| pmatulis | d-i late_command string in-target echo "10.230.4.32 preseed.example.com" >> /etc/hosts | 00:53 |
|---|---|---|
| pmatulis | CarlFK: any idea why this does not work? ↑ | 00:53 |
| CarlFK | pmatulis: looks ok to me. check the install logs that are saved to /var/log/installer/syslog | 00:55 |
| pmatulis | CarlFK: yeah, says 'late_command doesn't exist' | 01:00 |
| CarlFK | pmatulis: what says that? | 01:01 |
| CarlFK | carl@twist:~/Dropbox/Public$ sudo grep late_command /var/log/installer/syslog | 01:01 |
| CarlFK | May 2 18:14:37 debconf: --> GET preseed/late_command | 01:01 |
| CarlFK | I may have more in there than you because I boot the installer with append initrd=ubuntu/trusty/amd64/initrd.gz root=/dev/rd/0 rw auto=true netcfg/wireless_wep= interface=auto hostname= netcfg/dhcpv6_timeout=5 DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 | 01:04 |
| CarlFK | DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 - try adding that | 01:04 |
| pmatulis | i have debug, sec | 01:04 |
| pmatulis | CarlFK: http://imagebin.ca/v/1MYbTEWZHD1o | 01:07 |
| CarlFK | good start, that is where it is set (i guess when the file is parsed) later in that file should be where it is executed | 01:09 |
| CarlFK | screen shot because it is running in a vm? | 01:10 |
| pmatulis | it's a vm. i could have ssh'd but it was right there so... | 01:10 |
| pmatulis | that screenie shows the only instances of the string '/hosts' | 01:12 |
| CarlFK | late_command ? | 01:13 |
| CarlFK | May 13 22:03:33 debconf: --> GET preseed/late_command | 01:14 |
| CarlFK | May 13 22:03:33 preseed: running preseed command preseed/late_command: cd /target/tmp && wget http://$url/lc/late.sh && chmod u+x late.sh && chroot /target /tmp/late.sh $(debconf-get mirror/suite) $(debconf-get passwd/username) | 01:14 |
| pmatulis | CarlFK: not much there | 01:17 |
| pmatulis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7470744/ | 01:17 |
| CarlFK | d-i preseed/late_command string cd ... | 01:19 |
| CarlFK | I think you are missing "string" ? | 01:19 |
| CarlFK | er, never mind | 01:20 |
| pmatulis | going to bed, be back here tomorrow | 01:21 |
| CarlFK | long shot: ... | 01:21 |
| CarlFK | hold up ;) | 01:21 |
| pmatulis | huh? | 01:22 |
| CarlFK | ya know how this doesn't work: sudo echo foo>>/etc/hosts ? | 01:22 |
| CarlFK | cuz the sudo only sudo's echo foo, but not >>/etc/hosts ? | 01:22 |
| CarlFK | I am wondering if the results of in-target get appended to your installer's /etc/hosts | 01:23 |
| pmatulis | nothing gets appended | 01:23 |
| CarlFK | right | 01:24 |
| CarlFK | mabye. | 01:24 |
| CarlFK | in-target echo "10.230.4.32 preseed.example.com" >> /etc/hosts | 01:25 |
| CarlFK | er, how do you know? | 01:25 |
| CarlFK | it may be in installer's /etc/hosts not /target/etc/hosts | 01:26 |
| CarlFK | or in-target runs the command in a shell that doesn't send it's output anywhere. (kinda making stuff up here.. I don't know what in-target does) | 01:27 |
| pmatulis | hmmm, i think i'm missing 'preseed/' in preseed/late_command | 01:28 |
| CarlFK | oh look :) | 01:29 |
| CarlFK | maybe I should go to bed too. | 01:29 |
| pmatulis | this should work. will see in morning. thanks for helping | 01:30 |
| CarlFK | sleep well | 01:30 |
| cmack2 | How is the ubuntu-server ISO assembled from the various packages that constitute it? Are there build scripts that assemble everything into one ISO file? If so, where are they located? | 09:38 |
| cjwatson | lp:ubuntu-cdimage + lp:~ubuntu-cdimage/debian-cd/ubuntu | 09:39 |
| cjwatson | (well, plus other stuff in configs/devel in lp:ubuntu-cdimage, really) | 09:39 |
| xnox | ... and the server seed itself to define the canonical list of packages that constitue it. | 09:39 |
| cmack2 | Where is the server seed? | 09:41 |
| cjwatson | lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/platform.utopic + lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.utopic | 09:41 |
| cmack2 | I am trying to fix a problem on my machine described by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1298610 in which the installer in ubuntu-14.04-server-amd64.iso cannot connect to the network because my machine only has a Broadcom chipset; I would like to put together an ISO with bcmwl included but I am not sure how. Any suggestions? | 09:57 |
| cjwatson | https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel will probably need some adaptation but is likely to be the simplest place to start. | 10:01 |
| cjwatson | It's much easier to use that approach to build a miniature ISO that grabs almost everything from the network than a full server ISO. | 10:01 |
| cmack2 | Thanks | 10:02 |
| pmatulis | CarlFK: still didn't work | 11:40 |
| pmatulis | anyone know why this would not give me an extra line in the target's /etc/hosts file? | 11:47 |
| pmatulis | d-i preseed/late_command string in-target echo "10.230.4.32 preseed.papamike.ca" >> /etc/hosts | 11:47 |
| pmatulis | the logs don't show any error | 11:47 |
| cjwatson | because you have your scoping wrong - in-target only wraps the echo, not the >> | 11:48 |
| cjwatson | and in-target is totally pointless there anyway :) | 11:48 |
| cjwatson | d-i preseed/late_command string echo "10.230.4.32 preseed.papamike.ca" >> /target/etc/hosts | 11:48 |
| pmatulis | sigh, ok, thanks a lot | 11:49 |
| cjenkin2 | I have a very noob question: I am reading about preseeding because I want to override the defaults of some sections (locale, keyboard layout). | 23:52 |
| cjenkin2 | The guide I am reading says you won't be able to preseed these using any method besides through the initrd, | 23:53 |
| cjenkin2 | however the the target system installs is it installs an initial system on the machine automatically, then sets oem-configure to run again on the next boot. Could you then preseed locale from the install medium (in this case MMC)? | 23:54 |
