[14:11] <blut> Hello installer developers
[14:12] <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.
[14:13] <blut> These two functions do not work. The installer still asks me. Is there a known fix?
[14:17] <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?
[14:21] <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.
[14:22] <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.
[14:33] <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
[14:34] <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?
[14:36] <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.
[14:37] <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
[14:42] <blut> hmm... no, it's still asking me
[14:44] <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
[17:36] <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.
