot really, if I understand what you're saying.  It's the fact that we have two separate pages essentially writing to the same data.  So if I make a change to that data (a user's fullname or password) it either needs to be changed for both or only be able to be changed in one.09:12
evandFor example, if I set up a few accounts in migration assistant, and then I get to user setup and pick one of those users, should I be able to change that user's fullname or password from user setup after I've already established it in migration-assistant?09:13
evandmpt, so yes, I suppose it is a symptom of that09:26
evandupon giving it more thought, that is09:26

securebootsee #paste for my partman preseed section04:01
securebooti try to select disc0, the first disc partman knows about, as mentioned in the preseed page04:01
securebootbut I'm still asked the question "Erase entire disc"04:01
securebootthoughts?  from the discussion yesterday, it seemed like it should be obvious from https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html, but it hasn't been so far04:03

cjwatsonyou say "disc0" - but in 6.10 that's not the naming scheme any more06:09
cjwatson/dev/discs/disc0/disc no longer exists06:09
cjwatsonyour references to #paste don't really help unless I happen to be there at the time; a web pastebin like paste.ubuntu-nl.org would be better06:10
secureboothttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1325/07:01
securebootso the 6.10 preseed contents guide is wrong07:02
cjwatsonoh, yeah, that's a bug07:04
=== cjwatson goes to fix
cjwatsonhmm, I think that URL is out of date with respect to what's in edgy07:06
cjwatsonI'll chase mdke about that07:06
cjwatsonin any case, the current version as in the installation-guide-i386 package in edgy is better; it says /dev/sda (in the SCSI case) instead of /dev/discs/disc0/disc07:07
cjwatsonyou can't really preseed partman-auto/init_automatically_partition, but if you get the partman-auto/disk preseed right, that won't matter07:10
cjwatsonyou don't need to preseed partman-partitioning/confirm_copy07:12
cjwatsonthe rest looks fine07:12
cjwatsonat some point I should make the code that handles partman-auto/disk actually throw up an error question if you feed it something it doesn't recognise, so that it's easier to catch this sort of thing07:13
securebooti'm assuming /dev/hda in the non-SCSI case07:36
securebootthe last big issue i've got then - "No installable kernel found in the defined APT sources".  I haven't overridden the mirror or anything in the preseed, nor have i removed packages from the CD.07:39
securebooti have this line in my script:07:40
securebootos.system("cat " + build_directory + "/dists/" + ubuntu_codename + "/main/binary-" + architecture + "/Packages | perl -e 'while (<>) { chomp; if(/^Package\:\s*(.+)$/) { $pkg=$1; } elsif(/^Task\:\s(.+)$/) { print \"$pkg\tTask\t$1\n\"; } }' >> " + indicies_directory + "/override." + ubuntu_codename + ".extra.main")07:40
securebootwhich is from the example script in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization07:40
securebootnot having that in gave me this error a long time ago, but now it's coming back07:41
securebootthoughts?07:41
securebootand with /dev/hda, i still have to pick "Erase entire disk" manually08:06
