[01:33] <CarlFK> cjwatson: tried the preseed file to add the user to the video group, no luck:  http://dev.personnelware.com/carl/a/ubuntulivecd2.png
[01:33] <CarlFK> I have a few other live cd questions - whats a good list to post to?
[02:50] <CarlFK>     printf "\nADD_EXTRA_GROUPS=1\nEXTRA_GROUPS="video"\n" >> /etc/adduser.conf
[02:50] <CarlFK> there, I fixed it
[11:05] <cjwatson> CarlFK: URL doesn't exist
[11:05] <cjwatson> CarlFK: ubuntu-installer@
[11:05] <cjwatson> (as in the topic)
[13:56] <CarlFK> cjwatson: thanks
[13:57] <CarlFK> I think the reason the preseed didn't work is because there was already a file=u.seed, and I added a 2nd file=my.seed apparently the first one wins.
[13:59] <CarlFK> I like the ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS thing better anyway - easier to script / document
[14:25] <cjwatson> CarlFK: yes, if you specify it twice then the behaviour is at best undefined, although actually I think that's a (very minor) bug and the second ought to win
[14:25] <cjwatson> (since that's how d-i behaves)
[14:26] <cjwatson> CarlFK: ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS in adduser.conf has different semantics from doing it in preseeding
[14:26] <cjwatson> CarlFK: preseeding affects only the first user; ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS affects all non-system users added using adduser
[14:26] <cjwatson> CarlFK: so if the latter's what you want, fine, but you should be aware of the difference
[14:31] <CarlFK> cjwatson: thanks
