| TheMuso | evand: Ok from the discussion I had earlier with Mario, it seems the GUI in only-ubiquity is not dropping to the user because its conditional on environment variables that don't exist in only-ubiquity mode. I'm going to have a dig to see if I can come up with a sane fix. | 01:18 |
|---|---|---|
| TheMuso | Argh! Even on the official dailies, Orca is zombifying again!! | 04:14 |
| evand | ah, SUDO_UID/GID don't exist when running in only-ubiquity mode. I should've caught that. | 05:52 |
| evand | I'll work on a fix in a few minutes. | 05:52 |
| TheMuso | evand: Ok no problem. | 05:52 |
| evand | or have you already? | 05:52 |
| TheMuso | Not yet, just attempting to play around with some ideas, but with orca zombifying, even on the official daily, I'm kinda stuck. | 05:53 |
| evand | yeah, I haven't looked yet but it's odd that it started doing that again. Nothing really changed there unless I somehow committed old code back to ubiquity-dm. | 05:54 |
| TheMuso | Yeah it is odd. | 05:54 |
| TheMuso | The log doesn't show such. I remember trying the daily after you added settings groups to ubiquity-dm, and things worked. | 05:55 |
| TheMuso | revision 2580 | 05:55 |
| TheMuso | However, changes in the surrounding environment can sometimes be enough to cause it to zombify. | 05:56 |
| TheMuso | The next daily may be fine. | 05:56 |
| evand | only another hour and a half until that. | 05:57 |
| evand | well, two counting build time | 05:58 |
| TheMuso | Yeah. | 05:58 |
| evand | is r2580 a typo? Ubiquity doesn't have that many revisions yet. | 05:59 |
| TheMuso | he probably | 06:01 |
| TheMuso | No its correct. I'm looking at ubiquity trunk. | 06:02 |
| TheMuso | brb | 06:02 |
| evand | curious | 06:02 |
| evand | oh whoops, I was on the core-dev branch. | 06:03 |
| TheMuso | haha | 06:09 |
| TheMuso | I'm happy to simply grab the fix from bzr and test in a custom iso. | 06:10 |
| evand | (currently being stalled by my fight with m-a over capb escape, but I'll get the SUDO_* fix in as soon as I'm done here) | 07:54 |
| TheMuso | no rush | 08:40 |
| tjaalton | I can't find the installation guide from either doc.u.c or help.u.c... | 09:04 |
| tjaalton | 7.10 doesn't have the link at all, and the dev version has a broken one | 09:04 |
| tjaalton | hm, I'm taking a crack at fixing bug 64147.. seems silly that 16:10 screens are not natively supported | 10:46 |
| LOWER_CASE | Hi, we have problems adding a 7.10 CD. Last two lines are E: Sub-process gpgv returned an error code (2) | 11:40 |
| LOWER_CASE | W: Signature verification failed for: /cdrom/dists/gutsy/Release.gpg | 11:40 |
| LOWER_CASE | We already have 7.04 installed, along with latest updates, and we're just trying to 'add' the CD to the repository. Is that what we should be doing? | 11:42 |

| cjwatson | I'm not sure whether it's a coreutils bug on not | 14:30 |
| cjwatson | or not | 14:30 |
| cjwatson | maybe send mail to their bug list and ask? | 14:31 |

| evand | yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Will do. | 14:31 |

| cr3_ | One of my pkgsel/include packages is returning unmet dependencies, is there a way I can get more information? I have DEBCONF_DEBUG=5, so I think I'm getting all the possible information in syslog. might it be possible to try to run a command from the busybox shell to try to reinstall the package and perhaps get more verbose output there? | 14:48 |
| cjwatson | 'chroot /target apt-get install <packages>' should do | 14:49 |
| evand | cjwatson: before I embark on this task, any objection to me modifying debconf-set-selections to include an option to use the escape capability? I can get m-a to work with spaces in the key name via escape, but wubi fails on debconf-set-selection as its not using the capability. | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | spaces in the *key* name? | 14:49 |
| cr3_ | cjwatson: ok, I tried in-target apt-get install <packages> and nothing was output | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | urk | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | cr3_: don't use in-target by hand | 14:49 |
| cjwatson | evand: can we avoid using spaces in question names? I really don't think it's a good idea ... | 14:49 |
| cr3_ | cjwatson: cheers man, I managed to get exactly what I needed to know with that chroot command | 14:50 |
| evand | cjwatson: I don't think I can remove the Windows username from the keys in question, so my options are to either use spaces or continue to replace them with a colon and have wubi carry that wart. Would you prefer the latter? | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | I think it's definitely preferable to replace them with something | 14:51 |
| evand | ok, works for me. I'll have Ago make the change and leave m-a as is. | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | So, what do we need to store in a variable template? Of course we need a | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | name to identify the template. Template names are made up of components | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | separated by the character `/' (slash). Each component is limited to | 14:51 |
| cjwatson | alphanumerics and `+' `-' `.' (plus, minus, full stop). | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/debconf_specification.txt.gz | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | in fact many templates also use _ | 14:52 |
| cjwatson | hmm, I feel a policy bug coming up; but in any case I think spaces are right out :) | 14:52 |
| evand | I can't use _ as it's a valid username character in Windows iirc. | 14:52 |
| evand | heh | 14:52 |
| evand | so you think it should be allowed in the future or explicitly disallowed? | 14:53 |
| cjwatson | _ should be allowed; space should be disallowed | 14:53 |
| evand | ah | 14:53 |
| === cr3_ is now known as cr3 | ||
| superm1 | evand, did you get a chance to follow up on the copying of the locales to the destination install? | 15:07 |
| evand | superm1: debian-installer/locale not getting copied when using oem-config? | 15:10 |
| superm1 | yeah | 15:10 |
| evand | r2594 in ubiquity | 15:11 |
| superm1 | ah great. I hadn't updated my local bzr in a few days | 15:12 |
| evand | as always, let me know if you come across any other issues | 15:14 |
| superm1 | well the other thing that came to mind - currently that last step, where is calculates packages to remove - it takes forever on the dvd image. I'm guessing because so much is preinstalled in that live fs? | 15:22 |
| evand | that would be my guess as well | 15:24 |
| superm1 | probably not for this 8.04 time frame, but for 8.10, maybe something to allow seeding the exact packages to remove instead of calculating them could be an improvement | 15:26 |
| evand | hrmm, that sounds fragile. But I'm sure we can profile that phase of the install for Intrepid | 15:27 |
| evand | profile and optimize* | 15:27 |
| superm1 | yeah that's what i was thinking | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | evand: bug 203292 is obsolete now, isn't it? | 15:33 |

