| fsmithred | plasma41, I had a close look at that bug I told you about. | 01:28 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | it's been that way since jessie. I don't even know how/if it manifests. | 01:29 |
| fsmithred | might be fish (herring) instead of bug | 01:30 |
| rrq | yes I thinke there was a period in time when the installed system didn't failed to get a grub splash image but I think we dealt with that .. though maybe with a "magic touch" patch up inthe installer | 01:35 |
| rrq | s/didn't// | 01:36 |
| rrq | (yes.. comment: "desktop-base gets installed before grub, so we need to add the theme now") | 01:38 |
| rrq | (magic-touch is run as a last script when the installation finishes; after the last, "remove media" dialog) | 01:40 |
| fsmithred | that sounds familiar | 01:41 |
| rrq | (note that some users interrupt the installation procedure there with a reboot rather than pressing "ok" button.. so they miss out of magic-touch) | 01:41 |
| fsmithred | cool, I can close that bug report. | 01:43 |
| rrq | it suggests that one should"fix" things by having a zz-desktop-base that gets installed later; or in some what make it add a grub hook .. or initramfs-tools hook.. to install the splash after grub installation | 01:44 |
| rrq | what=way | 01:44 |
| fsmithred | a fix for a use who missed the magic touch would be to reinstall desktop-base? | 01:45 |
| fsmithred | use/user | 01:45 |
| rrq | yes, possibly | 01:45 |
| rrq | I suppose it's als a serious flaw in the installer, to claim that the installation is finished before it is finished :) | 01:47 |
| rrq | (where does the a finish-install udeb belong?) | 01:52 |
| fsmithred | probably at the end, but it really depends on what it does | 01:53 |
| rrq | I meant which source does it belong to | 01:54 |
| fsmithred | I know very little about udebs | 01:55 |
| fsmithred | does grub automatically pick up a theme if the theme is in /boot/grub? | 01:55 |
| fsmithred | I don't remember | 01:55 |
| rrq | I think it shows that last dialog and it has a directory of scripts that are run after the user press "continue" | 01:55 |
| rrq | sorry I'm talking about the finish-install package | 01:56 |
| rrq | the magic-touch script puts splash.png in /target/boot/grub and then it runs in-target update-grub | 01:57 |
| rrq | so "automatically" is wrong word :) | 01:58 |
| fsmithred | it doesn't. I found my notes on setting up a grub theme with encrypted root | 01:59 |
| fsmithred | still needs a line in /etc/default/grub | 01:59 |
| fsmithred | and then run update-grub again | 02:00 |
| rrq | perhaps one can drop some magic into /etc/grub.d/ nowadays? | 02:01 |
| rrq | unless a grub installation would object to a pre-existing directory | 02:02 |
| fsmithred | live isos will take config files from a tree, but I think that happens at the end | 02:09 |
| fsmithred | end of the build, I mean | 02:10 |
| fsmithred | well, end of the boot if you use hook files | 02:10 |
| greenjeans | I think i've discovered what CSS really stands for: Completely Stupid Shit | 20:11 |
| greenjeans | oops, sorry, wrong channel for that comment dangit, my bad | 20:14 |
| fsmithred | not entirely off-topic | 20:36 |
