| cjwatson | btm_: you can't really configure d-i to not run partman (at least, not without a great deal of expertise and pain), but I think feisty has enough of partman-auto-lvm and friends that you should be able to preseed partman-auto/method to lvm and use lvm preseeding | 12:33 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | but I have to confess I am not familiar with the details | 12:33 |
| cjwatson | hmm, looks like it may not support multi-disk | 12:33 |
| cjwatson | ok, that sucks - um, probably the easiest way would be to blat a script over the top of /var/lib/dpkg/info/partman-base.postinst that sets up the partitioning how you want it, mounts /target, sets up /target/etc/fstab, and exits without actually calling partman | 12:34 |
| cjwatson | but "some assembly required" | 12:35 |
| xivulon | cjwatson: disregard the bug report of today | 12:45 |
| xivulon | that sounds like my hack | 12:47 |
| xivulon | except mine was worse | 12:50 |

| btm_ | the problem I'm having is finding a hook between download-installer and partman such that i can overwrite partman-base.postinst after anna-install runs. i was thinking about a udeb with a higher menu item and a postconf that would overwrite it, but it looks like that means I'll have to mangle the Packages file / Release / signatures as I don't see a way to get anna to install local udebs. | 04:34 |
| mirkobuholzer | cjwatson: you mentioned in the auto install blueprint that preseeding should work but ubiquity will not skip the pages. I am trying to preseed with debconf-set-selections mypreseed.cfg . but cant see any of my settings in the ubiquity ui. any hint? | 06:25 |
| mirkobuholzer | sorry i am a newbie, so please excuse any obvious questions... | 06:30 |
| btm_ | mirkobuholzer: any reason to not use d-i instead of ubiquity? | 08:12 |

| cjwatson | btm_: it's not pretty, but you could use a preseed/early_install script to tack something onto the end of /var/lib/dpkg/info/download-installer.postinst that actually does the work | 08:53 |
| cjwatson | mirkobuholzer: "should", but it wouldn't necessarily surprise me if it doesn't in places right now | 08:53 |
| btm_ | cjwatson: we're far beyond pretty here, here. thanks, it hadn't occured to me that udeb was pre-installed in the initrd. | 09:08 |
| cjwatson | yup, has to be :) | 09:21 |
| btm_ | haha. right. | 09:22 |

| evand | cjwatson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/Contributing . I started it while I was waiting for today's daily-live to finish downloading. Let me know if you have any comments. | 04:57 |
| evand | My idea is to walk through adding the ssh server support to Ubiquity | 04:57 |
| evand | but I now realize that a d-i component would probably be overkill for that | 04:57 |
