[16:24] <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?
[16:26] <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.
[16:27] <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)
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <cjwatson> directhex: (add those after -boot-info-table)
[16:31] <cjwatson> oh, and with xorriso you also want '-isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin' near the start
[16:32] <cjwatson> and '-as mkisofs -r -checksum_algorithm_iso md5,sha1'
[16:32] <cjwatson> (sorry, it's distributed through a few different bits of code)
[16:48] <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)
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <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
[16:52] <directhex> cjwatson, anyway, many thanks for getting back to me, it's greatly appreciated
[16:53] <cjwatson> no problem, sorry it was late, I was on leave
[16:54] <directhex> i kinda expected xmas to mess with my deadlines ;)
[16:56] <directhex> well ovmf likes it... guess the trip to the car is unavoidable now
[17:09] <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"
[17:24] <directhex> grr, i wish the t530 weren't so much more picky than ovmf
[17:36] <cjwatson> directhex: it's in user-setup - preseed user-setup/encrypt-home to false
[17:37] <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
[20:47] <gotwig> jo, a guy has problems with installing elementary OS, what is based on 12.04.1 . May he come here to get help?
[20:48] <gotwig> it does use ubiquity..
[20:52] <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
[20:54] <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..
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <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
[20:58] <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..
[20:59] <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*
[21:00] <elementary-site2> WHat do u mean?
[21:00] <gotwig> a private chat.. I sent you a PM
[21:11] <gotwig> cjwatson, sry
