[08:13] <poningru> quick question
[08:13] <poningru> the help options during install seems to have changed a lot
[08:14] <poningru> as in the options from f1 do not seem to work
[08:14] <mdke> "during install"?
[08:14] <poningru> yeah the splash screen comes up
[08:15] <poningru> and there is a f1 help option
[08:15] <mdke> ah. Don't know anything about that
[08:15] <poningru> hmm do you know who I can bug about that?
[08:15] <poningru> that needs to be updated not sure if thats -doc realm or some other fiefdom
[08:16] <mdke> filing a bug is generally the usual way
[08:16] <poningru> kk
[08:16] <poningru> thanks
[08:16] <poningru> against usplash? or ...?
[08:16] <poningru> which package?
[08:16] <mdke> you mean the options on boot, right? not usplash
[08:17] <poningru> yeah
[08:17] <poningru> I'll look through the packages try to find the right one
[08:17] <mdke> not sure what package
[08:18] <poningru> yeah thanks though for the help
[08:18] <poningru> :)
[08:18] <mdke> you can ask cjwatson or Mithrandir about that
[08:22] <poningru> hmm will do if I fail to find the package
[08:31] <crimsun> it's not usplash
[08:31] <crimsun> did you press F6 first?
[08:36] <poningru> crimsun: hmm?
[08:37] <poningru> what do you mean?
[08:37] <poningru> before pressing f1? or before inputting the boot options?
[08:37] <poningru> obviously on the latter and not sure on the former
[08:50] <crimsun> poningru: yes, before pressing F1
[08:54] <poningru> hmm let me see
[08:55] <poningru> nope same
[09:01] <crimsun> where are you having problems entering boot params?
[09:02] <poningru> crimsun: are you in -devel?
[09:02] <poningru> see for example I dont want edgy to probe for usb
[09:02] <poningru> in the f1 help menu it says just do 'live debian-installer/probe/usb=false'
[09:02] <poningru> but ofcourse that does not work
[09:03] <poningru> throwing errors like root= not specified etc.
[09:03] <poningru> so I tried just debian-installer/probe/usb=false appended on to the end after all the other params
[09:03] <poningru> nope still no go
[09:05] <poningru> and I tried nousb and for whatever reason that does not work
[09:13] <crimsun> yes, that would appear to be a bug
[09:13] <crimsun> sorry, I'm in office hours right now, so I can't respond immediately

[11:34] <mdke> crimsun: you know if flashplugin-nonfree is broken in Dapper? it won't download the plugin for me
[11:35] <mdke> crimsun: firefox seems to have downloaded it ok though
[11:35] <crimsun> mdke: I suspect all versions prior to 9 final are awry
[11:36] <crimsun> for those, I suppose you can hope for the new backport of feisty's f-n
[11:36] <mdke> crimsun: hmm. Dapper has ii  flashplugin-no 7.0.63.3ubuntu Macromedia Flash Player plugin installer
[11:37] <crimsun> mdke: there's very little benefit for us to troubleshoot that one; there are known vulnerabilities, and upstream doesn't support it.
[11:38] <mdke> crimsun: *shrug*, I won't stay with dapper for long, but I know it's supposed to be supported for 3 years
[11:39] <crimsun> mdke: I can't even download 7.0.6x from Adobe.
[11:40] <mdke> crimsun: grr. doing a backport to -updates is out of the question I suppose?
[11:40] <crimsun> I could look into a version for -updates that spits out a message regarding the version in backports, I suppose.
