| ev | michaelforrest: what is the DX team doing around the panel for Maverick, that we're blocked on? | 15:36 |
|---|---|---|
| michaelforrest | ev: I need to write an email and find out. But I am blocked on doing that by a vague sense of futility. | 15:37 |
| ev | hahaha | 15:37 |
| ev | damn, I wanted to continue that conversation | 15:38 |
| TREllis | hi all, I'm trying to write a short ubiquity/oem-config plugin to hide the user creation page, should it be as simple as http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/444102/ ? or am I missing something? | 16:24 |
| superm1 | i'd think hiding the page would lead to some undefined behavior since no user would be created? | 16:29 |
| superm1 | i'd think you'd be better to preseed the questions from that page | 16:29 |
| ogra | superm1, would that hide it ? | 16:30 |
| superm1 | if you're running in automatic mode it wouldn't show it if all the questions were answered | 16:31 |
| ogra | ah, cool | 16:31 |
| TREllis | hmm, I don't really need the user to be created for this custom build | 16:37 |
| ogra | you mean you want on user at all ? | 16:37 |
| TREllis | correct, as this is running after install I don't need it... I have hooks into ldap | 16:38 |
| TREllis | but when a machine is shipped to a user, I need them to be able to select lang etc, which I why I thought oem-config would be god | 16:38 |
| TREllis | good* | 16:38 |
| ogra | i'm not sure it will properly finish but you could just try to delete the plugin | 16:39 |
| TREllis | ah ok, I was just trying to hide the page by following this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/Plugins | 16:40 |
| superm1 | TREllis, well you just need two bits actually in your plugin to hide other plugins | 16:44 |
| superm1 | NAME = 'test' | 16:44 |
| superm1 | HIDDEN = 'usersetup' | 16:44 |
| superm1 | everything else is unnecessary | 16:44 |
| superm1 | I think everything for usersetup has been pulled into that plugin, so hopefully the install should be able to finish without it there | 16:45 |
| TREllis | right | 16:46 |
| TREllis | I'll give that a whirl | 16:46 |
| TREllis | thanks | 16:46 |
| ev | cjwatson: do you have any time tomorrow to jump into 1-on-1 and help me talk through this debconf passthrough stuff some more? I'm inclined to give the separate databases idea a go as it would seemingly let us start running components while formatting, but from listening to the inadvertent recording of our hallway chat at UDS, I take it you think that, well, "here be dragons". | 18:09 |
| ev | if you're busy tomorrow, perhaps when I get back from holiday? | 18:09 |
| ev | dragons> with that particular approach, that is | 18:10 |
| cwj | hello. I am having problems with preseeding d-i with a custom apt source. here's the relevant lines from my preseeding file: http://gist.github.com/424393 | 21:07 |
| cwj | when i include "deb" as the first part of the apt-setup/local0/repository string, i get a malformed sources.list | 21:07 |
| cwj | malformed in that i have "deb deb" before the url | 21:08 |
| cwj | if i omit "deb" from the string, the apt source is not added to my sources.list at all | 21:08 |
| cwj | if anyone can advise me i'd appreciate it | 21:11 |
| cwj | fyi, this is on hardy. on lucid my source isn't added, whether i have "deb" in the string or not | 22:46 |
| cjwatson | ev: sure, as long as it doesn't collide with the release meeting | 23:15 |
| cjwatson | cwj: as of intrepid, it's supposed to strip any leading "deb " - before that, you had to leave out the leading "deb " or it wouldn't work | 23:17 |
| cjwatson | cwj: odd that it isn't added at all. can you post your installer syslog? | 23:18 |
| cjwatson | (I won't look at it right now though, I'm just back from the pub and about to go to bed) | 23:18 |
| cwj | cjwatson: ok, you're looking for /var/log/installer/syslog ? | 23:19 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 23:19 |
| cwj | cjwatson: ok, here's a gist https://gist.github.com/247bb0890b0839e3cd94 | 23:22 |
| cwj | im also trying to figure out which preseed answers i need to add for auto-accepting the partman prompt which confirms writing changes to disk, but the apt-setup stuff is higher priority for me | 23:23 |
| cjwatson | Jun 3 21:41:57 main-menu[390]: (process:1937): wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden file type or location | 23:27 |
| cjwatson | I'm guessing that's the problem | 23:27 |
| cjwatson | fix the repository you're trying to get things from and it should work | 23:27 |
| cjwatson | you have 'd-i partman/confirm boolean false' - if you want to auto-accept that, you want 'd-i partman/confirm boolean true' instead. For lucid (and this is harmless for hardy), you might also want 'd-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true' to deal with the case of confirming partitioning when no existing stuff is going to be overwritten | 23:29 |
| cjwatson | also you have 'd-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean' which should be 'd-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true' | 23:30 |
| cjwatson | really off to bed now | 23:30 |
| cwj | ok, thanks for the advice | 23:31 |
| cwj | pleasant dreams to you :) | 23:31 |
| cwj | not sure what to check with that 403 error, the source i am trying to preseed in my install works when i add it to sources.list by hand after installation | 23:49 |
