| mpt | xnox, did you ever see this? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-installer/2012-November/001150.html | 08:52 |
|---|---|---|
| infinity | mpt: A preseed of "tasksel tasksel/first multiselect" (that is, a blank selection) should probably solve his issue. | 08:55 |
| infinity | mpt: Oh, except we have ubuntu-standard in standard, and I bet the installer runs "taskel -ris" or "tasksel -nris", which will pick up those priorities regardless. | 08:59 |
| * mpt doesn't know what tasksel is :-) | 09:00 | |
| infinity | mpt: His only hope may be to skip tasksel entirely, if he's that offended by out standard set. | 09:00 |
| infinity | mpt: tasksel is a curses GUI for picking tasks. It's also the last thing you see on a d-i or server install. | 09:00 |
| infinity | mpt: But when run with flags like -r -i -s, etc, it installs everything of priority required, important, standard, respectively. | 09:01 |
| infinity | mpt: Which *could* be what's happening when people frustratedly try to not install the standard task and get it anyway. | 09:01 |
| infinity | (Wild conjecture, it's 2am, and I can't be bothered to hunt the relevant code) | 09:01 |
| infinity | That said, I'm unconvinced it's much of a problem to install standard by default. It's trivial for people to remove it with a late_command if they're really offended by it, or to hack d-i. | 09:02 |
| mpt | Ah, so that's the bit where you check a [*] checkbox for things like "Web server" | 09:11 |
| infinity | Right. | 09:11 |
| cjwatson | mpt: I think I already sorted him out by private mail | 10:15 |
| mpt | ah, ok | 10:15 |
| cjwatson | copied my answer to the list now | 10:16 |
| cjwatson | (for the record, with preseeding: "tasksel tasksel/skip-tasks string standard") | 10:17 |
| mpt | thanks | 10:29 |
| xnox | neat preseed value. | 10:34 |
| superm1 | cjwatson: would you mind looking at the approach in bug 1105289? in order to make our oem image in time we're probably going to have to (at least temporarily) fork grub-installer/ubiquity w/ it, but it would be better if the same thing would eventually be landing upstream for next time we resync | 16:04 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1105289 in grub-installer (Ubuntu Raring) "Factory Installation w/ secure boot needs a force flag" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1105289 | 16:04 |
| cjwatson | actually I'd rather not introduce new interface for this in that way, because the plan is to make grub-install just install the SB image automatically on UEFI systems | 16:12 |
| stgraber | superm1: can't you just preseed the additional -signed packages and a late command doing "grub-install --uefi-secure-boot"? may be easier on maintenance than forking ubiquity/grub-installer | 16:15 |
| superm1 | cjwatson: Ok, that sounds like a better solution indeed. any particular reason that you didn't do that initially? | 16:15 |
| cjwatson | superm1: didn't think of it; when I did think of it, didn't have time | 16:16 |
| superm1 | ah | 16:16 |
| cjwatson | Steve suggested it at UDS and I took a work item | 16:16 |
| cjwatson | it's on my list for 13.04 / 12.04.3 | 16:16 |
| superm1 | great to hear, thanks | 16:17 |
| superm1 | stgraber: that's a good point, i'll have to look into it to see if it's workable for us | 16:18 |

| johnsterdotcom | I'm trying to use automatic-ubiquity to automate a 12.04 install. I've passed it a preseed file with ever so many 'd-i ...' commands, but I'm still not able to install/remove some packages, and my network is half-baked. Is there better (ie: more reliable) set of ubiquity-specific verbs I should be using? For instance, I've found 'ubiquity ubiquity/keep-installed string icedtea6-plugin' ... that's what ma | 19:24 |
| xnox | some are documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation | 19:25 |
| xnox | note that typically tasksel is not running, so one cannot install/remove packages as easily. | 19:25 |
| xnox | you can presseed ubiquity/success_command with something like 'in-target apt-get install pkgs..." | 19:26 |
| johnsterdotcom | I'll look into that doc ... and the apt-get trick will be handy, absolutely | 19:34 |
| johnsterdotcom | thank you | 19:34 |
| johnsterdotcom | i am still having an issue where the /etc/network/interfaces file is has: | 23:28 |
| johnsterdotcom | auto eth0 | 23:28 |
| johnsterdotcom | iface eth0 inet manual | 23:28 |
| johnsterdotcom | but nothing else | 23:28 |
| johnsterdotcom | is that a known issue? | 23:29 |
| xnox | mine doesn't even have that. Only "auto lo" | 23:42 |
| xnox | do you have network-manager installed? | 23:42 |
| johnsterdotcom | yes | 23:42 |
| xnox | not sure, how you got that. Unless that's how the network was configured during the install and got copied into the target? | 23:47 |
| xnox | i'm not sure, how it ended up looking like that for you. | 23:47 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0 | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 300 | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/get_hostname string your_host_name | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/get_hostname seen true | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/get_domain string example.com | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/get_domain seen true | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/dhcp_failed note | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.10.12 | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.10.141 | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0 | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.10.1 | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true | 23:53 |
| johnsterdotcom | I assume it wants to edit /etc/network/interfaces and not the network-manager config | 23:54 |
| xnox | is all of that for ubiquity preseed? | 23:56 |
| johnsterdotcom | no there's quit a lot more. | 23:57 |
| xnox | typically ubiquity preseed is very short. E.g http://paste.ubuntu.com/1595235/ | 23:57 |
| xnox | to rely on automatic networking configuration as usually that should just work with typical dhcp based networks.... | 23:58 |
| xnox | above preseed is used to automatically install ubiquity desktop cds in our jenkins lab. | 23:58 |
