Dear All, I've just joined this list, and I wonder if I might seek your help.
Is there a definitive list anywhere of exactly what preseed keys are used by Ubiquity, what they mean, and what values they can have? There are a huge number of documents referring to the various preseed keys, but I can't find one exhaustive and exclusive list of them. Many of the possible preseed values don't actually do anything to the ubiquity installer. For example, this document[1] refers to the following keys: ubiquity languagechooser/language-name select German ubiquity countrychooser/shortlist select DE ubiquity countrychooser/countryname select Germany ubiquity countrychooser/country-name string Germany debconf debconf/language string de ubiquity console-keymaps-at/keymap select de ubiquity tzconfig/gmt boolean false ubiquity time/zone select Europe/Berlin ubiquity debian-installer/country string DE ubiquity debian-installer/language string de ubiquity debian-installer/locale select de_DE.UTF-8 console-setup console-setup/layoutcode select de console-setup console-setup/modelcode select pc105 console-setup console-setup/layout select Germany console-setup console-setup/variant select Germany Yet the Ubiquity installer only asks 3 questions: which language, which city and which keyboard layout. So presumably at least 12 of those 15 keys don't do anything, and (if I'm really lucky), this list includes all 3 of the variables I do need to affect the right bit of the Ubiquity installer. To complicate matters, I'm trying to pre-seed the graphical live-cd installer, whereas most documents refer to the text-mode alternate CD. The Ubiquity GTK installer asks about 12 questions in total, so (I presume) there are about 12 ubiquity variables I need to set in the preseed file ... but I can't find out which ones they are! I've already searched extensively, and looked at the ubiquity source-code[2], but I'm now rather stuck...help? Can anyone point me at the right place? Thanks very much, Richard [1] http://www.joerg-seyfried.de/category/computer/linux/ [2] So far, the best I can come to getting near a list of keys is: grep -Er '[a-z0-9_-]+/[a-z0-9_-]+' /usr/lib/ubiquity/* | grep db | sort -- Ubuntu-installer mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-installer
