[00:00] <GrueMaster> I thought it would be more intelligent than that.  Now I have to add intelligence to f-k-i.
[00:00] <infinity> I can do the shell bits in f-k-i.
[00:00] <infinity> I know how you love shell. ;)
[00:00] <GrueMaster> If it was perl, I'd be all over it.
[00:01] <GrueMaster> But seeing how everyone around here loves perl....
[00:01] <infinity> I have nothing against perl.
[00:01] <infinity> Plenty against pulling another interpreter into d-i, though.
[00:03] <GrueMaster> If you can fix it, great.  Be sure to tag bug 848782 and bug 921137.
[00:03] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 848782 in flash-kernel "Serial console not enabled for passphrase prompt when using LUKS" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/848782
[00:03] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 921137 in flash-kernel "Flash-kernel-installer doesn't support d-i debian-installer/add-kernel-opts in preseed " [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/921137
[00:11] <rcn-ee> GrueMaster, if flash-kernel is going to read kernel-opts, how about a nice "stop, don't run flash-installer" option, for those of use with custom kernel's. ;)
[00:12] <GrueMaster> rcn-ee: This is for netboot install only.  If you are doing a custom kernel install with netboot, there are other settings you can add to the preseed for that.
[00:13] <rcn-ee> there is? guess i haven't looked thru the d-i preseed options enough.. ( just let flash-installer run, and then cleanup with a script before rebooting..)
[00:16] <GrueMaster> "d-i base-installer/kernel/skip-install boolean true" will skip the normal kernel install.  Then you can add a package repo and install a kernel in a later section.  I have that for a dev platform where the kernel is only on my local server (not in the pool).
[00:17] <rcn-ee> cool GrueMaster, thanks for that tip.. (your doing pretty much what i was doing..)  I'll give that option a run over the weekend..
[00:19] <GrueMaster> Now this is getting ridiculous.  I have been trying to reimage all day and keep hitting this:  in-target:   Temporary failure resolving 'mirror.gruenet'
[00:19] <GrueMaster> Only happens when installing the kernel.
[00:25] <infinity> GrueMaster: Yeah, I'll take both those bugs and upload later tonight.
[00:25] <infinity> GrueMaster: In the process of doing a migration on my co-lo machine right now, and I have the KVM for a limited time, so that forced me to take a break. :P
[00:26] <GrueMaster> Ah
[00:26] <GrueMaster> No rush.  Just had the code in front of me and thought I'd give it a go.
[00:26] <GrueMaster> Ran out of steam.
[00:28] <infinity> Does LVM really require a /boot outside the VG, or is partman being overly cautious?
[00:29] <infinity> I thought grub could peer into LVM volumes.
[00:29] <GrueMaster> Grub can.  u-boot can't.
[00:29] <infinity> Sure, but this co-lo machine is x86. :P
[00:30] <infinity> And d-i's telling me it wants a small ext2 /boot outside the VG.
[00:30] <GrueMaster> And I don't think grub can peer into an encrypted filesystem.
[00:30] <infinity> Trying to decide if that's necessary, or a bug.
[00:30] <infinity> Yeah, not doing encrypted.
[00:30] <GrueMaster> Oh.
[00:30] <GrueMaster> exit
[00:31] <GrueMaster> sigh.  Sometimes two monitors can be a pita.
[09:29] <scientes> what is the best way to install ubuntu-arm in qemu?
[09:29] <scientes> link with virt-manager
[09:32] <shaola> qemu-usr-static and debootsrtap?
