| maxagaz | hi | 02:13 |
| maxagaz | cjwatson, thanks for your message yesterday, about the Arabic problem in preseed | 02:18 |
| maxagaz | is there someone ? | 02:33 |
| maxagaz | once i've installed hardy using pxe and preseed, my client boots and the keyboard is in something like Arabic | 02:35 |
| maxagaz | as it has been reported here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/328078 | 02:36 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 328078 in console-setup "surprising keyboard choice if not preseeded" [Medium,Triaged] | 02:36 |
| CarlFK | maxagaz: i seem to be having the same problem | 02:46 |
| CarlFK | my pxe default file has: | 02:46 |
| CarlFK | append initrd=ubuntu/jaunty/initrd.gz root=/dev/rd/0 rw locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us netcfg/wireless_wep= netcfg/get_hostname= DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 url=http://shaz/ubuntu/jaunty/preseed.cfg tasksel:tasksel/first="ubuntu-desktop" | 02:47 |
| CarlFK | that worked a few weeks ago, but not today | 02:47 |
| maxagaz | my pxe default is : | 02:49 |
| maxagaz | append vga=normal initrd=ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=en_US netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 netcfg/get_hostname= preseed/url=http://ubuntu.i-xanadu.com/xanadu-preseed.cfg -- | 02:49 |
| CarlFK | hmm, let me try en_US ... | 02:50 |
| CarlFK | maxagaz: well, that seemed to be my problem. so some good came out of this :) | 02:55 |
| maxagaz | CarlFK, you mean you don't have the problem anymore ? | 02:56 |
| CarlFK | well, I was having a different problem | 03:00 |
| CarlFK | I am just now starting the install | 03:00 |
| CarlFK | maxagaz: I see something odd | 03:24 |
| CarlFK | durring the install, I hit Alt-F2, see "hit enter for console..." | 03:25 |
| CarlFK | I hit enter, I get a prompt. I type "abc" I see "***" | 03:25 |
| CarlFK | where * = some diamond char | 03:25 |
| maxagaz | CarlFK, during the install, i don't have any question | 03:36 |
| shtylman | evand: I tried a netboot (took a while to figure out in virtualbox..but ended up super easy), and used the preseed.cfg file the guy had attached...I didn't experience the same sort of problem (used alpha6) | 03:39 |
| shtylman | I dunno if I replicated everything the same...shrug...ideas? | 03:39 |
| CarlFK | maxagaz: did you type something in the installers VT ? | 03:40 |
| shtylman | evand: actually...I lied...I added "d-i console-setup/layoutcode string us" to the preseed file as per the suggestion in the bug | 03:41 |
| maxagaz | CarlFK, what's "the installers VT" | 03:41 |
| shtylman | imma run once without that and see what it does | 03:41 |
| maxagaz | i'll check again my install using console-setup/layoutcode=us instead of console-setup/layoutcode=en_US | 03:41 |
| shtylman | maxagaz: were you the one having the problem? | 03:42 |
| maxagaz | shtylman, my problem is about the Arabic keyboard | 03:43 |
| shtylman | maxagaz: right...using the preseed file, after install arabic was the keyboard selected for you..right? | 03:43 |
| CarlFK | maxagaz: "the installers VT" is during the install, I hit Alt-F2, see "hit enter for console..." | 03:44 |
| maxagaz | shtylman, yes, that's me | 03:44 |
| maxagaz | shtylman, i posted a message yesterday as Gilles on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/328078 | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 328078 in console-setup "surprising keyboard choice if not preseeded" [Medium,Triaged] | 03:44 |
| shtylman | maxagaz: ok, just so I know :) ... well I ran one install and it worked fine...with that line...im gonna run another without the preseed to confirm the bug | 03:45 |
| shtylman | and see what I can do about it...hopefully :) | 03:45 |
| CarlFK | shtylman: you get what I am saying about the alt installer's VT? | 03:45 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: lemme read up some...I just opened the irc window.. | 03:46 |
| CarlFK | same pxe line, before it even loads the preseed (I disconnected the lan). Alt-F2, enter for console, type "abc"at prompt, see "***" | 03:47 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: before starting the install | 03:47 |
| shtylman | I switch to VT and type... | 03:48 |
| shtylman | english as normal | 03:48 |
| shtylman | lemme start the install and try again... | 03:48 |
| shtylman | do you autodetect keyboard layout? | 03:48 |
| shtylman | or set manually? | 03:48 |
| CarlFK | shtylman: using these kernel parms? locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=en_US | 03:48 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: no...lemme put those in and try | 03:49 |
| CarlFK | those take care of keyboard layout :) | 03:49 |
| maxagaz | CarlFK, a late answer... i didn't type anything in the installers VT (by the way, what does VT stands for ?) | 03:49 |
| shtylman | virtual terminal | 03:50 |
