| blut | Hello installer developers | 14:11 |
|---|---|---|
| blut | The official documentation ( https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/s390x/apbs02.html ) references an example file ( https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt ) in which it is written, that a) I can specify language, country, and locale separately; b) I can specify the keyboard layout. | 14:12 |
| blut | These two functions do not work. The installer still asks me. Is there a known fix? | 14:13 |
| blut | The 'd-i mirror/http/mirror select CC.archive.ubuntu.com' described in the aforementioned file is also ineffective? | 14:17 |
| blut | And who is to blame for the ubuntu bug tracker? why does it require an account for searches? | 14:17 |
| cjwatson | The installation guide does also mention that some parameters must be passed on the command line, because the preseed file is only processed a little later. | 14:21 |
| cjwatson | The Ubuntu bug tracker does not require an account for searches, unless of course you're trying to search a private project or similar. | 14:22 |
| blut | cjwatson: I went to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu and searched for preseed and on hitting search I was asked to sign it | 14:33 |
| blut | *in | 14:33 |
| blut | cjwatson: What does that mean, passed on the command line? As a separate command? I can do that. Or does that mean via the kernel parameters? | 14:34 |
| cjwatson | blut: Hm, that must be an edge-case bug. I suspect that one of the search results is assigned to a private team or something. A bug report on https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad would be welcome. | 14:36 |
| cjwatson | blut: e.g. instead of "d-i debian/installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8", use debian-installer/locale=en_US.UTF-8 on the kernel command line | 14:37 |
| cjwatson | kernel parameters, yes | 14:37 |
| blut | hmm... no, it's still asking me | 14:42 |
| blut | Anyways... I think I will just start my weekend now and try some stuff on monday | 14:44 |
| cjwatson | xnox: ^- perhaps you could support this s390x user | 14:44 |
| xnox | sigh | 17:36 |
| xnox | cjwatson, if that person would still be online =) | 17:36 |
| xnox | maybe i should blog about things, and or start re-writting the guide properly. | 17:36 |
