[19:17] Hi [19:18] I am trying to install Ubuntu Desktop (20.04) using kickstart, but it is not easy and I think that my problem is ubiquity [19:18] someone on this room would have an experience or documentation for this? [19:18] thank you :) [19:21] crokedgrind59: this isn't what you are asking for, but it is easy and maybe close [19:21] https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/ansible/usb_install/usb_quick_start.html [19:21] hi CarlFK, thank you very much for answering me. I will take a look to this link :) [19:23] it should take you about 20 min to grind through that process [19:23] then we can muddle about to make it do what you want [19:24] that looks nice, I have to test to see if I could customised more than the only few questions I can see on the example [19:25] I would like, por exemple, be able to luks + lvm + install or remove stuff [19:26] do it as is first - it doesn't get much traffic, so it may have broken [19:28] it has support for ubuntu: https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-video-team/ansible/-/blob/master/usbinst/mk_usb_installer.sh#L62 [19:29] but I haven't touched that in a while. but I have some time to work with you and get fix if needed [19:30] ok, I am following the little how-to and see what happens [19:30] maybe I am wrong, but it seems to download debian 10.3.0 netinstall [19:31] I would need, in fact, ubuntu 20.04 [19:32] distro: (debian) debian or ubuntu [19:32] ok [19:34] right - do the debian video mixer thing first. [19:36] sorry, I didn't understand [19:36] what is the debian video mixer? You mean launch the generation of a debian iso first? [19:44] you will see when you are done ;) [19:45] it will be much easier to talk and understand if you have the results first [19:49] ok [19:49] I am modifying the script to adapt to ubuntu, but you are right [19:50] I will try,first, using the script for a debian iso :) [19:50] thank you [19:50] thank you! [19:50] I am sure the ubuntu one will break [19:51] File ‘debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso’ not modified on server. Omitting download.

[19:57] the sha256sum is not the same [19:58] I have removed the iso file, and I am trying to download it again [19:58] you are right [19:58] the first time, I ctrl+c .. sorry [19:58] my bad [20:06] hi again [20:07] dcfldd:/dev/sdc: No medium found [20:08] un/plug in your usb stick, pastebin dmesg [20:08] https://paste.ubuntu.com [20:12] oh - if you "eject" the usb stick, that happens [20:12] you need to sudo umount [20:13] "you need to sudo umount" [20:13] I did umount because the procedure asked to do so [20:13] it is mounted: [20:14] + grep debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso SHA256SUMS [20:14] + sha256sum --check debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso.SHA256SUM [20:14] debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso: OK [20:14] + sudo dcfldd of=/dev/sdc [20:14] + zcat cache/buster/amd64/hd-media/boot.img.gz [20:15] its not great to paste more than 2 or 3 lines - sometimes bot's will kick you, and in some #chaneles it is considered rude. (this #chan is kinda ok given it is not spozed to be used any more [20:15] you are right, sorry [20:16] so many years (more than twenty) that I do not use IRC :) [20:16] I will use pastebin [20:16] also - + zcat cache... is the last line I see. "is mounted" is not what should be the case at that place, so ... paste more I hope [20:17] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4g9GVSC3gP/ [20:17] it seems to run smooth, now [20:18] I need to go now, thank you very much for this clue! [20:18] I will try it and will come back [20:19] see ya [20:19] thank you a lot [20:20] it is very kind of you to help :) [20:20] im booting a box on the usb stick now, so next time you try this part should be working [20:20] Please boot the target machine from the USB stick now. [20:21] last line [20:21] so, If I well understood [20:22] on the file voctest.cfg I will add the tokens and values I need for my iso to be installed? [20:22] there is a way to save it on a .iso file? [20:23] we don't make an .iso, because building on top of a minimal install is much easier [20:24] ok, I understand [20:24] I will try to create an iso from the usb [20:24] as, for test, is nicer to use Virtualbox, por example [20:25] no no no... [20:25] ah, ok [20:25] it won't work? [20:25] you can do whatever you want. [20:25] but I don't recomend trying to make an iso [20:25] ok [20:25] get though these simple steps first. [20:26] ok [20:26] anyway, very nice your help [20:26] sure thing [20:26] I keep working on it tomorrow and give you a feedback :) [20:27] sure thing - try not to get distracted with 'good ideas' ;)
