[08:52] xnox, did you ever see this? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-installer/2012-November/001150.html [08:55] mpt: A preseed of "tasksel tasksel/first multiselect" (that is, a blank selection) should probably solve his issue. [08:59] 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. [09:00] * mpt doesn't know what tasksel is :-) [09:00] mpt: His only hope may be to skip tasksel entirely, if he's that offended by out standard set. [09:00] mpt: tasksel is a curses GUI for picking tasks. It's also the last thing you see on a d-i or server install. [09:01] mpt: But when run with flags like -r -i -s, etc, it installs everything of priority required, important, standard, respectively. [09:01] mpt: Which *could* be what's happening when people frustratedly try to not install the standard task and get it anyway. [09:01] (Wild conjecture, it's 2am, and I can't be bothered to hunt the relevant code) [09:02] 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. [09:11] Ah, so that's the bit where you check a [*] checkbox for things like "Web server" [09:11] Right. [10:15] mpt: I think I already sorted him out by private mail [10:15] ah, ok [10:16] copied my answer to the list now [10:17] (for the record, with preseeding: "tasksel tasksel/skip-tasks string standard") [10:29] thanks [10:34] neat preseed value. [16:04] 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] Launchpad bug 1105289 in grub-installer (Ubuntu Raring) "Factory Installation w/ secure boot needs a force flag" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1105289 [16:12] 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 [16:15] 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] cjwatson: Ok, that sounds like a better solution indeed. any particular reason that you didn't do that initially? [16:16] superm1: didn't think of it; when I did think of it, didn't have time [16:16] ah [16:16] Steve suggested it at UDS and I took a work item [16:16] it's on my list for 13.04 / 12.04.3 [16:17] great to hear, thanks [16:18] stgraber: that's a good point, i'll have to look into it to see if it's workable for us === kentb is now known as kentb-lunch === ogra_ is now known as ogra === kentb-lunch is now known as kentb [19:24] 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 [19:25] some are documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation [19:25] note that typically tasksel is not running, so one cannot install/remove packages as easily. [19:26] you can presseed ubiquity/success_command with something like 'in-target apt-get install pkgs..." [19:34] I'll look into that doc ... and the apt-get trick will be handy, absolutely [19:34] thank you [23:28] i am still having an issue where the /etc/network/interfaces file is has: [23:28] auto eth0 [23:28] iface eth0 inet manual [23:28] but nothing else [23:29] is that a known issue? [23:42] mine doesn't even have that. Only "auto lo" [23:42] do you have network-manager installed? [23:42] yes [23:47] 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] i'm not sure, how it ended up looking like that for you. [23:53] d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0 [23:53] d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 300 [23:53] d-i netcfg/get_hostname string your_host_name [23:53] d-i netcfg/get_hostname seen true [23:53] d-i netcfg/get_domain string example.com [23:53] d-i netcfg/get_domain seen true [23:53] d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true [23:53] d-i netcfg/dhcp_failed note [23:53] d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.10.12 [23:53] d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.10.141 [23:53] d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0 [23:53] d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.10.1 [23:53] d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true [23:54] I assume it wants to edit /etc/network/interfaces and not the network-manager config [23:56] is all of that for ubiquity preseed? [23:57] no there's quit a lot more. [23:57] typically ubiquity preseed is very short. E.g http://paste.ubuntu.com/1595235/ [23:58] to rely on automatic networking configuration as usually that should just work with typical dhcp based networks.... [23:58] above preseed is used to automatically install ubiquity desktop cds in our jenkins lab.
