SebbohHi.  I'm using the alt-cd 9.04.  When I use the f4 menu option to select "install a command line system", xwindows is still installed.  Expert was selected, and in the tasksel section I only checked 'OpenSSH server', not 'Ubuntu Desktop'.04:24
SebbohI did not activate the 'log debconf file' mention option in the installer (actually I've tried with and without that option.)04:24
SebbohI don't see the kernel parameters command line change in the bootloader when I select "install command-line system".  Is there some keyword that is supposed to be added to the command line?04:25
SebbohWhat I have now is Boot Options: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed initrd=/install/initrd.gz quiet --04:26
SebbohI notice that the F6 menu allows me to place an X on different options, but the F4 menu doesn't.04:27
Sebbohbtw selecting 'play minesweeper' from the aptitude menu results in aptitude quitting and crap proceeding to install.05:07
Sebboh... no matter what I do, gimp, open office, evolution, and a bunch of crap I don't want are always installed.06:18
SebbohI have booted with debconf level set to low, and preseed/interactive=true.  I've selected "install command-line system", anyway, but it's obvious that this option does nothing.06:20
Sebbohoh, I'm wrong.  I saw those names fly by in the log, but, the applications aren't installed--only the documentation is installed.  Because language-support-translations-en depends on it..06:29

cjwatsonevand: ^- note r3260, this sort of thing is needed any time you move files between packages10:45
cjwatsonevand: anything else needed for 1.13.0 that you know of? do you want to do the upload or shall I?10:46
cjwatsonI haven't tested any of this but it's only karmic ;-)10:46
evandah, apologies for that.10:46
davmor2cjwatson: what you trying to say that it might be a bit broken ;)10:46
cjwatsonaye10:46
davmor2:D LOL10:47
davmor2I hadn't noticed honest :P10:47
cjwatsonhasn't been uploaded yet ...10:47
davmor2cjwatson: I meant karmic :)10:48
cjwatsonoh, well, yeah10:50
davmor2Mind you to be fair it's only been because of package dependancies only being half uploaded so nothing major so far :)  Although I will be testing cd's soon10:51
xivulonevand, davmor2, r134, if there are no complaints I would like to have that replace the stand-alone download11:07
davmor2xivulon: I'll have a look at it after11:08
xivulonthx11:08
evandxivulon: I would be more comfortable with that if you opened it up to wider testing, perhaps via ubuntu-qa or the forums, first.11:08
xivulonby the way the post release issues were mostly due to localization, it would be nice in the future to have full testing for a localized copy (we had similar problems with 8.04)11:08
xivulonevand will do11:09
evandmuch appreciated11:09
evandxivulon: I suggest talking to the QA team to have the Wubi test case expanded to cover i18n11:19
xivulonevand could you prepare a build for 134? (maybe addressing 373162 on the way)11:19
xivulonevand copy that11:19
cjwatsonevand: so you didn't answer my question about 1.13.0 - should I just go ahead and upload it?11:20
davmor2xivulon: that would be me too however I'm doing nothing to testcase till we've talked about them at uds11:20
evandoh, I missed that.  Sorry.  No, by all means go ahead.11:20
evandxivulon: I'm going to hold off on getting a signed copy until we have the final version that we want to put on ubuntu.com.11:21
evandso I'll address 373162 as part of that.11:21
davmor2xivulon: the other big issue being wubi gets mostly tested by me as I'm the one with the various copies of Windows.  I only really read english so locals other than english are a bit of a bind11:24
xivulondavmor2, your help was most useful, admittedly I could have done more testing on localized versions myself, but it gets tricky when you need to cover things like volume names with accents...11:26
evandxivulon, davmor2: http://people.ubuntu.com/~evand/wubi/karmic/wubi-r134.exe11:27
xivulonevand thanks11:27
davmor2thanks evand11:27
CIA-4ubiquity: cjwatson * r3261 ubiquity/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.13.011:27
davmor2I'll hit it after I still got some things to be doing11:27
xivulonevand I posted on #ubuntu-testing and #ubuntu-quality and will now add a forum thread11:28
evandthanks11:29
xivulonevand could you please copy the build to jaunty? otherwise people will be confused11:45
evanddone11:47
xivulonevand: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=115581711:54
kirklandcjwatson: evand: hey, strange question for ya :-)14:47
kirklandi'm about to blow away and reinstall the old ubuntu instance i have running14:48
kirklandalthough it's been constantly upgraded all the way to jaunty, i'm curious about the date I actually first installed it (sometime pre-dapper)14:49
kirklandany suggestion of a file whose timestamp i might be able to check to determine this?14:49
cjwatson/var/log/installer/syslog should say15:01
kirklandcjwatson: cool, thanks :-)15:12
