AnRkeyhi all05:07
AnRkeyI am working on a VM that I need to give out and I want to know how I can get the repository chooser part of the setup to run. I want to supply a vm with every already setup and allow the user to choose a repository easily.05:09
cjwatsonAnRkey: I'm afraid it's not currently possible to run choose-mirror/apt-setup outside the installer; it might be easier just to direct the user to synaptic05:28
AnRkeycjwatson, gonna have to write a script then :(05:34
AnRkeyjust did not wanna do the work if it was already done05:35
AnRkeythanks anyway05:35

TheInfinityhello ... I was sent from #ubuntu+1 ... i have an strange error in installation from tribe5 alternate cd. installation failes while configuration of packages09:09
TheInfinitywhile it is at 6% and ther stands "please wait". installing a console only system works09:09
TheInfinitymd5 sum of the iso is correct, testing the cd after burning also makes no error09:10

cjwatsonTheInfinity: please boot with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer as a kernel boot parameter (press F6 at the CD boot menu to edit the boot parameters), run through the installation until you reproduce the bug, extract /var/log/syslog from the installer (Alt-F2, 'anna-install openssh-client-udeb', and scp it somewhere convenient)09:51
cjwatsonTheInfinity: file a bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+filebug and then attach that syslog after you've filed it09:52
cjwatsonTheInfinity: and ideally tell me the bug number since I get too much bug mail to be able to read all of it in a timely fashion09:52
TheInfinityhow can i view syslog in alternate cd installer?09:52
cjwatsonI'd rather you just copied it out as I directed and sent it to me in a bug09:52
cjwatsonbut 'nano -v /var/log/syslog'09:52
cjwatsonit may not be terribly useful without DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer though09:53
cjwatson(may not be terribly useful with it either, but I can always hope)09:53
TheInfinityhae i access to ftp to get the files away?09:53
cjwatsonno. scp09:54
TheInfinityalso ok09:54
cjwatsonftp is just about possible but is a lot more fiddly09:54
TheInfinityi'll test it09:55
cjwatson'udpkg -i /cdrom/pool/main/n/netkit-ftp/ftp_*.deb' ought to give you an ftp client if absolutely necessary09:56
TheInfinityno i have also ssh / scp09:56
