| pabs3 | infinity, cjwatson: any thoughts on my question about segfaults in netcfg? | 02:52 |
|---|---|---|
| pabs3 | <pabs3> I noticed that with "d-i netcfg/enable boolean false" in preseeding, netcfg from the Ubuntu precise 12.04.1 segfaults. is this a known bug? any suggested workaround? | 02:53 |
| pabs3 | <pabs3> er s/segfaults/alternate installer segfaults/ | 02:53 |
| pabs3 | <pabs3> this is in an i386 vm with virt-install & kvm | 02:53 |
| pabs3 | <pabs3> found a workaround; set static network with bogus addresses in the 127.x range | 02:53 |
| FourDollars | Hi, I use Ubuntu 12.04 netboot by a customazied preseed.cfg. I am wondering why the settings of preseed.cfg are not propagated into the root filesystem under /target ? How can I provide the preseed.cfg for the root filesystem under /target ? | 07:56 |
| cjwatson | FourDollars: Anything whose owner (the first field) isn't "d-i" is copied into the target system | 07:57 |
| cjwatson | So use d-i to preseed the installer, and other owners - typically the package owning the templates in question - to preseed the installed system. This is explained in the installation guide | 07:58 |
| FourDollars | cjwatson: I see. Thank you. | 08:00 |
| FourDollars | cjwatson: Does 'grub-pc' use "ubiquity grub-installer/bootdev" or something else to specify the boot loader location to install? | 08:07 |
| FourDollars | Or grub-pc/install_devices ? | 08:09 |
| * FourDollars is trying 'grub-pc grub-pc/install_devices multiselect /dev/sda'. | 08:20 | |
| cjwatson | FourDollars: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html | 09:22 |
| cjwatson | I don't recommend preseeding grub-pc/install_devices directly during initial system installation, even though that is the final destination; grub-installer handles that itself. Use 'd-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/sda' as per the guide (ignoring the way it uses GRUB Legacy-style "(hd0,0)" naming). | 09:23 |
| cjwatson | (Please note I'm on holiday today; further replies will be arbitrarily delayed ...) | 09:24 |
| FourDollars | cjwatson: thanks a lot. | 09:24 |
| FourDollars | cjwatson: I see. | 09:24 |
| FourDollars | cjwatson: I have tried 'd-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0)' but it doesn't work. I will try 'd-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/sda' to see the result. | 09:26 |
| FourDollars | cjwatson: Have a good time. :) | 09:26 |
| cjwatson | Indeed, I'm not sure I'd expect (hd0) to work any more. | 09:27 |
| cjwatson | I've tried to excise references to that style but may not have got them all. | 09:27 |
