[14:58] 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] I back up religiously though so it was all good [14:59] heh [14:59] 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] hrm [15:00] yet it's there in dmesg, I see it in /dev/usb/disks even [15:00] maybe I should have used kernel and initrd from something beside the server iso [15:06] if you still can't get it to work, stick casper.log on a pastebin. [15:07] this is without casper [15:07] err right, sorry, still a little early here [15:08] did you try the "easy method"? [15:09] thinking about it [15:09] wherein you just cat an already prepared image [15:09] then you just have to copy the iso over [15:22] 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] nm it was because it was mounted that I couldn't resize I guess [15:48] ubiquity: evand * r2594 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog scripts/install.py): [15:48] ubiquity: * Copy the locale over to the target system when using oem-config. [15:48] ubiquity: This was previously fixed for the alternate CD in LP 181291. [15:48] Launchpad bug 181291 in oem-config "preseeded locale etc. not propagated to oem-config" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/181291 [19:24] I finally got the usb installation working :) \o/ just had to make a second partion on the stick for the iso [19:28] nice!
