| lloz | Anyone know if Ubiquity is supposed to work with preseed/include and friends? I can't find any examples of people using it online and the seed seems to be ignored when used to preseed a Xubuntu 14.04 install. | 20:54 |
|---|---|---|
| cyphermox | lloz: yes | 21:00 |
| cyphermox | there is a specific syntax to follow for some keys though | 21:00 |
| cyphermox | here's an annotated example: http://people.canonical.com/~mtrudel/preseed/full.cfg | 21:01 |
| lloz | Thank you, looking at it now | 21:01 |
| lloz | Hm, I don't see any preseed/include usage there | 21:03 |
| lloz | By preseed/include I mean including other preseed files from a first one as in the section "Chainloading preconfiguration files": https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs05.html.en | 21:08 |
| cyphermox | yes | 21:08 |
| cyphermox | hrm | 21:09 |
| cyphermox | I suppose it *should* work. did you try it with debian-installer at all? | 21:09 |
| lloz | Hm, I'll try to come up with a minimal non-working example. I'm using this as a part of a Packer/Vagrant/Virtualbox build-line... | 21:09 |
| cjwatson | I don't think we ever added preseed/include support to casper, which is where it would have to go. | 21:10 |
| lloz | The analagous config with Ubuntu 14.04 server iso (no casper, no ubiquity, only d-i) works perfectly | 21:10 |
| cjwatson | casper basically reimplements the read-and-apply bits of preseed. | 21:10 |
| lloz | Hm, yeah I looked in casper-set-selections a bit | 21:10 |
| lloz | Hm, well as long as there wasn't some documentation I was missing, I'll just flatten my preseeds for the ubiquity installs | 21:11 |
| cyphermox | cjwatson: you're too fast! | 21:11 |
| * cyphermox was still looking at preseed and retrieving casper :) | 21:12 | |
| lloz | Thank you :-) | 21:12 |
| cyphermox | cjwatson: thanks! | 21:12 |
| lloz | I promised to provide a minimal(-ish) example: here it is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13496264/ | 22:12 |
| lloz | It still uses packer, but just because I'm lazy and prefer for packer to setup the env, host the preseeds and put in the boot-line for me... | 22:12 |
| lloz | (My answer was questioned, but for posterity and such..) | 22:13 |
| lloz | (My question was answered*) | 22:13 |
