fidencio | cyphermox: hey/ping | 17:01 |
---|---|---|
fidencio | cyphermox: tried here to perform an express installation on a livecd and, as recommended by you, passing "only-ubiquity automatic-ubiquity" to the command line | 17:03 |
fidencio | it boots, but doesn't start the installer | 17:04 |
fidencio | oh, it stopped and seems that I'm on ash. I can see (initramfs) | 17:05 |
fidencio | the same preseed file that I'm using works properly for a server ISO | 17:05 |
cyphermox | that shouldn't happen. even if the command-line is wrong you'd still get a live session or ubiquity on a desktop image, not just failing and dropping to the initramfs | 17:08 |
cyphermox | any errors show up? | 17:08 |
fidencio | nops, any obvious error. | 17:10 |
fidencio | I'm trying with 15.10 live iso | 17:11 |
fidencio | I know, maybe would be better to try with 16.04, but then it means adding support on something else on libosinf that I've been postponing :-) | 17:11 |
cyphermox | it shouldn't be a big difference | 17:14 |
cyphermox | clearly something is happening, but I don't know what. Maybe try removing only-ubiquity, and run ubiquity --automatic from the live session to see if at least that runs correctly? | 17:15 |
fidencio | okay, let me give it a try | 17:18 |
fidencio | cyphermox: yeah, uniquity --automatic works fine from a live session | 17:31 |
fidencio | cyphermox: maybe a stupid question, does ubiquity understands debian-installer commands? | 17:32 |
cyphermox | fidencio: ok, then does booting with just only-ubiquity work? that should get you the non-automatic, non-live (installer-only) session | 17:32 |
cyphermox | fidencio: for the most part, yes, with some additions, and some features from d-i that we just don't expose (but you can still preseed) | 17:33 |
cyphermox | that wouldn't get the installer to not start, though | 17:33 |
fidencio | cyphermox: hmm. stops at busybox again | 17:37 |
fidencio | cyphermox: any idea on how to check for some issue there? | 17:37 |
cyphermox | I'm not sure, you should definitely see some error messages | 17:39 |
cyphermox | maybe boot with verbose in case they're just hidden because of plymouth? | 17:40 |
cyphermox | in any case, this means the issue isn't the preseed, but the environment itself | 17:40 |
cyphermox | if you're netbooting; the paths for files tends to be different. It wouldn't cause it to work for live and not work for only-ubiquity though | 17:41 |
fidencio | cyphermox: I'm not netbooting. | 17:43 |
cyphermox | oh, I thought you were | 17:43 |
fidencio | would it make any difference? | 17:48 |
cyphermox | well, only if you did the paths wrong on tftp | 17:52 |
cyphermox | fidencio: so, perhaps it's time to consider trying your preseeding with a 16.04 image? | 17:53 |
fidencio | cyphermox: yeap, let me go for it. if it doesn't work I'll take as "preseed only server ISOs" | 17:54 |
cyphermox | well, like I said, preseeding desktop installs is supposed to work too | 17:58 |
