| cr3 | would it make sense for preseeding to automatically determine the disk device, assuming there is only one disk, instead of having to specify the disk explicitly: d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda | 04:03 |
| cjwatson | cr3: it does, if you also preseed partman-auto/method. | 04:07 |
| cjwatson | partman-auto (62ubuntu3) feisty; urgency=low | 04:08 |
| cjwatson | partman-auto (62ubuntu3) feisty; urgency=l * auto.d/initial_auto: If partman-auto/method is preseeded and | 04:08 |
| cjwatson | partman-auto/disk is not but there is only one disk, act as though | 04:08 |
| cjwatson | partman-auto/disk had been preseeded to that disk. This simplifies a | 04:08 |
| cjwatson | number of preseeding scenarios that had been complicated by the removal | 04:08 |
| cjwatson | of devfs path support. | 04:08 |

| cr3 | cjwatson: cheers! how did you get that information into the channel? | 04:09 |
| cr3 | if it's just a copy and paste, where did you copy from? | 04:09 |
| cjwatson | you've seen changelogs before, haven't you? | 04:12 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: it looked like it but, for some reason, it looked more like a feature request. sorry for the stupid question :/ | 04:13 |
| cjwatson | no, it's | 04:13 |
| cjwatson | just the partman-auto changelog | 04:13 |
| cjwatson | (modulo irssi paste damage) | 04:13 |
| cr3 | that is very cool, intel will be very pleased to hear about it | 04:13 |
| cjwatson | 'd-i partman-auto/method string regular' is the other piece of the puzzle for normal setups (as opposed to lvm or what-have-you). They probably have that already | 04:14 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: how can I know the values supported by partman-auto/method? I remember having to specify "regular" during feisty, but I didn't quite understand why. | 04:14 |
| cjwatson | see the installation guide | 04:15 |
| cjwatson | except that crypto is not yet supported in Ubuntu | 04:15 |

| cr3 | cjwatson: when I only specify "d-i partman-auto/method string regular" without "d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda", I get prompted to partition disks. I guess I will read the installation guide more carefully | 06:06 |

| cjwatson | wow, the wubi build system runs on Unix with WINE | 06:13 |
| cjwatson | need to have NSIS installed though | 06:13 |
| evand | hahaha | 06:13 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: so partman-auto-method string regular doesn't seem to be picking up the only disk on the system, I'm about to send you the syslog and partman files | 06:14 |
| evand | what even possessed you to try that? | 06:14 |
| === superm1 [i=malimonc@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| cjwatson | cr3: ok | 06:16 |
| cjwatson | evand: I didn't try it, I was curious about where we would start with including wubi on the CDs and went to look ... | 06:16 |
| evand | ah | 06:17 |
| cjwatson | looks like it has a bunch of code for allocating disk images that can be replaced by partman-auto-loop now | 06:17 |
| evand | nice | 06:17 |
| cjwatson | well, once I get fuse and ntfs udebs done and such | 06:18 |
| cjwatson | cr3: that syslog shows four disks | 06:20 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: but the installer doesn't prompt me to select on which disk I want to install, it only offers to partition sda | 06:27 |
| cjwatson | I never said there was UI for that :) | 06:28 |
| cjwatson | oh, er, wait | 06:28 |
| === cjwatson rereads | ||
| cjwatson | cr3: what if you select "Guided - use entire disk"? you didn't in the logs you sent me | 06:29 |
| cjwatson | the auto-resize thing only ever offers freed space on one selected disk | 06:30 |
| cjwatson | you'll never get multiple "Guided - resize <blah> and use freed space" options | 06:30 |
| cjwatson | the partitioner has certainly noticed the existence of the other disks though | 06:30 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: thanks for the explanation, I had assumed from the UI that there was only one disk but I should've paid more attention to the log file. that'll learn me | 06:33 |
