| nsisodiya | Can we install or ship extra software/package on LiveCD without including in the squasefs | 09:07 |
| nsisodiya | OR in other words, how i can include Alternate CD type of preceeding into LiveCD of ubuntu | 09:08 |
| nsisodiya | If you are unable to understand what i am asking them please tell me, i will try to explain | 09:08 |
| ev | cjwatson: surely | 09:34 |
| ev | cjwatson: remind me what your idea for speeding up ubiquity builds was? Have console-setup as a build-dep of ubiquity, with some magic to depend on the latest version always? | 10:08 |
| cjwatson | I think what I said was to put the keymapper tree file in the console-setup .deb so that ubiquity doesn't need to build it | 10:11 |
| cjwatson | and check into whatever else is needed there | 10:11 |
| cjwatson | and then just have ubiquity depend on it (well, in fact it does already) | 10:11 |
| ev | ah right, it doesn't need to do anything special with it at build time. Sorry, not enough tea yet. | 10:12 |
| ev | cool, adding that to my todo list | 10:12 |

| jpluscplusm | hey all | 11:55 |
| jpluscplusm | http://serverfault.com/questions/143296/ubuntu-10-04-desktop-i386-does-not-work-with-http-preseed/144290#144290 seems to suggest that (Lucid) preseed requires the server or alternate ISO | 11:56 |
| jpluscplusm | does that sound correct and, if so, what class of installer does the Lucid mini.iso fall into? | 11:57 |
| jpluscplusm | tl;dr: does Lucid's mini.iso support preseed? | 11:57 |
| cjwatson | jpluscplusm: it's partly correct. the desktop installer does have some degree of automation facilities, documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation - although d-i (used on the server/alternate images) is inherently more flexible here | 11:59 |
| cjwatson | jpluscplusm: the mini.iso uses d-i, so you can use full preseeding with it. | 11:59 |
| jpluscplusm | cjwatson: many thanks; any input on why booting from the mini.iso with "linux auto url=http://IP/path" would cause a panic? | 12:34 |
| jpluscplusm | panic as per http://jpluscplusm.com/auto-install-failure.png | 12:35 |
| cjwatson | don't know, sorry | 12:35 |
| cjwatson | would have to see the text of the error | 12:35 |
| cjwatson | (but, lunch) | 12:35 |
| jpluscplusm | :) | 12:35 |
| * jpluscplusm figures it out: needed the params listed on that serverfault reply except initrd=initrd.gz and interface=auto | 13:00 | |
