[00:45] * michael_e_brown hopes he can ask this question in a way that doenst sound too ignorant [00:45] how do I set the value of languagechooser/language-name? [00:47] it is a debconf variable and google is not my friend... [00:58] I've never used that pastebin thing, so here's a paste: [00:58] # debconf-get-selections --installer | grep languagechooser [00:58] d-i languagechooser/language-name-ascii select English [00:58] d-i languagechooser/language-name-fb select English [00:58] d-i languagechooser/locale string [00:58] d-i languagechooser/language-name select English [00:58] d-i languagechooser/language-name-latin select English [01:07] BagOfMostlyWater, I tried to use debconf-set-selections [01:07] and I can see in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat that it is set [01:07] but oem-config is still pulling out 'English' from somewhere (when I set it to 'Spanish') [01:08] ah. d-i instead of oem-config? let me see... [01:08] nope [01:09] I ran: [01:09] echo "oem-config languagechooser/language-name string Spanish" | debconf-set-selections [01:09] and that looks like it works by inspecting config.dat [04:48] anybody home? evand? [04:48] I found that if I modify /usr/lib/oem-config/oem_config/language.py [04:49] near the end of run() [04:49] where it says self.frontend.set_language(current_language) [04:49] and just hardcode the localized language, it works as I expect [04:50] looking earlier in the function, it looks like it is trying to get languagechooser/language-name from debconf [04:50] and looks like it sets current_language based on that [04:51] I cannot seem to get oem-config to take my changes when I use debconf-set-selection [04:52] help would be appreciated as I am --> <-- this close to getting this but am missing something [08:21] mebrown: sorry about that, I only got back in recently. [08:22] 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 [09:30] hi ! [09:31] how can i install ubuntu without cdrom or network? [09:31] its important [09:41] hi ! [09:41] how can i install ubuntu without cdrom or network? [09:41] its important [10:06] hi ! [10:06] how can i install ubuntu without cdrom or network? [10:06] its important [10:25] hi ! [10:25] how can i install ubuntu without cdrom or network? [10:25] its important [10:34] hi ! [10:34] how can i install ubuntu without cdrom or network? [10:34] its important [10:44] hi [10:44] how can i load an iso image (install cd) on hdd with grub?????? [10:44] its IMPORTANT [10:48] 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 [10:49] 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] (using syslinux and not grub though) [10:50] szerinted nem googlézok idestova egy hete miatta? te hülye! [10:50] jah! és anyád a flood! [10:50] ... [13:36] 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. [13:49] 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. [16:27] evand, ok, thanks I'll try that. [16:28] 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. [16:56] evand, that worked. [16:56] evand, I'm still curious why it wasnt working when I did it after booting into the OS. [16:57] Also, I need to figure out how to set keyboard, but can probably just inspect the code now... [16:57] anybody know what keyboard should be default for Chinese?
