| juvenal | Hello. I'm using a toshiba laptop A205 series and I have created an usb boot disk for the ubuntu 9.10 alternate CD iso. I've used usb-creator-gtk (0.2.12). I can boot from the usb key but the installation stops with an error that it could not mount the CD-ROM. I checked the kernel options and it has the cdrom-detect/try-usb=true parameter. Do you know why is this happening? | 00:12 |

| ev | cjwatson: I've been trying to think of how to best handle that console-setup from debian depends on translations in xkeyboard-config, and we strip them for the lang packs in Ubuntu. My thought is to build an extra xkeyboard-config binary with NO_PKG_MANGLE. | 10:38 |
| ev | Is that okay by you, or would you prefer an approach loosely similar to ubiquity's imported-po whereby it sources translations via a pointer to xkeyboard-config's po directory, using msggrep or something similar. | 10:38 |
| cjwatson | hmm, that is awkward, AFAICS kbdnames-maker is run at build time not at source package construction time and it probably ought to stay that way | 10:49 |
| cjwatson | do you know how big the translations are? | 10:49 |
| ev | ah, apologies. I meant to say xkb-data. | 10:57 |
| ev | as for the size, not sure. Looks to be about a 2MB install size difference between our package and Debian's. | 10:59 |
| ev | xkb-data, that is | 10:59 |
| cjwatson | hmm, that's a fair bit to inflict on default installs. xkb-data-i18n sounds OK to me but best check with the X guys | 11:06 |

| _ruben | hmm .. is there a (easy?) way to run the hardy installer with a custom/newer kernel? i have some hardware that isnt supported in 2.6.24 yet (ich10 or so iirc, been a while since i checked) and the actual system will run a custom kernel any way | 12:42 |

| superm1 | mterry, first plugin i've made using the new plugin stuff: http://imagebin.org/78463 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dell-team/dell-recovery/trunk/revision/182 | 21:39 |
| superm1 | was able to do nearly everything I wanted except db.subst (which i kinda cheated) | 21:40 |
