argesHi! 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
argesIn addition is there a way to just do this via menus in the installer?15:15
xnoxinfinity: ^ was there a dead simple way to side-load debs?15:19
infinityarges: 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
argesinfinity: 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 it16:13
infinityAlso, 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 -i16:16
infinityHackish, but would work.16:16
xnoxinfinity: do you happen to have dell driver-injection-disk for testing purposes?16:18
argesinfinity: 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 menus16:18
xnoxarges: 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
argesxnox: ok writing this down16:22
xnoxto install.16:22
xnoxbut i'd want to test that.16:22
argesyea i'm going to hack a bit on my end to figure this out16:23
xnoxarges: looking at driver-injection-disk.sh code, it does install all udebs it finds, and caches debs for in-target install.16:27
xnoxarges: so the driver-injection-disk in question probably was not detected at all and thus didn't work at all.16:27
argesxnox: yup. so that's really what we want : ) so driver-injection-disk for testing/no-network install, and PPA for network install that works16:27
argesxnox: yea i'm having narinder format his disk to FAT and re-try, he was using ext216:27
xnoxarges: sounds good.16:28
arges: )16:28
