| allmanj | hey - i'm continually forgetting this so this time i'll make a note. If i want to stop an install from rebooting after it finishes, there's a kernel option i can pass, right? | 11:59 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | just don't preseed prebaseconfig/reboot_in_progress or finish-install/reboot_in_progress (as applicable); it doesn't reboot noninteractively unless you preseed that | 12:13 |
| allmanj | on a dapper system? | 12:48 |
| allmanj | actually, i have preboot_in_progress set | 12:48 |
| allmanj | i'll try switching that off - thanks! | 12:48 |
| cjwatson | prebaseconfig/reboot_in_progress on dapper IIRC | 12:53 |
| allmanj | seems to be the one all right. type note? is that right? (seems odd) | 12:57 |
| allmanj | running an install now to see if that'll stop it | 12:57 |
| cjwatson | yes, it's a note template | 01:10 |
| cjwatson | preseeding it has the effect of indicating that you've already "seen" the note and thus it shouldn't be displayed again | 01:10 |
| allmanj | gotcha, but i thought that was normall done with seen? anyway - it worked a charm! | 01:22 |
| cjwatson | you can do it with seen too, but it doesn't make any difference with notes because there's no relevant value involved | 01:24 |
| cjwatson | the ability to preseed just the seen flag postdates ordinary value+seen preseeding | 01:24 |
| cjwatson | and it's mostly just used for preseeding something but then setting the seen flag to false again | 01:25 |
| === allmanj nods slowly | ||
| cjwatson | (i.e. set a default) | 01:25 |
| allmanj | yes, i think i follow that | 01:25 |
| allmanj | that's what i've been using it for | 01:25 |
| allmanj | didn't really see the distinction but i think i get you now | 01:25 |
| cjwatson | preseeding does have the (arguable) flaw that it makes a lot more sense if you're familiar with debconf | 01:26 |
| cjwatson | it was designed by the author of debconf, and it shows :) it's a low-level facility in some ways | 01:26 |
| allmanj | yeah, it's not always obvious - but it does appear to work nicely when it works! | 01:30 |

| evand | I posted an announcement for m-a to -discuss. Hopefully the mailman admins will get my drop request before it's posted there too. | 02:32 |
