[11:10] <Silicium> Apr 21 12:13:36 chfn[7084]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so
[11:10] <Silicium> i got this failure in the syslog
[11:10] <Silicium> while preseed a package
[11:40] <cjwatson> Silicium: that's not your problem.
[11:41] <cjwatson> Silicium: based on #ubuntu-devel, you are apparently starting out from a beta image. I'm afraid you can't do that; the beta image has been broken by necessary changes in the archive since then. Use RC images instead.
[11:50] <Silicium> cjwatson: i use the RC images
[11:50] <Silicium> i have rebuiled today with the actual images
[11:51] <Silicium> cjwatson: if you want i can gice you the syslog file
[11:58] <cjwatson> please put it on a pastebin
[11:58] <cjwatson> the smbpass error above is purely cosmetic.
[12:02] <xivulon> is it possible to have the exact .disk/info that will be in the final of ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu/kubuntu-kde4?
[12:02] <xivulon> need to doublecheck the parser
[12:07] <Silicium> cjwatson: mom
[12:07] <Silicium> is installing
[12:12] <Silicium> cjwatson: http://beta.rsa-systems.de/
[12:18] <Silicium> ah
[12:18] <Silicium> i think i found the failure
[12:21] <cjwatson> no obvious reason why it failed to start there ...
[12:22] <Silicium> a bug in my post install script :)
[12:36] <Silicium> argh
[12:36] <Silicium> already same problem
[12:39] <Silicium> cjwatson: can you check the syslog again?
[12:39] <Silicium> so is already not work
[12:40] <Silicium> but the udev bug is fixed in the actual image
[12:40] <Silicium> i have used the rc-server image
[12:40] <cjwatson> ask pitti (postgresql maintainer) if it's something he recognises; beyond that I'm afraid providing support for custom images is all but impossible
[12:40] <Silicium> ok
[14:50] <CIA-1> casper: cjwatson * r506 casper/scripts/casper-bottom/19keyboard: separate options with commas, not spaces
[14:53] <CIA-1> casper: cjwatson * r507 casper/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.131
[20:25] <mario_limonciell> evand, it would appear that cjwatson's fix for preseeding the keyboard isn't working in noninteractive. I preseeded 'd-i console-setup/localecode string cn' in the preseed file, but still ended up with USA selected in oem-config (Using Ubiquity 1.8.5)
[20:26] <evand> argh, ok. I'll take a look at it once this ISO finishes downloading.
[20:27] <evand> mario_limonciell: is it working for you in the gtk frontend?
[20:27] <cjwatson> oem-config may well be busted in its own right
[20:27] <cjwatson> consider it separately ...
[20:27] <mario_limonciell> i'll redo an install w/ automatic and see if it turns out right
[20:29] <cjwatson> also have a look at /etc/default/console-setup after installation but before rebooting to oem-config and see what it has
[20:29] <cjwatson> oh, huh
[20:29] <cjwatson> - ['^console-setup/layout', '^console-setup/variant'],
[20:29] <cjwatson> - {'OVERRIDE_ALLOW_PRESEEDING': '1'})
[20:29] <cjwatson> + ['^console-setup/layout', '^console-setup/variant'])
[20:29] <cjwatson> I suspect I forgot to transcribe that one
[20:30] <evand> ah
[20:31] <CIA-1> oem-config: cjwatson * r454 oem-config/ (debian/changelog lib/components/console_setup.py):
[20:31] <CIA-1> oem-config: * Set OVERRIDE_ALLOW_PRESEEDING=1 while calling console-setup to force it
[20:31] <CIA-1> oem-config: to allow preseeding (LP: #188492).
[20:31] <cjwatson> I'm going to do an opportunistic translation export for that upload
[20:31] <cjwatson> and also want to wait to see if I'm going to upload console-setup
[20:39] <CIA-1> console-setup: cjwatson * r67 ubuntu/debian/changelog: * Rebuild against xkeyboard-config 1.1~cvs.20080104.1-1ubuntu6.
