[00:12] <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?
[10:38] <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.
[10:49] <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?
[10:57] <ev> ah, apologies.  I meant to say xkb-data.
[10:59] <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
[11:06] <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
[11:22] <ev> okay, will do
[11:22] <ev> thanks
[12:42] <_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
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <superm1> was able to do nearly everything I wanted except db.subst (which i kinda cheated)
