[00:00] install.sh [00:00] oh, it's the server [00:00] lol [00:00] right. [00:01] I'm not sure how that would help when I already have a working pxe booter? [00:01] it's just the preseeding, and the boot commands [00:02] (btw THank you for helping me!) [00:02] that sets up the presseding and whatever [00:03] what you will want to tune: [00:03] https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default#L56 [00:03] 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] partman-auto/disk="/dev/sdb" what disk to install/boot from [00:03] url=g2a (hmm, that's my new server. what happened to $SHAZ... ) anyway, that needs to point back to where your pxe files are [00:04] https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/tree/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/xenial [00:04] review and adjust those to your likeing [00:05] may be those are all you need to get your system working [00:06] Thanks, I'll test them out. [00:17] your append doesn't point to the seed? [00:20] omg things are happening [00:20] =D [00:22] Carl [00:22] ? [00:22] CarlFK: Is url= to your preseed file? [00:23] sort of [00:23] url= points to the server. d-i/xenial/preseed.cfg is the default [00:24] ok, will nfs work to serve it? [00:25] I have heard of that. [00:34] 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? [00:35] my dhcp server constructs a hostname based on the IP addresses [00:36] so 192.168.1.123 gets hostname dhcp123 [00:36] ok, thanks [00:36] or you can assign hostames to mac here https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/etc/dhcp/dhcpd-macs.conf [01:53] AgeOfAsparagus_: working ok? I am getting ready to go off for a while [01:54] I can't get the seed file to load.... tried tftp, now gonna try nfs [01:55] I was trying "url=tftp://host/path/to/preseed.cfg" [01:55] but don't know how to point it properly [01:55] tftp is working, because I could get the seed file from another computer on the network [01:56] do I need a url in there? port? [02:03] why not use http? [02:03] as in, use a web server to serve up the file [02:14] 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] plus it's another thing I don't know how to do...*duck* [02:26] Dang, that was way easier. And it worked! Bad archive mirror! WOOHOO! (means I got passed loading the seed =) [02:40] yup [02:40] if you are using my presseed file, it hists a local squid caching proxy [02:42] 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 [16:43] good morning, anyone here that can have a look at a d-i installer rebuild bug in yaketty?
