[14:58] <agile> evand, thanks for the tip to the installation guide yesterday while I was trying to get a usb stick ready to do server installs. I ended up making the classic mistake of doing exactly what it said and wrecked my laptop's sda1 partion :)
[14:58] <agile> I back up religiously though so it was all good
[14:59] <evand> heh
[14:59] <agile> after following the installation instructions in 4.3 though, I still end up with the same results where after I boot from the usb stick it can't mount the cdrom (there isn't one) so I got to a console and try to mount the usb stick and it says mount failed: no such device..
[15:00] <evand> hrm
[15:00] <agile> yet it's there in dmesg, I see it in /dev/usb/disks even
[15:00] <agile> maybe I should have used kernel and initrd from something beside the server iso
[15:06] <evand> if you still can't get it to work, stick casper.log on a pastebin.
[15:07] <agile> this is without casper
[15:07] <evand> err right, sorry, still a little early here
[15:08] <evand> did you try the "easy method"?
[15:09] <agile> thinking about it
[15:09] <evand> wherein you just cat an already prepared image
[15:09] <evand> then you just have to copy the iso over
[15:22] <agile> I don't understand the easy way because the boot img it points to using creates a 16M filesystem so there's not enough space to copy an iso and (since it's vfat?) I don't think I can resize it
[15:25] <agile> nm it was because it was mounted that I couldn't resize I guess
[15:48] <CIA-24> ubiquity: evand * r2594 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/install.py):
[15:48] <CIA-24> ubiquity: * Copy the locale over to the target system when using oem-config.
[15:48] <CIA-24> ubiquity:  This was previously fixed for the alternate CD in LP 181291.
[15:48] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 181291 in oem-config "preseeded locale etc. not propagated to oem-config" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/181291
[19:24] <agilista> I finally got the usb installation working :) \o/ just had to make a second partion on the stick for the iso
[19:28] <evand> nice!
