| cjwatson | ev: bug 711965 seems like it must be a ubiquity bug (since the difference is essentially maybe-ubiquity), but it's weird that he can't get to a tty. Any thoughts? | 13:09 |

| ev | I'm going to suggest he edit the kernel command line to add maybe-ubiquity and remove quiet splash, to get a better idea of what's going on. | 13:58 |

| NCommander | cjwatson: hey, you about, I want to discuss the possibility of doing a full re-write of flash-kernel to use archdetect and drop the vast majority of the current Debian specific code | 14:26 |
| cjwatson | I would much rather you had that conversation with the people in Debian who care about flash-kernel, honestly | 14:28 |
| cjwatson | I don't know enough about it | 14:28 |
| cjwatson | look up names in the changelog perhaps? e.g. tbm might well have useful thoughts | 14:29 |
| NCommander | cjwatson: actually, I kinda want to break from Debian. The Debian flash-kernel and the Ubuntu one have already significantly diverged, and with the move to use archdetect-deb vs. /proc/cpuinfo, that diff is still going to continue to increase. As Debian currently targets mostly embedded platforms, and we're targetting desktop like, we're not gaining a lot by having a common codebase | 14:31 |
| cjwatson | why not call yours something else then? | 14:32 |
| cjwatson | I'm generally not going to support complete rewrites, TBH | 14:32 |
| cjwatson | but if you want a separate tool, that's up to you | 14:32 |
| NCommander | cjwatson: that's acceptable and understandable, in that case, what's your stance in using a new tool over f-k in d-i or ubiquity? | 14:34 |
| ev | before I proceed, can anyone come up with a good reason why I shouldn't have a separate oem-config-slideshow-ubuntu binary package instead of keeping the ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu package on the target system? So far it's only a s/installing/configuring/g. | 14:35 |
| cjwatson | NCommander: they shouldn't conflict, so it should be possible to include both | 14:36 |
| cjwatson | they can just each handle whichever subarchitectures they handle | 14:36 |
| cjwatson | ev: suppose it depends how much work it is to maintain that; I can't think of any other reasons | 14:37 |
| cjwatson | might be best to arrange for those binaries not to conflict though | 14:37 |
| cjwatson | ev: how's it going with bug 683260? | 14:38 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 683260 in casper "persistence doesn't work on liveusb" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/683260 | 14:38 |
| NCommander | cjwatson: I much perfer that idea | 14:38 |
| ev | they don't. oem-config-slideshow-ubuntu does the conflicts, replaces, provides dance with oem-config-slideshow. | 14:38 |
| ev | cjwatson: thanks for the prod, firing up KVM now. | 14:39 |
| cjwatson | this KDE frontend keyboard configuration bug is a right nightmare | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | not entirely convinced it's KDE-specific, but not going to divert to check | 14:42 |
| ev | yikes, yeah, I was having a hard time following it as well | 14:42 |
| cjwatson | it's got something to do with the keyboard-configuration/store_defaults_in_debconf_db spaghetti mess | 14:44 |
| cjwatson | but simply blatting that to false causes a different set of problems | 14:44 |

| gswallow | Hello, all. I have another question; this time regarding ufw's debconf questions. I have tried both ufw/allow_custom_ports and ufw/allow_known_ports, but neither of them seems to work. Is this supported? | 15:58 |
| cjwatson | gswallow: I don't know the details of ufw, but did you remember that the first field in your preseed file needs to be the package name rather than "d-i" when preseeding packages that aren't part of the installer? | 16:00 |
| gswallow | yes sir | 16:00 |
| cjwatson | you'd need to ask somebody who knows about ufw in particular then | 16:00 |
| gswallow | I'm poring through the syslog and I wonder if I included packages-preseed.txt in the wrong spot in the initial preseed.txt file. | 16:00 |
| cjwatson | ordering in the preseed file doesn't matter | 16:01 |
| cjwatson | think of it as a list of database assignments before you set everything off (in fact, that's pretty much what it is) | 16:01 |
| gswallow | ok | 16:02 |
