Don't run run_target_config_hooks for OEM config mode. It's
already ran during actual installation and can cause problems
during the OEM config run. (LP: #473241)

282. By Evan on 2009-11-12

* Do not try to configure networking in oem-config (LP: #471498).
* pkgsel now provides a debconf question to avoid warning the end user
  when the language packs could not be installed (LP: #471553).

Automatic update of included source packages: partman-basicmethods
43ubuntu2, partman-target 64ubuntu5.

280. By Evan on 2009-10-27

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Do not fail if linux-generic-pae is not in the package cache.
  Thanks Colin Watson (LP: #461377).
* Really don't run oem-config again. Thanks Colin Watson
  (LP: #461546).
* Fix broken reference in the apport hook (LP: #461757).
* Add noninteractive pages for user-setup and migrationassistant as
  well.
* Automatic update of included source packages: user-setup
  1.27ubuntu11.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Run partman in the noninteractive frontend (otherwise we try to install
  to the live CD root!).
* Explicitly print noninteractive output to the console (as the Python
  debconf module redirects sys.stdout to sys.stderr which ends up in
  /var/log/installer/debug).

279. By Evan on 2009-10-24

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Do not install the live CD kernel in the target system when using
  PAE (LP: #413135).
* Properly set the kernel version in the main install process when
  using PAE so that symlinks get created for the kernel and initramfs.
* Automatic update of included source packages: partman-base
  133ubuntu4.
* Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer
  1.43ubuntu8, partman-basicmethods 43ubuntu1.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Change apport hook to prefer syslog, partman, and casper.log from
  /var/log/installer/ if they exist there, to support bug-filing after
  installation.
* Don't set the "incomplete language support" note if only gimp-help-* is
  missing, since it's far too big to fit on CDs (LP: #452516).
* Furthermore, always consider English as "complete enough". The packages
  that are missing from an installation from the Ubuntu desktop CD are not
  critical for a reasonable user experience.
* Make use of check-language-support -a if pkgsel/language-packs is ALL,
  since that's orders of magnitude faster (LP: #458333).
* Keep language-support-$LL installed if it happens to be in the live
  filesystem, since there's no point spending time removing it; but don't
  install it if it isn't in the live filesystem (LP: #458333).

278. By Evan on 2009-10-23

[ Colin Watson ]
* Use new check-language-support --show-installed option added in
  language-selector 0.4.16, so that we can arrange to keep language
  support packages installed that are already present in the live
  filesystem.

[ Mario Limonciello ]
* Pass the debug parameters to ubiquity even if running in noninteractive
  mode.
* Don't provide the old init scripts, even under a temporary name anymore.
  - It appears that there is a race condition that can exist between when
    the upstart'ified version and the initscript version start that may cause
    only-ubiquity and automatic-ubiquity to (poorly) fail. (LP: #457858)
  - All login managers in use (gdm and kdm) have converted to upstart now.

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Calculate the amount of available memory in check-kernels (LP: #413135).
* Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer
  1.43ubuntu7.

277. By Evan on 2009-10-20

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Properly set the size of the partition to be created upon resizing
  in the KDE frontend (LP: #455580).
* Hide the encrypt home radio button in the KDE frontend when in oem-config
  mode (LP: #455479).

[ Colin Watson ]
* KDE frontend: Fix incorrect error message when the slideshow doesn't
  exist.

276. By Colin Watson on 2009-10-20

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Check to see whether X crashed or ubiquity crashed before attempting
  to bail into the noninteractive frontend from only-ubiquity mode
  (LP: #444901).
* Wrap the format warning label while working around GTK+ label layout
  problems (LP: #364617).

[ Colin Watson ]
* Rewrite X_LOADTEMPLATEFILE commands in case they refer to template files
  in the /target chroot (LP: #452118).
* Install -generic-pae kernels if necessary; this requires some custom
  hacks since -generic-pae isn't in the live filesystem (LP: #413135).
* Don't do kernel installation/removal in oem-config.
* Skip partition_too_small check during Wubi installs, as Wubi does some
  of its own checks and the delay imposed by this check looks particularly
  weird in Wubi. This may or may not be the cause of apparent hangs
  towards the end of partitioning, but I suspect that it will at least get
  rid of some conflated reports and make testing quicker.
* Update translations from Launchpad.
* Automatic update of included source packages: clock-setup 0.98ubuntu3,
  flash-kernel 2.13ubuntu13, grub-installer 1.43ubuntu6, partman-auto
  89ubuntu2, partman-target 64ubuntu4.

[ Mario Limonciello ]
* Mythbuntu: Don't allow "removing" LIRC as it's not supported with install.

[ Roman Shtylman ]
* Fixed India timezone map (LP: #453009)

[ Michael Casadevall ]
* Added support for partman-uboot in ubiquity (LP: #455713)

275. By Colin Watson on 2009-10-14

[ Colin Watson ]
* Bump to a stable version number series for Ubuntu 9.10.

  The main reason for the version bump was because we incorporated
  oem-config and needed to jump past its version numbers, but really
  Ubiquity 2.0.0 is quite different from Ubiquity 1.0.0 despite most of
  the changes being gradual and incremental. 3.5 years and nearly 5000
  lines of changelog entries later, we have several active developers,
  lots more translations, apport integration, a new partitioner,
  migration-assistant, automation, Mythbuntu and noninteractive frontends,
  Wubi, reinstallation without reformatting, a new timezone map,
  accessibility, many UI improvements, a slideshow, plugin support, and
  much more. Here's to version 3!

* Install kernel headers to match the kernel (LP: #413135).
* Recommend dmraid to ensure consistent behaviour across Ubuntu flavours
  (it was already present on the Ubuntu desktop CD, but e.g. not on
  Kubuntu).
* If dmraid devices are active, then create
  /var/lib/disk-detect/activate_dmraid so that partman will exclude slave
  devices, and ensure that dmraid is installed in the target (LP: #90235).
* Use check-language-support if available to select language support
  packages (LP: #434173).
* Update translations from Launchpad.
* Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
  1.102ubuntu2, hw-detect 1.72ubuntu5.

[ Jonathan Riddell ]
* ubi-intro.py: detect kubuntu-netbook-intro.txt if it exists and use
  that as warning for Kubuntu Netbook Edition

274. By Colin Watson on 2009-10-07

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* Handle DATA commands in debconffilter. Support PROGRESS in the apt-
  setup component (LP: #445385).

[ Colin Watson ]
* Automatic update of included source packages: debian-installer-utils
  1.70ubuntu2, partman-target 64ubuntu3.
