[00:45]  * 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?
[00:47] <michael_e_brown> it is a debconf variable and google is not my friend...
[00:58] <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
[01:07] <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')
[01:08] <michael_e_brown> ah. d-i instead of oem-config? let me see...
[01:08] <michael_e_brown> nope
[01:09] <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
[04:48] <mebrown> anybody home? evand?
[04:48] <mebrown> I found that if I modify /usr/lib/oem-config/oem_config/language.py
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <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
[04:51] <mebrown> I cannot seem to get oem-config to take my changes when I use debconf-set-selection
[04:52] <mebrown> help would be appreciated as I am --> <-- this close to getting this but am missing something
[08:21] <evand> mebrown: sorry about that, I only got back in recently.
[08:22] <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

[10:44] <bAndie91> its IMPORTANT
[10:48] <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
[10:49] <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)
[10:50] <bAndie91> szerinted nem googlézok idestova egy hete miatta? te hülye!
[10:50] <bAndie91> jah! és anyád a flood!
[10:50] <stgraber> ...
[13:36] <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.
[13:49] <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.
[16:27] <mebrown> evand, ok, thanks I'll try that.
[16:28] <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.
[16:56] <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.
[16:57] <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?
