| juliux | hi | 08:56 |
| juliux | is it possible to define a syslog host for a netinstall installation? | 08:57 |
| cjwatson | juliux: boot with log_host=blah log_port=blah | 09:24 |
| cjwatson | (you can leave out log_port if it's the standard syslog port) | 09:25 |
| cjwatson | CarlFK1: change the default value of passwd/user-default-groups in debconf | 09:25 |
| juliux | cjwatson: thanks | 09:31 |
| juliux | cjwatson: one more question it is possible to define a mirror also via the append line? | 13:09 |
| cjwatson | juliux: sure. replacing the default one, or adding an additional one? | 13:14 |
| juliux | replacing | 13:17 |
| juliux | cjwatson: replacing | 13:24 |
| cjwatson | then you just follow the normal procedure for preseeding something on the command line ... | 13:25 |
| cjwatson | to preseed it in a file, you'd use: | 13:25 |
| cjwatson | d-i mirror/country string manual | 13:25 |
| cjwatson | d-i mirror/http/hostname string host.name.example | 13:25 |
| cjwatson | d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu | 13:25 |
| cjwatson | therefore, to preseed it on the command line, use mirror/country=manual mirror/http/hostname=host.name.example mirror/http/directory=/ubuntu | 13:26 |
| juliux | thxs | 13:28 |
| juliux | cjwatson: if i find time to go to one of the next uds you got a lot of beer from me;) | 13:30 |
| cjwatson | heh | 13:31 |
| cjwatson | I'll be at debconf, if that counts :) | 13:31 |
| juliux | i am not going to debconf | 13:35 |
| CIA-2 | user-setup: cjwatson * r187 ubuntu/ (3 files in 2 dirs): | 13:44 |
| CIA-2 | user-setup: Error out more gracefully, although with a clear red-screen error, if | 13:44 |
| CIA-2 | user-setup: /dev/shm/.ecryptfs-$USER doesn't exist when trying to set up home | 13:44 |
| CIA-2 | user-setup: directory encryption (LP: #395082). | 13:44 |
| CIA-2 | user-setup: cjwatson * r188 ubuntu/debian/po/ (66 files): debconf-updatepo | 13:48 |
| CIA-2 | user-setup: cjwatson * r189 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.27ubuntu2 | 13:49 |
| juliux | cjwatson: sorry for asking again, if i try to install an raid i got an message where the installer warns me that the kernel was unable to re-read the partion table, how can i accept this messages? or how can i subpress this messages? | 14:35 |
| cjwatson | don't know just from that, would need to see logs. probably a bug | 14:36 |
| juliux | you just have to press enter end then every thing is fine;) | 14:38 |
| juliux | i think is only showing up if there where alreay a raid installed | 14:38 |
| CarlFK1 | cjwatson: um.. im not sure how to "change the default value of passwd/user-default-groups in debconf" - I found http://live.debian.net/manual/html/live-user.html that says: | 15:33 |
| CarlFK1 | "...to add the live user to the fuse group, add the following to a file in the config/chroot_local-preseed directory: debconf passwd/user-default-groups string audio cdrom dialout floppy video plugdev netdev powerdev fuse " | 15:33 |
| CarlFK1 | but I don't find that dir | 15:33 |
| CarlFK1 | (first time I have looked at the live cd internals ) | 15:35 |
| cjwatson | Debian's diverged a fair bit from our live CD; don't use their documentation | 15:43 |
| CarlFK1 | and lots of FIXMEs in key places | 15:44 |
| CarlFK1 | I am using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 15:44 |
| cjwatson | and that documentation is just wrong anyway, wrong owner | 15:44 |
| CarlFK1 | heh | 15:44 |
| cjwatson | you need to write a preseed file that says 'd-i passwd/user-default-groups string adm cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare video' (at least that's what it'd be in karmic) | 15:45 |
| cjwatson | put it somewhere in the CD root | 15:45 |
| cjwatson | and then put preseed/file=/cdrom/path/to/your/file on the kernel command line | 15:45 |
| CarlFK1 | thanks | 15:45 |
| cjwatson | or actually just file= will be fine | 15:45 |
| CarlFK1 | nother Q: how do I disable cpu feq scaling (also live cd) | 15:46 |
