| xnox | mpt, good morning! =) | 11:18 |
|---|---|---|
| mpt | XNOX | 11:18 |
| xnox | mpt, have you seen plans to enforce kernel module signature verification, and subsequent option to disable doing that in the ubiquity installer? =) | 11:19 |
| mpt | xnox, no, I have not seen it and don’t know what it is | 11:20 |
| xnox | mpt, i shall take some screenshots for you to cringe at =) | 11:21 |
| mpt | ok :-) | 11:54 |
| xnox | mpt, https://goo.gl/photos/tBPoEqMtZwxEXn3K9 is approximate screenshot | 12:19 |
| xnox | the password fields follow similar to the others and flick through matching/non-matching/strong on the side. | 12:20 |
| xnox | the learn-more button opens a modal dialog with paragraphs of gibberish. | 12:20 |
| xnox | gibberish is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/ubiquity/disable-verification/+merge/278668 scroll down to debian/ubiquity.templates file with loads of new gibberish. | 12:20 |
| xnox | i'll try to get proper screenshots shortly. | 12:20 |
| mpt | crikey | 12:26 |
| stevenm_ | anyone here familiar with ubiquity's file... ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py ? | 13:04 |
| stevenm_ | specifically the very bottom (ok_handler_... i'm trying to determine what extractly is done differently about a ubuntu 14.04 install when choosing the non-free option | 13:05 |
| xnox | yes we are, what about it? | 13:05 |
| stevenm_ | that bit just seems to set the variable the installer uses - i'd like to see what it actually does | 13:05 |
| xnox | it sets debian-installer / debconf values that are used by other d-i components during installation. | 13:06 |
| stevenm_ | where I can see that? | 13:06 |
| xnox | stevenm_, do grep for 'nonfree' to see things it affects. | 13:07 |
| xnox | scripts/plugininstall.py | 13:07 |
| stevenm_ | yeah I have already, it isn't clear | 13:07 |
| xnox | scripts/simple-plugins | 13:07 |
| stevenm_ | ok i'll look around there - thanks | 13:08 |
| xnox | stevenm_, it runs ubuntu-drivers to install proprietary things (e.g. nvidia graphics drivers) | 13:09 |
| xnox | and i think it used to install ubuntu-restricted-extras package, but let me check that. | 13:10 |
| stevenm_ | essentially if someone hasn't chosen that option... i'm wondering what things someone could enter in to a terminal directly after installing - that would do the same thing | 13:10 |
| xnox | sorry ubuntu-restricted-addons | 13:10 |
| xnox | carefully hidden in restricted_package_name variable as kubuntu has a different addons package. | 13:10 |
| stevenm_ | yeah that package i know about -but i think it does other things too | 13:10 |
| xnox | open unity, search for additional drivers - install optional drivers | 13:11 |
| xnox | open software centre - search for "ubuntu-restricted-addons" install it | 13:11 |
| stevenm_ | not terminal though | 13:11 |
| xnox | open source source - enable restricted/universe/multiverse, if disabled. | 13:11 |
| stevenm_ | and jockey has gone hasn't it? | 13:11 |
| xnox | that's it. | 13:12 |
| xnox | not source source - but "software sources" | 13:12 |
| stevenm_ | i'm still going to go about seeing it for myself | 13:12 |
| stevenm_ | but thanks | 13:12 |
| xnox | one can do same from terminal. | 13:12 |
| xnox | no jockeys is long dead, $ ubuntu-drivers is the brave new world. | 13:12 |
| xnox | $ ubuntu-drivers list | 13:12 |
| stevenm_ | so your saying if someone installed regular ubuntu 14.04 without the tickbox.... a quick 'apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-addons ubuntu-drivers' would do everything? | 13:13 |
| xnox | for me it offers to only install intel-microcode, and that's it. | 13:13 |
| stevenm_ | oh after first enabling multiverse/universe/restricted | 13:13 |
| xnox | and well, modify software sources to include componetsn, install addons package with like apt-get. | 13:13 |
| xnox | no | 13:13 |
| xnox | yes, enable componets. | 13:14 |
| xnox | ubuntu-drivers is always installed, one would need to run it and choose to install things it offers to install, if one deems that to be a good fit. | 13:14 |
| stevenm_ | looks like the main operation is in the 'run' function | 13:14 |
| xnox | e.g. $ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall | 13:14 |
| xnox | and yeah, that's about it. | 13:14 |
| stevenm_ | does uniquity do all 3? universe, multiverse & resritced? or just 1 or 2 of them? | 13:16 |
| stevenm_ | it sounds like this would do everything... | 13:17 |
| stevenm_ | add-apt-repository universe; add-apt-repository restricted; add-apt-repository multiverse; apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-addons; ubuntu-drivers autoinstall | 13:17 |
| stevenm_ | (as root) | 13:17 |
| xnox | we enable main and universe by default, and we enable all 4 for "3rd party blah blah" checkbox. | 13:17 |
| stevenm_ | ah ok so... | 13:17 |
| stevenm_ | add-apt-repository restricted; add-apt-repository multiverse; apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-addons; ubuntu-drivers autoinstall | 13:17 |
| xnox | yes, thats all. | 13:17 |
| * xnox guesses we have restricted by default, but one OEM preseed to have e.g. main only | 13:18 | |
| xnox | stevenm_, for automation that would do it, yes. | 13:18 |
| stevenm_ | i'd still feel happier seeing it in the code :P thanks though | 13:18 |
| xnox | add-apt-repository should be smart about re-enabling already enabled restricted/universe, so wouldn't hurt to run that too. | 13:18 |
| xnox | stevenm_, hehe. well it's all doing funny things via debconf database, to pass things from ubiquity, to debian-installer (which ubiquity runs in portions, wrapped in file descriptors) | 13:19 |
| xnox | open a bug/request to get it traced if you really want to. it's "obvious" to ubiquity/d-i developers.... not so much for just any ordinary programmer. | 13:20 |
| === stevenm_ is now known as stevenm | ||
| cyphermox | xnox: I updated the branch to account for d-i component merges I've been doing | 18:47 |
| cyphermox | still need to test build it now again to make sure there aren't other missing files like this, but I'm confident it should work | 18:47 |
