| LinuxPhreak | I'm looking for the Wubi source for 9.10 or 10.04. I can only seem to find Wubi Hardy | 00:06 |

| ev | LinuxPhreak: bzr branch lp:wubi wubi.trunk | 00:07 |
| jetole | Does anyone know if there is any way to give a host a random hostname when doing a preseed install? | 06:40 |
| persia | You might be able to do it by setting up your DHCP server to pass an IP and nameserver that reverse-resolves to a random hostname (requires fussing with the DNS server). You might also be able to do something with early_command | 06:44 |
| jetole | The hostname doesn't have to be completely random but I am thinking if I install in environment where I always want these machines to be automatically setup i.e. let's say office workstations or in a school and I don't want to have to preconfigure every host. | 06:54 |
| ogra | cjwatson, do you have any idea about all these Xserver issues when people upgrade grub-pc ? (my suspicion is the screensaver kicked in but i'm not 100% sure it would actually make the upgrade fail) | 09:18 |
| ogra | cjwatson, i also think it would make a lot of sense if apport would collect /etc/default/grub automatically, there are so many people following broken docs to change their cmdline for nvidia/fglrx | 09:23 |
| cjwatson | I don't know, sorry. and yes that would be a good idea | 09:33 |
| cjwatson | I'm at somehands so totally behind | 09:33 |
| ogra | yeah, i know | 09:38 |
| ogra | about 10-20% of the currently coming in grub bugs are mis-edited /etc/default/grub files, there is a blog entry from ubuntugeek they copy/paste to change plymouth on proprietary drivers that has a linewrap in the default cmdline options ... | 09:39 |
| ogra | sadly the terminal log isnt always clear | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | we could theoretically work around that, but it's still DDTT | 09:42 |
| cjwatson | feel free to mark such bugs as Invalid with a suitable explanation if you aren't doing so already | 09:43 |
| ogra | well, first of all i always try to get the default file | 09:44 |
| cjwatson | the one thing to be careful of is that grub configuration can include the boot password | 09:44 |
| ogra | ouch, i didnt know that | 09:44 |
| cjwatson | so apport would have to be careful of that | 09:44 |
| ogra | yeah | 09:44 |
| cjwatson | it's only if manually configured | 09:45 |
| ogra | still, its something that needs to be stripped :) | 09:45 |
| ev | cjwatson: so, I profoundly disagree with Joey in Debian bug 357118 (hide passwords in debug logs) and would like to keep a delta of your patch against debconf. Are you okay with that? | 12:50 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 357118 in debconf "debconf: exposes passwords in debug messages" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/357118 | 12:50 |
