| arges | Hi! I need to install a .deb package from a usb stick required for the target machine to boot after install. I understand that something like "d-i preseed/late_command string apt-install <something>" might be a way to acommplish this. how do i get apt-install to pick up something from a usb stick? | 15:11 |
|---|---|---|
| arges | In addition is there a way to just do this via menus in the installer? | 15:15 |
| xnox | infinity: ^ was there a dead simple way to side-load debs? | 15:19 |
| infinity | arges: I thought the plan was for the udeb postinst to set up the PPA in sources.list and then do the install via the network? | 16:12 |
| infinity | (Well, sources.list.d) | 16:12 |
| arges | infinity: so first it would be good to know for testing, and also if we setup a PPA to be added, we still need to get the target to install it | 16:13 |
| infinity | Also, if you have a deb that has no external dependencies, you don't really need apt, you could just copy it to target/tmp/, then in-target dpkg -i | 16:16 |
| infinity | Hackish, but would work. | 16:16 |
| xnox | infinity: do you happen to have dell driver-injection-disk for testing purposes? | 16:18 |
| arges | infinity: so if we add the PPA to the sources, then how do I tell teh installer to put these extra packages in the target? is this a preseed command or something in the menus | 16:18 |
| xnox | arges: d-i apt-setup/local0/repository, d-i apt-setup/local0/comment, d-i apt-setup/local0/key to add ppa, and then I'm guessing "d-i pkgsel/include string pkg" | 16:21 |
| arges | xnox: ok writing this down | 16:22 |
| xnox | to install. | 16:22 |
| xnox | but i'd want to test that. | 16:22 |
| arges | yea i'm going to hack a bit on my end to figure this out | 16:23 |
| xnox | arges: looking at driver-injection-disk.sh code, it does install all udebs it finds, and caches debs for in-target install. | 16:27 |
| xnox | arges: so the driver-injection-disk in question probably was not detected at all and thus didn't work at all. | 16:27 |
| arges | xnox: yup. so that's really what we want : ) so driver-injection-disk for testing/no-network install, and PPA for network install that works | 16:27 |
| arges | xnox: yea i'm having narinder format his disk to FAT and re-try, he was using ext2 | 16:27 |
| xnox | arges: sounds good. | 16:28 |
| arges | : ) | 16:28 |
