[15:28] <cumorris> Does anyone know of a way I can unmount /dev/sda1 in a preseed file? I have tried several commands to unmount it but it keeps telling me that /dev/sda1 is mounted so it cannot make a filesystem here.
[15:28] <cumorris> I have tried: d-i partman/filter_mounted boolean false
[15:28] <cumorris> d-i partman/unmount_active boolean false
[15:29] <cumorris> d-i preseed/early_command string umount /dev/sda1 || /bin/true
[15:29] <cumorris> any ideas? Thanks
[15:29] <cumorris> Note: This is 15.04 Ubuntu and I am doing this in VirtualBox
[15:33] <CarlFK> cumorris: what are you trying to do?    which will help answer "where in the process?"
[15:36] <cumorris> CarlFK: I am trying to make a fully automated install of Ubuntu 15.04 in Virtualbox using a preseed file. I have all parts of the installer preseeded except for a few parts of the partitioning process. When I run the installer it stops about 3/4 of the way through and says that it cannot create a filesystem here. I checked the logs and it told me that /dev/sda1 was mounted therefore it could not continue.
[15:37] <cumorris> CarlFK: Here is the preseed file I have been playing with:

[15:38] <cumorris> Note: I probably have several unneeded lines in the preseed. I have been commenting them out when I make the .iso to test with
[15:42] <cumorris> Here is a screenshot of the log file: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-05262015-114115am.php
[15:43] <cumorris> Here is a screenshot of the installer error: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-05262015-114239am.php
[15:48] <infinity> A screenshot of a tiny chunk of a log is a lot less helpful than the whole of syslog.
[15:51] <cumorris> Agreed. I will see what I can do
[15:54] <CarlFK> cumorris: you can install sshd into the installer so you can ssh into the box from your host os  https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/ec/ssh/isshd.sh
[15:55] <cumorris> CarlFK: Thank you, I will take a look at that
[15:55] <CarlFK> cumorris: why are you doing this: d-i preseed/early_command string umount /dev/sda2 || /bin/true
[15:56] <CarlFK> I doubt it is mounted
[15:57] <cumorris> CarlFK: Someone else had recommended that I try it. I don't believe it is either but I figured I would try it
[15:58] <CarlFK> if all you want is "fully automated install"  you should start with my files, cuz they work :p
[15:59] <CarlFK> although for pxe net booting.  but but I would think they would port to anything.
[16:00] <cumorris> haha :p  I am looking through them now, thanks!
[16:01] <cumorris> Trying to find your preseed file on your github
[16:02] <CarlFK> https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/tree/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/trusty
[16:03] <cumorris> Awesome, thank you, I will test it out and see if I can get it working. Many thanks !
[16:05] <CarlFK> sure thing - feel free to bug me about it.
[16:24] <cumorris> CarlFK: I took the lines from your preseed_disk.cfg file (https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/trusty/preseed_disk.cfg) and added them to my preseed file. When I ran the install I received the following error: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-05262015-122051pm.php . I added  the following lines to the preseed file: d-i partman/filter_mounted boolean false ,d-i partman/unmount_active boolean f
[16:24] <cumorris> alse , d-i preseed/preseed/early_command string unmount /dev/sda || /bin/true and I tried again. It failed and gave me this error:     http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-05262015-114239am.php
[16:24] <cumorris> ideas?
[16:24] <cumorris> Thanks
[16:31] <CarlFK> cumorris: ah.. I bet sda is your install media
[16:31] <CarlFK> you know you can Alt-f2 to get to a terminal?
[16:32] <cumorris> CarlFK: Yeah I just learned that earlier.. I am using Virtualbox and mounting my .iso as a cdrom and booting to the cdrom to do the install
[16:34] <CarlFK> where is sda or sda1 mounted?
[16:35] <CarlFK> like mount point dir
[16:35] <cumorris> ahh I think I see what you mean. It is mounted at /media
[16:35] <CarlFK> derp.
[16:36] <CarlFK> I don't really know, but I am guessing that is "install media"
[16:36] <CarlFK> and the drive you want to install to is sdb
[16:37] <cumorris> I have a feeling that you are right, thanks
