| xnox | cyphermox, cjwatson - a customer is experiencing netisntaller delays. when installing against a local mirror. | 17:28 |
|---|---|---|
| cyphermox | ok? | 17:28 |
| xnox | it would seem to be network related (e.g. failing to connect to e.g. security.ubuntu.com) | 17:28 |
| xnox | is there a good way to prevent installer talking to anything but local mirror? | 17:29 |
| xnox | looks like they are timing out on ipv4, then ipv6. connecting to ubuntu.com which is blocked for them (hence installing off local mirror copy) | 17:29 |
| cjwatson | there are apt-setup preseedables for that | 17:29 |
| cyphermox | yeah, looking up the actual keys right now | 17:30 |
| cjwatson | no overarching thing but I believe you can turn off each individual case and there aren't too many | 17:30 |
| * xnox pull apt-setup sources | 17:30 | |
| cjwatson | apt-setup/security_host or some such | 17:30 |
| cyphermox | well, you'd need to mirror all of security then too, or point it back to the mirror and expect it to just find no updated sources? | 17:31 |
| cyphermox | I was thinking apt-setup/services-select-ubuntu | 17:31 |
| cyphermox | it's a multiselect where I suppose you could just select nothing | 17:31 |
| cyphermox | oh, maybe I'm not looking at the right thing | 17:32 |
| cjwatson | or that | 17:33 |
| cyphermox | nah | 17:33 |
| cyphermox | it won't work for in the installer, just on the final system | 17:33 |
| cyphermox | net-retriever won't care | 17:34 |
| xnox | right. i think for them, they really want to install off a local mirror and have the installed system point to said local mirror too. | 17:34 |
| cyphermox | you'd need to set apt-set/security_host=local_mirror | 17:35 |
| xnox | right. let me try that locally. and e.g. point the install at e.g. ftpmaster.internal or some such, and make sure that none of the *.ubuntu.com things are hit. | 17:36 |
| cyphermox | xnox: to make it pretty I suppose you'd want to do both things, set security_host for within the installer, but also the services-select key to avoid apt-setup writing a long sources.list that references the same mirror multiple times | 17:36 |
| xnox | then logs should be fast, and i will iterate with the customer, if that helps in their setup. | 17:36 |
| cyphermox | ok | 17:36 |
| xnox | cyphermox, i don't think i've ever used services-select key. | 17:36 |
| xnox | how would that look? at the moment indeed really ugly sources.list ends up being generated. | 17:37 |
| cyphermox | xnox: me neither, but it's there and I recall from the merge that it's used to pick whether you want partner, security, etc. | 17:37 |
| cyphermox | d-i apt-setup/services-select-ubuntu none | 17:43 |
| xnox | right cause i can just have deb http://foo/ xenial xenial-updates xenial-security | 17:52 |
| xnox | and that's it. | 17:52 |
| xnox | ok. | 17:52 |
| xnox | let me try stuff. | 17:52 |