| CarlFK | VT - Virtual Term... yeah, that | 03:50 |
| maxagaz | ok | 03:50 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: maxagaz: behavior confirmed for "locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=en_US" as a kernel parameter ... I see ### in the virtual terminal instead of english... but by using "locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us" it works | 03:53 |
| shtylman | evand: ^ | 03:53 |
| shtylman | are yall positive en_US is a valid code still? | 03:54 |
| CarlFK | shtylman: well, I got that from this IRC session :) | 03:54 |
| CarlFK | shtylman: I was using locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us | 03:55 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: heh...missed that... :) also...from what I gather en_US is for local, and 'us' is for keyboards | 03:55 |
| shtylman | so the problem is the ungraceful default when using a non-valid layoutcode | 03:55 |
| shtylman | cjwatson: evand: what is the default when using a layoutcode that is not valid? | 03:56 |
| CarlFK | "locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us" stopped taking care of the keyboard question - console-setup/layoutcode=en_US did | 03:56 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: huh? | 03:57 |
| CarlFK | um | 03:57 |
| CarlFK | (10:48:42 PM) shtylman: do you autodetect keyboard layout? | 03:58 |
| CarlFK | that implies the installer asks about the keyboard, right? | 03:58 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: yea...after adding the kernel param it doesn't | 03:58 |
| CarlFK | kinda. | 03:58 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: I hadn't added the param yet when I asked that | 03:58 |
| CarlFK | 2 weeks ago, using "locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us" - no keyboard question | 03:59 |
| CarlFK | today, those prams, got asked about keyboard | 03:59 |
| shtylman | using which netbook tar? | 03:59 |
| shtylman | alpha6? | 03:59 |
| shtylman | or current? | 03:59 |
| CarlFK | saw what maxagaz used, tried that, no keyboard q | 03:59 |
| CarlFK | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux | 04:00 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: just pulled latest linux and initrd and ran it with "locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us ... result: no keybaord question | 04:04 |
| CarlFK | md5sum linux 93bdff35fdba8a7f547ebb563c3cb3c2 | 04:05 |
| CarlFK | is mine the same? | 04:05 |
| CarlFK | 4140534753c74a27c887ec49c58b20a3 initrd.gz | 04:05 |
| shtylman | I have different for linux | 04:05 |
| shtylman | and for initrd | 04:06 |
| CarlFK | where did you pull from? | 04:06 |
| shtylman | that link | 04:07 |
| CarlFK | whoops - I didn't md5 the x64 one.. | 04:07 |
| CarlFK | 3be4c9beea45a3f5ae7bd2a72761234f initrd.gz | 04:07 |
| CarlFK | 42d4d7a9bb1333aff2a1580eddc5aa02 linux | 04:07 |
| shtylman | k... yea | 04:08 |
| shtylman | ran in virtual machine...no keyboard question... | 04:08 |
| shtylman | and VT's were normal | 04:08 |
| CarlFK | can you try the x86? | 04:08 |
| shtylman | sure | 04:09 |
| CarlFK | thanks | 04:09 |
| CarlFK | sorry bout that - forgot that my script pulled both | 04:09 |
| shtylman | CarlFK: no prob.... result: i386 behavior = amd64 behavior -> no keyboard question | 04:13 |
| CarlFK | huh | 04:13 |
| shtylman | what are you testing with? virtual machines or physical? | 04:13 |
| CarlFK | physical | 04:14 |
| shtylman | http://shtylman.com/stuff/shtylman.netboot.tar.gz | 04:15 |
| shtylman | thats a tar of my tftp directory | 04:16 |
| shtylman | obviously you will need to change the preseed/url in the text.cfg file...but try that out if you want...see what it does | 04:16 |
| CarlFK | shtylman: does your's ask about keyboard ? | 04:26 |
| shtylman | nope | 04:26 |
| shtylman | goes straight to hostname | 04:26 |
| shtylman | after network conf | 04:26 |
| CarlFK | which of these files has the kernel/append lines? | 04:28 |
| CarlFK | append vga=normal initrd=ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz locale=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=us preseed/url=http://192.168.1.105/preseed/preseed.cfg -- quiet | 04:29 |
| shtylman | text.cfg | 04:30 |
| shtylman | in the boot-screens | 04:30 |
| CarlFK | yeah - grepped everything | 04:30 |
| shtylman | k | 04:30 |
| shtylman | well, im out...if there are more things needing testing, just leave a msg and I will try it tomorrow | 04:42 |
| CarlFK | thanks - im having lan issues... | 04:42 |
| cjwatson | good grief, that was a vast amount of confusion over a layout code :) | 09:36 |
| cjwatson | maxagaz: en_US has never been and will never be a valid keyboard layout code; it's a locale | 09:36 |
| cjwatson | maxagaz: so console-setup/layoutcode=us is indeed the proper fix for your problem | 09:37 |
