| Guest15643 | can anyone help with preseeding with oem-config? Question 266541 on ubiquity launchpad. | 10:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Guest15643 | I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is recommended | 11:13 |
| Guest15643 | install ubuntu precise server amd64 in oem-mode, install software, run oem-config-prepare, add preseed.cfg to initrd so that keyboard is not prompted user is not prompted and software is installed from hard drive on first boot , reboot, manually add automatic-oem-config and debug-oem-config to command line, preseeding doesn't appear to work | 11:18 |
| Guest15643 | can anyone advise the format required for the preseed.cfg file? I've seen lines starting with oem-config, ubiquity and d-i. I've tried all three and can't get the preseed.cfg to work. | 11:20 |
| XenophonF | hey everyone - i'm trying to reverse engineer the ubuntu installation process because ubiquity doesn't support my desired installation scheme | 16:09 |
| XenophonF | my initial pass at this used debootstrap to install into a chroot environment, mounted the various special file systems, and called "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to complete the install | 16:10 |
| XenophonF | however there are a few bugs in the resulting installation, so I'd like to get a clearer picture of what the official installer does behind the scenes | 16:10 |
| XenophonF | is this the right place to ask questions? | 16:11 |
| XenophonF | ah never mind - i'm going to install ubuntu desktop to usb flash drive instead, and then copy that to my encrypted zfs pool | 16:32 |
