| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1308885 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "Unable to restart into and complete an Ubiquity Upgrade" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1308885 | 10:08 |
| Peanut | I have a bug that I keep running into when doing preseeding, even in 14.04: If you make a mistake, you end up with 'No root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu'. And then a button 'Continue', that goes back to the same error page, so I'm stuck. | 10:28 |
| Peanut | Is it worth filing a bug about this? Should I do this in Ubuntu or upstream in Debian installer? | 10:29 |
| Teduardo | Howdy, does anyone know how you can change permitrootlogin from without-password to yes in kickstart in 14.04? | 11:22 |
| Teduardo | does the sed in the installer not support -i anymore? | 14:19 |
| Teduardo | i.e. preseed preseed/late_command string in-target sed -i 's/^PermitRootLogin without-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 14:20 |
| infinity | Teduardo: That's in-target, so it would be the installed sed, which absolutely supports -i | 14:22 |
| infinity | But you may have quoting issues or something? I dunno. I don't do preseedy things. | 14:22 |
| CarlFK | Teduardo: sudo less /var/log/installer/syslog ... I see Apr 17 16:21:35 preseed: running preseed command preseed/late_command: cd /target/tmp && wget http://$url/lc/late.sh ... | 14:27 |
| CarlFK | and the output of it, so maybe you can see if sed is erroring | 14:28 |
| CarlFK | hmm, if it is erroring, it will raise an error .. but I would still start by looking at the log | 14:29 |
| devicenull | Did something change in the trusty installer that doesn't allow root login via password anymore? | 14:35 |
| devicenull | I'm using the same preseed as I've been using with everything from 12.04 up to now, but I'm getting 'PermitRootLogin without-password' in my ssh config | 14:36 |
| Teduardo | hehehe i was just working correcting that mistake lol | 14:37 |
| mdeslaur | devicenull: it's not the installer, it's the new openssh default config in trusty | 14:37 |
| devicenull | ah | 14:37 |
| Teduardo | its unfortunate that they didn't add a ssh configuration line to kickstart so that you could control that | 14:39 |
| mdeslaur | well,you can preseed openssh-server/permit-root-login, can't you? | 14:40 |
| devicenull | heh, I hit the length limit in preseed/late_command | 14:40 |
| ice9 | why installer doesn't support efi by default? | 14:41 |
| ice9 | only grub-pc is installed and not grub-efi | 14:42 |
| xnox | ice9: it does. | 14:42 |
| xnox | ice9: see amd64 images (64-bit) | 14:42 |
| Peanut | mdeslaur: oh, that's a much nicer solution, I'll try that next. (Happen to have run into the same issue today). | 14:42 |
| xnox | ice9: in fact all releases since 12.04.2 do (12.10, 13.04, 13.10, 14.04) | 14:42 |
| ice9 | xnox: even if /boot on usb drive not the sda? | 14:43 |
| xnox | ice9: yes. | 14:43 |
| xnox | ice9: but may not be well tested when /boot and EFI system partition are on different drives. | 14:43 |
| Teduardo | mdeslaur: what is the command for that in a kickstart file? | 14:44 |
| ice9 | xnox: that's good but I hope that the installer supports manual partitioning for lvm and crypt | 14:44 |
| xnox | ice9: it does. | 14:44 |
| ice9 | xnox: no | 14:44 |
| mdeslaur | Teduardo: sorry, I don't know...I'm not sure how kickstart support works | 14:44 |
| ice9 | xnox: I have to mount the HD manually to partition it and encrypt it | 14:44 |
| ice9 | before starting the installer | 14:45 |
| ice9 | then the disk manager in the installer will see my changes | 14:45 |
| xnox | ice9: can you please use the installer first, and read the installer guide. Or specify which image you are using, and what you are trying to achieve. | 14:45 |
| devicenull | Teduardo: in a preseed, I think it would be 'd-i openssh-server/permit-root-login boolean true' | 14:45 |
| devicenull | I forget the command that lets you set preseed configs in a kickstart... | 14:45 |
| Teduardo | but it's not a boolean anymore, there are 4 or 5 options | 14:45 |
| xnox | ice9: ubuntu server, netinstaller, mini.iso all offer support for mount encrypted volumes and operate on lvm/crypt devices as you wish. | 14:45 |
| devicenull | oh, it's not? | 14:45 |
| Teduardo | there is yes, no without-password, etc | 14:46 |
| ice9 | xnox: Im talking about Ubuntu Desktop | 14:46 |
| xnox | ice9: desktop installer, can do "full disk lvm and/or full disk encryption" but no support for further tweaking beyond that. | 14:46 |
| ice9 | xnox: yeah that's what I mean if it can support manual tweaking | 14:46 |
| CarlFK | devicenull: my late_command is a script: https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/oneiric/preseed_carl.cfg#L104 | 14:47 |
| xnox | ice9: not implemented yet. You can use mini.iso / server image instead. And to opt for a desktop, simply select "ubuntu-desktop" task for installation. | 14:47 |
| devicenull | CarlFK: yea, I just had to convert to that | 14:47 |
| Teduardo | devicenull: did you figure out a way to avoid creating a user account? | 14:48 |
