| antarus_ | cjwatson: qq for you or anyone else | 17:12 |
|---|---|---|
| antarus_ | preseeds for d-i for precise | 17:12 |
| antarus_ | we are preseeding apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false | 17:12 |
| antarus_ | but apt-setup's 50mirror is still calling choose-mirror | 17:12 |
| antarus_ | I'm curious if the type matters...should it be string false and not boolean false? | 17:13 |
| antarus_ | in 50mirror, it definitely calls db_get apt-setup/use_mirror and checks for $RET = false | 17:13 |
| antarus_ | it looks like in https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt it is 'boolean false' there as well :/ | 17:14 |
| antarus_ | but for some reason choose-mirror is not being skipped for us | 17:14 |

| cjwatson | Type doesn't matter | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | Get an installer syslog with DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer as a boot parameter and I can have a look at that | 17:17 |
| antarus | cjwatson: yeah it looks similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/choose-mirror/+bug/600789 | 17:18 |
| ubot2` | Ubuntu bug 600789 in choose-mirror (Ubuntu) ""d-i mirror/*" does not work on presseding" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 17:18 |
| antarus | we don't actually preseed the mirror | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | I'd rather look at a syslog independently | 17:18 |
| * antarus nods | 17:19 | |
| cjwatson | I don't think that bug is related and it contains some misinformation by way of guesses | 17:19 |
| antarus | will DEBCONF_DEBUG tell me what RET contains in 50mirror? :) | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | Yes | 17:19 |
| antarus | ah | 17:19 |
| antarus | well that I will go that route next ;) | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | It's a trace of all debconf activity | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | Can take practice to read though, much like (say) strace - feel free to just hand me the log | 17:20 |
| antarus | does it log all the stuff to syslog? | 17:20 |
| antarus | or to the console? | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | syslog | 17:20 |
| antarus | excellent | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | note that it will include passwords, since it's analogous to strace and doesn't sanitise things | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | so don't use anything sensitive in the preseed file | 17:21 |
| antarus | I'll use my best judgement ;) | 17:21 |

| * antarus sighs at d-i | 18:51 | |
| antarus | cjwatson: hrm, my pxe tool is apaprently downcasing the DEBCONF_DEBUG line to debconf_debug=developer, do you know if that will break that feature? | 20:27 |
| antarus | aha, fixed it | 20:47 |
| antarus | I hate d-i so much | 21:07 |
| antarus | Is it possible to force d-i to skip steps? | 21:36 |
| antarus | hrm | 21:52 |
