[06:28] <cjwatson> evand: done
[06:29] <cjwatson> cr3: that usually means you forgot to preseed partman-auto/disk, or that the value you gave wasn't a valid device. In feisty it might also mean that you forgot to preseed partman-auto/method to regular.
[06:58] <meren> hi
[07:07] <cr3> cjwatson: hi! thanks for the info, I had actually found a few problems with my preseed file which prevented expert partitionning from kicking. most notably, that the partition lines weren't terminated with a backslash
[07:08] <cr3> cjwatson: I just encountered a problem a second ago with the graphical installer on herd 4: clicking on back makes the next button label become gtk-on-next or somesuch.
[07:09] <cr3> I'll be logging a bug later when I can reproduce it properly
[07:11] <cr3> cjwatson: do you think copying the desktop CD to a partition on the hard drive and then installing from that partition tests the desktop CD properly?
[07:11] <cr3> err, I mean, "booting" from that partition...
[07:17] <meren> i was looking for the file which contains the grub settings (adding other linux installations' kernels into the grub.conf etc.) in the source code of the ubuntu installer, can anyone help me to find that?
[07:20] <cr3> meren: I don't think the installer uses grub, see isolinux/isolinux.cfg
[07:22] <meren> cr3: at the end installer changes the installed systems boot managers configuration file, is that correct?
[07:23] <meren> i'm looking for that part of the code of installer :)
[07:46] <meren> ok. the location of the file that i was looking for is "d-i/packages/arch/i386/grub-installer"
[07:56] <cr3> can the preseed/ubuntu.seed be used to preseed the desktop installation?
[11:03] <evand> cjwatson: thanks!
