| foonux | Hello all | 01:48 |
|---|---|---|
| foonux | Anyone here happen to be familar with the initrd for the hd-media archive for gutsy? | 01:49 |
| foonux | I want to modify it in order to recognize Ubuntu Studio 7.10 .iso so I can boot the iso from a usb stick | 01:50 |
| foonux | Apparently the installer provided in hd-media uses a 2.6.20 kernel whereas the UbuntuStudio iso uses a 2.6.22 kernel thus I get kernel-module error because the modules don't match. | 01:51 |
| twb | What does oem-config-prepare actually *DO*? | 12:35 |
| twb | I'm trying to work out how to call it in the preseed.conf's post-install, but it seems to desperately yearn for X. | 12:36 |
| cjwatson | twb: gutsy? call oem-config-prepare --quiet | 18:28 |
| cjwatson | it's just trying to display a message. should probably check $DISPLAY | 18:28 |
| twb | No message actually appears | 18:28 |
| cjwatson | twb: use --quiet | 18:30 |
| CIA-20 | oem-config: cjwatson * r381 oem-config/ (debian/changelog oem-config-prepare): * Check $DISPLAY before trying to run zenity or kdialog. | 18:30 |
| michael_e_brown | evand, cjwatson... I'm done with our installation development and have handed everything over to our real 'factory' guys. Thanks for all your help with automatic-ubiqutity. | 18:30 |
| michael_e_brown | I have a couple notes: | 18:31 |
| michael_e_brown | first: d-i pkgsel/include | 18:31 |
| michael_e_brown | does not work in preseed with automatic-ubiquity. | 18:31 |
| cjwatson | pkgsel/include won't work in ubiquity, no | 18:31 |
| cjwatson | add stuff to your livefs instead | 18:31 |
| cjwatson | or call apt-install in a late_command | 18:31 |
| michael_e_brown | yeah, neither of those work for us... | 18:32 |
| michael_e_brown | actually, maybe apt would. | 18:32 |
| michael_e_brown | not sure, havent tried. | 18:32 |
| michael_e_brown | but the 'goal' of my installation work this round was to use *unmodified* livecd/dvd images | 18:32 |
| michael_e_brown | and only use preseed file. | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | apt-install should work fine | 18:33 |
| michael_e_brown | we got around it by just copying the debs and running dpkg -i | 18:33 |
| michael_e_brown | could that be 'fixed' for HH? | 18:33 |
| cjwatson | we don't use pkgsel so I don't really think it's appropriate to pretend to | 18:33 |
| michael_e_brown | since it seems to install packages just fine for language support, could possibly use same mechanism | 18:33 |
| michael_e_brown | ok. I'll test out using 'apt' | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | that's what apt-install does! | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | should work, it's used internally by the installer | 18:34 |
| michael_e_brown | had been not using 'apt' due to the 'it tries to use network' issue | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | pkgsel/include would just be a convenience wrapper | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | and would use the exact same mechanism | 18:34 |
| michael_e_brown | but I 'fixed' that by removing the network stuff from sources.list. | 18:35 |
| cjwatson | we have a session scheduled here at UDS to fix the network problems | 18:35 |
| michael_e_brown | ok. I think I'm good for that issue. | 18:35 |
| michael_e_brown | next issue: | 18:35 |
| michael_e_brown | need to get text mode install for HH | 18:35 |
| michael_e_brown | we ran into bunch of misc video issues. | 18:35 |
| michael_e_brown | basically, using xforcevesa and then fixing up in firstboot (oem-config) | 18:35 |
| michael_e_brown | patched /etc/init.d/oem-config to run dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive xserver-xorg | 18:36 |
| michael_e_brown | before starting x. | 18:36 |
| michael_e_brown | already have a lp open for that issue. | 18:36 |
| michael_e_brown | next issue: the UUID support added to make live cd not detect "old" image on HDD works well... | 18:37 |
| michael_e_brown | need one tweak: | 18:37 |
| cjwatson | I'm in a session at UDS and talking in RL right now | 18:37 |
| michael_e_brown | ok. | 18:37 |
| cjwatson | so it's difficult to follow this as well ... | 18:37 |
| cjwatson | sorry :-0) | 18:37 |
| cjwatson | er, :-) | 18:37 |
| michael_e_brown | I"ll email. | 18:37 |
| cjwatson | thanks, I think that would be better | 18:37 |
| cjwatson | otherwise you get shortest-possible-response-with-half-my-brain which is not ideal :) | 18:38 |
| twb | cjwatson is a large argument in Ubuntu's favour, IMO. | 18:40 |
| cjwatson | I'm flattered but I am just one man ;-) | 18:45 |
