reaxionHi there :)02:14
reaxionI am trying to use my locally generated repository to install maverick, and have changed the livecd's apt sources.list, but it still keeps using an internet repository rather than what I specify in sources.list.  Is there a way to force Ubiquity to use my local LAN repositories?02:16
reaxionI have many machines to install, so would rather have them installed from the LAN repo02:17
tjaaltonhow come does partman-lvm ask me to confirm the partitioning when I'm using the crypto method, but not when plain lvm is used?10:26
tjaaltonon lucid10:26
tjaaltonand partman-lvm/confirm is preseeded on both cases10:26
cjwatsonI don't know, would need to see a complete DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer log10:30
tjaaltonok, I'll get that in a minute10:30
tjaaltonthough the message is different from the one that partman-lvm/confirm has..10:31
tjaaltonso maybe there's another value that needs to be preseeded that I haven't found yet10:32
cjwatsonpartman-crypto/confirm comes to mine10:38

cjwatson_Description: Write the changes to disk and configure encrypted volumes?10:38

tjaaltondidn't notice that then :)10:38
tjaaltonand grep didn't "work"10:38

rneese_cjwatson: hello15:21
rneese_I joined here15:21
cjwatsonrneese_: http://pastebin.com/9zRat1NB should be a bit closer - preseed/late_command is run in the installer environment, so you need to either chroot or adjust paths for each command15:22
cjwatsonI used in-target for the apt-get command because that does a bit more stuff to ensure that the environment is set up properly for package operations15:23
rneese_ok15:23
rneese_reading the file15:24
rneese_so cjwatson all I do now is add it to the cd15:29
rneese_ok the way you did this is alot easier to understand15:32
rneese_cjwatson: trying to setup partitioningnow15:55
rneese_in the file15:55
cjwatsonhttps://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html#preseed-loading15:55
cjwatson(for how to load the file)15:56
cjwatsonand you should read https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-intro.html for general context15:56
rneese_ok15:59
rneese_reading15:59
rneese_cjwatson: so if answers are not in the preceed.cfg then the system ask for input ?16:34
rneese_and where it finds answers it skips and uses the presets16:34
cjwatsonas a general rule, yes16:34
rneese_ok16:34
rneese_cool16:36
rneese_I am closer to having it done.16:36
rneese_then just to add it to the cd and I am done16:37
rneese_what is the best by default ext2/3/4/ ?16:38
rneese_for filesystem16:38
cjwatsonif you haven't benchmarked, just use the default16:39
cjwatsonif you have particular performance criteria, I cannot answer your question - you should benchmark locally16:39
rneese_ok16:52
rneese_cjwatson: not seing how to add it to a existing cd17:09
rneese_I have to remaster the cd it looks like17:09
cjwatsonyes, you do17:10
rneese_and get a md5 on the file also17:10
* cjwatson -> away for the evening17:10
rneese_grr17:10
rneese_ok17:10
rneese_ltr17:10
