| ironpillow | Hi all, I am looking for a resource to learn how to customize ubuntu server ISO. I want to pre-seed it with the applications I need because I will be installing quite a few servers each month. Any advice? thanks! | 00:54 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | you'd probably be better served to configure cloud-init and use the cloud-images if you can -- that'll skip basically all the install time, and just jump right to a usable system | 00:56 |
| ironpillow | sarnold: I am installing on local machines and not cloud server. | 01:17 |
| sarnold | ironpillow: ah, bare metal then? hmm. *maybe* maas can make that more pleasant | 01:18 |
| ironpillow | yeah bare metal. don't know about maas. I will look into it. thanks :) | 01:18 |
| sarnold | (the truth is not many people do much with the isos; cloud images and cloud-init is way easier and better documented.. debian preseeds are vastly underdocumented :( ) | 01:20 |
| bryce | ironpillow, might look at https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-iso-with-cubic/ ? | 01:23 |
| ironpillow | sarnold: yeah, it's hard to find how to pre-seed | 01:30 |
| ironpillow | bryce: from what I gather, cubic is for ubuntu with gui not ubuntu server. | 01:31 |
| marcoceppi | Looking to get some help with TFTP / Preseed for Ubuntu 18.04. I've sync'd down this entire directory: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ and setup tftpd to read it as it's root. I can netboot into an installer but whenever I try to specify a preseed as either tftp or http and made some progress with this preseed file and this boot-screens/txt.cfg: preseed (http://paste. | 01:39 |
| marcoceppi | ubuntu.com/p/HXsMDWWQzX/) boot-screens/txt.cfg (http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rjqDV4Gbd7/) | 01:39 |
| marcoceppi | Is there a better example for this other than https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/apbs02.html? I've used that example preseed with my own values and the directions covered within | 01:39 |

| weedmic | help - is there a way for me to see when the current installation was done of a programe? and what it was before it was upgraded? found nothing in man:apt. perhaps an update log? | 10:14 |
| weedmic | nvm found /var/log/apt/history | 10:22 |
| weedmic | can having only 4gb free on / - affect cpu usage percent? | 10:50 |
| weedmic | I think not - as swap is not on / so nvm | 11:06 |
| marcoceppi | Looking to get some help with TFTP / Preseed for Ubuntu 18.04. I've sync'd down this entire directory: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ and setup tftpd to read it as it's root. I can netboot into an installer and do the normal setup but whenever I try to specify a preseed as either tftp or http I get a different root menu that makes it seem like the preseed loaded but its | 12:30 |
| marcoceppi | still not fully automatic Here are my preseed file and this boot-screens/txt.cfg: preseed (http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HXsMDWWQzX/) boot-screens/txt.cfg (http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rjqDV4Gbd7/). Is there a better example for this other than https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/apbs02.html? I've used that example preseed with my own values and the directions covered within | 12:30 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, when you say it's not automatic, what's the first question you get? | 13:44 |
| weedmic | Is there a way I can limit the amount of cpu % docker can use/access/occupy? For example, set a max usage to 40%? If yes, how? | 14:14 |
| stripe | hi all, 18.04 trying to connect lxd/lxc containers to my lan instead of a subnet, none of the documentation will work, I can assign ip's from my dhcp server but then dont get any network access, anyone know of some docs that could help? cheers :0 | 14:18 |
| stripe | ^:) | 14:19 |
| TJ- | with an ifupdown install, does anyone know of a way to restart a remote system's network config without bringing down the interface or interrupting service on existing IP addresses, when new IP addresses have been added in 'interfaces' file? | 14:28 |
| rbasak | TJ-: I believe that anything you do is a hack because ifupdown doesn't natively support that. So you might as well bring up the new IP addresses by hand. | 14:43 |
| rbasak | Of course that means you never get to test the new interfaces file. | 14:44 |
| marcoceppi | lordcirth_: let me run it again, but it's a pretty long menu | 14:58 |
| TJ- | rbasak: I thought as much... Just added a lot of IPv6 addresses, time to write a manual script to do it for me | 15:01 |
| marcoceppi | lordcirth_: so I get the screen with Installer Boot Menu (which is fine, I haven't tweaked the timeout for that yet) once initrd.gz loads it places me at a screen with "Ubuntu installer main menu" where the first few options are "Access software for a blind person using a braille display", "Detect network hardware", "Configure the network", "Download debconf preconfigured file", ... | 15:04 |
| marcoceppi | Ideally, this is where the preseed would have taken place to avoid having to run through these steps on screen | 15:05 |
| marcoceppi | lordcirth_: both bionic and xenial give me the same result :| | 15:13 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, oh, that menu. That generally happens when you click Back, or something goes wrong | 15:32 |