| cjwatson | sorry, no idea; not really an installer thing | 15:46 |
| CIA-2 | debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r679 ubuntu/ (70 files in 3 dirs): merge from Debian 1.70 | 16:10 |
| shtylman | this isn't good ... I just updated to the new kernel and it doesn't boot for me :) | 17:18 |
| lamalex | evand: Do you think compute_size_layout is the function that does this? | 17:43 |
| evand | shtylman: welcome to karmic :) | 17:45 |
| evand | lamalex: what, set the default size for the partition slider? No, I think it's done in add_segment_rgb. | 17:45 |
| evand | from glancing at the code anyway | 17:45 |
| shtylman | evand: :) | 17:46 |
| shtylman | evand: you see any of the work we have been doing on the installer? | 17:46 |
| shtylman | http://shtylman.com/stuff/kubuntu_installer/version3/ | 17:47 |
| shtylman | and all of that is basically accomplished with just a stylesheet | 17:47 |
| evand | Ah, cool. Looking at the screenshots it appears as though the desktop is absent, or is this in only-ubiquity mode? | 17:48 |
| shtylman | evand: its fullscreen | 17:48 |
| shtylman | covers everything else while you move through the steps and then goes away...you can also minimize it | 17:49 |
| evand | as in always, regardless of whether you select "try or install Kubuntu" or "install Ubuntu"? | 17:49 |
| shtylman | thats the idea currently... the screenshots are missing a minimize icon we hope to add | 17:49 |
| shtylman | to make it easier to minimize the install process | 17:50 |
| CIA-2 | casper: cjwatson * r649 trunk/ (debian/changelog scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin): scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin: Minor consistency fixes. | 17:50 |
| shtylman | the desktop is still there... but we wanted to make the user focus on the install steps for those few moments | 17:50 |
| CIA-2 | user-setup: cjwatson * r190 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog user-setup-apply): Update autologin code to work with new gdm (thanks, Martin Pitt). | 17:51 |
| CIA-2 | oem-config: cjwatson * r676 trunk/ (debian/changelog oem-config): Update autologin-disabling code to work with new gdm. | 17:54 |
| CIA-2 | user-setup: cjwatson * r191 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.27ubuntu3 | 17:56 |
| evand | hrm, not sure how comfortable I am with that. We created the "install {K,U}buntu" option in part to have a full screen application when it's desired, but if its full screen on the live CD desktop, I'm worried that users wont realize they can treat it like a regular application. Not my call to make though, that's up to you guys in Kubuntu. However, I would suggest that if you make it full screen, you don't waste any screen real estate and make | 18:00 |
| evand | anyway, I need to run | 18:00 |
| evand | cheers, have a good weekend | 18:00 |
| shtylman | k...will consider... peace | 18:00 |
| lamalex | evand: are you around? I've been searching through this code for 2 hours and still haven't been able to find where it picks the size | 18:59 |
| lamalex | oh snap | 19:06 |
| lamalex | maybe just found it | 19:06 |
| evand | lamalex: I really have to run but the partman-auto shell code lives somewhere in /lib/partman (its probably easier to look at the partman-auto source package), that gets called by partman.py (/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/components), which then feeds the minimum size for the resized partition, the maximum size, and the size of the partition itself to the frontend (/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py), which creates a SegmentedBarSlider w | 19:27 |
| evand | this is in add_segment_rgb | 19:28 |
| evand | roughly line 600 | 19:28 |
| evand | if self.resize != -1 and len ... | 19:28 |
| evand | really gotta run | 19:28 |
| evand | sorry | 19:28 |
| evand | cheers | 19:28 |
| lamalex | yah, found it finally | 19:30 |
| lamalex | thanks | 19:30 |
