[02:14] <reaxion> Hi there :)
[02:16] <reaxion> I 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?
[02:17] <reaxion> I have many machines to install, so would rather have them installed from the LAN repo
[10:26] <tjaalton> how 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] <tjaalton> on lucid
[10:26] <tjaalton> and partman-lvm/confirm is preseeded on both cases
[10:30] <cjwatson> I don't know, would need to see a complete DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer log
[10:30] <tjaalton> ok, I'll get that in a minute
[10:31] <tjaalton> though the message is different from the one that partman-lvm/confirm has..
[10:32] <tjaalton> so maybe there's another value that needs to be preseeded that I haven't found yet
[10:38] <cjwatson> partman-crypto/confirm comes to mine
[10:38] <cjwatson> *mind
[10:38] <cjwatson> _Description: Write the changes to disk and configure encrypted volumes?
[10:38] <tjaalton> ah, duh
[10:38] <tjaalton> didn't notice that then :)
[10:38] <tjaalton> and grep didn't "work"

[15:21] <rneese_> cjwatson: hello
[15:21] <rneese_> I joined here
[15:22] <cjwatson> rneese_: 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 command
[15:23] <cjwatson> I 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 operations
[15:23] <rneese_> ok
[15:24] <rneese_> reading the file
[15:29] <rneese_> so cjwatson all I do now is add it to the cd
[15:32] <rneese_> ok the way you did this is alot easier to understand
[15:55] <rneese_> cjwatson: trying to setup partitioningnow
[15:55] <rneese_> in the file
[15:55] <cjwatson> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html#preseed-loading
[15:56] <cjwatson> (for how to load the file)
[15:56] <cjwatson> and you should read https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-intro.html for general context
[15:59] <rneese_> ok
[15:59] <rneese_> reading
[16:34] <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 presets
[16:34] <cjwatson> as a general rule, yes
[16:34] <rneese_> ok
[16:36] <rneese_> cool
[16:36] <rneese_> I am closer to having it done.
[16:37] <rneese_> then just to add it to the cd and I am done
[16:38] <rneese_> what is the best by default ext2/3/4/ ?
[16:38] <rneese_> for filesystem
[16:39] <cjwatson> if you haven't benchmarked, just use the default
[16:39] <cjwatson> if you have particular performance criteria, I cannot answer your question - you should benchmark locally
[16:52] <rneese_> ok
[17:09] <rneese_> cjwatson: not seing how to add it to a existing cd
[17:09] <rneese_> I have to remaster the cd it looks like
[17:10] <cjwatson> yes, you do
[17:10] <rneese_> and get a md5 on the file also
[17:10]  * cjwatson -> away for the evening
[17:10] <rneese_> grr
[17:10] <rneese_> ok
[17:10] <rneese_> ltr
[17:25] <rneese_> ok where do I put the file on the iso /root ?
[17:47] <rneese_> do I put it in the preceed dir ?
