[06:07] <jetsaredim> ugh
[06:07] <jetsaredim> anyone around?
[09:57] <evand> jetsaredim: I am now
[11:21] <mark> feisty automated, preseeded installs fully work, except the automatic selection of the (first) disk
[11:22] <mark> d-i     partman-auto/disk       string  /dev/sda
[11:22] <mark> why doesn't that work?
[11:23] <cjwatson> have you preseeded partman-auto/method?
[11:23] <cjwatson> d-i partman-auto/method string regular
[11:23] <mark> no
[11:23] <cjwatson> do so
[11:24] <mark> aha, thanks
[11:24] <mark> that won't do anything for edgy?
[11:24] <cjwatson> partman-auto/disk is then unnecessary if you only have one disk
[11:24] <mark> we usually have multiple disks, and it should select the first one
[11:24] <mark> so /dev/sda will then work, right?
[11:24] <cjwatson> yes, that's true, partman-auto/method doesn't exist in edgy (had to check)
[11:24] <mark> good
[11:24] <cjwatson> /dev/sda should be fine
[11:25] <mark> thanks
[11:25] <mark> are there any other method values?
[11:25] <mark> what does it do?
[11:26] <mark> maybe I should check the docs of 7.04 ;)
[11:28] <cjwatson> 'lvm', 'raid', or 'crypto' (that last not supported in Ubuntu yet)
[11:29] <cjwatson> probably best check the upstream docs
[11:29] <mark> cool
[11:39] <mark> Linux mint 2.6.20-15-server #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 06:22:36 UTC 2007 x86_64
[11:39] <mark> Ubuntu 7.04 auto-installed on Thu Apr 19 09:36:58 UTC 2007.
[11:39] <mark> that worked beautiful
[11:39] <mark> good work, and congratulations on the release! :)
[11:40] <mark> (has it actually been released yet? :) the site is a little unreachable)
[11:40] <cjwatson> not officially until the mail is visible on ubuntu-announce@lists
[11:40] <cjwatson> we're in final preparation
[11:40] <mark> ok
[11:40] <cjwatson> (past the point of no return, but still in flight)
[12:25] <saispo> hi cjwatson :)
[12:25] <saispo> mark: preseed feisty for automatic partition work very weel
[12:25] <saispo> s/weel/well/
[12:25] <mark> it worked well for edgy and dapper too
[12:26] <saispo> mark: for automatic harddrive detection i have some problem on edgy
[12:26] <mark> hmm that was a bit iffy yes
[12:26] <saispo> i must set /dev/hda or /dev/sda
[12:26] <mark> yeah, fortunately all our servers use /dev/sda anyway
[12:26] <mark> no ide drives anymore
[12:27] <saispo> mark: not for me, why it's a problem :-)
[12:27] <mark> dapper used devfs syntax I believe
[12:27] <mark> so you could do /dev/discs/disc0 or something like that
[12:28] <cjwatson> /dev/discs/disc0/disc
[12:28] <cjwatson> saispo: fixed in feisty
[12:28] <saispo> yep :)
[12:29] <saispo> and i'm happy :)
[04:21] <jetsaredim> evand: eh - finally able to get back
[04:21] <jetsaredim> didn't mean to sound impatient earlier
[04:22] <jetsaredim> anyhow I was looking for some more guidance on the template stuff - basically the "what's next" from what you gave me a couple weeks ago
[04:23] <jetsaredim> I'll be right back though
[07:52] <mark> hehe, the local mirror is doggggsssloooowwww right now
[11:24] <jetsaredim> evand: ping
