mptevand, do you know of any reason that Firefox would fail to launch if you click either of the hyperlinks in the slideshow while running in an installer-only session (i.e. no gnome-panel etc)?10:31
evandmpt: I'm not sure why that would be the case.  All ubiquity does is call sensible-browser http://... as the regular user.10:39
* evand digs10:40
davmor2evand: daft question but during the install only option is there a default browser?10:42
evandyes10:43
davmor2evand: I'm just wondering if there is a gui browser available if not it might be using w3m in vt10:46
davmor2just thinking out loud10:47
mptevand, johnlea told me that he got a bunch of error messages when doing it yesterday. Unfortunately I wasn't there and he didn't report a bug.10:47
mpt(To be fair, I guess it's rather difficult to report a bug in that situation.)10:52
evandI think I've found the problem - the privilege dropping appears to be failing and firefox is running as root10:55

grrrregI've got two big problems when preseeding Karmic's installation on a dmraid server11:16
grrrreg- I have to manually run dmraid -ay even if I have "d-i disk-detect/activate_dmraid boolean true"11:17
grrrreg- grub-installer uses grub-pc by default, which does not work with dmraid setups11:18
grrrregI can handle the first problem, but the second one fails the install11:19
grrrregis there a d-i line to choose between grub and grub-pc ?11:19
evandgrrrreg: set grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy to false.11:40
grrrregthank you so much evand11:58
evandsure thing11:58
grrrregmore generaly, what's the best way to know all the debconf "conf" for a software ?11:59
evandthere really isn't, short of looking through all the templates files in the source, or looking at /var/cache/debconf/{config,templates}.dat12:06
evandthe templates file being in the debian/ directory in the source tree.12:06
grrrregthanks, I'm svn'ing d-i12:10
grrrregI'll check it out12:10