| marcoceppi | yeah, I'm not sure what's going wrong. If it's fetching my preseed and the preseed is wrong or if it's failing to get that far | 15:33 |
| rbasak | marcoceppi: hello, BTW :) | 15:33 |
| rbasak | Hope you're well! | 15:33 |
| marcoceppi | o/ rbasak! Doing well except for this stubborn netboot ;) | 15:34 |
| rbasak | Sorry I can't help with that. It's been years since I touched d-i netboot. | 15:34 |
| marcoceppi | no worries, it's good to know this menu is because somethings wrong | 15:35 |
| marcoceppi | hope you're doing well too! | 15:35 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, you can switch to a tty and read the logs | 15:35 |
| rbasak | I'm good thanks! | 15:35 |
| marcoceppi | lordcirth_: I dropped to a busybox shell and more'd the logs | 15:36 |
| rbasak | IIRC d-i is particularly finnicky about preseed syntax and that kind of thing, with not much help if there's something wrong. | 15:36 |
| marcoceppi | /var/log/syslog in particular | 15:36 |
| marcoceppi | I saw it set the values from append, and get the value for preseed/url twice | 15:36 |
| marcoceppi | but I'm not sure where that woudl be stored if it downloaded it, for example | 15:36 |
| marcoceppi | lordcirth_: what should I be looking for? | 15:37 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, I forget the path, but there's an installer log as well. | 15:38 |
| marcoceppi | lordcirth_: so I found /var/lib/preseed/log which shows my choices from the append line. `/var/log` only has syslog. I'll hunt for installer | 15:39 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, That might be the one I'm thinking of. Can you pastebin it? | 15:40 |
| marcoceppi | ehhhhhhhhhh, probably not in this busybox, but it's essentially what's in my kernel append. let me try | 15:41 |
| marcoceppi | I'm worried that my busy box session didn't have any networking configured lordcirth_, makes me think what I'm presenting in the grub append lines isn't correct or missing an item | 15:43 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, you should have 'nc' installed in busybox. "cat log | nc termbin.com 9999" | 15:43 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, so, if you are missing a line, generally the installer will just ask you that question - partial preseeds are normal | 15:43 |
| marcoceppi | except I set this to critcal, and my preseed file is fetched over the network | 15:44 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, and your network didn't come up? | 15:44 |
| marcoceppi | It didn't until I ran that step in the aforementioned installer box | 15:44 |
| lordcirth_ | Do you have multiple interfaces? | 15:44 |
| marcoceppi | I have a pastebin now | 15:44 |
| marcoceppi | I have 4 | 15:44 |
| marcoceppi | https://termbin.com/vy6n | 15:45 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, "critcal" should be "critical" | 15:45 |
| marcoceppi | ... let me try that | 15:46 |
| marcoceppi | lordcirth_: thanks for your help, apparently my speeeling caused quite a few days of no progress | 16:12 |

| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, lol. So it works now? | 16:36 |
| marcoceppi | yeah >.> | 16:40 |
| marcoceppi | I just need to get the Installer Boot Menu to timeout and go to the install option I think I have that figured out | 16:40 |
| marcoceppi | otherwise install went swimmingly | 16:40 |
| marcoceppi | thanks again for your help lordcirth_ | 16:42 |
| lordcirth_ | marcoceppi, you're welcome! | 16:43 |
| lordcirth_ | strixdio, Are you trying to ssh as root? | 16:50 |
| strixdio | any reason a fresh install of ubuntu server would be giving me access denied for ssh? | 16:50 |
| strixdio | whoops | 16:50 |
| strixdio | no | 16:50 |
| strixdio | the standard user that was created in the wizard during install | 16:50 |
| lordcirth_ | strixdio, and the same password works on a tty? | 16:50 |
| strixdio | correct | 16:51 |
| strixdio | I'm getting a literal "access denied" | 16:52 |
| lordcirth_ | strixdio, does it list auth methods when it says that? | 16:52 |
| strixdio | hmmmmm actually, hang on a sec. | 16:52 |
| strixdio | something isn't right. | 16:52 |
| lordcirth_ | I would also confirm that it is the host you think it is. | 16:52 |
| strixdio | it definitely is | 16:52 |
| strixdio | but checking it for a network connection on the TTY, it has nothing | 16:53 |
| strixdio | now, I'm used to gentoo method of setting up network connections-- what config file am I using for ubuntu server? | 16:53 |
| lordcirth_ | strixdio, 18.04? | 16:53 |
| strixdio | yes | 16:53 |
| lordcirth_ | /etc/netplan/* | 16:53 |
| strixdio | interfaces? | 16:53 |
| strixdio | o | 16:53 |
| strixdio | and restarting the network? | 16:54 |
| lordcirth_ | strixdio, 'netplan apply' | 16:54 |
| strixdio | thanks. | 16:55 |
| strixdio | strange though lol | 16:55 |
| cyphermox | "access denied" wouldn't be a return due to missing network | 16:55 |
| strixdio | hmmm | 16:55 |
| strixdio | I can't ping anything though | 16:55 |
| strixdio | so I want to first make sure that's all sorted | 16:56 |
| cyphermox | yup | 16:56 |
| strixdio | derp. | 16:57 |
| cyphermox | two machines, one IP? | 16:58 |
| strixdio | had it on the wrong network | 16:58 |
| strixdio | :D | 16:58 |
| strixdio | that's all it was. | 17:00 |
| strixdio | not sure why I was getting access denied earlier... | 17:00 |
| * strixdio shrugs | 17:01 | |
| strixdio | anyway, thanks :) | 17:01 |
