tjaaltoncjwatson: what do you think about adding multipath support for grub? (debian bug 442382)08:36
ubottuDebian bug 442382 in grub "please add support for multipath devices" [Wishlist,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/44238208:36
tjaaltondebian refuses to do it for grub-legacy, but since grub2 is still very much a WIP..08:37
Crac23hello all10:57
Scixhow can i automate the installation of ubuntu-restircted-extras?13:11
ScixI found a sh script who did it, but i cant find it again13:14
ScixAll i need is a script or code who answer the license stuf for java13:18
ScixI'm using preseeding to install the clients13:18
cjwatsonwhy not just preseed the questions asked by the Java packages?13:29
cjwatsonboot with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer if you're having trouble identifying them13:29
Scixtanks. I'll try that :)13:37
tjaaltoncjwatson: did you see my question about grub & multipath?17:22
=== Daviey_ is now known as Daviey
Scixhello :)18:38
Scixwhen i used DEBCONF_DEBUG, I'm getting the message that pkgsel/include does not exists :S18:38
=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
cjwatsonScix: you can safely ignore that; it indeed doesn't exist in the templates database at the point preseeding is performed, but that's just due to the structure of the installer and does not indicate an error.19:19
cjwatsontjaalton: sounds reasonable from your description, but I haven't looked into it at all19:19
Scixcjwatson: ok, so pkgseg/inclide ubuntu-restricted-extras should work after all?19:20
ScixI'm looking for preseed commands to automate the confirmation of the java install in this package...19:21
cjwatsonassuming you spell it "pkgsel/include" rather than "pkgseg/inclide", should do19:21
Scixyes, tank you :)19:21
cjwatsonwhen you use DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer, you will see INPUT something/or/other at the point when the Java question is asked19:21
tjaaltonScix: sun-java6-jdk   shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1    boolean true19:22
cjwatsonthat something/or/other is probably what you need to preseed19:22
tjaaltonScix: or similar..19:22
cjwatsontjaalton: was aiming for give-a-man-a-fish ...19:22
cjwatsonrather, teach-a-man-to-fish :)19:22
tjaaltoncjwatson: ah :)19:22
tjaaltonyes, using the debug output teaches you a lot :)19:22
tjaaltoncjwatson: do you prefer a bug report for the grub/multipath issue?19:25
cjwatsonI'd prefer to think about it when I'm not on holiday ;-)19:26
tjaaltonheh, understood :)19:27
cjwatsonan Ubuntu bug report linked to the Debian one would be fine, I guess19:27
tjaaltonI'd be able to test it again tomorrow. I'll try building my own version first19:28
Scixhow can i use DEBCONF_DEBUG on other normal package installations?19:28
Scixthe java command never appeard19:29
tjaaltonoh, grub doesn't have an udeb, so it's even easier to test19:29
cjwatsonI'd do 'sudo env DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer apt-get install thingy 2>log'19:36
cjwatson(untested)19:36
cjwatsonor you could just try tjaalton's suggestion which matches my recollection although it robs you of the opportunity to learn how to solve this problem for yourself in future19:37
Scixcjwatson: how can i get output both to file and screen?20:30
Scixis it important how the preseed file is written? Can i have like user settings at the start, and partitionating settings at the end?21:01
cjwatsonfile and screen> don't know what you mean21:02
cjwatsonhow the preseed file is written> no, think of it as setting lots of variables at the start, not like a program - order doesn't matter21:02
Scixyour command put everything in a file, and the questions was not presented in the terminal21:14
cjwatsonmy command only sends standard error to a file, not the questions21:26
cjwatsonyou must have modified it somehow21:26
