| 2006-06-05 02:51:28 | Colin Watson | ubiquity: statusexplanation | Wow, a video is an innovative although rather bandwidth-heavy approach. :-) Unfortunately it doesn't really tell me much. Could you please run 'UBIQUITY_DEBUG=1 sudo ubiquity' from a terminal and attach /var/log/installer/syslog to this bug? Be sure to use a throwaway password if you get that far, since in debug mode the password will be written to the log file. | ||

I'm really quite inclined to reject this, on the grounds that removing files in /var/cache/debconf is pretty much akin to removing ubiquity's brains through its nose and throwing them in the bin; that's where it keeps all its text strings and its database, and you absolutely must not remove it. However, it *is* /var/cache, and it would be nice if ubiquity could recover gracefully from having it deleted out from under it, per the FHS. So I'll keep this around as a wishlist request. | |
