udit99I have a question regarding debconf-set-selections01:32
udit99im trying to check if my preseed file is valid by running sudo debconf-set-selections --checkonly xubuntu.seed01:33
udit99and it returns without an error even if the file has junk values01:33
hyei'm trying to preseed partitioning. I want to have 3 partitions, one for ext3 and mounted to / , second one for ext3 and not mounted, and third one for swap.01:39
hye d-i     partman-auto/expert_recipe      string  boot-root :: 1900 20000 100000 ext3 $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ form    at } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } .  100 10000 1000000000 ext3 $primary{ } method{ form    at } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ } .  0 1000 2000 linux-swap $primary{ } method{ swap } fo    rmat{ } .01:39
hyeif I set 2nd partition as mounted to something (ex, /srv) ,01:40
hyeit works fine01:40
hyebut I don't know how to set "Do not mount it"01:40
hyeanyone knows how to set not mounted?01:40
cjwatsonudit99: it only checks the syntax; it doesn't have enough information to check sanity of values01:42
cjwatsonhye: just remove the mountpoint{ } bit01:43
hyecjwatson: yes, i tried that, and I got msg "[Partition disks] No mount point is assigned for the ext3 file system in partition #2 ~~~~~ Do you want to return to the partitioning menu?"01:51
hyecjwatson: I was wondering if there is option like... " Mount on ", so I can select "Do not mount it"01:52
cjwatsonyou'd get that message if you selected "Do not mount it" by hand too01:58
cjwatsonpreseed 'd-i partman-ext3/no_mount_point boolean false' to get rid of it02:01
hyecjwatson: ohhhhh you are right. although I select do not mount manually, it asks me that02:03
hyethanks a lot02:03
hye:-)02:03
hyesince I was using auto partitioning with /srv (temporarily) for about a month, i completely forgot that it asked me that;02:05
hyehaha02:05
hyestupid :(02:05
hyeanyway, thanks again!02:05
cjwatsonno problem02:06
udit99:cjwatson, Im trying to germinate a seed that is in the non-free section of my local repository and it seems that germinate can't find any dependencies for that package20:00
udit99I added non-free to the sections array in germinate.py but that seems to be not enough20:01
