| AgeOfAsparagus | install.sh | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| AgeOfAsparagus | oh, it's the server | 00:00 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | lol | 00:00 |
| CarlFK | right. | 00:00 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | I'm not sure how that would help when I already have a working pxe booter? | 00:01 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | it's just the preseeding, and the boot commands | 00:01 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | (btw THank you for helping me!) | 00:02 |
| CarlFK | that sets up the presseding and whatever | 00:02 |
| CarlFK | what you will want to tune: | 00:03 |
| CarlFK | https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default#L56 | 00:03 |
| 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=6 | 00:03 |
| CarlFK | partman-auto/disk="/dev/sdb" what disk to install/boot from | 00:03 |
| CarlFK | url=g2a (hmm, that's my new server. what happened to $SHAZ... ) anyway, that needs to point back to where your pxe files are | 00:03 |
| CarlFK | https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/tree/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/xenial | 00:04 |
| CarlFK | review and adjust those to your likeing | 00:04 |
| CarlFK | may be those are all you need to get your system working | 00:05 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | Thanks, I'll test them out. | 00:06 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | your append doesn't point to the seed? | 00:17 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | omg things are happening | 00:20 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | =D | 00:20 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | Carl | 00:22 |
| CarlFK | ? | 00:22 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | CarlFK: Is url= to your preseed file? | 00:22 |
| CarlFK | sort of | 00:23 |
| CarlFK | url= points to the server. d-i/xenial/preseed.cfg is the default | 00:23 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | ok, will nfs work to serve it? | 00:24 |
| CarlFK | I have heard of that. | 00:25 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | When 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 |
| CarlFK | my dhcp server constructs a hostname based on the IP addresses | 00:35 |
| CarlFK | so 192.168.1.123 gets hostname dhcp123 | 00:36 |
| AgeOfAsparagus | ok, thanks | 00:36 |
| CarlFK | or you can assign hostames to mac here https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/etc/dhcp/dhcpd-macs.conf | 00:36 |
| CarlFK | AgeOfAsparagus_: working ok? I am getting ready to go off for a while | 01:53 |
| AgeOfAsparagus_ | I can't get the seed file to load.... tried tftp, now gonna try nfs | 01:54 |
| AgeOfAsparagus_ | I was trying "url=tftp://host/path/to/preseed.cfg" | 01:55 |
| AgeOfAsparagus_ | but don't know how to point it properly | 01:55 |
| AgeOfAsparagus_ | tftp is working, because I could get the seed file from another computer on the network | 01:55 |
| AgeOfAsparagus_ | do I need a url in there? port? | 01:56 |
| CarlFK | why not use http? | 02:03 |
| CarlFK | as in, use a web server to serve up the file | 02:03 |
| AgeOfAsparagus_ | Because I don't have one running yet and was hoping to just use the tftp since it's already there for netboot | 02:14 |
| 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 |
| CarlFK | yup | 02:40 |
| CarlFK | if you are using my presseed file, it hists a local squid caching proxy | 02:40 |
| CarlFK | not 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 why | 02:42 |
| Guest81836 | good morning, anyone here that can have a look at a d-i installer rebuild bug in yaketty? | 16:43 |
