[08:08] infinity: Could you commit your installation-guide changes to lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/installation-guide/ubuntu, please? [08:09] (And thanks) [11:43] cjwatson: Ahh, I didn't notice we had a branch for it. I briefly considered doing a full merge, but it was late. [20:13] is there something like partman but for networking? [20:13] netcfg [20:13] it doesn't seem to do much though [20:13] I mean, that's the d-i component responsible for networking [20:13] It does a fair bit in d-i [20:14] here's what I'm trying to do: [20:14] during install, configure static networking between eth0/eth1 -> bond0 -> br0 [20:14] which I have, and it works. Except 13.04 it's not eth0/eth1 anymore [20:14] Can be if you disable biosdevname, or you could adapt to the new world order [20:14] so I need it to be more dynamic [20:15] I'm hoping to adapt to the new world order :) [20:15] netcfg isn't capable enough for that, though, no. [20:15] So you could try to add bonding support to it, which would be worthwhile [20:15] Or hack it up with some kind of early script [20:16] with partman I have the ability to be like "take 2 of the following and make a raid+lvm: sda sdb vda vdb" and it Just Works [20:16] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611250 [20:16] Debian bug 611250 in netcfg "please support network bonding" [Wishlist,Open] [20:17] There's nothing packaged that does what you want, although it should be possible to do it in a late_command script [20:17] netcfg is only for during installation though, right? or does it also lay down a static config for you in the installed system? [20:17] It does both [20:17] ahh ok [20:17] (At least in modes where it isn't basically delegating to NM for the latter) [20:18] I don't *think* I'm using NM [20:18] I just have /etc/network/interfaces with what I need [20:19] https://gist.github.com/kitchen/6151779 [20:19] anywho, I'll make it 'dynamic' in my late_command script for now [20:20] is there a preferred method of enumerating the network devices on the machine other than doing 'ip a | ' ? [20:22] aha 'ip link show' [20:22] ok, I'll poke around a bit at it. thanks for your help :) [20:22] You could walk /sys/class/net/ [20:23] Assuming you don't mind being Linux-specific [20:23] as opposed to? :) [20:23] this is for ubuntu installation [20:23] If you were submitting a netcfg patch to Debian then it supports some other kernels too [20:24] ahh ok, gotcha [20:24] Though no idea if they have bonding [20:24] nah, I think for now I'm gonna just hack it into my late_command script [20:24] * cjwatson nods [20:25] hacking on the installer itself isn't something I'm quite ready to dive into just yet
