cyphermoxnebuchadnezzar: if you're preseeding, have you considered booting from the network? it may be easier to get systems to have all the exact options you want them to have (and further reduces user interaction a bit, or you can also set up custom settings there a bit more easily)13:14
cyphermoxof course netboot isn't necessarily practical in all situations13:14
nebuchadnezzarcyphermox: unfortunately, it's not practical for our users, they boot the ISO, either from CDROM or USB key, chosse a boot entry, then everything is automated13:26
cyphermoxok13:26
nebuchadnezzarthat was great until now, some of them want to choose something in the automated process, without doing a full manual installation13:26
cyphermoxwell, let me know if there's anything interesting you come up with that could be integrated in the official ISOs.13:27
nebuchadnezzarit looks like hooking into F6 is complicated, far too much for just adding a flag13:28
flexiondotorgcyphermox, Hi.13:51
flexiondotorgcyphermox, Saw you were looking at the oem-config issue.13:52
flexiondotorgcyphermox, See my comment - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1436937/comments/413:52
flexiondotorgcyphermox, oem-config started misbehaving after the dvd-eject was partly fixed. Prior to that fix, oem-config worked for me on 26th.13:53
cyphermoxwell, I'm using the same image to debug both13:58
cyphermoxbut I'm not using the MATE image, I'm using the straight ubuntu one13:58
cyphermox(both softwares are also not related)13:59
cyphermoxin other words, I was using the exact same image as jibel14:00
cyphermoxit wasn't working *great*, but the oem user did get removed14:00
cyphermox(or so it seemed)14:01
flexiondotorgcyphermox, There is an OEM who will soon be shipping Ubuntu MATE pre-installed. So I am prepared to help fix this.14:11
flexiondotorgcyphermox, What can I do to assist?14:11
cyphermoxwell, you can re-run the procedure and watch whether it shows anything on the VTs as oem-config-prepare was run, before rebooting; also after rebooting when it normally does the removals and asks for the new user details before rebooting again14:14
flexiondotorgSo, use the current daily?14:15
cyphermoxyes14:17
cyphermoxugh, if this isn't going to start going better I'll add a 30 second timeout to press enter otherwise reboot automatically :)14:18
flexiondotorgcyphermox, Please try OEM config with Ubuntu MATE. You'll see the way it fails is different to Ubuntu. But this was working perfectly a couple of days ago.17:25
cyphermoxok17:25
flexiondotorgcyphermox, I'm going to do what I can to test this over the weekend and gather some data. But please do test Ubuntu MATE. "Bad stuff" happens.17:25
cyphermoxsure17:31
cyphermoxI'll be getting to it shortly, I either will get the fix for the Enter key shortly or give up for now and look at MATE before I go insane17:32
flexiondotorgcyphermox, Thanks.17:53
cyphermox*sigh* if only more systems still shipped with serial ports19:02
