arjunaraocHi cjwatson, want to know  Telugu status in Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3 for boot time support.09:09
brendandhi09:11
brendanddoes anyone have any tips on getting good logs out of d-i09:11
brendandi have another dhcp config issue in natty this time09:12
brendandwith the server image09:12
cjwatsonstieg: I don't know offhand whether there's a bug11:02
cjwatsonstieg: 'ubiquity ubiquity/reboot true' is syntactically incorrect.  Try 'ubiquity ubiquity/reboot boolean true'?11:03
cjwatsonbrendand: back up to main menu, select "save debug logs", extract syslog and partman from there11:03
cjwatson(well, just syslog in this case, but in general ...)11:03
ograhmm, so oem-config doesnt work at all on serial console (unless i remove all tty upstart jobs) ... funnily the debconf post oem-config run *does* happen on serial12:06
ograoh, fun and oem-config doesnt finish at all, seems it directly skips to package removal12:20
ogra(no user is created, admin group doesnt exists etc etc)12:20
ograhmm, but the new hostname is set12:21
ograand syslog doesnt show anything after netcfg12:27
ograweird12:27
cjwatsonstieg: actually, compatibility with the old console-setup/* names caused https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/698263 - so I think I would rather not attempt to reintroduce compatibility there, sorry13:06
ubot2Launchpad bug 698263 in console-setup "keyboard-configuration set's console layout to us,af on update" [High,Fix released]13:06

evcjwatson: I've attached a new wubi to the bug report.  I'd upload it to rookery, but I don't have access to my gpg keyring until I get home on Thursday night.13:23
evbut will do so then13:24
cjwatsonok, will probably need to wait for that before we can have working CDs then13:26
cjwatsonthanks13:26
cjwatsonev: ah, you built with an old GRUB by the looks of things though13:26
cjwatsonat least according to the description of that attachment13:27
evyikes, sorry13:27
evfixing now13:27
cjwatsonI suspect I'll still want to switch over to GRUB 2's ntldr-img before natty13:28
cjwatsonI'm not convinced that the bug I thought I saw in GRLDR was an artefact13:28
CIA-7partman-auto: cjwatson * r599 ubuntu/ (4 files in 3 dirs): Guard against blkid returning non-zero (LP: #729394).13:37
CIA-7partman-auto: cjwatson * r600 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 93ubuntu1013:42
stiegcjwatson: No worries about that.  The entry I mentioned earlier is getting me around the issue so its all good.  However I am still hitting the reboot prompt.  I have "ubiquity ubiquity/reboot boolean true" in the preseed file but thats still a no go.17:35
cjwatsonadd debug-ubiquity as a boot parameter (on the kernel command line), show me /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug17:36
stiegcjwatson: ack.  Give me a few minutes to let it do its thing17:38
arjunaraocHi cjwatson,  want to know when Telugu will be supported at boot time. Is it present in alpha 3, as indicated in earlier email dialogue17:48
stiegcjwatson: where would you like me to post the log files?  Paste bin somewhere?17:50
stiegdebconf (developer): <-- FGET ubiquity/reboot seen17:53
stiegdebconf (developer): --> 0 true17:53
stiegdebconf (developer): <-- FGET ubiquity/poweroff seen17:53
stiegdebconf (developer): --> 0 false17:53
cjwatsonpastebin - I don't want to debug partial logs17:54
cjwatsonarjunaraoc: argh, sorry, it fell off my stack17:54
stiegnp17:54
arjunaraochi cjwatson, np can you let me know when is it likely to happen17:55
stiegcjwatson: Here is the debug log: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/580211/17:55
stiegcjwatson: And here is the syslog http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/580212/17:55
cjwatsonstieg: and what's the exact text of the message you're seeing?17:56
stiegInstallation is complete.  You need to restart the computer in order to use the new installation17:57
cjwatsonstieg: ah, I think this will fix it:17:58
cjwatsonubiquity ubiquity/shutdown boolean true17:58
stiegshutdown?  eh?  Whats the difference between that and the poweroff?  Won't that cause the computer to simple turnoff instead of reboot?17:59
cjwatsonactually, perhaps best 'boolean false' there17:59
cjwatsonand in fact I have the whole thing wrong, one moment18:00
stiegare you looking in the prepare method18:00
cjwatsonubiquity ubiquity/poweroff boolean false18:00
cjwatson^- use that18:00
stiegsure.  I can easily throw that in18:00
cjwatsonthe value actually doesn't matter here, it just needs to be marked as seen so that ubiquity knows it's preseeded18:00
stieghahahaha... oh man18:01
stieg:P18:01
stiegthats kinda funny :)18:01
stiegI'll give it a run18:01
arjunaraocHi cjwatson, kindly update on email, when Telugu boot is supported when you get some time. I am keen to see it as part of 11.04 and would like to help towards the same. Bye18:01
stiegcjwatson: is that a regression from 10.10?  I never used to specify the poweroff flag18:02
cjwatsonpreseeding isn't guaranteed to be stable across releases18:03
cjwatsonubiquity/poweroff was added since 10.1018:03
cjwatsonI don't know if this is necessarily the best way to implement its preseeding, though - it would be worth filing a bug18:04
stiegAgreed.  Let me test it first and if it works I will file the bug and give you the URL for it18:05
stiegcjwatson: That did the trick.  Reboot happened18:09
cjwatsongood18:09
cjwatsonI don't need the URL, just paste in this IRC conversation or something :)18:09
stiegyou got it.18:09
cjwatsonthanks18:09
stiegcjwatson: Filed bug 735097.  Might I say I really dislike how I have to file bugs using the ubuntu-bug app.  Is there a way to circumvent that?20:56
ubot2Launchpad bug 735097 in ubiquity "Ubiquity not auto-restarting with "ubiquity ubiquity/reboot boolean true" in preseed file" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73509720:56
cjwatsonstieg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Filing%20bugs%20at%20Launchpad.net20:59
stiegcjwatson: Thanks.  Of course the answer lies down in the area that I didn't read :P21:01
