| * michael_e_brown hopes he can ask this question in a way that doenst sound too ignorant | 00:45 | |
| michael_e_brown | how do I set the value of languagechooser/language-name? | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| michael_e_brown | it is a debconf variable and google is not my friend... | 00:47 |
| BagOfMostlyWater | I've never used that pastebin thing, so here's a paste: | 00:58 |
| BagOfMostlyWater | # debconf-get-selections --installer | grep languagechooser | 00:58 |
| BagOfMostlyWater | d-i languagechooser/language-name-ascii select English | 00:58 |
| BagOfMostlyWater | d-i languagechooser/language-name-fb select English | 00:58 |
| BagOfMostlyWater | d-i languagechooser/locale string | 00:58 |
| BagOfMostlyWater | d-i languagechooser/language-name select English | 00:58 |
| BagOfMostlyWater | d-i languagechooser/language-name-latin select English | 00:58 |
| michael_e_brown | BagOfMostlyWater, I tried to use debconf-set-selections | 01:07 |
| michael_e_brown | and I can see in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat that it is set | 01:07 |
| michael_e_brown | but oem-config is still pulling out 'English' from somewhere (when I set it to 'Spanish') | 01:07 |
| michael_e_brown | ah. d-i instead of oem-config? let me see... | 01:08 |
| michael_e_brown | nope | 01:08 |
| michael_e_brown | I ran: | 01:09 |
| michael_e_brown | echo "oem-config languagechooser/language-name string Spanish" | debconf-set-selections | 01:09 |
| michael_e_brown | and that looks like it works by inspecting config.dat | 01:09 |
| mebrown | anybody home? evand? | 04:48 |
| mebrown | I found that if I modify /usr/lib/oem-config/oem_config/language.py | 04:48 |
| mebrown | near the end of run() | 04:49 |
| mebrown | where it says self.frontend.set_language(current_language) | 04:49 |
| mebrown | and just hardcode the localized language, it works as I expect | 04:49 |
| mebrown | looking earlier in the function, it looks like it is trying to get languagechooser/language-name from debconf | 04:50 |
| mebrown | and looks like it sets current_language based on that | 04:50 |
| mebrown | I cannot seem to get oem-config to take my changes when I use debconf-set-selection | 04:51 |
| mebrown | help would be appreciated as I am --> <-- this close to getting this but am missing something | 04:52 |
| evand | mebrown: sorry about that, I only got back in recently. | 08:21 |
| evand | mebrown: I'm taking a look at the problem as a whole now, I'll let you know in the morning whether I've made any progress | 08:22 |

| stgraber | you could first stop flooding this channel, it doesn't help ..., then, it's weekend and most of the people usually here are away from their computer | 10:48 |
| stgraber | you may want to check on google one of those USB flashdisk Ubuntu which is IIRC the content of an ISO image on a USB device, this should work with usb hdd too | 10:49 |
| stgraber | (using syslinux and not grub though) | 10:49 |
| bAndie91 | szerinted nem googlézok idestova egy hete miatta? te hülye! | 10:50 |

| evand | mebrown: `echo "d-i languagechooser/language-name string Chinese (Simplified)" | debconf-set-selections` in the oem prepare environment worked for me, though this doesn't work from the preseed file as that value gets wiped. I'll play around with it some more after some sleep/breakfast. | 13:36 |
| evand | to clarify, if I do that in the oem prep stage, it's carried over to the next boot and oem-config starts off with Chinese (Simplified) selected and the interface translated as such. | 13:49 |
| mebrown | evand, ok, thanks I'll try that. | 16:27 |
| mebrown | evand, I was trying to run 'oem-config' on already-installed system and it wasnt working when I tried the same thing. I can try this really quick, though. | 16:28 |
| mebrown | evand, that worked. | 16:56 |
| mebrown | evand, I'm still curious why it wasnt working when I did it after booting into the OS. | 16:56 |
| mebrown | Also, I need to figure out how to set keyboard, but can probably just inspect the code now... | 16:57 |
| mebrown | anybody know what keyboard should be default for Chinese? | 16:57 |
