[07:59] <Hariharan> CarlFK: xnox : The installer issue which I was talking other day for parallel installation of 17.04 and 16.04 from different folder location instead of ubuntu-installer (default) folder. Is resolved with the help of grub2-mknetdir command. It will rebuild the core.elf with new directory structure what we menion
[07:59] <Hariharan> mention
[08:00] <Hariharan> CarlFK: xnox : Once again thanks for  your time. :)
[08:04] <xnox> Hariharan, ack. Thank you for the follow up. I shall remember that for the future.
[08:04] <Hariharan> xnox: sure and welcome
[13:18] <CarlFK> Hariharan: yay!
[13:19] <Hariharan> CarlFK: ;)
[13:21] <CarlFK> I got my dhcp ... preseed problem solved too.  dnsmasq conf line: dhcp-option-force=tag:gator,209,"partman-auto/disk=/dev/nvme0n1 tasks=ubuntu-desktop"
[13:21] <CarlFK> grub-net lines:
[13:21] <CarlFK> net_get_dhcp_option appends ${net_default_interface} 209 string
[13:22] <CarlFK> send that string as option 209, retrieve the string from option 209
[13:22] <CarlFK> linux /ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux gfxpayload=800x600x16,800x600 --- auto=true url=dc10b DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 tasks="" hostname= interface=${net_default_mac} ${appends}
[13:22] <CarlFK> add it to the kernel line.  di will look for it there.
[13:23] <CarlFK> gator is the host name and managed by dnsmasq: dhcp-host=40:8d:5c:7f:bb:90,set:gator,gator
[13:24] <CarlFK> so each mac can have it's own preseed tweeks.
[14:32] <CarlFK> installer shell - why does this work: ~ # chroot /target /bin/bash
[14:33] <cyphermox> it should
[14:33] <CarlFK> but this eats all the stdio?  when I type, I see chars, like "ls\n" but I see no output.    "exit\n" returns me to the busybox shell.  ~ # in-target /bin/bash
[14:34] <cyphermox> oh
[14:37] <cyphermox> yeah, because in-target does some fun redirections; you don't want to use it that way
[14:37] <cyphermox> ie. if you need an interactive shell, use chroot /target /bin/bash
[14:38] <cyphermox> if you need to run a script, then you can certainly use in-target /bin/bash -c script
[15:26] <CarlFK> cyphermox: thanks - wanted to make sure that was expected/desired
[22:32] <CarlFK> preseed install - when the installed os boots, I want to see the grub menu, and i want to see the syslog message or whatever is suppressed by quiet
[22:32] <CarlFK> I can't figure out the preseed's -  something like https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/xenial/preseed_video.cfg#L96-L99
