v99https://askubuntu.com/questions/853632/ubuntu-16-04-apt-get-update-fails-with-local-repository14:39
v99in the post section14:39
v99but no way14:39
CarlFKv99: if you need to add a repo: https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/usb_late/scripts/d-i/stretch/preseed.cfg#L293-L29415:03
CarlFKif the package is in the standard repo https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/usb_late/scripts/d-i/stretch/preseed.cfg#L31415:03
v99but i need to add the deb to the usb15:19
v99i havent internet access15:19
CarlFKoh, no idea15:28
v99dont worry i will install with dpkg15:28
v99all the dependencies15:29
CarlFKlook into gdebi15:30
CarlFKUsage: gdebi [options] filename15:30
CarlFKit will install deps15:31
v99i use ubuntu server and i havent gdebi15:31
CarlFKinstall it ;)15:32
cjwatsonWith 16.04 you don't need gdebi - "apt install /path/to/local.deb"15:39
cjwatsonFWIW15:39
CarlFKoh neat15:40
v99really?15:41
xnoxv99, also "apt build-dep ./" works from unpacked source package, and one does not need deb-src lines for it to work.15:42
cjwatsonDon't drown people in detail they don't need :)15:43
xnox;-)15:43
v99uoooooo cjwatson really works15:44
v99thanks everyones15:44
v99i will spend one week to do this15:44
v99im a newbie15:44
CarlFKhttps://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/armhf/apbs02.html#preseed-bootparms15:58
CarlFKthat doesn't say what happens if you pass a param that is also in the preseed file15:58
CarlFKanyone know, and is there somewhere I can log an issue about that?15:59
CarlFKit seems the file overrides boot, but I haven't really done a good test16:03
CarlFKand really I would love to have boot override file, so if someone can make a syntax like foo/bar?=value  "don't ask, use my value!!!"16:04
cjwatsonHaving boot parameters override parameters read from a preseed file isn't possible, because boot parameters have to be read first (they're processed considerably earlier).16:10
cjwatsonProbably best to use preseed/early_command to do conditional things.16:11
cjwatsonIf you wanted to file a bug about making that more convenient, the correct place would be the "preseed" package in Debian.16:11
CarlFKcjwatson: I was first thinking the docs should say "file overrides boot"16:12
cjwatson(Though I'm not sure how; it would need to be an extension to the preseed file syntax to not set a value if it's already set.)16:12
CarlFKI am using my dhcp server conf files to manage per-host settings, like "this box needs to install to sdb"16:13
cjwatsonBugs in the manual would be on the "installation-guide" package in Debian.16:14
CarlFKinstallation-guide - thanks16:14
cjwatsonThough you should check whether the most recent Debian version of the manual has the same issue, first.16:15
CarlFKright now I  remove the line from preseed file, make it a default in dhcp conf, and then over ride for the odd box16:15
CarlFKcjwatson: is there a web ui for reporting bugs?  or how do I use reportbug from my ubuntu box?18:37
CarlFKor really, how do I report a bug :p18:37
CarlFKI got to here and ... am lost: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=installation-guide18:38
cjwatsonCarlFK: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting20:54
cjwatsonthere is no web UI, use email20:55
