[07:14] <eoli3n> how to block usb storage devices then ?
[12:50] <paride> Hi! Why is xenial's update_excuses this out of date? https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/xenial/
[12:51] <paride> bionic's is not, at least not the .html file (the .yaml is old): https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/bionic/
[12:52] <paride> there is at least one package in xenial-proposed since 2020-09-29 and I want to check what's holding it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-utils/0.27-0ubuntu25.2
[12:52] <paride> blackboxsw_, your upload ^^
[12:54] <RikMills> paride: looks like the pm runs for xenial are crashing at the end https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/log/xenial/2020-10-06/
[12:54] <RikMills> so I guess the new excuses is not being written
[12:57] <Laney> AAAAAAH
[12:58] <Laney> I'll have a look, thanks paride
[12:58] <paride> thanks Laney, RikMills!
[15:53] <paride> bdmurray, hi, I'm trying to submit a new test to the iso tracker:
[15:53] <paride> like this: perl qa_tracker_update.pl iso '../testcases/image/1728_PPC64EL Install using Netboot (Petitboot)'
[15:54] <paride> it says: Testcase submitted 1728 PPC64EL Install using Netboot (Petitboot)
[15:54] <paride> but then I can't find the test under 'testcases' in the iso tracker admin interface
[15:55] <paride> iirc the script was working now... am I missing something?
[16:06] <bdmurray> paride: I don't recall if I've added a test case before.
[16:07] <paride> bdmurray, so maybe it only *updates* testcases ...
[16:07] <bdmurray> paride: I may have database access, let me look at my notes
[16:08] <paride> ty!
[16:09] <bdmurray> paride: my histfile and git log make it look like it should work
[16:12] <paride> bdmurray, good thing to start with, I'll play with it a bit more
[16:14] <bdmurray> paride: I tried adding it too and got the same result as you
[16:16] <paride> :/
[16:16]  * paride gotta go, will dig tomorrow
[17:40] <bdmurray> xnox: should the replacement (during upgrades) for python-dev be python-dev-is-python2 instead of None?
[17:43] <xnox> bdmurray: both ship /usr/bin/pyconfig binaries and the like, so yeah, i guess indeed python-dev-is-python2 should be the replacement.
[17:43] <xnox> good catch.
[17:50] <bdmurray> thanks
[20:05] <realtime-neil> How do I tell Ubiquity to `d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-image-generic`? When I make that aforementioned preseed declaration for my Ubuntu Bionic desktop installer, I get kernel 5.4.0-48-generic and not the 4.15.0 I was expecting.
[20:52] <realtime-neil> If Ubiquity doesn't support preseed keys for the `base-installer` component (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation), then how do I tell it which kernel to install?
