[15:36] michaelforrest: what is the DX team doing around the panel for Maverick, that we're blocked on? [15:37] 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] hahaha [15:38] damn, I wanted to continue that conversation [16:24] 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? [16:29] i'd think hiding the page would lead to some undefined behavior since no user would be created? [16:29] i'd think you'd be better to preseed the questions from that page [16:30] superm1, would that hide it ? [16:31] if you're running in automatic mode it wouldn't show it if all the questions were answered [16:31] ah, cool [16:37] hmm, I don't really need the user to be created for this custom build [16:37] you mean you want on user at all ? [16:38] correct, as this is running after install I don't need it... I have hooks into ldap [16:38] 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] good* [16:39] i'm not sure it will properly finish but you could just try to delete the plugin [16:40] ah ok, I was just trying to hide the page by following this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/Plugins [16:44] TREllis, well you just need two bits actually in your plugin to hide other plugins [16:44] NAME = 'test' [16:44] HIDDEN = 'usersetup' [16:44] everything else is unnecessary [16:45] I think everything for usersetup has been pulled into that plugin, so hopefully the install should be able to finish without it there [16:46] right [16:46] I'll give that a whirl [16:46] thanks [18:09] 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] if you're busy tomorrow, perhaps when I get back from holiday? [18:10] dragons> with that particular approach, that is [21:07] 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] when i include "deb" as the first part of the apt-setup/local0/repository string, i get a malformed sources.list [21:08] malformed in that i have "deb deb" before the url [21:08] if i omit "deb" from the string, the apt source is not added to my sources.list at all [21:11] if anyone can advise me i'd appreciate it [22:46] fyi, this is on hardy. on lucid my source isn't added, whether i have "deb" in the string or not [23:15] ev: sure, as long as it doesn't collide with the release meeting [23:17] 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 [23:18] cwj: odd that it isn't added at all. can you post your installer syslog? [23:18] (I won't look at it right now though, I'm just back from the pub and about to go to bed) [23:19] cjwatson: ok, you're looking for /var/log/installer/syslog ? [23:19] yeah [23:22] cjwatson: ok, here's a gist https://gist.github.com/247bb0890b0839e3cd94 [23:23] 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 [23:27] 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] I'm guessing that's the problem [23:27] fix the repository you're trying to get things from and it should work [23:29] 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 [23:30] also you have 'd-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean' which should be 'd-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true' [23:30] really off to bed now [23:31] ok, thanks for the advice [23:31] pleasant dreams to you :) [23:49] 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
