evandok, I'll see if I can cause it to crash again using that after this install with it finishes12:44

subhahi all,i have a serious problem with ubuntu installer.i have been keeping a custom local repository where i have changed the distribution name to testing & code name to etch and I am keeping my Release file (http://192.168.31.37/bosscd/dists/etch/Release) in this way.The structure is same except the dists name.But at the net installation time when i am preseeding the dists name & code name it is not taking.It is throwing errors.Not a valid releas01:15
subhae file.Codename can't found .how to solve this one?I am using netboot pkg. for pxe net installation01:15

xivuloncjwatson when you have some spare time, please consider bugs #151579 #15158003:11
xivulonThe second one I can go around with using existing code, but the first one implies a ugly workaround on my side, and I'd rather have that in if possible03:12
xivulonI'll provide the code tonight03:12
evandxivulon: did you already talk to cjwatson about which revision to use as you mentioned to me last night?03:13
xivulonit should be rev32803:13
xivulonwhich is the one on the website at the moment03:14

evandxivulon: sorry about that, compiz hates my ram.  I'm testing it now, but it seems to be taking an awful long time to get past the initrd.04:04
xivulonevand I am satisfied if you test the cdboot and can boot the CD when the bios starts from HD. Then reboot windows and try to uninstall.04:09
evandthe former works, testing the latter now04:10
evandWe should definitely revisit this at UDS.  I think the fact that it stays in the Windows bootloader after you're done using the CD is confusing, as is uninstalling it from add/remove programs, but still having an ubuntu partition if you opted to install04:14
evandperhaps you could rename the entry in grub to something like "boot Ubuntu CD"?  Just a thought.04:14
evandxivulon: ok, rebooting, uninstalling, and rebooting works as well04:18
xivulonthanks04:22
xivulonevand, I can have a script to uninstall at next windows boot, that's a good idea04:24
evandgreat04:25
xivulonAll is required is a batch file in startups, but I guess it will be post rc04:25
xivulonthe flipcoin is that if the user reboots into windows without choosing the ubuntu option, he will loose the installation, and that will be confusing too04:27
evandI think it wont be as confusing.  I imagine most people will just run wubi again to get the option back.04:29
xivulonmakes sense, I could also drop some sort of flag to signal that ubuntu was booted, but I guess it's to late for that04:30

xivulonUninstalling automatically is very easy (2 lines) but I can only change that tonight. Would it be ok to have it after rc?04:34
evandyou'd have to run that by cjwatson or a release manager.  I'd go with cjwatson as he's more familiar with this feature than the RMs are.04:35
cjwatsonI think that would be fine04:42

=== qhartman [n=qhartman@12.111.169.2] has joined #ubuntu-installer
qhartmanI am working on remastering some dapper install discs for a custom internal project. I have had success using the advice found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization on a 32-bit alt install iso. Now I am trying to get it done using a 64 bit server iso and I am having trouble with it.11:30
qhartmanEven if I make no changes to the files extracted from the ISO and simply re-burn it, I get an error about the Release file when I start the install11:31
qhartmandoes the 64-bit disc do something that is not covered in the Install CD guide above? It seems the same on the surface, but clearly it is not. Is there any way to get more detail from d-i about what specifically it doesn't like about the release file?11:31
xivuloncjwatson, evand I produced rev329 to add automatic uninstaller11:54
xivulonI saved the binary in a different place11:54
