cjwatsonevand: looking at https://beta.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/93197 - shouldn't 'set_os_type $line' be 'set_os_type "$line"'? $line might well contain spaces and needs to be quoted08:48
cjwatsonevand: also seems like it wouldn't hurt to have set_os_type return 1 if it's an unknown OS type and then do 'set_os_type "$line" || continue' or similar in calling code08:49

saispocjwatson: does ubuntu installer support pgp key with passphrase ?12:00
cjwatsonshould be irrelevant, the installer isn't signing anything, only verifying12:02
cjwatsonverification doesn't need passphrase input, unless you're doing something truly weird12:03
saispooki, thanks12:03

cr3after installing in OEM mode, would there be a way to preseed questions asked to the enduser?01:51
cr3for example, if an OEM is selling machines in a country which only has one language, there would be little reason to prompt the user for language01:51

cjwatsoncr3: not at present. Haven't we had this conversation before?01:58
cjwatsonyes, we have, last Tuesday02:00
cr3cjwatson: wow, I need to keep better logs of my conversations02:00
cr3cjwatson: aha! I remember that the outcome of the conversation was that the OEM team should formalize their request to make it happen. I'll write them an email right away02:02

cr3how can I debug the desktop installation? I'm attempting to install from nfs and the nfs mounted squashfs seems to start failing at "Starting GNOME Display Manager...", so I'd like to get some more details.08:13
cjwatsonthat's not the installer at that point so best not asked here08:16
cjwatsonif squashfs is dying you would probably be best asking the kernel team for help08:16
cjwatsonseeing as we employ the squashfs author and all that08:16
cr3cjwatson: the problem is most likely that the gnome display manager is affecting the network which where the squashfs is being nfsmounted. so, I made sure /etc/network/interfaces only contained lo information but that didn't seem to help.08:18
=== saispo [n=saispo@ryu.zarb.org] has joined #ubuntu-installer
cr3I'll see if I can enable xtrace in the gnome display manager init script08:18
cjwatsonthat seems an odd inference and would surprise me if true08:19
cjwatsonbut at any rate, please not here08:19
cr3something installer related then :) I managed to get the nfs part of the installer working with a couple minor patches wihch I submitted to the right people, thought you might like to know :)08:26
cjwatsoncould you point me to those patches?08:27
cjwatsonI would have expected it to need new components08:27
cr3cjwatson: they were sent directly to lifeless and tfheen, upon lifeless' request. I'll forward the message to you if you like08:28
cjwatsoner - that's not the installer08:28
cjwatsoncasper is not the installer, it's the live CD bootstrap process08:29
cjwatsonnot bothered about it, I thought you meant d-i :)08:29
cr3ah, my mistake, thanks for pointing that out: booting != installer :)08:29
cjwatsonthe installer begins when you (a) boot d-i or (b) select the "Install" icon on the desktop. :)08:30
