[13:16] debian-installer: cjwatson * r1614 ubuntu/ (build/config/armel/omap4.cfg debian/changelog): Move armel/omap4 and armhf/omap4 to 3.2.0-1404 kernels. [13:18] debian-installer: cjwatson * r1615 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 20101020ubuntu100 [16:52] Is there any reason why precise netinstall is now prompting me for hostname? I haven't changed my preseed since UDS, and this appears to be fairly recent (couple of weeks). [16:53] It still gets the hostname from dhcp, but then it is asking for verification. [16:53] not that I know of - can I have a DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer log? [16:53] netcfg hasn't changed since oneiric [16:54] Sure, I'll pastebin it as soon as possible. [16:56] ev, Hi. can one preseed ubiquity (oneiric) to enable partners archive in end user sources.list? default is present but commented out. [16:58] kyleN: d-i apt-setup/partner boolean true [16:59] thank you cjwatson [17:03] cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/814453/ [17:06] preseed is :http://paste.ubuntu.com/814457/ [17:12] GrueMaster: you need to put network preseeding on the kernel command line - your preseed file isn't being processed until after the network is configured, because you're using url= [17:12] this hasn't changed in forever, so maybe you changed kernel parameters recently or something? [17:13] I haven't changed much on the cmdline either. Checking the latest changes now, but url= is what I have used forever. [17:15] Only changes I can see is debconf/priority=critical and DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text [17:15] The first one is now debconf/priority=high [17:15] well, that would cause this question to be asked too [17:16] Ah, so switch back to critical? [17:16] since this question is asked at priority high [17:16] depends why you changed in the first place :) [17:17] More logging info (according to the limited documentation). [17:17] that's incorrect [17:17] the one and only purpose of dropping the priority is to cause more questions to be asked [17:17] it doesn't alter logging [17:18] I initially switched DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text on, but wasn't getting much of anything on the serial console. [17:18] This is more for serial console monitoring than syslog output. [17:18] you only get output from DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text if questions are asked ... [17:19] so if you're regarding that as logging, then I guess, but that's not its purpose, it's an interaction method [17:20] Well, my goal is to be able to monitor the serial console during install and either fail the install or script around hiccups (like on some semi-unsupported platforms). [17:20] wouldn't anything that requires that kind of thing result in a question being asked? [17:21] (actually, progress bars should result in text frontend output too) [17:21] No, progress bars show as: Attempting IPv6 autoconfiguration; please wait... ..10%..20%..30%..100% [17:21] As opposed to curl formatting. [17:21] that's what I said :) [17:22] that's text frontend output for the debconf progress bar type [17:22] progress bar output from programs goes to syslog - I don't anticipate changing that [17:23] but nothing in d-i should ever hang forever in a subsidiary program anyway - if it's something that may need to be cancelled, it should be a cancellable progress bar [17:23] now, admittedly the text frontend has no support for the cancellable capability [17:23] but I think at this point it would be worth discussing specifics of what you want to be able to script rather than upgrading bits of plumbing on-spec [17:24] The hangs I experience are partially mirror/pool skew and also missing kernels. [17:24] missing kernels will be a question [17:24] as will mirror/pool skew [17:24] if those aren't showing up as questions even at priority critical then we have a bug [17:25] questions of error type are displayed regardless of priority [17:26] so I wouldn't expect dropping the priority to have any influence on that [17:28] Ok, I'll rechange it here and try again. [17:28] I guess you'd have to have a way to reproduce such errors reliably [17:29] temporarily move a package aside on a local mirror or something [17:32] I can reproduce it on a platform that we don't have a kernel in the mirror for. I think I may have switched priority before switching the frontend, come to think of it. [17:33] Anyways, thanks for the info. Documentation ... needs work. :P [17:39] Hello, how is everyone? I had a quick question troubleshooting my ubuntu 11.10 server installation. I installed the same OS on 2 different servers and I'm experiencing the same problem. What happens is I turn on the server, it's ok for few hours, and then when I try to SSH to it, it get a time out, when I plug in the keyboard, and type something then I can connect to it again. Seems [17:39] that it's going to some kind of sleep mode. Note, no desktop was installed just pure server OS. Anyone had this issue before? what could cause it? Thanks [17:40] doesn't sound like an installer bug, out of our purview :) [17:40] uh [17:41] I guess either a kernel- or server-oriented channel might know more [17:42] thanks ill try there [22:42] ubiquity: stgraber * r5126 ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py: gtk_ui.py: Update our CSS to fix rendering of GtkComboBox following light-themes update (was dark text on dark background, now light text on dark background) [22:45] ubiquity: stgraber * r5127 ubiquity/debian/changelog: Update changelog [23:03] cjwatson: not to be annoying, but is there an ETA for for bug 917905 ?