| cjwatson | shtylman: well, that's exactly the bug that maxagaz quoted; it just picks the first in the list or some such, while it would probably be better if it stopped and asked | 09:37 |
| evand | hello crazybyte | 09:38 |
| crazybyte | hello evand | 09:38 |
| crazybyte | see you later then :) | 09:38 |
| evand | sure thing | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | maxagaz: BTW, I'd appreciate it if you were a bit more accurate in bug reports; in your statement in the bug report you said that you were using console-setup/layoutcode=us, not console-setup/layoutcode=en_US as you later clarified. If you'd been accurate from the start then I could have helped you straight away | 09:39 |
| juliux | cjwatson: if some crazy german people are contacting you directly about unattended ubuntu installation you can forward them to me;) i have link your launchpad profil and blog in my german howto with a thanking for your support | 10:03 |
| cjwatson | ok | 10:04 |
| maxagaz | cjwatson, that's right... it only when CarlFK gave us his pxe config that i thought about doing the same | 10:16 |
| maxagaz | it | 10:16 |
| maxagaz | it's | 10:16 |
| cjwatson | crazybyte: perhaps one approach to "grub-restore" would be to arrange for the "rescue" package to be usable on the live CD and have a UI and stuff | 10:47 |
| crazybyte | cjwatson, ok | 10:47 |
| crazybyte | i will look into it | 10:47 |
| cjwatson | since it has a grub-reinstall plugin | 10:47 |
| mat_t | evand, hey | 12:26 |
| evand | mat_t: hi | 12:27 |
| mat_t | evand, alpha 5 installer didn't fit on my screen (mini 9)... Is that fixed for the beta? | 12:27 |
| evand | mat_t: not quite yet: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ubiquity/+bug/325958 | 12:28 |

| mat_t | evand, thx | 12:29 |
| evand | sure thing | 12:29 |
| cjwatson | evand: bug 334284 is still milestoned for beta; since I'm going to be asked about it in the release meeting, do you think it's going to make it? | 14:06 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 334284 in ubiquity "Timezone map cities are incorrectly placed" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/334284 | 14:06 |
| evand | I suspect not for beta, but hopefully shortly thereafter | 14:10 |
| evand | I'll move the target | 14:10 |
| cjwatson | ok, thanks | 14:11 |
| shtylman | evand: regarding the city placement....I worked at it quite a bit and I think I got the cities a bit closer...it was similar to your code with just a few changes for the offsets... its in the kde_frontend folder | 14:28 |
| evand | shtylman: ok thanks, I'll take a look in a little bit. Trying to fix resizing issues. | 14:29 |

| persia | cjwatson, Noting your comments in the release meeting: mcasadevall and I have been walking through armel installs today, tracking down failure points. | 14:37 |
| cjwatson | persia: at the moment it's a lot faster to deal with uninstallable packages by way of the testing-ports output and chdist | 14:43 |
| cjwatson | that's what I've been doing | 14:43 |
| persia | Oh, then we're talking about different things. We've been walking through d-i :) | 14:43 |
| cjwatson | ah | 14:44 |
| persia | I feared duplication, but it appears there isn't any :) | 14:44 |
| cjwatson | please do continue walking through d-i ;-) | 14:44 |
| shtylman | cjwatson: are you gonna handle the keyboard preseed bug? and does its status need to change in launchpad? | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | shtylman: yeah, it's on my list. What's wrong with its status? | 15:13 |
| shtylman | cjwatson: on second though...ignore the status comment :) | 15:15 |
| shtylman | *thought | 15:16 |
| persia | cjwatson, looking at partman/lib/disk-label.sh, I'm curious if you happen to know the historical reasons why each armel subarchitecture is separately set to "msdos" and *) is set to "UNKNOWN". | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | persia: I don't, but it's moot because that's been changed upstream | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | apparently I forgot to merge that. I will. | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | beta-critical? | 15:21 |
| persia | Actually merging the upstream fix isn't, but we'd like the imx51 subarch to not have a warning for beta, if we can. | 15:22 |
| persia | I can look at that merge, or just add the subarch, if it saves you time. | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | I have the merge in progress | 15:24 |
| persia | OK. In that case, it would be nice if it happened by beta, but I'd say it's beta-medium or beta-high, rather than beta-critical. | 15:24 |
| cjwatson | ok, I'll see what I can do today | 15:25 |
| persia | Thanks. I'll drop it from the list of imx51 stuff. | 15:26 |

| davmor2 | evand: Why? | 15:32 |
| cjwatson | persia: ^- | 15:32 |
| evand | the points are in latitude and longitude, the map is a projection of the surface of a sphere onto a 2d surface. | 15:33 |