[20:41] <CIA-1> console-setup: cjwatson * r68 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.21ubuntu8
[21:00] <mario_limonciell> evand, using the gtk frontend (via automatic-ubiquity instead of noninteractive on the kernel command line) I see XKBLAYOUT="us" in /etc/default/console-setup
[21:00] <mario_limonciell> i booted into recovery mode before letting the oem config dm take over
[21:01] <evand> despite using cn, correct?
[21:01] <mario_limonciell> yeah
[21:01] <evand> ok
[21:02] <mario_limonciell> i dont preseed any variant code under the assumption the default gets used
[21:11] <xivulon> is the console setup issue only for preseeding or also for boot parameters?
[21:11] <xivulon> do I need to change anything on my side?
[21:58] <mario_limonciell> xivulon, i'm preseeding in a file
[21:58] <mario_limonciell> i'm not sure if boot parameters were also affected
[21:59] <xivulon> ok
[22:04] <cjwatson> xivulon: don't worry about it, not wubi's problem
[22:04] <cjwatson> mario_limonciell: hoping my casper and gfxboot-theme-ubuntu changes earlier today will have cleared this up
[22:06] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, okay great :)
[22:09] <cjwatson> I stress "hoping"
[22:10] <cjwatson> actually, it's not entirely clear why it would
[22:11] <cjwatson> preseeding won't affect /etc/default/console-setup in the running installer, only (at best) after reboot
[22:11] <cjwatson> because of the buggy way that preseeding is implemented in casper
[22:11] <cjwatson> mario_limonciell: I'm interested in whether /etc/default/console-setup is correct after reboot
[22:11] <cjwatson> as in, after the first reboot, once ubiquity has run
[22:14] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, that is what i tried using the RC DVD (20080417.1). the difference however may be that oem-config-prepare is ran before that first reboot. i'm not sure console-setup related items are touched by it or not (haven't looked)
[22:19] <cjwatson> err, you mean in /target?
[22:20] <cjwatson> anyway, oem-config-prepare doesn't touch that kind of thing, it mostly just fiddles with init scripts
[22:20] <cr3> will udeb packages specified under tasksel be retrieve from any of the mirrors, either specified as mirror/http/hostname or local[0-9]?
[22:21] <cjwatson> cr3: EQUESTIONMAKESNOSENSE, tasksel doesn't install udebs
[22:21] <cjwatson> are you asking about udebs (i.e. anna) or tasksel (i.e. debs)?
[22:23] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, well i intercepted the reboot and grabbed it in recovery mode
[22:23] <mario_limonciell> so at that point it was / not /target
[22:24] <cjwatson> so that's not oem-config-prepare being run before the first reboot. I think I'm confused
[22:24] <cr3> cjwatson: I was wondering about udebs specifically because I'm currently doing wget in early-command which prevents me from benefiting from the priority, eg 7000 for pkgsel
[22:24] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, well in our late scripts it runs oem-config-prepare in /target
[22:24] <cr3> cjwatson: d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install some-udeb
[22:24] <mario_limonciell> i'm saying i intercepted the reboot to see what /etc/default/console-setup looked like
[22:24] <cr3> cjwatson: aha! it's well documented in the pressed example :)
[22:25] <cjwatson> cr3: apt-setup local repositories are handled much later and don't affect anna
[22:26] <cjwatson> mirror/http/hostname etc. is honoured
[22:27] <cr3> cjwatson: darn, so only one udeb repository can be specified
[22:28] <cjwatson> correct
[22:28] <cjwatson> net-retriever isn't smart enough to grab from multiple ones
[22:30] <cr3> cjwatson: I'll workaround that, this is a tiny corner case anyways
[22:33] <cjwatson> mario_limonciell: oh, right
[22:35] <cjwatson> mario_limonciell: I'm simulating it now by poking console-setup/layoutcode=cn into the debconf database before starting ubiquity
[22:41] <joshk> are there any 'nightly' desktop-i386 ISOs?
[22:41] <cjwatson> will daily do?
[22:42] <cjwatson> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[22:42] <joshk> sweet
[22:42] <joshk> thanks
[22:53] <cjwatson> mario_limonciell: seems to be OK in my minimal test; please try with a current image?
[22:54] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, sure i'll grab the last daily and give it a run
[23:59] <bdmurray> Is bug 219209 expected behaviour?