| devicenull | d-i passwd/make-user boolean false | 14:48 |
| devicenull | unless that changed too, I havent checked | 14:48 |
| devicenull | I quickly gave up on using kickstarts, it seems they're more trouble then they are worth | 14:49 |
| Teduardo | it would be fine if it was either documented or new settings, etc were added to it | 14:50 |
| Teduardo | its somewhat nice to be able to use a similar style config for both centos and ubuntu | 14:50 |
| Teduardo | if you've pxe installed suse in the past you know that autoyast is a disaster | 14:51 |
| Teduardo | so at least Kickstart in ubuntu works | 14:51 |
| devicenull | I think I looked into suse once, and it seemed to require BOOTP rather then DHCP, so I just gave up | 14:52 |
| Teduardo | yeah if we need a suse install for someone we just attach a kvm and let them install it via cd | 14:52 |
| Teduardo | luckily nobody seems to use it | 14:55 |
| devicenull | I dont think I've ever seen a request for it | 14:55 |
| Teduardo | were you able to figure out how to get the PermitRootLogin to be yes by using the openssh/permit-root-login? | 15:27 |
| Teduardo | i've tried several different commands in the kickstart and so far not much happening | 15:27 |
| devicenull | I just fix the config with sed | 15:27 |
| devicenull | easier then fighting with the 'proper' way of doing it, and there's not really any downside | 15:27 |
| Teduardo | ahh, whats your sed command? I tried preseed preseed/late command in target sed -i ... and it didn't work | 15:28 |
| devicenull | sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin without-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /target/etc/ssh/sshd_config; | 15:28 |
| Teduardo | so preseed preseed/late_command string in-target sed -i 's/^PermitRootLogin without-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 15:28 |
| devicenull | assuming in-target does what I expect, yea | 15:29 |
| Teduardo | damn, that command didn't work for me. wonder what i'm doing wrong | 15:29 |
| zooko | I can report mostly-success with 14.04! Thanks! | 19:52 |
| zooko | Can you advise me on how to install my grub, kernel, initrd, and whatever other stuff that I don't understand into /dev/sda1, or into some mysterious space on the disk that exists outside of any partition, instead of what it is | 19:53 |
| zooko | currently doing, which is installing into the thing that has the / fs mounted on it, which is /dev/sda5? | 19:53 |
| zooko | My boot manager (refind) can't boot things from /dev/sda5, probably because it is a btrfs filesystem. | 19:53 |
| zooko | This is on a Macbook Pro 5,3 | 19:53 |
| zooko | Hm, I just downloaded the final version -- lubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso, | 21:49 |
| zooko | and dd'ed it onto a USB stick, but when I boot my Macbook Pro (5,3) with that USB stick in, it doesn't boot. | 21:49 |
| zooko | Do I need to flip a "bootable" flag on my USB stick or something? | 21:49 |
| zooko | Hrm... I wonder if this is relevant. During the dd I got a lot of /var/log/syslog msgs saying | 21:52 |
| zooko | timeout '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb' | 21:52 |
| zooko | timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb' | 21:52 |
| zooko | I wonder if that means the dd didn't work. | 21:52 |
| xnox | zooko: with newer macs, i found that "amd64" image works best. | 21:54 |
| xnox | zooko: also i'm not sure if lubuntu is EFI enabled. | 21:54 |
| zooko | xnox: thanks. So I wonder why the download page recommends the "mac" version. | 21:54 |
| zooko | And I looked for, but didn't find an explanation of what the Mac version is exactly. | 21:54 |
| zooko | This page: http://lubuntu.net/ | 21:55 |
| zooko | And this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu | 21:55 |
| xnox | zooko: EFI partitions are always FAT, grub can and does know how to boot kernel off btrfs. | 21:55 |
| xnox | zooko: so that should just work, but will test. | 21:55 |
| xnox | zooko: well, that is incorrect. but i don't manage those websites. | 21:55 |
| xnox | zooko: at the moment we believe that "mac" image is best for CDs, however regular one is best if you burn USB disk. | 21:56 |
| xnox | (well, dd) | 21:56 |
| zooko | xnox: thanks. | 21:57 |
| zooko | xnox: but, the problem I'm having is that the refind boot manager comes up instead of the USB stick installer image coming up, when I boot. | 21:58 |
| zooko | Could this be due to the +mac image being worse for this machine than the normal amd64 image? | 21:58 |
| zooko | Or could it be that blkid timeout killed stuff in my syslog telling me that my dd is not working? | 21:58 |
| cjwatson | Teduardo,devicenull: it *is* a boolean as far as that preseed entry is concerned. "preseed openssh-server/permit-root-login boolean true" would be the form to use in a Kickstart file. | 22:23 |
| cjwatson | Wait, sorry, that's backwards, the question name is confusing | 22:24 |
| cjwatson | preseed openssh-server/permit-root-login boolean false | 22:24 |
| cjwatson | I wasn't really thinking of it from the preseeding point of view when I wrote it *shrug* | 22:24 |
