[06:31] <CarlFK1> I am remastering the live cd (removed OO, added some packages)  How do I put the default user in the video group?
[08:56] <juliux> hi
[08:57] <juliux> is it possible to define a syslog host for a netinstall installation?
[09:24] <cjwatson> juliux: boot with log_host=blah log_port=blah
[09:25] <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
[09:31] <juliux> cjwatson: thanks
[13:09] <juliux> cjwatson: one more question it is possible to define a mirror also via the append line?
[13:14] <cjwatson> juliux: sure. replacing the default one, or adding an additional one?
[13:17] <juliux> replacing
[13:24] <juliux> cjwatson: replacing
[13:25] <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
[13:26] <cjwatson> therefore, to preseed it on the command line, use mirror/country=manual mirror/http/hostname=host.name.example mirror/http/directory=/ubuntu
[13:28] <juliux> thxs
[13:30] <juliux> cjwatson: if i find time to go to one of the next uds you got a lot of beer from me;)
[13:31] <cjwatson> heh
[13:31] <cjwatson> I'll be at debconf, if that counts :)
[13:35] <juliux> i am not going to debconf
[13:44] <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).

[13:49] <CIA-2> user-setup: cjwatson * r189 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.27ubuntu2
[14:35] <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?
[14:36] <cjwatson> don't know just from that, would need to see logs. probably a bug
[14:38] <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
[15:33] <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
[15:35] <CarlFK1> (first time I have looked at the live cd internals )
[15:43] <cjwatson> Debian's diverged a fair bit from our live CD; don't use their documentation
[15:44] <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
[15:45] <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
[15:46] <CarlFK1> nother Q: how do I disable cpu feq scaling (also live cd)
[15:46] <cjwatson> sorry, no idea; not really an installer thing
[16:10] <CIA-2> debian-installer-utils: cjwatson * r679 ubuntu/ (70 files in 3 dirs): merge from Debian 1.70
[17:18] <shtylman> this isn't good ... I just updated to the new kernel and it doesn't boot for me :)
[17:43] <lamalex> evand: Do you think compute_size_layout is the function that does this?
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <shtylman> evand: :)
[17:46] <shtylman> evand: you see any of the work we have been doing on the installer?
[17:47] <shtylman> http://shtylman.com/stuff/kubuntu_installer/version3/
[17:47] <shtylman> and all of that is basically accomplished with just a stylesheet
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <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
[17:50] <shtylman> to make it easier to minimize the install process

[17:50] <shtylman> the desktop is still there... but we wanted to make the user focus on the install steps for those few moments
[17:51] <CIA-2> user-setup: cjwatson * r190 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog user-setup-apply): Update autologin code to work with new gdm (thanks, Martin Pitt).

[18:00] <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
[18:59] <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
[19:06] <lamalex> oh snap
[19:06] <lamalex> maybe just found it
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <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
[19:30] <lamalex> yah, found it finally
[19:30] <lamalex> thanks
