[14:37] <v99> hi! im trying to make an unattended ubuntu installation
[14:37] <v99> but i want to install default-jre by default
[14:37] <v99> how can i add this package to the installer?
[14:37] <v99> i google a lot this days
[14:37] <v99> but i cant make a local repo after installing with dpkg-scanpackages
[14:39] <v99> i try something like this
[14:39] <v99> https://askubuntu.com/questions/853632/ubuntu-16-04-apt-get-update-fails-with-local-repository
[14:39] <v99> in the post section
[14:39] <v99> but no way
[15:03] <CarlFK> v99: if you need to add a repo: https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/usb_late/scripts/d-i/stretch/preseed.cfg#L293-L294
[15:03] <CarlFK> if the package is in the standard repo https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/usb_late/scripts/d-i/stretch/preseed.cfg#L314
[15:19] <v99> but i need to add the deb to the usb
[15:19] <v99> i havent internet access
[15:28] <CarlFK> oh, no idea
[15:28] <v99> dont worry i will install with dpkg
[15:29] <v99> all the dependencies
[15:30] <CarlFK> look into gdebi
[15:30] <CarlFK> Usage: gdebi [options] filename
[15:31] <CarlFK> it will install deps
[15:31] <v99> i use ubuntu server and i havent gdebi
[15:32] <CarlFK> install it ;)
[15:39] <cjwatson> With 16.04 you don't need gdebi - "apt install /path/to/local.deb"
[15:39] <cjwatson> FWIW
[15:40] <CarlFK> oh neat
[15:41] <v99> really?
[15:42] <xnox> v99, also "apt build-dep ./" works from unpacked source package, and one does not need deb-src lines for it to work.
[15:43] <cjwatson> Don't drown people in detail they don't need :)
[15:43] <xnox> ;-)
[15:44] <v99> uoooooo cjwatson really works
[15:44] <v99> thanks everyones
[15:44] <v99> i will spend one week to do this
[15:44] <v99> im a newbie
[15:58] <CarlFK> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/armhf/apbs02.html#preseed-bootparms
[15:58] <CarlFK> that doesn't say what happens if you pass a param that is also in the preseed file
[15:59] <CarlFK> anyone know, and is there somewhere I can log an issue about that?
[16:03] <CarlFK> it seems the file overrides boot, but I haven't really done a good test
[16:04] <CarlFK> and really I would love to have boot override file, so if someone can make a syntax like foo/bar?=value  "don't ask, use my value!!!"
[16:10] <cjwatson> Having boot parameters override parameters read from a preseed file isn't possible, because boot parameters have to be read first (they're processed considerably earlier).
[16:11] <cjwatson> Probably best to use preseed/early_command to do conditional things.
[16:11] <cjwatson> If you wanted to file a bug about making that more convenient, the correct place would be the "preseed" package in Debian.
[16:12] <CarlFK> cjwatson: I was first thinking the docs should say "file overrides boot"
[16:12] <cjwatson> (Though I'm not sure how; it would need to be an extension to the preseed file syntax to not set a value if it's already set.)
[16:13] <CarlFK> I am using my dhcp server conf files to manage per-host settings, like "this box needs to install to sdb"
[16:14] <cjwatson> Bugs in the manual would be on the "installation-guide" package in Debian.
[16:14] <CarlFK> installation-guide - thanks
[16:15] <cjwatson> Though you should check whether the most recent Debian version of the manual has the same issue, first.
[16:15] <CarlFK> right now I  remove the line from preseed file, make it a default in dhcp conf, and then over ride for the odd box
[18:37] <CarlFK> cjwatson: is there a web ui for reporting bugs?  or how do I use reportbug from my ubuntu box?
[18:37] <CarlFK> or really, how do I report a bug :p
[18:38] <CarlFK> I got to here and ... am lost: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=installation-guide
[20:54] <cjwatson> CarlFK: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
[20:55] <cjwatson> there is no web UI, use email
