zimbatmhi there09:32
zimbatmwhat is the best way to find out which preseed options are used by which udeb ?09:33
cjwatsonunfortunately that level of detail is a "use the source" deal09:35
zimbatmokay, that's what I'm doing right now09:36
mptev, if you can alter the installer translations, I suggest changing both "${RELASE}" and "${REKEASE}" to "${RELEASE}"09:38
evthis WrapLabel breakage seems to be pretty bad.  mpt showed me a few examples this morning of entire lines of non-RTL languages getting cut off.  I'll see what I can do today.09:38
evmpt: indeed, will do09:39
cjwatsongah, clearly we need to deploy some automatic correctness-checking on translations09:39
cjwatsonI do have partial code for that from Debian lying around somewhere09:40
evThat would be a massive help if you can find it09:40
cjwatsonscripts/l10n/l10n-spellcheck in the d-i svn repository09:40
evawesome, thanks09:42
mptcjwatson, or use "${V}" or something that's harder to misspell :-)09:45
cjwatsonwouldn't cover it09:48
cjwatsonsome translators try to spell it as $[RELEASE] and such09:48
cjwatsonand I'd much rather have moderately explanatory names for substitution variables09:48
cjwatsonthey're like variables when programming; only throwaway things like loop control variables should have single-character names09:49

evyay, fixed the label truncation11:02
zimbatmis it possible to use dhcp on install and static network on target host ? I'm using a post-install script but wanted to know if there is something simpler11:03
cjwatsonyou're probably using the simplest available method already11:09

cjwatsonusing l10n-spellcheck?11:41
evnot yet, I'll look into it now11:56
evif l10n-spellcheck doesn't cover it, perhaps we should shove grep "\${" po/ debian/real-po/ -r | grep -v "\${[A-Za-z]" in the build11:57

zimbatmdo you know if there is any web frontend for debconf ? I happened to find some project a long time ago but can't seem to find it again16:05
cjwatsonthere's one in the debconf source package itself (DEBIAN_FRONTEND=web, see 'man 7 debconf'), although I don't think anyone's worked on it for ages16:09
zimbatmokay, thanks cjwatson, I'll take a look16:10
superm1ev, that vertical alignment fix you did above, would you expect it's going to resolve things like this: http://imagebin.org/93296 ?  I haven't gotten a chance to apply it to any of the installs i've been seeing the clipping as per yet18:33

sweezetrying to install lucid beta2 on an HP envy 15, and getting the following error: "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"19:54
sweezetrying to install through a usb key, or a usb cdromdrive, both result in the same problem19:55
sweezehow do i even debug this?19:55
sweeze(also getting same problem with a lucid alpha2 cd which I've confirmed working on another machine)19:59
superm1ev, hm appears to fix it for the regular pages i was seeing it, but it's still happening on third party pages for some reason or another (http://imagebin.org/93305)19:59
dafyddApologies for a noob question, but what package would I need to modify when gpgv can't find the public key20:01
sweezegot a little farther with netboot, but not much... put some details into : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/565047 --  is going through the bug the best way to figure this out, or some way for more realtime back and forth?23:10

cjwatsonFriday evening's not the best time, really ...23:12
sweezeha, of course.  can wait for next week if that's best23:12
cjwatsonyour network configuration problem in the installer needs to be filed as a separate bug23:12
cjwatsonI recommend going through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper to extract more information about your CD boot problem23:13
cjwatsonfor your network configuration problem, we need the lines beginning 03:00.0 and 04:00.0 from 'lspci -n'23:14
