| kentb | if I wanted to customize the oem-config language screen so that the back button is grayed out, would something need to be changed beyond ubi-language.py? | 16:24 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | kentb: possibly the gtk-frontend needs to learn that some steps can't go back / forward, as it controlls back/forward behaviour with hints from the page plugin. | 16:26 |
| xnox | gtk_ui.py that is. | 16:26 |
| kentb | xnox ok. | 16:26 |
| xnox | kentb: similar~ish problem is that frontend controller auto-activates continue button, even though it might do nothing yet (e.g. user setup page or full-disk-encryption key page where continue is activated) | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | directhex: I believe the relevant ones are '-eltorito-alt-boot -e boot/grub/efi.img -no-emul-boot -isohybrid-gpt-basdat -isohybrid-apm-hfsplus' with a current version of xorriso | 16:29 |
| cjwatson | directhex: (add those after -boot-info-table) | 16:30 |
| cjwatson | oh, and with xorriso you also want '-isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin' near the start | 16:31 |
| cjwatson | and '-as mkisofs -r -checksum_algorithm_iso md5,sha1' | 16:32 |
| cjwatson | (sorry, it's distributed through a few different bits of code) | 16:32 |
| directhex | cjwatson, that's great, thanks, let me check what i'm using | 16:48 |
| directhex | (which is what sledge told me he was using) | 16:48 |
| cjwatson | current xorriso is important - don't use genisoimage or anything like that | 16:50 |
| directhex | yeah, that's one thing i caught from sledge | 16:50 |
| directhex | looks like my -isohybrid-mbr was wrong, and i didn't have -isohybrid-gpt-basdat -isohybrid-apm-hfsplus | 16:51 |
| directhex | i guess i'll need to go get the t530 out of the car, and grab the box of blank cds | 16:51 |
| directhex | bums, no burner in this laptop. and the dock. grr | 16:51 |
| directhex | cjwatson, anyway, many thanks for getting back to me, it's greatly appreciated | 16:52 |
| cjwatson | no problem, sorry it was late, I was on leave | 16:53 |
| directhex | i kinda expected xmas to mess with my deadlines ;) | 16:54 |
| directhex | well ovmf likes it... guess the trip to the car is unavoidable now | 16:56 |
| directhex | cjwatson, while you're here, which udeb offers to do home directory encryption (as opposed to full-disk via luks)? i'd like to strip that out... or at least preseed it to say "no" | 17:09 |
| directhex | grr, i wish the t530 weren't so much more picky than ovmf | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | directhex: it's in user-setup - preseed user-setup/encrypt-home to false | 17:36 |
| cjwatson | well, the udeb is user-setup-udeb | 17:37 |
| directhex | okay, cheers. i'll give this another shot when i get home, i didn't bring a usb stick and i'm gonna get through the stack of optical media at this rate | 17:37 |
| gotwig | jo, a guy has problems with installing elementary OS, what is based on 12.04.1 . May he come here to get help? | 20:47 |
| gotwig | it does use ubiquity.. | 20:48 |
| gotwig | a dude can't see his harddrives, when he goes to the advanced partitions editor at ubiquity | 20:52 |
| gotwig | what should he do? using 12.04.1 LTS | 20:52 |
| cjwatson | unfortunately this is probably a parted bug and there may not be any immediate recourse for the user | 20:54 |
| cjwatson | a bug report would need /var/log/partman after the failed installation attempt (before rebooting) and if possible a dd dump of the first 64KiB or so of each disk | 20:54 |
| elementary-site2 | Gey | 20:54 |
| elementary-site2 | HEy | 20:54 |
| elementary-site2 | I got a program with the installer.. | 20:54 |
| cjwatson | (it's my evening and I need to help with childcare and such so I'm afraid I can't really help interactively) | 20:55 |
| gotwig | cjwatson, there he is ;) | 20:55 |
| gotwig | elementary-site2, "a bug report would need /var/log/partman after the failed installation attempt (before rebooting) and if possible a dd dump of the first 64KiB or so of each disk" | 20:55 |
| cjwatson | yeah, but I have to go | 20:55 |
| elementary-site2 | Yeah.. | 20:55 |
| cjwatson | sorry | 20:55 |
| cjwatson | 20:54 <cjwatson> unfortunately this is probably a parted bug and there may not be any immediate recourse for the user | 20:55 |
| gotwig | cjwatson, its ok. Thx. Have a nice day, and happy X-Mas :D | 20:55 |
| elementary-site2 | ANd what I should do now? | 20:56 |
| elementary-site2 | ANd what should I do now* | 20:56 |
| cjwatson | /var/log/syslog wouldn't hurt either | 20:56 |
| gotwig | elementary-site2, visit paste.ubuntu.com , put the content of /var/log/partman in there, paste that thing, give us the link | 20:57 |
| elementary-site2 | Yeah but where do I need to past /var/log/syslog in? | 20:57 |
| cjwatson | nothing that can be done without those logs; and even with them there may not be a workaround short of us tracking down the bug and releasing an update | 20:57 |
| gotwig | cjwatson, why a dd dump :X? | 20:57 |
| gotwig | elementary-site2, paste.ubuntu.com | 20:57 |
| gotwig | elementary-site2, www.paste.ubuntu.com | 20:57 |
| cjwatson | because it's often useful in tracking down parted bugs | 20:58 |
| cjwatson | not www. | 20:58 |
| elementary-site2 | noo my friend | 20:58 |
| elementary-site2 | WHere DO i need to past /var/log/syslog in? | 20:58 |
| elementary-site2 | where | 20:58 |
| gotwig | ... | 20:58 |
| elementary-site2 | ....?? | 20:58 |
| elementary-site2 | DO u really think I m that stupid? | 20:58 |
| elementary-site2 | JUST nothing makes sense.. | 20:58 |
| gotwig | elementary-site2, first open the file in texteditor, than copy all the content, go to http://paste.ubuntu.com , past the content there, enter your name and than press "PASTE!" | 20:59 |
| gotwig | elementary-site2, calm down, I said | 20:59 |
| cjwatson | please can you sort out the details of how to paste stuff on a different channel? | 20:59 |
| gotwig | cjwatson, :> | 20:59 |
| elementary-site2 | Which file to I need to open with the texteditor? | 20:59 |
| gotwig | elementary-site2, come on, we do that private.. | 20:59 |
| elementary-site2 | do* | 20:59 |
| elementary-site2 | WHat do u mean? | 21:00 |
| gotwig | a private chat.. I sent you a PM | 21:00 |
| gotwig | cjwatson, sry | 21:11 |
