[01:32] <udit99> I have a question regarding sudo debconf-set-selections --checkonly xubuntu.seed
[01:32] <udit99> oops..
[01:32] <udit99> I have a question regarding debconf-set-selections
[01:33] <udit99> im trying to check if my preseed file is valid by running sudo debconf-set-selections --checkonly xubuntu.seed
[01:33] <udit99> and it returns without an error even if the file has junk values
[01:39] <hye> i'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{ } .
[01:40] <hye> if I set 2nd partition as mounted to something (ex, /srv) ,
[01:40] <hye> it works fine
[01:40] <hye> but I don't know how to set "Do not mount it"
[01:40] <hye> anyone knows how to set not mounted?
[01:42] <cjwatson> udit99: it only checks the syntax; it doesn't have enough information to check sanity of values
[01:43] <cjwatson> hye: just remove the mountpoint{ } bit
[01:51] <hye> cjwatson: 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?"
[01:52] <hye> cjwatson: I was wondering if there is option like... " Mount on ", so I can select "Do not mount it"
[01:58] <cjwatson> you'd get that message if you selected "Do not mount it" by hand too
[02:01] <cjwatson> preseed 'd-i partman-ext3/no_mount_point boolean false' to get rid of it
[02:03] <hye> cjwatson: ohhhhh you are right. although I select do not mount manually, it asks me that
[02:03] <hye> thanks a lot
[02:03] <hye> :-)
[02:05] <hye> since I was using auto partitioning with /srv (temporarily) for about a month, i completely forgot that it asked me that;
[02:05] <hye> haha
[02:05] <hye> stupid :(
[02:05] <hye> anyway, thanks again!
[02:06] <cjwatson> no problem
[20:00] <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 package
[20:01] <udit99> I added non-free to the sections array in germinate.py but that seems to be not enough
