| [00:45] * michael_e_brown hopes he can ask this question in a way that doenst sound too ignorant | |
| [00:45] <michael_e_brown> how do I set the value of languagechooser/language-name? | |
| [00:47] <michael_e_brown> it is a debconf variable and google is not my friend... | |
| [00:58] <BagOfMostlyWater> I've never used that pastebin thing, so here's a paste: | |
| [00:58] <BagOfMostlyWater> # debconf-get-selections --installer | grep languagechooser | |
| [00:58] <BagOfMostlyWater> d-i languagechooser/language-name-ascii select English | |
| [00:58] <BagOfMostlyWater> d-i languagechooser/language-name-fb select English | |
| [00:58] <BagOfMostlyWater> d-i languagechooser/locale string | |
| [00:58] <BagOfMostlyWater> d-i languagechooser/language-name select English | |
| [00:58] <BagOfMostlyWater> d-i languagechooser/language-name-latin select English | |
| [01:07] <michael_e_brown> BagOfMostlyWater, I tried to use debconf-set-selections | |
| [01:07] <michael_e_brown> and I can see in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat that it is set | |
| [01:07] <michael_e_brown> but oem-config is still pulling out 'English' from somewhere (when I set it to 'Spanish') | |
| [01:08] <michael_e_brown> ah. d-i instead of oem-config? let me see... | |
| [01:08] <michael_e_brown> nope | |
| [01:09] <michael_e_brown> I ran: | |
| [01:09] <michael_e_brown> echo "oem-config languagechooser/language-name string Spanish" | debconf-set-selections | |
| [01:09] <michael_e_brown> and that looks like it works by inspecting config.dat | |
| [04:48] <mebrown> anybody home? evand? | |
| [04:48] <mebrown> I found that if I modify /usr/lib/oem-config/oem_config/language.py | |
| [04:49] <mebrown> near the end of run() | |
| [04:49] <mebrown> where it says self.frontend.set_language(current_language) | |
| [04:49] <mebrown> and just hardcode the localized language, it works as I expect | |
| [04:50] <mebrown> looking earlier in the function, it looks like it is trying to get languagechooser/language-name from debconf | |
| [04:50] <mebrown> and looks like it sets current_language based on that | |
| [04:51] <mebrown> I cannot seem to get oem-config to take my changes when I use debconf-set-selection | |
| [04:52] <mebrown> help would be appreciated as I am --> <-- this close to getting this but am missing something | |
| [08:21] <evand> mebrown: sorry about that, I only got back in recently. | |
| [08:22] <evand> mebrown: I'm taking a look at the problem as a whole now, I'll let you know in the morning whether I've made any progress | |

| [10:44] <bAndie91> how can i load an iso image (install cd) on hdd with grub?????? | |
| [10:44] <bAndie91> its IMPORTANT | |
| [10:48] <stgraber> you could first stop flooding this channel, it doesn't help ..., then, it's weekend and most of the people usually here are away from their computer | |
| [10:49] <stgraber> you may want to check on google one of those USB flashdisk Ubuntu which is IIRC the content of an ISO image on a USB device, this should work with usb hdd too | |
| [10:49] <stgraber> (using syslinux and not grub though) | |
| [10:50] <bAndie91> szerinted nem googlézok idestova egy hete miatta? te hülye! | |
| [10:50] <bAndie91> jah! és anyád a flood! | |
| [10:50] <stgraber> ... | |
| [13:36] <evand> mebrown: `echo "d-i languagechooser/language-name string Chinese (Simplified)" | debconf-set-selections` in the oem prepare environment worked for me, though this doesn't work from the preseed file as that value gets wiped. I'll play around with it some more after some sleep/breakfast. | |
| [13:49] <evand> to clarify, if I do that in the oem prep stage, it's carried over to the next boot and oem-config starts off with Chinese (Simplified) selected and the interface translated as such. | |
| [16:27] <mebrown> evand, ok, thanks I'll try that. | |
| [16:28] <mebrown> evand, I was trying to run 'oem-config' on already-installed system and it wasnt working when I tried the same thing. I can try this really quick, though. | |
| [16:56] <mebrown> evand, that worked. | |
| [16:56] <mebrown> evand, I'm still curious why it wasnt working when I did it after booting into the OS. | |
| [16:57] <mebrown> Also, I need to figure out how to set keyboard, but can probably just inspect the code now... | |
| [16:57] <mebrown> anybody know what keyboard should be default for Chinese? | |
