CarlFKibex alt installer log  "Oct 28 01:19:47 debootstrap: BAD signature from "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>"01:35
CarlFKthis worked yesterday.  I do go though apt-cache.  anyone know what's going on?01:35

evandxivulon: I wouldn't worry about the virus.09:05
evandIt's a scanner that I've never heard of before.  I'd be more concerned if it was Symantec.09:06
davmor2evand: I'd been more concerned if it was avg09:17
evand:)09:18
xivulonyep, I have installed that scanner (quite dodgy thing, half in polish) and when installed it did not find anything09:44
xivulonby the way same results for 8.04.1 and nobody complained :)09:51
evandwonderful09:55
davmor2Just thought if it's a new antivir.  It might not have tools for opening 7z file only zip and rar so everything else might be highlighted as a possible threat10:28
davmor2cjwatson: you fix for edubuntu on netboot may of broken it :(10:51
davmor2just trying again10:51
cjwatsondavmor2: you mean the thing that shouldn't be being tested?10:56
cjwatsondavmor2: in any case, I didn't upload my fix10:57
cjwatsonso it can't have broken anything10:57
davmor2cjwatson: Ah that would explain it, it get's stuck at 2% any way10:57
cjwatsonit's just thinking, it'll get there eventually I predict10:58
davmor2How long would you say?10:58
cjwatsondunno :)11:03
davmor2cjwatson: just done an install of kubuntu netboot along side it was on 2% for no more than 30seconds11:06
davmor2it sticks at 6% for ages and then shoots up to 22% I think so I expect that pause11:07
davmor2meh still stuck at 2%11:22
acochey guys, I'm having trouble with a package's postinst script in livecd-rootfs, basically its trying to see if /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom has been changed17:52
acocthe script calls for CUSTOMGDM=`cat $GDMCONF|grep "="|grep -v "#"`17:52
acocand if it hasn't been changed, it exits with a nonzero error17:52
acoccan apt handle |?17:53
cr3pkgsel/include looks for debs or udebs?18:13
cjwatsoncr3: dedbs18:22
cjwatsondebs18:22
cjwatsonacoc: apt has very little to do with postinst execution. That's several processes down the chain18:22
cjwatsonacoc: I need to see the whole script in order to comment18:23
cr3cjwatson: aha! so in the ubuntustudio image, what might make use of the openssh-server udeb?18:23
acoccjwatson: http://pastebin.com/m3fc791f4 - line 19 fails if gdm.conf-custom is not changed, no rush and thanks18:26
cjwatsoncr3: it's on all images, due to network-console, a customised installation mode. see the installation guide18:27
cjwatsoncr3: openssh-server-udeb is not really set up for use by anything other than network-console18:27
cr3cjwatson: interesting, I'll have a gander at the guide18:27
cjwatsonacoc: I have no idea what that thinks it's trying to achieve18:28
cjwatsonacoc: it's horribly overcomplicated for the only thing I can possibly imagine it's trying to do18:28
cjwatsonacoc: is this your code? can you explain it?18:29
cr3cjwatson: it's hardware from Intel, so we're not "certifying" it in the strictest sense of the term but it's under "enablement".18:29
cr3cjwatson: oups, nevermind that18:29
acoccjwatson: basically, if gdm config has been changed, the oz-desktop metafile will not replace the config18:29
acoccjwatson: and no it's not my code, I'm just trying to figure out why it's failing18:29
cjwatsonacoc: sure, but why would grep "=" | grep -v "#" tell you that?18:30
cjwatsonit's probably failing because it's totally wrong18:30
cjwatsonI'd just get in touch with whoever maintains that package if I were you, and get them to figure it out18:30
acoccjwatson: it's just a config file, so he was trying to strip the comments and see if anything was set (ie =)18:31
acocan unmodified file would have nothing set18:31
cjwatsonreading some tutorials on shell quoting might be a good idea ...18:31
acocpersonally, I'm learning shell scripting as I go, but besides bad looking code, is there anything wrong with what he's doing18:32
cjwatsonacoc: honestly, I don't know what the problem is, but it's far more likely to be a problem in the package than in livecd-rootfs. The Swiss Army Knife of shell debugging is 'set -x' at the top of the script18:32
acocI tried sed to do the same thing and it fails too (sed to stip comments and then grep)18:34
cjwatsonfails how?18:34
acocsame error exit 1 on postinst18:34
cjwatsonanyway, this really isn't a channel for teaching shell scripting, sorry18:35
cjwatsonexit 1 => could mean anything18:35
cjwatsonuse set -x to get an execution trace18:35
acocagreed18:35
acocalright main reason I wanted to ask here was to see if while installing there were any commands that basically couldn't be used in a postinst18:36
cjwatsonacoc: yes, but none that that script is using18:40
cjwatsonacoc: the non-zero exit might have nothing to do with that line for all you know18:41
acoccjwatson: By running it line by line I'm sure it's that line that's causing it, but I don't want to waste your time on an non installer based issue18:44
acoccjwatson: thanks for answering my question though18:45

