[08:36] <tjaalton> cjwatson: what do you think about adding multipath support for grub? (debian bug 442382)
[08:37] <tjaalton> debian refuses to do it for grub-legacy, but since grub2 is still very much a WIP..
[10:57] <Crac23> hello all
[13:11] <Scix> how can i automate the installation of ubuntu-restircted-extras?
[13:14] <Scix> I found a sh script who did it, but i cant find it again
[13:18] <Scix> All i need is a script or code who answer the license stuf for java
[13:18] <Scix> I'm using preseeding to install the clients
[13:29] <cjwatson> why not just preseed the questions asked by the Java packages?
[13:29] <cjwatson> boot with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer if you're having trouble identifying them
[13:37] <Scix> tanks. I'll try that :)
[17:22] <tjaalton> cjwatson: did you see my question about grub & multipath?
[18:38] <Scix> hello :)
[18:38] <Scix> when i used DEBCONF_DEBUG, I'm getting the message that pkgsel/include does not exists :S
[19:19] <cjwatson> 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] <cjwatson> tjaalton: sounds reasonable from your description, but I haven't looked into it at all
[19:20] <Scix> cjwatson: ok, so pkgseg/inclide ubuntu-restricted-extras should work after all?
[19:21] <Scix> I'm looking for preseed commands to automate the confirmation of the java install in this package...
[19:21] <cjwatson> assuming you spell it "pkgsel/include" rather than "pkgseg/inclide", should do
[19:21] <Scix> yes, tank you :)
[19:21] <cjwatson> when you use DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer, you will see INPUT something/or/other at the point when the Java question is asked
[19:22] <tjaalton> Scix: sun-java6-jdk   shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1    boolean true
[19:22] <cjwatson> that something/or/other is probably what you need to preseed
[19:22] <tjaalton> Scix: or similar..
[19:22] <cjwatson> tjaalton: was aiming for give-a-man-a-fish ...
[19:22] <cjwatson> rather, teach-a-man-to-fish :)
[19:22] <tjaalton> cjwatson: ah :)
[19:22] <tjaalton> yes, using the debug output teaches you a lot :)
[19:25] <tjaalton> cjwatson: do you prefer a bug report for the grub/multipath issue?
[19:26] <cjwatson> I'd prefer to think about it when I'm not on holiday ;-)
[19:27] <tjaalton> heh, understood :)
[19:27] <cjwatson> an Ubuntu bug report linked to the Debian one would be fine, I guess
[19:28] <tjaalton> I'd be able to test it again tomorrow. I'll try building my own version first
[19:28] <Scix> how can i use DEBCONF_DEBUG on other normal package installations?
[19:29] <Scix> the java command never appeard
[19:29] <tjaalton> oh, grub doesn't have an udeb, so it's even easier to test
[19:36] <cjwatson> I'd do 'sudo env DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer apt-get install thingy 2>log'
[19:36] <cjwatson> (untested)
[19:37] <cjwatson> 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] <Scix> cjwatson: how can i get output both to file and screen?
[21:01] <Scix> 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] <cjwatson> file and screen> don't know what you mean
[21:02] <cjwatson> 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] <Scix> your command put everything in a file, and the questions was not presented in the terminal
[21:26] <cjwatson> my command only sends standard error to a file, not the questions
[21:26] <cjwatson> you must have modified it somehow
