| GrueMaster | Is there any reason why precise netinstall is now prompting me for hostname? I haven't changed my preseed since UDS, and this appears to be fairly recent (couple of weeks). | 16:52 |
| GrueMaster | It still gets the hostname from dhcp, but then it is asking for verification. | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | not that I know of - can I have a DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer log? | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | netcfg hasn't changed since oneiric | 16:53 |
| GrueMaster | Sure, I'll pastebin it as soon as possible. | 16:54 |
| kyleN | ev, Hi. can one preseed ubiquity (oneiric) to enable partners archive in end user sources.list? default is present but commented out. | 16:56 |
| cjwatson | kyleN: d-i apt-setup/partner boolean true | 16:58 |
| kyleN | thank you cjwatson | 16:59 |
| GrueMaster | cjwatson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/814453/ | 17:03 |
| GrueMaster | preseed is :http://paste.ubuntu.com/814457/ | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | GrueMaster: you need to put network preseeding on the kernel command line - your preseed file isn't being processed until after the network is configured, because you're using url= | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | this hasn't changed in forever, so maybe you changed kernel parameters recently or something? | 17:12 |
| GrueMaster | I haven't changed much on the cmdline either. Checking the latest changes now, but url= is what I have used forever. | 17:13 |
| GrueMaster | Only changes I can see is debconf/priority=critical and DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text | 17:15 |
| GrueMaster | The first one is now debconf/priority=high | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | well, that would cause this question to be asked too | 17:15 |
| GrueMaster | Ah, so switch back to critical? | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | since this question is asked at priority high | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | depends why you changed in the first place :) | 17:16 |
| GrueMaster | More logging info (according to the limited documentation). | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | that's incorrect | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | the one and only purpose of dropping the priority is to cause more questions to be asked | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | it doesn't alter logging | 17:17 |
| GrueMaster | I initially switched DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text on, but wasn't getting much of anything on the serial console. | 17:18 |
| GrueMaster | This is more for serial console monitoring than syslog output. | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | you only get output from DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text if questions are asked ... | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | so if you're regarding that as logging, then I guess, but that's not its purpose, it's an interaction method | 17:19 |
| GrueMaster | Well, my goal is to be able to monitor the serial console during install and either fail the install or script around hiccups (like on some semi-unsupported platforms). | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | wouldn't anything that requires that kind of thing result in a question being asked? | 17:20 |
| cjwatson | (actually, progress bars should result in text frontend output too) | 17:21 |
| GrueMaster | No, progress bars show as: Attempting IPv6 autoconfiguration; please wait... ..10%..20%..30%..100% | 17:21 |
| GrueMaster | As opposed to curl formatting. | 17:21 |
| cjwatson | that's what I said :) | 17:21 |
| cjwatson | that's text frontend output for the debconf progress bar type | 17:22 |
| cjwatson | progress bar output from programs goes to syslog - I don't anticipate changing that | 17:22 |
| cjwatson | but nothing in d-i should ever hang forever in a subsidiary program anyway - if it's something that may need to be cancelled, it should be a cancellable progress bar | 17:23 |
| cjwatson | now, admittedly the text frontend has no support for the cancellable capability | 17:23 |
| cjwatson | but I think at this point it would be worth discussing specifics of what you want to be able to script rather than upgrading bits of plumbing on-spec | 17:23 |
| GrueMaster | The hangs I experience are partially mirror/pool skew and also missing kernels. | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | missing kernels will be a question | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | as will mirror/pool skew | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | if those aren't showing up as questions even at priority critical then we have a bug | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | questions of error type are displayed regardless of priority | 17:25 |
| cjwatson | so I wouldn't expect dropping the priority to have any influence on that | 17:26 |
| GrueMaster | Ok, I'll rechange it here and try again. | 17:28 |
| cjwatson | I guess you'd have to have a way to reproduce such errors reliably | 17:28 |
| cjwatson | temporarily move a package aside on a local mirror or something | 17:29 |
| GrueMaster | I can reproduce it on a platform that we don't have a kernel in the mirror for. I think I may have switched priority before switching the frontend, come to think of it. | 17:32 |
| GrueMaster | Anyways, thanks for the info. Documentation ... needs work. :P | 17:33 |
| borudev | Hello, how is everyone? I had a quick question troubleshooting my ubuntu 11.10 server installation. I installed the same OS on 2 different servers and I'm experiencing the same problem. What happens is I turn on the server, it's ok for few hours, and then when I try to SSH to it, it get a time out, when I plug in the keyboard, and type something then I can connect to it again. Seems | 17:39 |
| borudev | that it's going to some kind of sleep mode. Note, no desktop was installed just pure server OS. Anyone had this issue before? what could cause it? Thanks | 17:39 |
| cjwatson | doesn't sound like an installer bug, out of our purview :) | 17:40 |
| borudev | uh | 17:40 |
| cjwatson | I guess either a kernel- or server-oriented channel might know more | 17:41 |
| borudev | thanks ill try there | 17:42 |
