acathurhi. how can i tell installer to make target system default boot to second entry in grub (revocery boot)?09:16
acathuri'm actually looking for the proper line in the preseed file to do that09:19
cjwatsonyou'd have to use a preseed/late_command to fiddle with GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and re-run update-grub09:20
cjwatsonthere's no specialised preseedable question for it09:21
acathurcjwatson: thanks. is there any place where i can find all the preseedable questions in installer? "debconf-get-selection --installer" doesn't seem to be quite right, in some cases09:23
cjwatsonno, the installation guide has all the documented ones09:23
cjwatsonI can't recommend using 'debconf-get-selections --installer' - it outputs too much internal stuff that shouldn't be preseeded09:23
acathurand for the update-grub you suggested above, should i use "in-target" before using it in pressed/late_command?09:25
acathuri'm no sure where exactly that "in-target" should be used09:26
cjwatsonyes, 'in-target update-grub' should work09:28
acathurthank you09:28
FourDollarscjwatson: I found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/987739 .10:06
ubot2Launchpad bug 987739 in grub2 "grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem." [Undecided,Confirmed]10:06
cjwatsonstack full, sorry10:09
FourDollarsI see. :)10:10
FourDollarsI have found the workaround to bypass this bug.10:10
cjwatsonI left a comment suggesting a better one10:11
cjwatsonI don't think it's a GRUB bug10:11
FourDollarsThanks.10:15
acathurcjwatson: The late_command method didn't work. I guess probably grub installs after late_command?10:28
cjwatsonno10:28
cjwatsoncheck the syslog I guess10:28
jibelwhat is the expected behavior of m-a if I import a user from Windows with a different username than the user I created on Ubuntu ?15:19
evjibel: it should import the stuff from the windows account into the ubuntu one16:07
evassuming it's things that m-a can parse - the code is fairly old and configuration formats have moved on16:07
jibelev, I filed bug 98790216:08
ubot2Launchpad bug 987902 in ubiquity "m-a doesn't migrate Windows account" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/98790216:08
jibelif I select the user 'ubuntu' settings are imported16:08
evwhat version of firefox?16:08
jibelif I select 'jibel' they are not16:08
evoh, interesting16:08
evso you're saying that if the usernames in windows and ubuntu match, then it works, otherwise it doesn't?16:09
evjibel: if that's the case I'd be vaguely interested in seeing a run of the failing variant with --debug set.16:10
jibelthe bug report is a failing import and with ubiquity -d16:13
evwhoops, I missed that :)16:14
jibelI don't know if the non matching names is why it fails to import. just trying to understand16:14
evjibel: so you the user you set up on the user setup page was ubuntu16:16
evand all the settings are imported into that user16:16
evthat's the expected behavior16:16
evdid the install actually create a jibel user?16:17
jibelI created 'ubuntu' during installation and selected 'jibel' in m-a16:17
jibelso should jibel settings been imported into ubuntu ?16:17
evjibel: it imports all the settings for the users you check in m-a into the user you create during installation16:17
jibelev, ok. in this case it fails16:18
evI'm still not seeing how it's failing.16:18
jibelI'm currently doing the test again but selected ubuntu instead and it is importing the settings16:18

evjibel: are you sure you ticked the box for that user in the m-a page?16:25
jibelev, I'm tired but I'm 99% sure I did :)16:25
evokay16:25
evand this looks like a resize install. That's correct?16:28
evjibel: if you can reproduce this failing case, can you apply this patch to /usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-migrationassistant.py first http://paste.ubuntu.com/944350/16:33
evrun the installer with --debug as normal16:33
evreally can't see how you'd end up in that state if you checked the boxes, but hoping this will shed some light on that16:34
jibelev, it was a replace existing precise install iirc16:35
jibelev, ok, I'll run with the patch16:36
evthanks16:36
