| tjaalton | cjwatson: I'm merging xkeyboard-config, and I think it's no longer necessary to ship the symlinks in /etc/X11/xkb, do you agree? | 10:11 |
| tjaalton | x11-xkb-utils (former xkbutils) doesn't ship symlinks there anymore, and the tools use the new path | 10:13 |
| cjwatson | please keep them to simplify upgrades from dapper until after hardy | 10:21 |
| tjaalton | ok | 10:22 |
| mathiaz | Hi :) - what's the option in the preseed file to enable an sshd server during instllation in hardy ? | 17:37 |
| mathiaz | and also remote syslogging | 17:38 |
| evand | I imagine it's something like d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install openssh-client-udeb | 17:39 |
| evand | but I'm not sure if that's exactly correct | 17:39 |
| mathiaz | evand: openssh-client ? or openssh-server ? | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | no, I think you're looking for network-console | 17:41 |
| cjwatson | see the installation guide, under "Using the Ubuntu Installer" / "Using Individual Components" / "Miscellaneous" | 17:41 |
| cjwatson | oh, and to use it by default, setting anna/choose_modules to network-console should do it | 17:42 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: is the installation guide for gutsy on help.u.c ? | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | remote syslogging is missing at present; Matt Proud at Google was working on it, and I have some back mail on the subject to review | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: no, but IIRC feisty's will do; otherwise install the installation-guide-i386 package and you can have it locally | 17:43 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: ah... thanks. | 17:43 |
| evand | ah, I misread. Sorry about that. | 17:43 |
| mathiaz | hum... network-console is used to manually install over ssh. | 17:45 |
| cjwatson | yes, is that not what you asked for? | 17:45 |
| mathiaz | What I'd like to do is to use preseed to automate the installation | 17:45 |
| mathiaz | and if something goes wrong, I'd like to be able to ssh into the box to debug it | 17:46 |
| cjwatson | hmm, that's not really available | 17:46 |
| cjwatson | short of network-console | 17:46 |
| cjwatson | you can install openssh-server-udeb in the same way as network-console above, but it won't be configured, so you'll need to set up a configuration file in a preseed file | 17:47 |
| mathiaz | hum... I have access to the boxes via a remote serial console server | 17:48 |
| mathiaz | but I haven't figured out how to switch to another console over the remote serial console | 17:48 |
| mathiaz | so when something goes wrong, I just see the installation interface. | 17:49 |
| mathiaz | IIRC I can use ALT-F2 to switch to another console during installation and debug stuff. | 17:49 |
| mathiaz | Is there an alternate way to open a second console during installation time ? | 17:50 |
| cjwatson | back up to the main menu and select "execute a shell" | 17:51 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: ah.. that should work for me then - thanks :) | 17:52 |

| danp | hi | 21:21 |
| danp | i'm trying to create a preseed setup where i use an early_command script to set networking parameters | 21:22 |
| danp | but it doesn't seem to be working. in my script, i source confmodule and use db_set for the relevant netcfg/* things. i've tried messing with it quite a bit and the installer still tries DHCP | 21:23 |
| danp | my preseed file and early script are at: http://glueless.net/preseed/ | 21:27 |
| CIA-8 | partman-auto-loop: evand * r38 partman-auto-loop.ubuntu/ (3 files in 2 dirs): | 21:58 |

| CIA-8 | partman-auto-loop: * Added template required by autopartition-loop. | 21:58 |
| evand | I'm not sure I did that merge properly. I merged with lupin-support, but removed some of the changes with the intention of reviewing them with xivulon when he's around. | 22:00 |
| === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson | ||
| cjwatson | danp: are you using network preseeding? | 23:36 |
| cjwatson | danp: if so, the early_command (and indeed the entire preseed file) is processed after netcfg ... | 23:36 |
| danp | no, i'm using hd-media | 23:37 |
| danp | my script is definitely run before the DHCP stuff comes up on the console (because if it errors out it stops the process before that) | 23:37 |
| danp | i was cancelling the DHCP attempt and then using one of the consoles to see if my things got set | 23:38 |
| danp | it seemed hit and miss. am i missing something? | 23:39 |
| cjwatson | ok, obviously a bit more complicated; I'd like to help you now but I have to go to bed or my wife is going to get irritated :) | 23:43 |
| cjwatson | could you post the syslog from the running installer somewhere as well? | 23:43 |
| cjwatson | and ideally either send e-mail to ubuntu-installer@lists.ubuntu.com, or stay on this channel, so that I can get back to you | 23:44 |
| cjwatson | you can extract the syslog using the "Save debug logs" entry on the installer's main menu | 23:44 |
