| ProfMac_ | I have a preseed script that mostly works with Trusty (14.04.5). I also have an install/syslog. Do people put these on pastebin, github, or where? | 18:27 |
|---|---|---|
| CarlFK | ProfMac_: we keep ours under version control, so it is already 'there' https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/usbstick/scripts/d-i/xenial/preseed_video.cfg | 18:40 |
| CarlFK | log files.. i use paste.ubuntu.com | 18:40 |
| ProfMac_ | Thanks CarlFK | 18:44 |
| ProfMac_ | "I think the output from diagnostic scripts should be idempotent operators." he said with no visible context. | 18:49 |
| ProfMac_ | I can't get early_command or late_command to work with my preseed file. I pushed my project to https://github.com/a-mcintosh/Trusty-preseed.git and the most relevant files are 001-createVM-14.04.5.sh, preseed/preseed.iounote-1, and syslog | 19:29 |
| CarlFK | logger -i "Aubrey 1" | 19:39 |
| CarlFK | what happens ? | 19:39 |
| ProfMac_ | No evidence in the log. When I open a terminal during the install and issue the command, the message does show up in the log. | 19:41 |
| ProfMac_ | I just did a quick "grep Aubrey syslog" | 19:42 |
| CarlFK | grep for early | 19:42 |
| CarlFK | add this to your append: DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 | 19:44 |
| ProfMac_ | is that in addition to DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer | 19:48 |
| CarlFK | hmm, never seen that before | 19:48 |
| CarlFK | not sure what that does. http://hands.com/d-i/ says 5 | 19:49 |
| ProfMac_ | ok. I read lots of stuff post Google. I am wearily skeptical of much of it. Here is a sighting in the wild: https://mraw.org/blog/2012/12/23/d-i_hacking_recipe_3/ | 19:50 |
| ProfMac_ | Oh, and I view the distinction between Ubuntu & Debian as a possible cause of disagreement with the documentation. | 19:52 |
| ProfMac_ | should there be a "late_command" equivalent to this --> /lib/partman/init.d/01early_command | 20:01 |
| CarlFK | guessing 5 and devel are the same. anyway, you should see "early" | 20:04 |
| CarlFK | I am wondering if you are really using the preseed file you think you are | 20:04 |
| ProfMac_ | It's pretty trivial to change the username or a partition name & check with the new system for a matchup. | 20:44 |
| CarlFK | well, you should see "early" in the log | 21:19 |
| cjwatson | I made DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer be an alias for DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 back in 2006. The latter only works in the installer, whereas the former works in both the installer and the installed system. | 21:42 |
| cjwatson | It's not a difference between Debian and Ubuntu. | 21:43 |
