ub4bi'm looking for some docs to correctly preseed tasksel, most examples show 'tasksel tasksel/first multiselect' (I want sshd and samba to be included, should the value be the Task: field from the Packages file ?10:03
thomub4b: d-i     pkgsel/include          string openssh-server samba10:04
thomwill just install those packages10:04
ub4bthom: that works because they are also metapackages, but I want to make my own Tasks by defining extraoverrides using apt-ftparchive, how should I preseed these custom Tasks ?10:10
ubuntu  i want to format my Hardy to install Gutsy.how should i start.currently i am on Gutsy live cd!10:16
thomub4b: oh, no idea, sorry10:17
CIA-1partman-partitioning: cjwatson * r675 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog lib/resize.sh):10:32
CIA-1partman-partitioning: Substitute RAWMINSIZE, RAWCURSIZE, and RAWMAXSIZE variables on10:32
CIA-1partman-partitioning: partman-partitioning/new_size, so that ubiquity can set accurate bounds10:32
CIA-1partman-partitioning: on resize widgets.10:32
cjwatsonub4b: 'tasksel tasksel/first multiselect taskname taskname ...' should work fine, with taskname being a Task field, yes10:32
cjwatsonub4b: though I think you might need to tell tasksel about the new tasks too (see its source package)10:33
cjwatsonmight be easier to generate a metapackage and put it in pkgsel/include10:33
cjwatsona task is certainly *possible* though10:33
CIA-1partman-partitioning: cjwatson * r676 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 59ubuntu210:34
=== ubuntu is now known as zubu
* evand is somewhat confused by that last change. Partman already fed boundary information to ubiquity for this and it was working, no?10:47
CIA-1ubiquity: cjwatson * r2681 ubiquity/ (4 files in 3 dirs):10:47
CIA-1ubiquity: Make use of RAWMINSIZE, RAWCURSIZE, and RAWMAXSIZE variables from10:47
CIA-1ubiquity: partman-partitioning 59ubuntu2 to set accurate bounds on the resize10:47
CIA-1ubiquity: widget.10:47
cjwatsonevand: it wasn't accurate enough, unfortunately - I ran into this myself. It was basically a rounding error10:48
cjwatsonpartman just fed "5.6 GB" or whatever10:48
cjwatsonit's much better if it feeds in the actual number of bytes, and then you don't have to worry about rounding10:48
cjwatson(I think for 8.10 though; if there's an 8.04 issue, maybe just tweak the rounding to be more conservative at whichever bound was wrong)10:49
evandcjwatson: ah, that makes sense.  I don't think it's 8.04 worthy either.  I fixed the endless "too small size" dialog bug before the release, so even if they escape the actual bounds they'll just get a message13:43

tmmoyeris there any way to force the alternate/server installer to use the packages on the CD and not go to the Internet unless the package is not provided by the CD?15:10
