[11:44] <Furao> is there anyway to ask d-i to no fill the console with progress bar and stuff? I want to see in the console the output of each commands
[12:00] <cjwatson> DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
[12:01] <cjwatson> Or you could just switch to tty4
[12:03] <Furao> I don't have a frame buffer, only a serial console
[12:03] <Furao> thanks I'll try
[12:04] <cjwatson> I'd expect it to use the text frontend on sercon anyway
[12:04] <cjwatson> maybe you don't mean the full-screen progress bar?
[12:05] <cjwatson> actually thinking about it output may well be directed to the logs regardless
[12:05] <cjwatson> you might be better off using remote syslog and watching the log on your remote server
[12:09] <Furao> I'm still lucid, and remote syslog never worked
[12:09] <Furao> but I'm trying and I think I'll be able to get what I need
[12:09] <Furao> I just need to have the MAC address of the eth0 at the end of the installation
[12:28] <Furao> and no luck like you said, it all ends in the logs
[12:28] <Furao> there should be a log frontend :)
[12:49] <Furao> f*ck stdout: /bin/ip link > /dev/console
[12:49] <Furao> that work :)
[15:54] <cjwatson> xnox: is bug 1009973 still required in the quantal release notes, or was that just for precise?
[15:54] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1009973 in mdadm "SRU upstream bugfix micro point release 3.2.5" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1009973
[15:56] <xnox> cjwatson: no, that was just precise.
[15:56] <cjwatson> xnox: OK, adjusting metadata accordingly
[15:57] <xnox> cjwatson: imho it's done and dusted, as it did make it into 12.04.1
[15:58] <xnox> not sure what the release notes task was for at all tbh.
[15:58] <cjwatson> Dunno.  Feel free to clean up :)
