[17:28] cyphermox, cjwatson - a customer is experiencing netisntaller delays. when installing against a local mirror. [17:28] ok? [17:28] it would seem to be network related (e.g. failing to connect to e.g. security.ubuntu.com) [17:29] is there a good way to prevent installer talking to anything but local mirror? [17:29] 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] there are apt-setup preseedables for that [17:30] yeah, looking up the actual keys right now [17:30] 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] apt-setup/security_host or some such [17:31] 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] I was thinking apt-setup/services-select-ubuntu [17:31] it's a multiselect where I suppose you could just select nothing [17:32] oh, maybe I'm not looking at the right thing [17:33] or that [17:33] nah [17:33] it won't work for in the installer, just on the final system [17:34] net-retriever won't care [17:34] 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. [17:35] you'd need to set apt-set/security_host=local_mirror [17:36] 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] 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] then logs should be fast, and i will iterate with the customer, if that helps in their setup. [17:36] ok [17:36] cyphermox, i don't think i've ever used services-select key. [17:37] how would that look? at the moment indeed really ugly sources.list ends up being generated. [17:37] 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. [17:43] d-i apt-setup/services-select-ubuntu none [17:52] right cause i can just have deb http://foo/ xenial xenial-updates xenial-security [17:52] and that's it. [17:52] ok. [17:52] let me try stuff.
