fish_hrm, debian-installer/locale should preseed debian-installer/language etc as well, right?14:54
fish_looks like it doesn't14:54
fish_bwuahaha. oops.. I just installed ubuntu successfull - but the whole graphical desktop thingy, not as expected the server 'flavor'16:28
fish_any ideas what I need to preseed so I end up with a fairly minimal server system? (actually I expected that when using the example preseed)16:28
xnoxfish_: which image / iso did you use for the install and what's your preseed?16:30
fish_never mind, already found it. must have missed that16:30
fish_thats the 'problem': tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-desktop16:31
xnox=)16:31
fish_but this was really unexpected. installed everything preseeded, automatically and with static ips. and suddently lightdm came up and I was like wtf?16:32
ogra_just s/ubuntu-desktop/openssh-server/16:32
ogra_;)16:32
fish_didn't even know that those dell drac virtual consoles can do real graphics16:32
xnoxogra_: i'd say "ubuntu-server" but that should work too =)16:32
ogra_heh, yeah16:33
fish_whats the most minimal task? I really don't want much beside ssh16:33
xnoxfish_: "ubuntu-minimal"16:33
ogra_well, then my above line applies16:33
ogra_ubuntu-minimal is always installed16:33
xnoxfish_: but "ubuntu-server" is fairly minimal, I think the most fancy thing it installs is GNU screen =)16:34
ogra_(it is what a default debootstrap gives you)16:34
ogra_i think -server pulls in -standard16:34
ogra_(which is "everything that wasnt mimimal enough to fit into -minimal :) )16:34
fish_ogra_: but minimal includes ssh?16:38
ogra_no16:38
ogra_-standard includes openssh-client ... iirc nothing includes the server by default (or there might be a specific server sub-task)16:39
fish_ogra_: ah okay, guess then I'll go with ubuntu-minimal and add: pkgsel/include string openssh-server16:41
xnoxopenssh-server (from openssh) is seeded in:16:43
xnox  edubuntu: dvd16:43
xnox  lubuntu: daily16:43
xnox  mythbuntu: daily-live16:43
xnox  ubuntu-server: daily16:43
xnox  ubuntu-touch: daily-preinstalled16:43
xnoxogra_: fish_ ^16:43
xnoxbah, it's in it's own task: Task: virt-host, cloud-image, openssh-server16:43
ogra_xnox, yeah16:44
ogra_it is seeded but the server installer still wants you to explicitly select it in tasksel16:44
ogra_(there was a discussion about it which resulted in it to become the first option in tasksel but to still stay unchecked by default)16:46
bdmurraycjwatson: did you say you are working on 12.04.4?16:46
fish_hrm, but minimal + select the package should be fine, right?16:46
ogra_yep16:47
fish_hrm.. passwd/user-password-crypted seems not to work, I can't login. it expected MD5/hex, right?16:49
fish_like: echo -n "password" | md5sum16:49
fish_ah okay, looks like it's not16:51
fish_(it's salted md5 in crypt format)16:53
cjwatsonbdmurray: yeah, ish17:17
bdmurraycjwatson: bug 1051935 might be worth adding to the mix (it's been fixed in trusty)17:19
ubot2Launchpad bug 1051935 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) "Fails with SystemError when too many files are open" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105193517:19
cjwatsonbdmurray: chances of me having time to cherry-pick all that myself are fairly slim, but if you want to do it I'd review17:20
bdmurraycjwatson: okay, I'll have a look then17:22
cjwatsonthanks17:24
fish_hrm, aren't the netcfg options used for the actual /etc/network/interfaces configuration?17:34
fish_the installer gets pxe booted, then it's doing dhcp (based on the kernel parameters), then it fetches the preseed where I manually configured the network17:35
fish_but after the installation is finished, /etc/network/interfaces is configured to use dhcp17:35
