AgeOfAsparagusinstall.sh00:00
AgeOfAsparagusoh, it's the server00:00
AgeOfAsparaguslol00:00
CarlFKright.00:00
AgeOfAsparagusI'm not sure how that would help when I already have a working pxe booter?00:01
AgeOfAsparagusit's just the preseeding, and the boot commands00:01
AgeOfAsparagus(btw THank you for helping me!)00:02
CarlFKthat sets up the presseding and whatever00:02
CarlFKwhat you will want to tune:00:03
CarlFKhttps://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default#L5600:03
CarlFK        append initrd=ubuntu/xenial/amd64/initrd.gz root=/dev/rd/0 rw  auto=true netcfg/wireless_wep= interface=auto hostname=  netcfg/dhcpv6_timeout=5 DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 url=g2a tasks="ubuntu-desktop"  partman-auto/disk="/dev/sdb" -- vga=600:03
CarlFKpartman-auto/disk="/dev/sdb"  what disk to install/boot from00:03
CarlFK url=g2a (hmm, that's my new server.  what happened to $SHAZ... )  anyway, that needs to point back to where your pxe files are00:03
CarlFKhttps://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/tree/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/xenial00:04
CarlFKreview and adjust those to your likeing00:04
CarlFKmay be those are all you need to get your system working00:05
AgeOfAsparagusThanks, I'll test them out.00:06
AgeOfAsparagusyour append doesn't point to the seed?00:17
AgeOfAsparagusomg things are happening00:20
AgeOfAsparagus =D00:20
AgeOfAsparagusCarl00:22
CarlFK?00:22
AgeOfAsparagusCarlFK: Is url= to your preseed file?00:22
CarlFKsort of00:23
CarlFKurl= points to the server.  d-i/xenial/preseed.cfg is the default00:23
AgeOfAsparagusok, will nfs work to serve it?00:24
CarlFKI have heard of that.00:25
AgeOfAsparagusWhen you are trying to install a classroom full of computers, how do you prevent them from all having the same hostname given in the boot command?00:34
CarlFKmy dhcp server constructs a hostname based on the IP addresses00:35
CarlFKso 192.168.1.123 gets hostname dhcp12300:36
AgeOfAsparagusok, thanks00:36
CarlFKor you can assign hostames to mac here https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/etc/dhcp/dhcpd-macs.conf00:36
CarlFKAgeOfAsparagus_: working ok?  I am getting ready to go off for a while01:53
AgeOfAsparagus_I can't get the seed file to load.... tried tftp, now gonna try nfs01:54
AgeOfAsparagus_I was trying "url=tftp://host/path/to/preseed.cfg"01:55
AgeOfAsparagus_but don't know how to point it properly01:55
AgeOfAsparagus_tftp is working, because I could get the seed file from another computer on the network01:55
AgeOfAsparagus_do I need a url in there? port?01:56
CarlFKwhy not use http?02:03
CarlFKas in, use a web server to serve up the file02:03
AgeOfAsparagus_Because I don't have one running yet and was hoping to just use the tftp since it's already there for netboot02:14
AgeOfAsparagus_plus it's another thing I don't know how to do...*duck*02:14
AgeOfAsparagus_Dang, that was way easier.  And it worked!  Bad archive mirror! WOOHOO! (means I got passed loading the seed =)02:26
CarlFKyup02:40
CarlFKif you are using my presseed file, it hists a local squid caching proxy02:40
CarlFKnot sure that will help, it does add something that doesn't work now and then, like if you add a repository for some weird app and it isn't in the white list.. 404 and you aren't sure why02:42
Guest81836good morning, anyone here that can have a look at a d-i installer rebuild bug in yaketty?16:43
