| Jemt | Good morning. I have Ubuntu installed on a USB stick. Furthermore I have remastered the Ubuntu CD, so it now includes a new boot entry used to start the USB installation. Unfortunately the language selected in the "F2 language menu" is not written to "/proc/cmdline", as it is when Ubuntu is started from the CD instead. Can someone help me figure out where /proc/cmdline is populated? | 10:01 |
| Jemt | Away for an hour or so. Staying on the channel in case someone can help me | 12:58 |
| cjwatson | Jemt: if you can give me a USB stick image I can download, or a script to do the remastering, then I can look in a couple of days. | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | the code that sets the kernel command line from gfxboot is in the buildcmdline function in common.inc in 'apt-get source gfxboot-theme-ubuntu' - but it is really not easy to read, since the language in which it's written is an entirely custom one that SuSE invented. | 15:11 |
| Jemt | Back | 15:47 |
| Jemt | cjwatson: Oh, I see. Wonder why they created a new language for that. But it would be of great help if you could take a look at it. Let me just prepare an ISO for you - it will be online shortly | 15:53 |
| cjwatson | I'm in a hotel, and about to be travelling, so Monday is the earliest I'll be able to download it | 15:59 |
| Jemt | cjwatson: That's fine - I really appreciate that you take the time to help me | 16:00 |
| Jemt | Do you want me to send you the links by e-mail ? | 16:00 |
| Jemt | Actually you also need a small preparation script which must be executed before you install my custom version of Ubuntu to the USB stick | 16:01 |
| cjwatson | e-mail would probably be best | 16:01 |
| cjwatson | cjwatson@ubuntu.com | 16:01 |
| Jemt | Thank you. I'll send it as soon as the download is ready :) | 16:01 |
