[15:19] <devicenull> so how do I preseed 14.10?  it seems that the installer no longer accepts the usual command line arguments for locale and language
[15:21] <cjwatson> there should be no changes there
[15:22] <devicenull> well... I copied my packer template for 14.04 and switched the media over to 14.10, and now it prompts for locale, and doesn't even seem to use the preseed I specified
[15:22] <devicenull> hmm
[15:24] <cjwatson> you didn't try to put locale in the preseed *file* did you?
[15:24] <devicenull> no
[15:25] <devicenull> I had
[15:25] <devicenull> locale=en_US.UTF-8 console-setup/layoutcode=us keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us netcfg/get_hostname=install url=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/ubuntu.txt
[15:30] <devicenull> ahh
[15:30] <devicenull> the default command line has '-- quiet' at the end
[15:31] <devicenull> which means you need to add any args before that or they dont get processed
[15:34] <cjwatson> oh I blame systemd
[15:35] <cjwatson> the kernel had to change its command-line parsing semantics because of that
[15:35] <cjwatson> used to be you could put things either side
[15:36] <devicenull> I will gladly also blame systemd :)
