[16:36] 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] 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 [16:47] psivaa: I don't understand why you couldn't do a preseeded installation while running debug-ubiquity. [16:47] You might not be able to do it with utah, but you can use more standard mechanisms. [16:58] 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 [17:11] psivaa: I've followed up to the bug. [17:39] psivaa: I think I have a patch that will work, but it's in the queue for a local VM slot to test it :-) [17:40] psivaa: You are still going to need to modify your preseeding at least for the UTC case. [17:41] 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 [17:42] mirror/country=US should do either way, though it won't work until my next upload [17:43] cjwatson: ack, will test it after that then [17:50] xnox: did you ever happen to discover whether it's possible to preseed the oem-config portion of installs? [17:51] plars: no, but doing this now. If it's not possible, I'll try propose a solution on how to do this. [17:51] 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). [17:52] thanks for the heads up =) [17:52] good to know, thanks [17:52] Mostly difficult-to-resolve conflicts between running ubiquity more than once (i.e. quit installer, start again) and oem-config's behaviour. [17:52] Though it's years since I last tried so maybe somebody fixed that without my noticing :-) [17:54] cjwatson: do you mind if I merge a small dmraid nmu from debian? [17:54] TIL ping [17:55] xnox: Be my guest - I'd rather not be TIL on that :-) [17:55] And it was only really for a rebuild [17:55] =)))) [17:55] yeah. [17:56] 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] oh. I did wanted to ask who that was..... as I didn't recognise the name. i guess it doesn't matter. [17:57] top google hit - is obviously phoronix article. [18:10] Argh, Unity is so terrible in kvm these days, makes installer work annoying [18:10] And when did apport start stealing focus? :-( [18:24] apport's been doing that for quite a while. [18:25] 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. [18:39] psivaa: Hah, glad you used US/Eastern as an example, that's one of the awkward special cases ...
