[00:08] <CIA-3> os-prober: TheMuso * r222 ubuntu/ (3 files in 3 dirs): merge from Debian 1.28
[13:52] <_ruben> what would be the 'best' starting place for learning to do proper preseeding? i read the parts on it in the serverguide, but no success yet
[13:54] <evand> _ruben: the installation guide.  sudo apt-get install installation-guide-i386 and then open /usr/share/doc/installation-guide-i386/en/index.html
[13:56] <cjwatson> specifically appendix b
[13:56] <_ruben> i read the online version at h.u.c
[13:57] <_ruben> but for some reason it didnt work as expected .. guess i'll hafta dive into some logfiles
[14:00] <CIA-3> console-setup: cjwatson * r80 ubuntu/debian/ (19 files in 2 dirs): merge from Debian 1.28
[14:04] <_ruben> is there some log i could check to see which question did get preseeded according to the installer?
[14:05] <_ruben> "successfully loaded preseed file..." is all i could find sofar
[14:07] <evand> boot with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer
[14:10] <_ruben> i might go and setup a proper pxe env first before diving further into this .. currently testing by booting from cd
[14:30] <_ruben> heh .. now my the preseed file i tested with earlier actually does work as expected .. odd ;)
[14:31] <_ruben> now to figure out how to use the network mirror instead of the cd/iso as install source
[14:31] <_ruben> probably requires the use of the netboot installer files
[14:39] <CIA-3> console-setup: cjwatson * r81 ubuntu/Keyboard/KeyboardNames.pl: automatic update of KeyboardNames.pl from xkb-data
[14:40] <CIA-3> console-setup: cjwatson * r82 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.28ubuntu1
[14:56] <evand> what on earth: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/292493
[14:58] <superm1> perhaps he tried to install to another partition on the same key
[14:59] <evand> ah, that could very well be it.  Thanks
[15:00] <evand> erm, actually.  partman will prevent that by default.
[15:01] <persia> Indeed.  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.
[15:02] <evand> It's very difficult logic to allow you to install to an unused partition on the installation medium
[15:03] <superm1> and generally requires some annoying preseeds :)
[15:04] <CIA-3> console-setup: cjwatson * r83 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.28ubuntu1 (to jaunty this time!)
[15:05] <superm1> evand, oh that reminds me, did you get a chance to look at the 3 diffs i proposed for usb-creator?
[15:06] <evand> I'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] <superm1> alright, thx
[15:17] <_ruben> heh .. using a kickstart file in addition to my preseed file named my box 'kickseed' :p
[15:18] <_ruben> that'll be tomorrow's challange .. time to call it a (work)day now
[16:10] <cr3> is there a way to have a preseed install updates from the proposed repo during the installation process?
[16:12] <cjwatson> yes! :-)
[16:12] <cjwatson> apt-setup/proposed=true
[16:12] <cr3> cjwatson: wow, you've have thought of everything!
[16:12]  * cjwatson likes being able to say yes
[16:13] <cjwatson> cr3: I did so in response to a bug you filed: bug 181776
[16:13] <cjwatson> so I'm not sure I can claim credit for forethought here ;-)
[16:13] <cr3> cjwatson: that grabs from mirror/http/hostname rather than local0 repository, right?
[16:15] <cjwatson> cr3: 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 that
[16:20] <cr3> cjwatson: thanks a lot, I will probably be trying out -proposed this week
[16:28] <cjwatson> yeah, I was talking with Henrik about that an hour ago so was expecting that
[16:46] <CIA-3> lilo-installer: cjwatson * r431 ubuntu/debian/ (27 files in 2 dirs): merge from Debian 1.29
[16:50] <CIA-3> lilo-installer: cjwatson * r432 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.29ubuntu1
[16:52] <superm1> is 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?
[16:54] <cjwatson> not short of late_command
[16:55] <superm1> well i'm a bit worried that if there is a newer kernel available in -updates while someone runs a recovery
[16:55] <superm1> it's an unexpected variable to add to the mix
[16:58] <superm1> I suppose in that case, can apt-setup/use_mirror be preseeded to False?
[16:58] <superm1> or will that not have the same effect?
