| xivulon | Hi cjwatson, hi evand | 07:07 |
| xivulon | Just wondering if there is anything you may require in the short term re lupin/wubi | 07:08 |
| evand | xivulon: I don't believe so, but thank you for asking | 07:40 |
| xivulon | there was one issue I forgot to mention last time | 07:43 |
| xivulon | we noticed that users do hard boot more often than they should | 07:44 |
| xivulon | hard boots are not tolerated too well in a nested file system | 07:44 |
| xivulon | since data loss of the host fs can result in journal corruption | 07:44 |
| xivulon | I was thinking about mounting all virtual disks with sync | 07:45 |
| xivulon | and possibly tuning /proc/sys/vm/dirty_* to limit damage | 07:45 |
| evand | xivulon: I see no reason not to, but cjwatson might want to comment | 07:48 |
| xivulon | do you know any fs expert? I'd like to ask what parameter values might be reasonable | 07:50 |
| xivulon | by the way I quickly looked at choices-c but did not find much info | 07:50 |
| evand | xivulon: http://www.fifi.org/doc/debconf-doc/tutorial.html#AEN34, see "Localizing the templates file" | 07:56 |
| evand | I have never done this myself, hwoever | 07:57 |
| xivulon | Thanks evan | 08:00 |
| xivulon | What I was thinkig of doing was to extract the localized string from template.dat and set that value | 08:01 |
| evand | So long as the questions match up, that would be nice | 08:03 |
| xivulon | So we keep preseed.cfg in english but the localized values are modified during installation | 08:04 |
| cjwatson | erm, I thought that that value was preseedable in English | 08:24 |
| cjwatson | regardless of current locale | 08:24 |
| cjwatson | have you tried just preseeding it in English? | 08:24 |
| cjwatson | (I could be wrong) | 08:24 |
| cjwatson | the way you get a localised string at run-time is to use db_metaget whatever/the/template/name/is Description | 08:25 |
| cjwatson | but I'd honestly rather make that sanely preseedable if it isn't | 08:25 |
| cjwatson | Choices-C is one of a couple of approaches that can be used to make such things sanely preseedable | 08:25 |
| cjwatson | it's not the only such approach, although it might be the one that's needed in this case | 08:26 |
| xivulon | cjwatson, yes we are preseeding it in english | 08:26 |
| xivulon | d-i netcfg/dhcp_options select Do not configure the network at this time | 08:26 |
| cjwatson | right, my understanding is that that should work even if you're preseeding a different locale | 08:26 |
| cjwatson | have you tested that and found that I'm wrong? | 08:26 |
| xivulon | when I have a different locale I am thrown to interactive mode | 08:27 |
| cjwatson | http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/09/msg00369.html describes the Choices-C facility; you really only need to know about it if you're writing d-i code | 08:27 |
| cjwatson | ok, I guess I'm wrong | 08:27 |
| cjwatson | that's a pain in the arse | 08:27 |
| cjwatson | please file bugs any time you encounter such a problem, and attach the 'preseed' tag to them | 08:28 |
| cjwatson | I would like to just fix those | 08:28 |
| xivulon | choices-c would not apply to me but to translators of netcfg, correct? | 08:28 |
| xivulon | shall I file the bug in https://launchpad.net/netcfg? | 08:31 |
| cjwatson | it applies to developers of netcfg more than translators of netcfg, but yeah, sort of | 08:33 |
| cjwatson | no, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg please | 08:33 |
| cjwatson | argh | 08:33 |

| xivulon | cjwatson, I am testing the localization issue in preseed, but it seems fine on my machine | 11:45 |
| btm_ | where can I configure d-i to not run partman such that I can perform a multi-disk/lvm configuration for a preseed pxe install? | 12:01 |