jariassorry about my really bad english :P but we are from #EdulinuxChile a Chilean Edubuntu based distribution19:14
jariaswe are trying to reduce de ubuntu instalator steps19:14
jariasand...we are using preseed19:15
jariasthe CD was created, but it's not bootable19:15
cosfmmmm..... I don't know19:16
jariasmaybe this isn't the best tool  to do this...but we don't know any other that works19:17
jariasanyone??19:17
cjwatsonjarias: don't be so impatient, please, IRC is asynchronous19:21
cjwatsonjarias: what did you use to regenerate the .iso image file?19:21
cosfthis command ----> mkisofs -pad -l -r -J -V "CD Preseed" -o /tmp/cdpreseed.iso /var/cdpreseed19:25
jariascjwatson this is the command, cosf is part of the EdulinuxChile staff19:27
cjwatsonyou haven't given any of the options that would make it bootable19:27
cjwatsonthe command I would use (given your other options) is: mkisofs -r -V 'CD Preseed' -o /tmp/cdpreseed.iso -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /var/cdpreseed19:27
jariasexcelent! thanks cjwatson19:31
cjwatsonpersia: did you ever think of allowing passwordless sudo when passwd/allow-password-empty is set?19:35

Basti_dashwhat is the best option to modify the ubiquity steps???21:10
superm1cjwatson, unfortunately the incomplete language support is still coming up with that daily image from yesterday.  i've put a bug together about it to track (bug 290398), but i anticipate not enough time to fix in time for release now unless it's something silly about how i'm preseeding or what i'm preseeding21:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 290398 in ubiquity "Incomplete language support even with all languages preseeded" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29039821:12
Basti_dashthanks21:17
cjwatsonsuperm1: ok, thanks21:22
superm1cjwatson, also you were looking for a log regarding stuff that was getting removed consistently, i put that on bug 29040021:23
ubottuLaunchpad bug 290400 in ubuntu-meta "DVD livefs always removes java packages" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/29040021:23
cjwatsonsuperm1: ok, thanks, the reason is as predicted judging from that so we'll deal with it in jaunty21:26
superm1cjwatson, it didn't appear so glancing through install.py , but is there any preseed key I could put to prevent them from getting removed?21:27
superm1such as preseeding those packages as to stay installed?  if not, i'm thinking I might populate some hackery into an early command to make /var/lib/ubiquity/apt-installed with them listed21:28
cjwatsonI don't think you can do this from an early_command; that's run from casper and ubiquity clears out /var/lib/ubiquity/apt-installed when it starts21:29
superm1that's too bad.21:30
cjwatsonsuperm1: horrible hack alert21:30
cjwatsond-i pkgsel/language-pack-patterns string language-pack-gnome-$LL icedtea6-plugin <etc>21:31
superm1oh geez.21:31
cjwatsonit's not designed for that but would work :)21:31
superm1yeah21:31
superm1as long as it's temporary for intrepid, and works, it'll save some factory burn time.  i'll give it a shot21:32
=== ubott2 is now known as ubottu
superm1hum. this probably isn't a good sign.  choosing s-chi in oem-config isn't setting the user's account into s-chi at all w/ oem-config 1.52 or 1.53. going into language support, no default language is getting set23:30
