[05:07] <AnRkey> hi all
[05:09] <AnRkey> I 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.
[05:28] <cjwatson> AnRkey: 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 synaptic
[05:34] <AnRkey> cjwatson, gonna have to write a script then :(
[05:35] <AnRkey> just did not wanna do the work if it was already done
[05:35] <AnRkey> thanks anyway
[09:09] <TheInfinity> hello ... I was sent from #ubuntu+1 ... i have an strange error in installation from tribe5 alternate cd. installation failes while configuration of packages
[09:09] <TheInfinity> while it is at 6% and ther stands "please wait". installing a console only system works
[09:10] <TheInfinity> md5 sum of the iso is correct, testing the cd after burning also makes no error
[09:51] <cjwatson> TheInfinity: 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)
[09:52] <cjwatson> TheInfinity: file a bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+filebug and then attach that syslog after you've filed it
[09:52] <cjwatson> TheInfinity: 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 fashion
[09:52] <TheInfinity> how can i view syslog in alternate cd installer?
[09:52] <cjwatson> I'd rather you just copied it out as I directed and sent it to me in a bug
[09:52] <cjwatson> but 'nano -v /var/log/syslog'
[09:53] <cjwatson> it may not be terribly useful without DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer though
[09:53] <cjwatson> (may not be terribly useful with it either, but I can always hope)
[09:53] <TheInfinity> hae i access to ftp to get the files away?
[09:54] <cjwatson> no. scp
[09:54] <TheInfinity> also ok
[09:54] <cjwatson> ftp is just about possible but is a lot more fiddly
[09:55] <TheInfinity> i'll test it
[09:56] <cjwatson> 'udpkg -i /cdrom/pool/main/n/netkit-ftp/ftp_*.deb' ought to give you an ftp client if absolutely necessary
[09:56] <TheInfinity> no i have also ssh / scp
