The same is also true on linux jessie and sid. This preseeds to install XFCE: tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, xfce-desktop whereas this (traditional way) no longer does anything, and you would still get GNOME or whatever is default: tasksel tasksel/desktop multiselect xfce Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I believe it's completely fixed by now: using tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, xfce-desktop works to preseed the desktop on !linux, and the tasksel/desktop preseeding works as expected.

We'd need this for accessibility, to enable MATE by default when braille or speech was used. I have tried the following: debconf-set-selections mate-preseed.cfg where mate-pressed.cfg contains: tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, mate-desktop, print-server tasksel tasksel/first seen false tasksel tasksel/tasks multiselect standard, mate-desktop, print-server tasksel tasksel/tasks seen false tasksel tasksel/desktop mate tasksel tasksel/desktop seen false After that, debconf-get tasksel/first etc. return the expected values. But when arriving on the task choices, gnome is still the default... and debconf-get tasksel/first etc. have become empty. I guess I am missing something?

Bug#769616: tasksel: fails to preseed desktop on kfreebsd, hurd
Package: src:tasksel Version: 3.29 Severity: important Hi, (this bug may also affect linux release architectures other than i386|amd64|powerpc*, and their CD media, so severity may be higher) It was seen on kfreebsd and hurd that preseeding with: tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, desktop tasksel tasksel/desktop multiselect xfce no longer works, a regressions since wheezy; no desktop gets installed: https://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2014/11/msg00074.html The logic gets ridiculously complex, but I gather that: * tasksel/first item "desktop", used to be the only thing listed; selecting or preseeding it would previously install task-desktop as well as task-xfce-desktop (whatever was default, or preseeded as tasksel/desktop) * now, preseeding tasksel/desktop seems to work *only* if /usr/lib/tasksel/tests/desktop decides it should install a desktop; irrespective of whether tasksel/first includes "desktop" * as such, on kfreebsd, hurd and some other arches, selecting or preseeding tasksel/first with "desktop" only leads to task-desktop being installed (the parent item), but not the individual task for desktop, despite setting tasksel/desktop So I think possible ways to fix this are: 1. simply adding kfreebsd-* and hurd-* to the list of "common desktop architectures" may inadvertently fix this - that determines whether tasksel preselects the 'desktop' option by default; currently the list has only (linux-) i386|amd64|powerpc* and may explain why the bug wasn't noticed there 2. make tests/default-desktop not conditional on check_desktop_wanted, if tasksel/first has "desktop", or tasksel/desktop is preseeded 3. make tests/desktop (whether to install a desktop) answer "yes" (exit 2) if tasksel/first has "desktop", or tasksel/desktop is preseeded, overriding any guess it would make based on architecture, diskspace, RAM etc. that it does currently I'll send a patch for consideration that probably does all three in some way. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: kfreebsd-amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: kFreeBSD 9.0-2-amd64-xenhvm-ipsec Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
