[00:06] I'm looking for the Wubi source for 9.10 or 10.04. I can only seem to find Wubi Hardy [00:07] LinuxPhreak: bzr branch lp:wubi wubi.trunk [06:40] Does anyone know if there is any way to give a host a random hostname when doing a preseed install? [06:44] 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 [06:54] 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. [09:18] 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) [09:23] 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 [09:33] I don't know, sorry. and yes that would be a good idea [09:33] I'm at somehands so totally behind [09:38] yeah, i know [09:39] 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] sadly the terminal log isnt always clear [09:42] we could theoretically work around that, but it's still DDTT [09:43] feel free to mark such bugs as Invalid with a suitable explanation if you aren't doing so already [09:44] well, first of all i always try to get the default file [09:44] the one thing to be careful of is that grub configuration can include the boot password [09:44] ouch, i didnt know that [09:44] so apport would have to be careful of that [09:44] yeah [09:45] it's only if manually configured [09:45] still, its something that needs to be stripped :) [12:50] 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] Debian bug 357118 in debconf "debconf: exposes passwords in debug messages" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/357118 === kirkland` is now known as kirkland
