I'm trying to use d-i to preseed an install for ubuntu-server. [07:17] How can I set the grub options ? [07:18] Is there a place where all the d-i preseed options are documented ? [07:22] 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. [07:23] Another option is to look at the templates files in the source package for the component you're interested in [07:24] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs04.html is probably as good as it gets, documentationwise [07:26] evand, thom: ok. Thanks. [07:26] I also run into another problem when I was trying to run a complete automated install. [07:26] in the documentation, it's written that the auto option on the kernel would do the right thing [07:27] however I still get asked some question (like detecting the keyboard) [07:27] mathiaz: some options have to be seeded on the kernel cmdline. [07:27] isn't the auto option supposed to postponed all the keyboard/langage question after the network is up ? [07:27] unless you're doing initrd preseeding [07:28] I'm trying to do http preseeding [07:28] thom: there's a more appropriate version on help.ubuntu.com [07:28] https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html [07:28] so that I don't have to remaster the iso whenever I want to install a new ubuntu-server instance [07:29] 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] you don't have to do any preseeding for that [07:29] I'm trying to automate iso tests, and there are a couple of test cases I'd like to cover automatically. [07:29] 'auto' is not what you want; you're looking at the wrong documentation, I suspect [07:29] cjwatson: ahah [07:29] cjwatson: I was looking at the debian documentation. [07:29] mathiaz: don't [07:29] cjwatson: ok. I'll have a look at help.u.c then [07:30] 'auto' activates auto-install which isn't in main and isn't in our installer [07:30] (because it's a recent development and we haven't looked at integrating it properly yet) [07:30] is there a way to achieve the same thing in our installer ? [07:30] auto-install is just a convenience wrapper, it's not essential. See our documentation [07:31] cjwatson: ok. Thanks. [07:31] our support team will recommend Kickstart, though you may need to supplement that with preseeding from time to time [07:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html [10:06] bug 137338 === evand shakes fist at the nonexistant bot [10:07] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/137338 [10:07] cjwatson: bad burn or squashfs bug? === xivulon [n=ago@87-194-85-156.bethere.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-installer [12:05] cjwatson,evand, do you know when fuse and lupin-gutsy will be in the daily build?