| cr3 | at what point in the preseed file could I prepare the pre-pkgsel.d directory? | 16:58 |
| cr3 | I guess preseed/early_command would be appropriate | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | yes | 17:02 |
| cr3 | after /target/etc/apt/sources.list.apt-setup is moved to /target/etc/apt/sources.list, should I run apt-get update? if so, in-target or chroot if running from a script under pre-pkgsel.d? | 17:04 |
| cjwatson | pkgsel should take care of that | 17:05 |
| cr3 | would it make sense to wget a udeb in the early_command and install that? could this be cleaner in the long term than either building a script in early_command or wgeting a script? | 17:13 |
| cjwatson | that can work, but why not use anna/choose_modules=<udeb name>? | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | oh, well, only if the udeb in question was in the Ubuntu archive | 17:16 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: I could specify it under local0, that wouldn't it. the content of the udeb would then generate a script under pre-pkgsel.d to do the sources.list thing | 17:17 |
| cr3 | err, "that would do it" | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | not for udebs, no | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | wget and udpkg -i is probably better | 17:18 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: excellent, thanks, you're saving me lots of trial and error time :) | 17:18 |
| mario_limonciell | for only-ubiquity and oem-config, I think it might be sensible to disable the minimize action | 17:42 |
| mario_limonciell | people might get a bit confused if they accidentally minimize it and don't know how to get it back | 17:43 |
| evand | already done for ubiquity | 17:44 |
| mario_limonciell | ah good | 17:44 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, would you be opposed to adding a setterm -blank 0 to ubiquity's init script? setterm isn't available in the initramfs, but it is in the live filesystem | 18:04 |
| evand | not at all | 18:05 |
| mario_limonciell | okay i'll add it in | 18:05 |
| evand | much appreciated | 18:07 |

| mariodebian | I ask in mailing list last week | 21:43 |
| evand | indeed, I'm here | 21:43 |
| mariodebian | I will aks today again, thanks !!! | 21:43 |
| mariodebian | evands, can you have some time now? | 21:44 |
| evand | sure | 21:44 |
| mariodebian | oks | 21:44 |
| mariodebian | I don't speak English very well but I try to explain better I can | 21:44 |
| cjwatson | I don't see a mail from you on ubuntu-installer@ | 21:45 |
| cjwatson | perhaps you asked on some other list | 21:45 |
| mariodebian | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-installer/2008-March/000171.html | 21:45 |
| mariodebian | better read this mail | 21:46 |
| evand | ah, I missed that | 21:48 |
| evand | replying now | 21:48 |
| mariodebian | thanks ;) | 21:48 |
| mariodebian | another questin appending this mail | 21:55 |
| mariodebian | i have preseed some values but some text on ubiquity appears in English and some in Spanish | 21:55 |
| mariodebian | for example summary text is in english and some parted strings | 21:56 |
| mariodebian | ubiquity.template is full translated | 21:56 |
| mario_limonciell | evand, perusing components/console-setup.py, it appears the proper way to preseed a keyboard is not console-setup/layout and console-setup/variant, but rather console-setup/layoutcode and console-setup/variantcode correct? | 22:03 |
| cr3 | I'm installing packages from pkgsel/include and getting the error: The following packages cannot be authenticated! | 22:10 |
| cr3 | the reason is that I created the file /target/etc/apt/sources.list.apt-setup containing my own repository which is somehow not authenticated | 22:11 |
| cr3 | I guess I need to find a way to authenticate it by retrieving the key file on my site | 22:11 |
| evand | mario_limonciell: correct, but I'm investigating why preseeding those isn't working for ubiquity. | 22:14 |
| mario_limonciell | oh it's not working :S. I wasn't sure :) | 22:15 |
| evand | mariodebian: I have to run out for a few hours, I'll finish responding to this when I get back | 22:24 |
| mariodebian | oks thanks | 22:24 |
| cjwatson | cr3: there's apt-setup/local0/key or some such | 22:51 |
| cjwatson | was documented in the installation guide last I checked | 22:51 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: yeah, that's what I used to do, but now I seem to need to run apt-key because the repository is defined in sources.list.apt-setup by a pre-pkgsel.d script. no worries, I should have confirmation shortly if it worked. | 22:52 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: worked like a charm! | 23:17 |
