| mmcc | yes, I've seen his plugin-viewer-gtk.py, and that works fine for me. I wanted to have the full picture too, though. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mmcc | and ack on py3. I've noticed that already | 00:00 |
| xnox | a VM is the only way to get the full picture =) | 00:00 |
| xnox | if you have a spare laptop/desktop you can do burn the amd64+mac.iso using disk utility on to a USB stick and boot that. | 00:01 |
| xnox | (bare metal is way waster / snappier) | 00:01 |
| xnox | also if you take screenshots of downloading amd64+mac.iso and burning/restoring it on-to the usb stick using the "disk utility" the website maintainance people will be glad to take those screenshots and publish on the website =) | 00:02 |
| mmcc | heh, I'll keep that in mind. :) | 00:02 |
| xnox | (currently installing ubuntu from mac os x documentation looks dated from like Tiger times) | 00:02 |
| mmcc | unfortunately I don't really have a spare mac to try that with | 00:02 |
| xnox | fair enough =) | 00:03 |
| mmcc | well, maybe I should do the screenshots anyway, if they're painfully out of date | 00:03 |
| mmcc | I'm even one release behind the current mac os myself. I wonder if disk utility changed in 10.8... | 00:03 |
| mmcc | ok, so to be sure I have this right - I could create a new .deb, then boot the live cd, get and install that deb, and just run "ubiquity"? (mvo's notes had 'sudo ubiquity', do I need to run with privs?) | 00:09 |
| mmcc | I'm a little fuzzy on the other approach, where I'm just modifying /usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/* - is that also assuming the live CD is running, and I'm just overwriting those files from that session? | 00:10 |
| xnox | both are the same - in first case you use dpkg to install / unpack a deb (which is really just a compressed archive of files + metadata) into place vs doing it by "hand" | 00:12 |
| xnox | if you run ubiquity, it will ask you for priviliges. or just execute the "install ubuntu" launcher from the live desktop. | 00:12 |
| mmcc | yeah, that makes sense | 00:13 |
| xnox | but.... the livecd user has no password - so sudo or no sudo it can gain privileges pretty much without asking =) | 00:13 |
| mmcc | curious - I noticed the desktop entry for the launcher has 'ubiquity --desktop %k gtk_ui', but I don't see the --desktop arg in the source I'm looking at. is that something new? | 00:15 |
| mmcc | ie, since this branch... | 00:15 |
| xnox | there are a few levels of wrappers =) | 00:15 |
| mmcc | ah, ok | 00:15 |
| xnox | apart from gtk frontend there is kde (qt) frontend as well as a text mode debconf (curses) mode. | 00:16 |
| xnox | but you should only care about the gtk one. | 00:16 |
| xnox | kde (qt) one is maintained by kubuntu community | 00:16 |
| xnox | and debconf/curses is only for like server stuff (landscape) and other not directly client configs | 00:17 |
| xnox | so out of scope as well for the U1 plugin. | 00:17 |
| mmcc | ah, I see the ubiquity-wrapper script now. | 00:18 |
| mmcc | ok, I think I know how to move forward now - thanks so much for your help! I'll probably hang out in here while I'm working on this, but I should usually be quieter :) | 00:20 |

| Peanut | Hi folks. I'm trying to install some boxes on Precise, but I seem to have made a mistake in my Preseed, and it complains "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu". And there's a button "Continue", but if I press it, it just goes to the same error message again. I don't get the option to 'Go Back' or 'Abort installation' at all. | 11:03 |
