[09:16] <acathur> hi. how can i tell installer to make target system default boot to second entry in grub (revocery boot)?
[09:19] <acathur> i'm actually looking for the proper line in the preseed file to do that
[09:20] <cjwatson> you'd have to use a preseed/late_command to fiddle with GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and re-run update-grub
[09:21] <cjwatson> there's no specialised preseedable question for it
[09:23] <acathur> cjwatson: 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 cases
[09:23] <cjwatson> no, the installation guide has all the documented ones
[09:23] <cjwatson> I can't recommend using 'debconf-get-selections --installer' - it outputs too much internal stuff that shouldn't be preseeded
[09:25] <acathur> and for the update-grub you suggested above, should i use "in-target" before using it in pressed/late_command?
[09:26] <acathur> i'm no sure where exactly that "in-target" should be used
[09:28] <cjwatson> yes, 'in-target update-grub' should work
[09:28] <acathur> thank you

[10:06] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 987739 in grub2 "grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem." [Undecided,Confirmed]
[10:09] <cjwatson> stack full, sorry
[10:10] <FourDollars> I see. :)
[10:10] <FourDollars> I have found the workaround to bypass this bug.
[10:11] <cjwatson> I left a comment suggesting a better one
[10:11] <cjwatson> I don't think it's a GRUB bug
[10:15] <FourDollars> Thanks.
[10:28] <acathur> cjwatson: The late_command method didn't work. I guess probably grub installs after late_command?
[10:28] <cjwatson> no
[10:28] <cjwatson> check the syslog I guess
[15:19] <jibel> what 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 ?
[16:07] <ev> jibel: it should import the stuff from the windows account into the ubuntu one
[16:07] <ev> assuming it's things that m-a can parse - the code is fairly old and configuration formats have moved on
[16:08] <jibel> ev, I filed bug 987902
[16:08] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 987902 in ubiquity "m-a doesn't migrate Windows account" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/987902
[16:08] <jibel> if I select the user 'ubuntu' settings are imported
[16:08] <ev> what version of firefox?
[16:08] <jibel> if I select 'jibel' they are not
[16:08] <ev> oh, interesting
[16:09] <ev> so you're saying that if the usernames in windows and ubuntu match, then it works, otherwise it doesn't?
[16:10] <ev> jibel: if that's the case I'd be vaguely interested in seeing a run of the failing variant with --debug set.
[16:13] <jibel> the bug report is a failing import and with ubiquity -d
[16:14] <ev> whoops, I missed that :)
[16:14] <jibel> I don't know if the non matching names is why it fails to import. just trying to understand
[16:16] <ev> jibel: so you the user you set up on the user setup page was ubuntu
[16:16] <ev> and all the settings are imported into that user
[16:16] <ev> that's the expected behavior
[16:17] <ev> did the install actually create a jibel user?
[16:17] <jibel> I created 'ubuntu' during installation and selected 'jibel' in m-a
[16:17] <jibel> so should jibel settings been imported into ubuntu ?
[16:17] <ev> jibel: it imports all the settings for the users you check in m-a into the user you create during installation
[16:18] <jibel> ev, ok. in this case it fails
[16:18] <ev> I'm still not seeing how it's failing.
[16:18] <jibel> I'm currently doing the test again but selected ubuntu instead and it is importing the settings
[16:21] <ev> ah:
[16:21] <ev> Apr 24 16:25:14 debconf (filter): <-- GET migration-assistant/sda3/users
[16:21] <ev> debconf (developer): <-- GET migration-assistant/sda3/users
[16:21] <ev> debconf (developer): --> 1
[16:23] <ev> huh, so it unsets the users key:

[16:23] <ev> debconf (developer): --> 0 value set
[16:25] <ev> jibel: are you sure you ticked the box for that user in the m-a page?
[16:25] <jibel> ev, I'm tired but I'm 99% sure I did :)
[16:25] <ev> okay
[16:28] <ev> and this looks like a resize install. That's correct?
[16:33] <ev> jibel: 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] <ev> run the installer with --debug as normal
[16:34] <ev> really can't see how you'd end up in that state if you checked the boxes, but hoping this will shed some light on that
[16:35] <jibel> ev, it was a replace existing precise install iirc
[16:36] <jibel> ev, ok, I'll run with the patch
[16:36] <ev> thanks
