| ryoohki | Zelut: your demo http://zelut.org/projects/misc/ks-test.cfg is working fine( with minor changes for my location) but i need the lvm | 01:16 |
|---|---|---|
| Zelut | ryoohki: yeah, LVM gets more complicated if you go outside the pre-built installer suggestions/options. | 01:16 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: did you see my preseed inclusions in the pastebin? http://pastebin.com/m31722c41 & http://pastebin.com/m1741965 | 01:21 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: is @Base not a vaild choice? is %Post not available as well? | 01:22 |
| Zelut | I believe %post is supported but I don't recognize @base | 01:25 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: actually they both work. i tried "@ base" instead of "@Base" which, if i remember correctly, works on Centos | 01:34 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: can the preseed lvm incluse not be made to work? | 01:35 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: is noone in the world using this and therefore there is no working example? | 01:36 |
| Zelut | ryoohki: preseed can do lvm but its *MUCH* easier to use one of the pre-built options, like the LVM options you get doing a manual install. | 01:36 |
| Zelut | ryoohki: I have never preseeded a custom LVM setup. I've only used the preselected options. | 01:37 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: i only want 100mb /boot, LVM rest of the disk, swap 2 x ram, and / whatever. this must be a very common desire - not an odd request at all | 01:38 |
| Zelut | isn't that one of the pre-offered options in the LVM section of partman? | 01:39 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: did you see how i was including the preseed lvm in my kickstart? this is right out of examples pulled from the web - even from ubuntu's own example-preseed.txt | 01:40 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: i think so | 01:40 |
| ryoohki | select Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM | 01:40 |
| ryoohki | preseed d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM | 01:41 |
| ryoohki | always stops at this screen no matter what | 01:41 |
| ryoohki | and asks for my input anyway | 01:42 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: this preseed stuff is upset easily by spaces btw - one must have the right number of spaces | 01:43 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: our company runs an apt-proxy so our sources.lists have: http://ourcompany.com:9999/security and http://ourcompany.com:9999/ubuntu/ | 02:24 |
| GeorgesLeYeti | hello | 10:33 |
| GeorgesLeYeti | i'm looking to preseed mirroir | 10:33 |
| GeorgesLeYeti | can we do that with ubiquity ? | 10:33 |
| === davmor3 is now known as davmor2 | ||
| davmor2 | xivulon: I went to the windbg page and it doesn't seem to list windbg. Do you have a direct link for it still? | 11:47 |
| xivulon | http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx | 12:08 |
| xivulon | I submitted a patch for casper though that would allow us to skip ISO extraction alltogether :) | 12:09 |
| xivulon | I am waiting for evand to come back to see what he thinks of it, but it might be a good solution | 12:09 |
| xivulon | and as a bonus also addresses DVD compatibility | 12:10 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: I downloaded that but how do I run it for debugging, on the site it says you'll need 2 machines. windbg isn't a know command or does it apply it's debugging by default? | 12:12 |
| xivulon | it should launch a GUI debugger, and from there you can attach to a running process or run a new process from scratch | 12:12 |
| davmor2 | right ta | 12:15 |
| GeorgesLeYeti | i'm looking to preseed the mirror configuration, can we do that with ubiquity ? | 12:19 |
| evand | xivulon: re 230716> that should be OK, though I don't think it's appropriate for 8.04.1 | 12:45 |
| davmor2 | xivulon: The cd2iso.exe dies that minute I add it to windbg and it won't start running if I run it from windbg | 12:56 |
| === davmor2 is now known as davmor2_dinner | ||
| xivulon | evand, hi | 13:32 |
| xivulon | I am not sure the cd2iso can be fixed otherwise | 13:32 |
| xivulon | I did a bit of googling and the same issues seem to bite almost any ISO extraction tool under the sun... | 13:33 |
| xivulon | it's likely to be a windows problem | 13:33 |
| xivulon | the casper changes per se are not invasive I would think, and should have no impact on existing use | 13:34 |
| evand | but it's ultimately just a new feature (DVD support), and invasive or not, 8.04.1 is for bug fixes. | 13:40 |
| xivulon | ah no maybe I wasn't clear | 13:40 |
| xivulon | the main purpos is to avoid the problems with CD ISO extraction | 13:41 |
| xivulon | bug #207137 | 13:41 |
| xivulon | the idea being to skip ISO extraction alltogether and only copy squashfs | 13:42 |
| evand | ok, I'll take another look in a bit. | 13:42 |
| xivulon | but of course I need casper to be able to boot off a given squashfs file | 13:42 |
| xivulon | the fact that the same fix can also address the DVD issue is a side benefit | 13:42 |
| xivulon | which doesn't hurt I suppose | 13:42 |
| xivulon | thx | 13:42 |
| xivulon | hmmm just occurred to me... | 13:45 |
| xivulon | ubiquity does not actually need any file other than the squashfs, correct? | 13:46 |
| xivulon | If so the patch should be enough | 13:47 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: have you gotten the LVM automated install working yet? | 18:10 |
| ryoohki | is there a way to select a minimal install? "@ base" goes ahead and installs x and open office on our servers. | 18:13 |
| HopsNBarley | my automated install works great on an ATA drive. my mobo also has sata, so i put a sata drive in, removed the ata. Now the partitioner is failing. however, i can cat /proc/partitions, read the dmesg and see a drive. any ideas? | 18:47 |
| === kro` is now known as kro | ||
| ryoohki | HopsNBarley: what are you using to partion the drive, kickstart or preseed? also, drive order matters. are you using sda for the sata drive? | 19:51 |
| ryoohki | Zelut: are you around today? | 21:58 |
| HopsNBarley | hi ryoohki - preseed. is this the problem in my preseed: d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/hda | 23:42 |
| HopsNBarley | ?? | 23:42 |
| HopsNBarley | gotta be - let me rerun it.... | 23:43 |
| ryoohki | HopsNBarley: sata is sda | 23:48 |
