| annunaki2k2 | cjwatson: here | 14:31 |
| cjwatson | annunaki2k2: ok, so given that sudo is in the base system, you can't easily insert before it, which is what I was hoping | 14:32 |
| cjwatson | annunaki2k2: so I think the most straightforward approach would be to not use pkgsel/include for this package, and instead do it by hand slightly afterwards | 14:32 |
| cjwatson | annunaki2k2: something like this should work: d-i preseed/late_command string SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=1 apt-install sudo-ldap | 14:33 |
| annunaki2k2 | cjwatson: ahh, brilliant idea! | 14:34 |
| annunaki2k2 | cjwatson: think I'll give that a try right now - again (sadly) it takes a long time to get to that point in the installation, but it'll be worth the wait | 14:34 |
| annunaki2k2 | cjwatson: is it worth me filing a bug on this one as well? | 14:35 |
| cjwatson | as on #debian-boot, I think there should be a bug that this behaviour of sudo is only controllable in the environment and not by debconf preseeding, yes | 14:38 |
| annunaki2k2 | thanks - I'll file one shortly | 14:39 |
| CIA-4 | grub-installer: cjwatson * r1173 lucid-proposed/ (debian/changelog grub-installer): Canonicalise device names printed by 'mdadm --detail' (LP: #695842). | 14:58 |
| annunaki2k2 | cjwatson: unfortunately that didn't work. | 15:18 |
| annunaki2k2 | cjwatson: There is a different error this time: "Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled." | 15:18 |
| cjwatson | oh, drat, sorry | 15:18 |
| annunaki2k2 | no problems - I appreciate any help, even if it doesn't work :-) | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | in that case | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | firstly, don't reboot yet | 15:19 |
| annunaki2k2 | haven't - but have grabbed syslog in case you'd like it again | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | it's OK, I know what the problem is | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | d-i preseed/late_command string SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=1 debconf-apt-progress --no-progress --logstderr -- apt-get -q -y install sudo-ldap | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | tedious :-/ | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | er, blast, still wrong | 15:21 |
| cjwatson | d-i preseed/late_command string in-target sh -c 'SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=1 debconf-apt-progress --no-progress --logstderr -- apt-get -q -y install sudo-ldap' | 15:22 |
| cjwatson | I think I'm going to change apt-install to have an --allow-remove option so that SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=1 apt-install --allow-remove sudo-ldap would be sufficient - that incantation is fairly ridiculous | 15:22 |
| annunaki2k2 | ok, I can add that to the preseed, but you said do not reboot. Can I assume there is a way to implement that straight away? | 15:23 |
| annunaki2k2 | that's a fair point, but then again, it's great to know there is a work around all the same | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | if you hadn't rebooted then you could have tested it out from the shell on alt-f2, which would be quicker | 15:24 |
| cjwatson | easier to iterate that way | 15:24 |
| annunaki2k2 | so you mean just run the command in shell command? I have not rebooted it yet | 15:25 |
| cjwatson | ah, I misread | 15:25 |
| cjwatson | yeah, just type everything from "in-target" onwards into the shell | 15:25 |
| annunaki2k2 | unfortunately: "sh: debconf-apt-progress: not found" | 15:28 |
| annunaki2k2 | I have tried /usr/bin/debconf-apt-progress too, but it does the same | 15:28 |
| cjwatson | uh, that's fairly odd | 15:29 |
| cjwatson | you've definitely got all the quotes right and included the in-target bit? | 15:29 |
| cjwatson | 15:28 <CIA-3> cjwatson * r230f451 debian-installer-utils/ (README apt-install debian/changelog): Add an --allow-remove option to apt-install, which inhibits passing --no-remove to apt-get. | 15:29 |
| annunaki2k2 | and if i run only whats in the quotes I get the same | 15:30 |
| annunaki2k2 | yes, fairly sure I have it all correctly typed | 15:31 |
| annunaki2k2 | This is the netboot installer - does that make a difference? Where in the busybox shell should debconf-..... be located? | 15:32 |
| annunaki2k2 | is it okay to call the one inside "/target"? | 15:33 |
| annunaki2k2 | scratch that - just explicitly specified /target/usr/bin/debconf-apt-progress and that didn't help | 15:36 |
| annunaki2k2 | same error | 15:36 |
| annunaki2k2 | In fact, when I run /target/usr/bin/debconf-apt-progress with no parameters, it still says "not found" | 15:37 |
| cjwatson | that would not work at all | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | in-target is a wrapper for chroot /target so you should not have /target in the path | 15:38 |
| annunaki2k2 | ok - just trying anyway | 15:38 |
| cjwatson | what does 'echo $PATH' say at the busybox shell? | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | running only what is in the quotes would fail miserably, fwiw | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | and it doesn't make a difference that this is the netboot installer | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | can you confirm (with ls) that /target/usr/bin/debconf-apt-progress exists? | 15:40 |
| CIA-4 | usb-creator: evand * r336 usb-creator/ (7 files in 7 dirs): Add the ability to test freshly written disks in KVM. | 15:40 |
| annunaki2k2 | right, having said that in-target was a wrapper to chroot makes some sense now. When you said 'from "in-target" onwards' I ran the "sh -c ....." bit only. Prefixing in-target works.... | 15:40 |
| annunaki2k2 | ...sorry for that | 15:40 |
| cjwatson | ah, yes, I meant inclusive | 15:42 |
| cjwatson | ok, so if that works and results in sudo-ldap being installed in /target, you should be able to add that to your preseed and test from scratch | 15:43 |
| annunaki2k2 | yes, well it hasn't come back with any errors expect ones that I think are only relating to having to run in "noninteractive mode". Adding to the preseed file and trying anyway... | 15:46 |
| annunaki2k2 | cjwatson: it has worked perfectly - thank you so much for your help | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | oh good, you're welcome | 16:48 |
| ev | hm, is it just me or do our instructions for writing Ubuntu to a USB disk on Mac not work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/565473/ | 17:30 |
| ev | looking at http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/hdiutil.1.html I don't see how hdiutil would actually write boot code to the MBR, and even then, Mac wouldn't boot it as it doesn't support anything but EFI from USB devices. | 17:31 |
| gswallow | Hello, all. | 19:40 |
| gswallow | I would like to exclude deb-src lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list file when I automatically install ubuntu. Is this possible without having to resort to preseed/late? Is there an apt-setup quesiton that I'm not aware of (and is there an easy way to figure out where these apt-setup options are?) | 19:42 |
| gswallow | Thanks. | 19:42 |
| cjwatson | there is no way to preseed that away other than preseed/late_command, sorry | 19:44 |
| gswallow | fair enough. | 19:44 |
| gswallow | thanks again! | 19:44 |
