I'd like to ask what parameter values might be reasonable [07:50] by the way I quickly looked at choices-c but did not find much info [07:56] xivulon: http://www.fifi.org/doc/debconf-doc/tutorial.html#AEN34, see "Localizing the templates file" [07:57] I have never done this myself, hwoever [08:00] Thanks evan [08:01] What I was thinkig of doing was to extract the localized string from template.dat and set that value [08:03] So long as the questions match up, that would be nice [08:04] So we keep preseed.cfg in english but the localized values are modified during installation [08:24] erm, I thought that that value was preseedable in English [08:24] regardless of current locale [08:24] have you tried just preseeding it in English? [08:24] (I could be wrong) [08:25] the way you get a localised string at run-time is to use db_metaget whatever/the/template/name/is Description [08:25] but I'd honestly rather make that sanely preseedable if it isn't [08:25] Choices-C is one of a couple of approaches that can be used to make such things sanely preseedable [08:26] it's not the only such approach, although it might be the one that's needed in this case [08:26] cjwatson, yes we are preseeding it in english [08:26] d-i netcfg/dhcp_options select Do not configure the network at this time [08:26] right, my understanding is that that should work even if you're preseeding a different locale [08:26] have you tested that and found that I'm wrong? [08:27] when I have a different locale I am thrown to interactive mode [08:27] 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] ok, I guess I'm wrong [08:27] that's a pain in the arse [08:28] please file bugs any time you encounter such a problem, and attach the 'preseed' tag to them [08:28] I would like to just fix those [08:28] choices-c would not apply to me but to translators of netcfg, correct? [08:31] shall I file the bug in https://launchpad.net/netcfg? [08:33] it applies to developers of netcfg more than translators of netcfg, but yeah, sort of [08:33] no, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg please [08:33] argh === xivulon [i=c2325681@gateway/web/cgi-irc/ircatwork.com/x-c54fc69d06a8476c] has joined #ubuntu-installer [08:35] http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/netcfg/ubuntu/annotate/cjwatson%40canonical.com-20070427142902-4thjrljc5ugswfmo?file_id=x_Arch_Librarian_%3Carch%40canonical.com%3E_Thu_Jul_14_10%3A56%3A59_2005_27164.0 [08:41] 19:33 it applies to developers of netcfg more than translators of netcfg, but yeah, sort of [08:41] 19:33 no, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg please [08:41] xivulon: ^-- [08:44] cjwatson where do I add the [preseed] tag in malone?
