| mathiaz | hi. I'm trying to use d-i to preseed an install for ubuntu-server. | 07:17 |
| mathiaz | How can I set the grub options ? | 07:17 |
| mathiaz | Is there a place where all the d-i preseed options are documented ? | 07:18 |
| evand | mathiaz: you could run debconf-get-selections at the end of an install before you reboot. I don't believe there's an actual list though. | 07:22 |
| evand | Another option is to look at the templates files in the source package for the component you're interested in | 07:23 |
| thom | http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs04.html is probably as good as it gets, documentationwise | 07:24 |
| mathiaz | evand, thom: ok. Thanks. | 07:26 |
| mathiaz | I also run into another problem when I was trying to run a complete automated install. | 07:26 |
| mathiaz | in the documentation, it's written that the auto option on the kernel would do the right thing | 07:26 |
| mathiaz | however I still get asked some question (like detecting the keyboard) | 07:27 |
| evand | mathiaz: some options have to be seeded on the kernel cmdline. | 07:27 |
| mathiaz | isn't the auto option supposed to postponed all the keyboard/langage question after the network is up ? | 07:27 |
| evand | unless you're doing initrd preseeding | 07:27 |
| mathiaz | I'm trying to do http preseeding | 07:28 |
| cjwatson | thom: there's a more appropriate version on help.ubuntu.com | 07:28 |
| cjwatson | https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html | 07:28 |
| mathiaz | so that I don't have to remaster the iso whenever I want to install a new ubuntu-server instance | 07:28 |
| cjwatson | in any case, just tacking options onto the kernel command line should cause them to be passed through to the installed kernel's bootloader entries | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | you don't have to do any preseeding for that | 07:29 |
| mathiaz | I'm trying to automate iso tests, and there are a couple of test cases I'd like to cover automatically. | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | 'auto' is not what you want; you're looking at the wrong documentation, I suspect | 07:29 |
| thom | cjwatson: ahah | 07:29 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: I was looking at the debian documentation. | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | mathiaz: don't | 07:29 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: ok. I'll have a look at help.u.c then | 07:29 |
| cjwatson | 'auto' activates auto-install which isn't in main and isn't in our installer | 07:30 |
| cjwatson | (because it's a recent development and we haven't looked at integrating it properly yet) | 07:30 |
| mathiaz | is there a way to achieve the same thing in our installer ? | 07:30 |
| cjwatson | auto-install is just a convenience wrapper, it's not essential. See our documentation | 07:30 |
| mathiaz | cjwatson: ok. Thanks. | 07:31 |
| cjwatson | our support team will recommend Kickstart, though you may need to supplement that with preseeding from time to time | 07:31 |
