bdmurrayevand: it installed for me on one with <3GB of memory01:01
bdmurrayevand: using an ubuntu server i386 cd01:02
evandbdmurray: what does /usr/lib/base-installer/dmi-available-memory print out?01:02
bdmurrayevand: that should be on the live cd right?01:02
evandbdmurray: yes01:02
bdmurrayevand: that directory doesn't exist only base-installer.d01:03
bdmurrayevand: and I can't find dmi-available-memory01:04
evandwhat live CD is this?01:04
bdmurrayubuntu-server/karmic-server-i386.iso01:04
bdmurraymaybe live CD is the wrong word...01:06
evandindeed01:06
evandcan you boot a live CD with that machine and run the above command?01:06
bdmurrayevand: sure, how does it work on the server install though?01:07
cjwatsonyou need to run through the installer a certain amount01:08
cjwatson(server)01:08
evandthe same way, it's just easier to explain how to do it on a live CD01:08
evandwell, roughly01:08
cjwatsonrun up to the hostname prompt, then you'll have /usr/lib/base-installer/dmi-available-memory01:08
evandor do that :)01:08
cjwatsonwhen d-i boots, it only has the core of itself - it installs more bits of itself on the fly01:08
bdmurrayah, right01:08

OmahnWhen adding d-i apt-setup/local0/repository line in preseeded installs, is it possible to include a variable that resolves to the relevant release or do you specifically have to put the release name in?09:29
OmahnThe example given shows:09:30
Omahn#d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string \09:30
Omahn#       http://local.server/ubuntu &releasename; main09:30
OmahnYet that doesn't appear to resolve, it just inserts as is. :-(09:30
OmahnAnd to answer myself, a workaround is to use:09:43
Omahnd-i preseed/include_command \ string echo `grep CODENAME /etc/lsb-release | cut -f 2 -d '='`.cfg09:43
Omahnand then have a preseed for each release available.09:43
OmahnOr maybe not. The installer is failing to load the reference .cfg file, it doesn't even attempt to download it.09:55
cjwatsonJanC: we know, and it's corrected in bzr, but was too late for the final images09:56
cjwatsonOmahn: no variables, sorry09:56
Omahncjwatson: No problem, any idea why the preseed/include_command doesn't appear to work?09:57
cjwatsonOmahn: the example is intended to be processed by a program that turns &releasename; into karmic; if you're seeing &releasename;, you might be reading something too high up in the processing chain?09:57
cjwatsonOmahn: dunno, anything in syslog?09:57
OmahnNothing at all.09:57
cjwatsonthat's a hint to please show me the syslog :)09:57
Omahn:-)09:58
OmahnTwo tics..09:58
Omahnhttp://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7acc32bf09:59
cjwatson"server returned error 503: HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable"09:59
cjwatsonso check the server logs?10:00
OmahnThat's several minutes after the failed attempt.10:00
Omahn(see the shell I start just before)10:00
cjwatsonhm, ok10:00
OmahnI'm just having a look at a packet capture on the http server, I suspect it's not making any request at all.10:01
cjwatsonbefore it gets to that point (you might have to e.g. not preseed the locale question), edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/network-preseed.postinst and change the second line from 'set -e' to 'set -ex'10:02
cjwatsonthen try again, and you should get a trace in the syslog10:02
OmahnI'll do that now. The packet capture shows that the only incoming request is for the original preseed, not the included one.10:03

OmahnDoes the preseed/include_command need to appear anywhere in particular in the original preseed file? (I currently have it a the bottom)10:13

cjwatsonshtylman: what's the 'selected_zone = -1' in ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/Timezone.py:mouseReleaseEvent() for? pychecker correctly points out that that's never used after setting it, and I was wondering if it was meant to be a change to self.selected_zone although that seems to have a different format12:29

kim0cjwatson: man, I want to stop the installer from installing updates online. it should only install what's on the DVD. You mentioned I should use "d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false"12:57
kim0that correctly removes sources from sources.list, *except* the security updates .. can I remove that also somehow ?12:58
kim0thanks in advance12:58
kim0I think I need "d-i apt-setup/security_host string" ...13:06
cjwatsonkim0: you've got it13:24
cjwatsonor I think 'd-i apt-setup/services-select multiselect' will do it too (default is 'security')13:25

DanielRichmanOk. Being a fan of the minimal installer/mini.iso I'd like to use that to install karmic. The links arn't up on the wiki, but I'm guessing that http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ is the right place. The date modified is showing 17th of October - are these images good to use to install karmic release now?22:59
choman2is this a good place for wubi questions23:14
DanielRichman(question has been answered on #ubuntu; no worries)23:32
