[14:11] Hello installer developers [14:12] 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] These two functions do not work. The installer still asks me. Is there a known fix? [14:17] The 'd-i mirror/http/mirror select CC.archive.ubuntu.com' described in the aforementioned file is also ineffective? [14:17] And who is to blame for the ubuntu bug tracker? why does it require an account for searches? [14:21] 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] 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] 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] *in [14:34] 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] 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] 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] kernel parameters, yes [14:42] hmm... no, it's still asking me [14:44] Anyways... I think I will just start my weekend now and try some stuff on monday [14:44] xnox: ^- perhaps you could support this s390x user [17:36] sigh [17:36] cjwatson, if that person would still be online =) [17:36] maybe i should blog about things, and or start re-writting the guide properly.
