cmdlnI am remastering an ubuntu install cd. I cant seem to find the setting that causes that graphical language selection to pop up16:36
cmdlnCan anyone point me to it?16:36
cmdlnno one knows where that lanuguage popup menu is defined on the install cds?16:54
evandcmdln: are you referring to the language popup on the CD bootloader or the language selection page of the installer itself?17:34
cmdlnthe language popup on the cd bootloader17:51
cmdlni found if i empty out langlist it is much smaller containing only the default lang17:52
cjwatsoncmdln: it's in the gfxboot-theme-ubuntu source package18:14
cjwatsoncmdln: if you create an /isolinux/lang file on the CD with the language code you want to be the default, then as of 8.04 it won't pop up the menu18:16
cmdlnah thanks18:19
cmdlnthat worked perfectly18:19
CIA-1ubiquity: cjwatson * r2748 ubiquity/ (82 files in 3 dirs):18:28

CIA-1ubiquity:  - Make "Details" string on summary page translatable (LP: #190491).18:28
giosue_cI've got a question for anyone out there who might be able to help.  I built my own ISO recently with cdimage and everything works great until the system is actually installing.  Then debootstrap gets mad and tells me something about chroot and failing to mount /proc.  Any ideas what my installer might be missing?  this is a hardy xubuntu-alternate installer I've built.18:36
cjwatsonfull syslog etc.18:37
cmdlnwhats cdimage?18:40
cmdlndidnt realize there was a tool to remaster ... ive been writing my own scripts18:41
crispinhi all, I'm wondering, is it known that "extract-debootstrap" doesn't seem to do what it should (or rather running the command manually that it runs doesn't do what you think it does)?18:46
cjwatsoncrispin: what's it failing to do?18:46
crispinthe "tar xOf" doesn't actually extract the 'hardy' file as it is just a symlink18:47
crispinyou get an empty file out the other side18:47
crispindebian-cd happily continue on later, but probably isn't checking the CD correctly18:47
cjwatsonhmm, I think you're right, yes18:48
cjwatsonadd an -h, I suppose18:48
crispinthat doesnt work either18:48
* cjwatson mumbles18:48
crispinI had to hack things to extract the gutsy file18:48
crispin(I'm creating a custom installer cd)18:48
crispin(for ZXTM :-) )18:49
=== Daviey_ is now known as Daviey
cjwatsonyeah, it's zero-size on antimony too18:49
cjwatsonalways wondered when that would morph into a full OS ;-)18:49
crispinour appliances are based on debian at the moment, I'm just converting it to hardy18:50
crispinI have been able to remove lots of hacks which is nice18:50
crispinalthough I never quite got tasks working with a custom installer, but solved that by not using pkgsel udeb18:50
crispinanother thing I found is that the current installer disks use the -19 kernel, but the udebs are only in proposed, is that intentional ?18:51
cjwatsonprobably need to grab ubuntu/indices/override.foo and feed it to apt-ftparchive18:51
cjwatsonthe -19 udebs are in -security and -updates18:52
cjwatsonit is a little weird that dists/hardy/ uses those, I'll grant you, but that was because the previous version there was completely broken :-(18:52
cjwatsoneveryone was being bitten by bug 23448618:52
* cjwatson beats up tar18:53
crispinare the -19 udebs new in -security ? I'm sure I looked earlier in the week and they weren't there, but I see they are now18:54
crispin(hopefully one more hack I can remove)18:54
cjwatsonthey are - they actually have been all week, one thing that may have been biting you is that they incorrectly weren't in -updates18:54
crispinahh, maybe thats what I was looking at18:54
crispinthanks18:55
cjwatson(this was the result of a mad hack needed to work around a Launchpad bug which the admin in question forgot about and left off half-way)18:55
crispinlol18:55
cjwatsonI think the only way to fix this extract-debootstrap bug is to extract the whole udeb and copy just the bit we need18:55
cjwatsonI'll look at it, thanks - in the meantime, as you say, it isn't fatal18:56
crispinand one last thing - the list2src doesn't look in security / updates / universe / multiverse - I suppose that that just isn't needed by you guys?18:56
cjwatsonright18:58
cjwatsonthe patch is probably fairly obvious, I'd be happy to take it18:58
crispindo you care about keeping the contrib / non-us stuff ?18:59
cjwatsonhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/25217118:59
cjwatsonI've kept it elsewhere18:59
giosue_c_cmdin: cdimage isn't a remastering tool.  it is for building the ubuntu images from scratch.  Check out the project page in launchpad.  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage19:00
cjwatsonprobably best to be consistent19:00
cmdlnah19:00
crispinok, I'll knock up a patch and send it over sometime next week19:00
cjwatsonta19:00
cjwatsonyou probably want restricted as well (missing from your list above)19:01
crispinyeah, right19:01
cjwatsoncombinatorial explosion :(19:01
crispinheh19:01
* cjwatson hits whoever suggested the name 'multiverse'. Oh wait. He pays me19:01
crispinbtw, how should I have given debian-cd the task lists so that it can set up the tasks correctly in the Packages files ? That was something I just couldn't work out19:03
crispinoh, nm, looks like the "evil hack" in tools/scanpackages (requiring germinate-to-tasks) which we don't use - I'll just continue not using the pkgsel installer package :-)19:16
giosue_c_cjwatson: i'm looking at cdimage run-germinate script and wondering how come the --components switch specifies only main.19:37
giosue_c_aren't there some things that are in universe and restricted?19:38
giosue_c_gotta run.  be back latr19:47
