| xnox | infinity, shouldn't we demote lilo-installer udeb to universe, it's annoying that it gets loaded everywhere, no? | 11:18 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | bdmurray, could you please subscribe foundations to partman-swapfile package please? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-swapfile | 11:39 |
| xnox | bdmurray, oh, i have powers too it seems. I've managed to subscribe foundations-bugs to it. | 11:40 |
| xnox | subscribing ubuntu-installer team too | 11:41 |
| xnox | cyphermox, is it an oversight that driver-injection-disk is not part of the ubiquity build? | 18:44 |
| xnox | i thought that's what is used for raid controller drivers by OEMs | 18:45 |
| cyphermox | I don't think it's an oversight, ubiquity uses a "desktop" kernel, not the split up kernel for d-i | 18:45 |
| cyphermox | depends what exactly is shipped by driver-injection-disk | 18:45 |
| cyphermox | is that the right source package name? | 18:46 |
| xnox | the question come up from an OEM that is trying to enable their raid controller (proprietary at the moment i am gueesing) yet use it with a dekstop/ubiquity installer for some reason | 18:46 |
| xnox | i believe hw-detect is the package that ships that | 18:46 |
| cyphermox | ah, yeah, makes sense | 18:46 |
| xnox | driver-injection-disk is the binary/executable name, and the udeb for it is a slightly different name | 18:47 |
| cyphermox | right, I see now | 18:48 |
| cyphermox | I don't think it's an oversight, it just never came up | 18:49 |
| cyphermox | I'd be tempted to say it probably don't hook up so great to the typical ubiquity UX | 18:49 |
| cyphermox | otherwise I'd run it just after the welcome/prepare screen, same place as where the SB stuff is hooked up, it might take a bit to hook it up cleanly | 18:51 |
| xnox | cyphermox, i think we simply want to install / activate the .deb live and for target. And do nothing for the .udeb .ude | 19:09 |
| xnox | so slightly different code path. | 19:09 |
| xnox | and obviously said OEM wants it for xenial.... | 19:09 |
| xnox | is there any other way to inject .deb during install & for target, with ubiquity images? | 19:09 |
| xnox | driver injection disk sounds like the cleanest way forward to me, but i'm not sure if there is anything else on the desktop iso. | 19:10 |
| xnox | does ubuntu-drivers do anything special in ubiquity? | 19:10 |
| cyphermox | well, if the driver packages are in the archive they could get picked up by ubuntu-drivers via modaliases, but I guess in this case they're not in the archive | 19:10 |
| cyphermox | easiest might be to use an early command? | 19:11 |
| xnox | which is fidally | 19:16 |
| xnox | *fiddly | 19:16 |
| cyphermox | not really | 19:27 |
