| FourDollars | cjwatson: It seems that grub-efi-amd64-signed doesn't support uuid search for vfat file system. Right? | 09:23 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | for vfat/ntfs do not support linux filesystem UUID, instead use label | 09:31 |
| FourDollars | xnox: Got it, thanks a lot. | 09:32 |
| xnox | the vfat/ntfs labels are symlinked into /dev/disk/by-uuid/ which may suggest otherwise. | 09:32 |
| xnox | no problem =) | 09:33 |
| FourDollars | xnox: Are you sure that grub-efi-amd64-signed supports label search for vfat file system? | 09:33 |
| * FourDollars is oging to try it. | 09:33 | |
| FourDollars | s/oging/going/ | 09:33 |
| xnox | xnox: i know that grub supports label search. But I have not yet tried any efi stuff. | 09:34 |
| FourDollars | xnox: I use grub-install from quantal. It puts 'search.fs_uuid 1F4E-FBA8 root hd0,msdos1' on my USB drive. | 09:36 |
| FourDollars | xnox: So I think grub also supports uuid search for vfat. | 09:37 |
| FourDollars | xnox: But grub-efi-amd64-signed might have limited functionalities. | 09:37 |

| cjwatson | FourDollars: I don't see a particular reason it shouldn't support that; it seems to have all the relevant modules. Sounds like a bug. | 10:55 |
| cjwatson | (Both label and UUID.) | 10:55 |

| bizhanMona | HI is this a right place to ask about kickseed/preseed?thx | 17:59 |
| cjwatson | Yes | 17:59 |
| cjwatson | But it's nearly dinnertime here so be quick | 18:00 |
| bizhanMona | oh okay then please go ahead have your dinner, I have just started to process of understanding what it is and will have lot us of questions in future. Thank you. | 18:01 |
| cjwatson | OK, sure. Quick mental model: preseed is a way to set a bunch of values in a database which is consulted by the installer during operation and can provide answers to what might otherwise be interactive questions. kickseed is a compatibility layer for the Red Hat Kickstart format that translates things into preseeding at the very start of the installer | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | You can mix and match them (via the Ubuntu-specific 'preseed' command extension to Kickstart) | 18:03 |
| bizhanMona | oh great, because I know about the Redhat kickstart so I can use the same kick start file, (I hope) then. | 18:04 |
| cjwatson | Well, it will provide a starting point at least; it probably won't be complete | 18:06 |
| bizhanMona | okay great to know I can always come here for help. THanks so much. | 18:06 |
| cjwatson | The idea was more to get people over the initial hurdle than to provide compatibility with every detail (though I do add details if they aren't too painful to translate) | 18:06 |
