[08:36] cjwatson: what do you think about adding multipath support for grub? (debian bug 442382) [08:36] Debian bug 442382 in grub "please add support for multipath devices" [Wishlist,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/442382 [08:37] debian refuses to do it for grub-legacy, but since grub2 is still very much a WIP.. [10:57] hello all [13:11] how can i automate the installation of ubuntu-restircted-extras? [13:14] I found a sh script who did it, but i cant find it again [13:18] All i need is a script or code who answer the license stuf for java [13:18] I'm using preseeding to install the clients [13:29] why not just preseed the questions asked by the Java packages? [13:29] boot with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer if you're having trouble identifying them [13:37] tanks. I'll try that :) [17:22] cjwatson: did you see my question about grub & multipath? === Daviey_ is now known as Daviey [18:38] hello :) [18:38] when i used DEBCONF_DEBUG, I'm getting the message that pkgsel/include does not exists :S === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson [19:19] Scix: 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] tjaalton: sounds reasonable from your description, but I haven't looked into it at all [19:20] cjwatson: ok, so pkgseg/inclide ubuntu-restricted-extras should work after all? [19:21] I'm looking for preseed commands to automate the confirmation of the java install in this package... [19:21] assuming you spell it "pkgsel/include" rather than "pkgseg/inclide", should do [19:21] yes, tank you :) [19:21] when you use DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer, you will see INPUT something/or/other at the point when the Java question is asked [19:22] Scix: sun-java6-jdk shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true [19:22] that something/or/other is probably what you need to preseed [19:22] Scix: or similar.. [19:22] tjaalton: was aiming for give-a-man-a-fish ... [19:22] rather, teach-a-man-to-fish :) [19:22] cjwatson: ah :) [19:22] yes, using the debug output teaches you a lot :) [19:25] cjwatson: do you prefer a bug report for the grub/multipath issue? [19:26] I'd prefer to think about it when I'm not on holiday ;-) [19:27] heh, understood :) [19:27] an Ubuntu bug report linked to the Debian one would be fine, I guess [19:28] I'd be able to test it again tomorrow. I'll try building my own version first [19:28] how can i use DEBCONF_DEBUG on other normal package installations? [19:29] the java command never appeard [19:29] oh, grub doesn't have an udeb, so it's even easier to test [19:36] I'd do 'sudo env DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer apt-get install thingy 2>log' [19:36] (untested) [19:37] or 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 future [20:30] cjwatson: how can i get output both to file and screen? [21:01] is it important how the preseed file is written? Can i have like user settings at the start, and partitionating settings at the end? [21:02] file and screen> don't know what you mean [21:02] how the preseed file is written> no, think of it as setting lots of variables at the start, not like a program - order doesn't matter [21:14] your command put everything in a file, and the questions was not presented in the terminal [21:26] my command only sends standard error to a file, not the questions [21:26] you must have modified it somehow [21:27] hw-detect: cjwatson * r101 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog disk-detect.sh ethdetect.sh): [21:27] hw-detect: * Backport from trunk: [21:27] hw-detect: - Ask the correct parameters question if modprobe fails.
