[02:07] <IntuitiveNipple> Anyone familiar with Alternate CD, debootstrap issues? specifically how/where release codename is set?
[04:36] <avoine> IntuitiveNipple: the release and the codename AFAIK are in the package lsb-release
[04:39] <IntuitiveNipple> avoine: Thanks... I've since discovered the root-cause of the issue, and hacked the d-i installer script on the CD
[04:39] <avoine> ok
[04:40] <IntuitiveNipple> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/143958    which leads to the issue I was also trying to solve. Solving the first one means the 2nd one doesn't occur :)
[04:51] <avoine> IntuitiveNipple:  the bug happen when the cdrom drive is in a IEEE1394 bus?
[04:51] <IntuitiveNipple> Yes, on 3 notebooks so far and I've seen this in the past on other systems too but never had a chance to or the inclination to fix it
[04:52] <IntuitiveNipple> I'm just running a fresh install with the patch, and it seems to be doing ok (at the installing base system stage now)
[04:54] <IntuitiveNipple> The patch might want modifying so instead if happening as part of the normal iteration, it only kicks in if no match has been found after all devices have been iterated... that'd be better - but it works!
[04:54] <IntuitiveNipple> s/if/of/
[05:01] <avoine> ok
[05:02] <IntuitiveNipple> It's looking good... installer is trying to set up video now, no more problems (I hope!)
[05:06] <avoine> cool
[05:42] <IntuitiveNipple> Can anyone tell me what is on-screen or expected when the Alternate CD install  ejects the CD? (working blind here!)
[08:32] <CIA-18> ubiquity: superm1 * r2255 ubiquity/ (5 files in 4 dirs): make sure all nvidia drivers are installable
[10:05] <cjwatson> can I ask that everyone with ubiquity commit access should commit only beta-critical items from now until Friday, please
[10:05] <cjwatson> it will make it easier to get beta-critical things in without having to mess about with branches
[10:05] <cjwatson> you can make a branch for anything which isn't targeted at beta
[10:07] <cjwatson> superm1: could you please back out r2255, except for the syntax error fix in scripts/mythbuntu/apply-drivers? it creates a big translation diff which I don't want to have to deal with at this point
[10:07] <cjwatson> superm1: it can go back in after beta
