CIA-3os-prober: TheMuso * r222 ubuntu/ (3 files in 3 dirs): merge from Debian 1.2800:08
=== davmor2 is now known as davmor2_lunch
_rubenwhat would be the 'best' starting place for learning to do proper preseeding? i read the parts on it in the serverguide, but no success yet13:52
evand_ruben: the installation guide.  sudo apt-get install installation-guide-i386 and then open /usr/share/doc/installation-guide-i386/en/index.html13:54
cjwatsonspecifically appendix b13:56
_rubeni read the online version at h.u.c13:56
_rubenbut for some reason it didnt work as expected .. guess i'll hafta dive into some logfiles13:57
CIA-3console-setup: cjwatson * r80 ubuntu/debian/ (19 files in 2 dirs): merge from Debian 1.2814:00
=== davmor2_lunch is now known as davmor2
_rubenis there some log i could check to see which question did get preseeded according to the installer?14:04
_ruben"successfully loaded preseed file..." is all i could find sofar14:05
evandboot with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer14:07
_rubeni might go and setup a proper pxe env first before diving further into this .. currently testing by booting from cd14:10
_rubenheh .. now my the preseed file i tested with earlier actually does work as expected .. odd ;)14:30
_rubennow to figure out how to use the network mirror instead of the cd/iso as install source14:31
_rubenprobably requires the use of the netboot installer files14:31
CIA-3console-setup: cjwatson * r81 ubuntu/Keyboard/KeyboardNames.pl: automatic update of KeyboardNames.pl from xkb-data14:39
CIA-3console-setup: cjwatson * r82 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.28ubuntu114:40

evandwhat on earth: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/29249314:56
ubottuLaunchpad bug 292493 in usb-creator "usb startup disk failed to unmount /cdrom when change partition tables" [Undecided,New]14:56
superm1perhaps he tried to install to another partition on the same key14:58
evandah, that could very well be it.  Thanks14:59
evanderm, actually.  partman will prevent that by default.15:00
persiaIndeed.  That was one of the most noticeable last-week changes in ubiquity for me : no longer selecting /dev/sda as the default drive if that happened to be the install USB stick.15:01
evandIt's very difficult logic to allow you to install to an unused partition on the installation medium15:02
superm1and generally requires some annoying preseeds :)15:03
CIA-3console-setup: cjwatson * r83 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.28ubuntu1 (to jaunty this time!)15:04
superm1evand, oh that reminds me, did you get a chance to look at the 3 diffs i proposed for usb-creator?15:05
evandI'm actually going through all the usb-creator bugs and branches today as I have an OpenWeek session on it at 2pm.  So I have not had a chance yet, but I will get to them today.15:06
superm1alright, thx15:06
_rubenheh .. using a kickstart file in addition to my preseed file named my box 'kickseed' :p15:17
_rubenthat'll be tomorrow's challange .. time to call it a (work)day now15:18

cr3is there a way to have a preseed install updates from the proposed repo during the installation process?16:10
cjwatsonyes! :-)16:12
cjwatsonapt-setup/proposed=true16:12
cr3cjwatson: wow, you've have thought of everything!16:12
* cjwatson likes being able to say yes16:12
cjwatsoncr3: I did so in response to a bug you filed: bug 18177616:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 181776 in net-retriever "Installer should support retrieving packages from -proposed" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18177616:13
cjwatsonso I'm not sure I can claim credit for forethought here ;-)16:13
cr3cjwatson: that grabs from mirror/http/hostname rather than local0 repository, right?16:13
cjwatsoncr3: it has the effect of turning on -proposed for mirror/http/hostname; for local0, you control the sources.list line yourself so you can just add -proposed if you want that16:15
cr3cjwatson: thanks a lot, I will probably be trying out -proposed this week16:20
cjwatsonyeah, I was talking with Henrik about that an hour ago so was expecting that16:28
CIA-3lilo-installer: cjwatson * r431 ubuntu/debian/ (27 files in 2 dirs): merge from Debian 1.2916:46
CIA-3lilo-installer: cjwatson * r432 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.29ubuntu116:50
superm1is there a preseed that would prevent networking (Network Manager) from even being activated when using a desktop disk that I can't seem to find?16:52
cjwatsonnot short of late_command16:54
superm1well i'm a bit worried that if there is a newer kernel available in -updates while someone runs a recovery16:55
superm1it's an unexpected variable to add to the mix16:55
superm1I suppose in that case, can apt-setup/use_mirror be preseeded to False?16:58
superm1or will that not have the same effect?16:58
CIA-3usb-creator: evand * r55 usb-creator/ (3 files in 2 dirs):18:16
CIA-3usb-creator: * Specify the filesystem type when mounting iso9660 images.18:16
CIA-3usb-creator: * Warn the user when usb-creator cannot mount an image (LP: #287753).18:16
