[01:35] <CarlFK> ibex alt installer log  "Oct 28 01:19:47 debootstrap: BAD signature from "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>"
[01:35] <CarlFK> this worked yesterday.  I do go though apt-cache.  anyone know what's going on?
[09:05] <evand> xivulon: I wouldn't worry about the virus.
[09:06] <evand> It's a scanner that I've never heard of before.  I'd be more concerned if it was Symantec.
[09:17] <davmor2> evand: I'd been more concerned if it was avg
[09:18] <evand> :)
[09:44] <xivulon> yep, I have installed that scanner (quite dodgy thing, half in polish) and when installed it did not find anything
[09:51] <xivulon> by the way same results for 8.04.1 and nobody complained :)
[09:55] <evand> wonderful
[10:28] <davmor2> Just 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 threat
[10:51] <davmor2> cjwatson: you fix for edubuntu on netboot may of broken it :(
[10:51] <davmor2> just trying again
[10:56] <cjwatson> davmor2: you mean the thing that shouldn't be being tested?
[10:57] <cjwatson> davmor2: in any case, I didn't upload my fix
[10:57] <cjwatson> so it can't have broken anything
[10:57] <davmor2> cjwatson: Ah that would explain it, it get's stuck at 2% any way
[10:58] <cjwatson> it's just thinking, it'll get there eventually I predict
[10:58] <davmor2> How long would you say?
[11:03] <cjwatson> dunno :)
[11:06] <davmor2> cjwatson: just done an install of kubuntu netboot along side it was on 2% for no more than 30seconds
[11:07] <davmor2> it sticks at 6% for ages and then shoots up to 22% I think so I expect that pause
[11:22] <davmor2> meh still stuck at 2%
[17:52] <acoc> hey 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 changed
[17:52] <acoc> the script calls for CUSTOMGDM=`cat $GDMCONF|grep "="|grep -v "#"`
[17:52] <acoc> and if it hasn't been changed, it exits with a nonzero error
[17:53] <acoc> can apt handle |?
[18:13] <cr3> pkgsel/include looks for debs or udebs?
[18:22] <cjwatson> cr3: dedbs
[18:22] <cjwatson> debs
[18:22] <cjwatson> acoc: apt has very little to do with postinst execution. That's several processes down the chain
[18:23] <cjwatson> acoc: I need to see the whole script in order to comment
[18:23] <cr3> cjwatson: aha! so in the ubuntustudio image, what might make use of the openssh-server udeb?
[18:26] <acoc> cjwatson: http://pastebin.com/m3fc791f4 - line 19 fails if gdm.conf-custom is not changed, no rush and thanks
[18:27] <cjwatson> cr3: it's on all images, due to network-console, a customised installation mode. see the installation guide
[18:27] <cjwatson> cr3: openssh-server-udeb is not really set up for use by anything other than network-console
[18:27] <cr3> cjwatson: interesting, I'll have a gander at the guide
[18:28] <cjwatson> acoc: I have no idea what that thinks it's trying to achieve
[18:28] <cjwatson> acoc: it's horribly overcomplicated for the only thing I can possibly imagine it's trying to do
[18:29] <cjwatson> acoc: is this your code? can you explain it?
[18:29] <cr3> cjwatson: 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] <cr3> cjwatson: oups, nevermind that
[18:29] <acoc> cjwatson: basically, if gdm config has been changed, the oz-desktop metafile will not replace the config
[18:29] <acoc> cjwatson: and no it's not my code, I'm just trying to figure out why it's failing
[18:30] <cjwatson> acoc: sure, but why would grep "=" | grep -v "#" tell you that?
[18:30] <cjwatson> it's probably failing because it's totally wrong
[18:30] <cjwatson> I'd just get in touch with whoever maintains that package if I were you, and get them to figure it out
[18:31] <acoc> cjwatson: it's just a config file, so he was trying to strip the comments and see if anything was set (ie =)
[18:31] <acoc> an unmodified file would have nothing set
[18:31] <cjwatson> reading some tutorials on shell quoting might be a good idea ...
[18:32] <acoc> personally, I'm learning shell scripting as I go, but besides bad looking code, is there anything wrong with what he's doing
[18:32] <cjwatson> acoc: 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 script
[18:34] <acoc> I tried sed to do the same thing and it fails too (sed to stip comments and then grep)
[18:34] <cjwatson> fails how?
[18:34] <acoc> same error exit 1 on postinst
[18:35] <cjwatson> anyway, this really isn't a channel for teaching shell scripting, sorry
[18:35] <cjwatson> exit 1 => could mean anything
[18:35] <cjwatson> use set -x to get an execution trace
[18:35] <acoc> agreed
[18:36] <acoc> alright 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 postinst
[18:40] <cjwatson> acoc: yes, but none that that script is using
[18:41] <cjwatson> acoc: the non-zero exit might have nothing to do with that line for all you know
[18:44] <acoc> cjwatson: 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 issue
[18:45] <acoc> cjwatson: thanks for answering my question though
[19:14] <jarias> hi!
[19:14] <cosf> hi!
[19:14] <Basti_dash> hi
[19:14] <jarias> sorry about my really bad english :P but we are from #EdulinuxChile a Chilean Edubuntu based distribution
[19:14] <jarias> we are trying to reduce de ubuntu instalator steps
[19:15] <jarias> and...we are using preseed
[19:15] <jarias> the CD was created, but it's not bootable
[19:16] <cosf> mmmm..... I don't know
[19:17] <jarias> maybe this isn't the best tool  to do this...but we don't know any other that works
[19:17] <jarias> anyone??
[19:21] <cjwatson> jarias: don't be so impatient, please, IRC is asynchronous
[19:21] <cjwatson> jarias: what did you use to regenerate the .iso image file?
[19:25] <cosf> this command ----> mkisofs -pad -l -r -J -V "CD Preseed" -o /tmp/cdpreseed.iso /var/cdpreseed
[19:27] <jarias> cjwatson this is the command, cosf is part of the EdulinuxChile staff
[19:27] <cjwatson> you haven't given any of the options that would make it bootable
[19:27] <cjwatson> the 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/cdpreseed
[19:31] <jarias> excelent! thanks cjwatson
[19:35] <cjwatson> persia: did you ever think of allowing passwordless sudo when passwd/allow-password-empty is set?
[21:10] <Basti_dash> what is the best option to modify the ubiquity steps???
[21:12] <superm1> cjwatson, 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 preseeding
[21:17] <Basti_dash> thanks
[21:22] <cjwatson> superm1: ok, thanks
[21:23] <superm1> cjwatson, also you were looking for a log regarding stuff that was getting removed consistently, i put that on bug 290400
[21:26] <cjwatson> superm1: ok, thanks, the reason is as predicted judging from that so we'll deal with it in jaunty
[21:27] <superm1> cjwatson, it didn't appear so glancing through install.py , but is there any preseed key I could put to prevent them from getting removed?
[21:28] <superm1> such 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 listed
[21:29] <cjwatson> I 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 starts
[21:30] <superm1> that's too bad.
[21:30] <cjwatson> superm1: horrible hack alert
[21:31] <cjwatson> d-i pkgsel/language-pack-patterns string language-pack-gnome-$LL icedtea6-plugin <etc>
[21:31] <superm1> oh geez.
[21:31] <cjwatson> it's not designed for that but would work :)
[21:31] <superm1> yeah
[21:32] <superm1> as long as it's temporary for intrepid, and works, it'll save some factory burn time.  i'll give it a shot
[23:30] <superm1> hum. 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 set
