| CIA-4 | console-setup: If we detect the above breakage (upgrading from anything between | 12:14 |
| CIA-4 | console-setup: 1.57ubuntu1 and 1.57ubuntu4 inclusive, and the XKB* values in | 12:14 |
| CIA-4 | console-setup: /etc/default/keyboard differ from the commented-out values in | 12:14 |

| CIA-4 | console-setup: /etc/default/console-setup. | 12:14 |
| cjwatson | I ended up not asking confirmatory debconf questions after all | 12:15 |
| ev | cjwatson: I was able to successfully create an isohybrid disk (though still trying to convince it to live entirely on a partition boot record / partition so that it plays nice with a second ext2 partition with a casper-rw label). | 12:29 |
| ev | cjwatson: however, I'm now concerned that reusing a disk would require wiping the contents unless the ISO size matched, and one of the design goals with usb-creator was to be as non-destructive as possible. I guess we could pad it out a bit, but I still foresee issues. | 12:29 |
| ev | 'twould be nice if we could chainload a grub loopback'd iso, but that's obviously not possible. | 12:29 |
| ev | I guess usb-creator could grow partition resizing code, and we could put the hybrid iso at partition 2 to avoid an expensive move operation or having to wipe the disk on the first go. | 12:29 |
| cjwatson | is casper-rw always a file right now? | 12:32 |
| cjwatson | and how do you deal with reusing an existing disk at the moment? | 12:32 |
| CIA-4 | console-setup: cjwatson * r381 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.57ubuntu5 | 12:33 |
| ev | cjwatson: sorry, went for coffee. Yes, casper-rw is always a file. | 12:38 |
| ev | we deal with reusing an existing disk by overwriting the files and always using vfat | 12:38 |
| cjwatson | so any file that's on the stick but not in the iso will be left untouched? | 12:39 |
| ev | to be clear, when I say non-destructive I mean in the sense that you can still use the disk to store files to share with windows without worrying about them getting deleted if you want to try a newer version of ubuntu | 12:39 |
| ev | correct | 12:39 |
| cjwatson | and of course using an iso9660 filesystem would lose the ability to store files directly on the disk | 12:40 |
| cjwatson | argh | 12:40 |
| ev | indeed | 12:41 |
| ev | also, the iso size may grow if I ever finish my branch to integrate a software center button (unsquashfs + chroot) | 12:44 |
| * ev ponders | 12:45 | |
| cjwatson | and isolinux probably just doesn't understand vfat at all, so there's no way to do this with isolinux if you want to keep that properly | 12:51 |
| cjwatson | *property | 12:51 |
| cjwatson | so I suspect that a copy of old syslinux is the only way to solve the immediate problem :-( | 12:51 |
| ev | how would isolinux solve this if it did understand vfat? | 12:52 |
| ev | oh duh, sorry | 13:00 |
| ev | once we move to grub, could we pull grub from the CD boot record instead of writing our own using grub from the running system? | 13:02 |
| cjwatson | yeah, should be possible, and the grub core image can just be built with both iso9660 and vfat support | 13:07 |
| ev | awesome | 13:08 |
| cjwatson | ev: could you commit the user-setup 1.28ubuntu13 release to bzr? | 14:10 |
| cjwatson | ev: and do you think bug 562312 is still feasible for alpha-2? | 14:19 |

| cody-somerville | cjwatson, is the debconf interface for oem-config in maverick borked? It seems to die on installing the system. | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | please file a bug, I'm finishing for the week | 17:15 |
| cr3 | is there something like an early command that can be preseeded in ubiquity? | 19:53 |
| cr3 | on the UbiquityAutomation wiki page, I see: * Evan needs to add a "a bit later than early command" preseed variable so that testing scripts can run once the desktop is available. | 19:54 |
| cr3 | is there a workaround in the meanwhile, short of changing the initrd.lz file? | 19:55 |
| sam____ | how to partition during installation? | 21:06 |
| sam____ | is there any1 to help me out please.... | 21:07 |
