| yogg | Hi | 13:53 |
|---|---|---|
| yogg | I playing around with ubuntu cloud-init installer. I added a list of packages to the "packages:" area and while running the whole thing I realized that the installer starts a chroot for every single package in the list, installs it and then closes the chroot. | 13:53 |
| yogg | This takes forever if the list is long. Is there a way to install the packages in one bulk action? | 13:53 |
| falcojr | yogg: which platform and package manager? | 13:55 |
| yogg | ubuntu 24.04 | 13:57 |
| yogg | apt | 13:57 |
| yogg | I mean I could just add a "late-command" "apt install package1 package2 package3 ..." but I hoped there is a better way to do this | 13:59 |
| falcojr | yogg: can I get a pastebin of /var/log/cloud-init.log ? | 14:05 |
| yogg | The installer is currently running. I post it after it has finished | 14:09 |
| ananke | speaking of packages: module, what would be the correct way to specify a package group that starts with '@' sign? I've tried quoting, escaping, nothing seems to work | 14:11 |
| falcojr | ananke: for apt? It may not be possible. I'm not familiar with that syntax. Can you provide a link to documentation describing it? | 14:23 |
| yogg | falcojr: here is the logfile: https://pastebin.com/d1kkLhwu | 14:26 |
| ananke | falcojr: it's for dnf, in fedora | 14:27 |
| ananke | eg: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xfce : dnf install @xfce-desktop-environment | 14:29 |
| falcojr | yogg: Ah, sorry. I misread your initial about the installer. I thought you were trying to use cloud-init to install packages, but you're using the Ubuntu installer? Those are separate projects. I can help with the cloud-init side of things, but the log you provided isn't installing anything via cloud-init. | 14:29 |
| falcojr | You'll probably have better luck getting help with installer in the #ubuntu-server channel | 14:30 |
| yogg | falcojr: thx, it is really confusing everything is called cloud-init ^^ | 14:31 |
