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

[19:54] <crokedgrind59> I will sha256 it by hand

[19:56] <crokedgrind59> Why ommiting download?
[19:56] <CarlFK> Not ModifiedFile
[19:56] <crokedgrind59> *omitting
[19:56] <CarlFK> local cache
[19:56] <crokedgrind59> ah, ok
[19:57] <CarlFK> did you ^c it the first time maybe?
[19:57] <crokedgrind59> the sha256sum is not the same
[19:58] <crokedgrind59> I have removed the iso file, and I am trying to download it again
[19:58] <crokedgrind59> you are right
[19:58] <crokedgrind59> the first time, I ctrl+c .. sorry
[19:58] <crokedgrind59> my bad
[20:06] <crockedgrind59> hi again
[20:07] <crockedgrind59> dcfldd:/dev/sdc: No medium found
[20:08] <CarlFK> un/plug in your usb stick, pastebin dmesg
[20:08] <CarlFK> https://paste.ubuntu.com
[20:12] <CarlFK> oh - if you "eject" the usb stick, that happens
[20:12] <CarlFK> you need to sudo umount
[20:13] <crockedgrind59> "you need to sudo umount"
[20:13] <crockedgrind59> I did umount because the procedure asked to do so
[20:13] <crockedgrind59> it is mounted:
[20:14] <crockedgrind59> + grep debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso SHA256SUMS
[20:14] <crockedgrind59> + sha256sum --check debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso.SHA256SUM
[20:14] <crockedgrind59> debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso: OK
[20:14] <crockedgrind59> + sudo dcfldd of=/dev/sdc
[20:14] <crockedgrind59> + zcat cache/buster/amd64/hd-media/boot.img.gz
[20:15] <CarlFK> 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] <crockedgrind59> you are right, sorry
[20:16] <crockedgrind59> so many years (more than twenty) that I do not use IRC :)
[20:16] <crockedgrind59> I will use pastebin
[20:16] <CarlFK> 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] <crockedgrind59> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4g9GVSC3gP/
[20:17] <crockedgrind59> it seems to run smooth, now
[20:18] <crockedgrind59> I need to go now, thank you very much for this clue!
[20:18] <crockedgrind59> I will try it and will come back
[20:19] <CarlFK> see ya
[20:19] <crockedgrind59> thank you a lot
[20:20] <crockedgrind59> it is very kind of you to help :)
[20:20] <CarlFK> im booting a box on the usb stick now, so next time you try this part should be working
[20:20] <crockedgrind59> Please boot the target machine from the USB stick now.
[20:21] <crockedgrind59> last line
[20:21] <crockedgrind59> so, If I well understood
[20:22] <crockedgrind59> on the file voctest.cfg I will add the tokens and values I need for my iso to be installed?
[20:22] <crockedgrind59> there is a way to save it on a .iso file?
[20:23] <CarlFK> we don't make an .iso, because building on top of a minimal install is much easier
[20:24] <crockedgrind59> ok, I understand
[20:24] <crockedgrind59> I will try to create an iso from the usb
[20:24] <crockedgrind59> as, for test, is nicer to use Virtualbox, por example
[20:25] <CarlFK> no no no...
[20:25] <crockedgrind59> ah, ok
[20:25] <crockedgrind59> it won't work?
[20:25] <CarlFK> you can do whatever you want.
[20:25] <CarlFK> but I don't recomend trying to make an iso
[20:25] <crockedgrind59> ok
[20:25] <CarlFK> get though these simple steps first.
[20:26] <crockedgrind59> ok
[20:26] <crockedgrind59> anyway, very nice your help
[20:26] <CarlFK> sure thing
[20:26] <crockedgrind59> I keep working on it tomorrow and give you a feedback :)
[20:27] <CarlFK> sure thing - try not to get distracted with 'good ideas' ;)
