| psivaa | cjwatson: reported bug 1098577 for wrong archive location selection for a German language installation. This issue is only during preseeded installations and not during manual installations. I could not do a preseed installation whilst running debug-ubquity but the preseed is attached to the bug. | 16:36 |

| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1098577 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Archive locations are not picked up correctly according to the timezones for preseeded raring desktop installations" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1098577 | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | psivaa: I don't understand why you couldn't do a preseeded installation while running debug-ubiquity. | 16:47 |
| cjwatson | You might not be able to do it with utah, but you can use more standard mechanisms. | 16:47 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: i tried with giving a url of the preseed and added automatic-ubiquity and debug-ubiquity in the boot options but still the locale and timezones had to be manually entered | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | psivaa: I've followed up to the bug. | 17:11 |
| cjwatson | psivaa: I think I have a patch that will work, but it's in the queue for a local VM slot to test it :-) | 17:39 |
| cjwatson | psivaa: You are still going to need to modify your preseeding at least for the UTC case. | 17:40 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: ack thanks v much for the fix. Ill do the modifications for the UTC and it will be US/Eastern that i'll be using for our servers being there | 17:41 |
| cjwatson | mirror/country=US should do either way, though it won't work until my next upload | 17:42 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: ack, will test it after that then | 17:43 |
| plars | xnox: did you ever happen to discover whether it's possible to preseed the oem-config portion of installs? | 17:50 |
| xnox | plars: no, but doing this now. If it's not possible, I'll try propose a solution on how to do this. | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | It is kind of partially possible. It has never worked very well due to a crazy set of conflicting requirements (I'm afraid I forget the exact details). | 17:51 |
| xnox | thanks for the heads up =) | 17:52 |
| plars | good to know, thanks | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | Mostly difficult-to-resolve conflicts between running ubiquity more than once (i.e. quit installer, start again) and oem-config's behaviour. | 17:52 |
| cjwatson | Though it's years since I last tried so maybe somebody fixed that without my noticing :-) | 17:52 |
| xnox | cjwatson: do you mind if I merge a small dmraid nmu from debian? | 17:54 |
| xnox | TIL ping | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | xnox: Be my guest - I'd rather not be TIL on that :-) | 17:55 |
| cjwatson | And it was only really for a rebuild | 17:55 |
| xnox | =)))) | 17:55 |
| xnox | yeah. | 17:55 |
| cjwatson | The last person who actually did a full merge has been expelled from Ubuntu, and the other person who does lots of work on it doesn't have upload rights AFAIK, so ... | 17:56 |
| xnox | oh. I did wanted to ask who that was..... as I didn't recognise the name. i guess it doesn't matter. | 17:56 |
| xnox | top google hit - is obviously phoronix article. | 17:57 |
| cjwatson | Argh, Unity is so terrible in kvm these days, makes installer work annoying | 18:10 |
| cjwatson | And when did apport start stealing focus? :-( | 18:10 |
| infinity | apport's been doing that for quite a while. | 18:24 |
| infinity | It's painful when you have it eating your machine for half an hour grinding through reports, and you're trying to work on other things. | 18:25 |
| cjwatson | psivaa: Hah, glad you used US/Eastern as an example, that's one of the awkward special cases ... | 18:39 |
