Disable/skip/ignore !! Configure the package manager dialog in preseed
Hi, I'm using PXE boot server to install debian 9 using preseed in headless way. I'm using my product DVD as local debian reposiotry (having main contrib and non-free) sections enabled. I've to install some tools from non-free sections so i'm putting local repo configuration: d-i mirror/protocol http d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/http/hostname string xx.xx.xx.xx d-i mirror/http/directory string / d-i mirror/http/proxy string d-i debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated boolean true To enable non-free tools to be installed i'm using : d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true It works as expected but i getting below mentioned annoying dialog which i'm not sure how to ignore/skip/disable using pressed and should be able to install non-free and contrib tools from local repo: [!!] Configure the package manager Cannot access repository The repository on xx.xx.xx.xx could not be accessed, so its updates will not be made available to you at this time. You should investigate it later. Commented out entries for xx.xx.xx.xx have been add /etc/apt/sources.list Does somebody have faced this issue? i did googling but did not get a workaround/fix for this Thank you. Ravi.
Debian 9 base product DVD installation using PXE boot in headless way.
Hi All, I've a PXE server running along with DNSMASQ and TFTP configured and set Virtual Box based VM (for test puposes) as network boot in BIOS and start the VM, it boots using the PXE server and I can see PXE boot message in the console and take the IP from DHCP server in the network and also start product's ISO as soon as it goes ahead it gives the error "No common CD ROM detected" and installation does not proceed as expected. I also tried to boot using netboot.tar.gz from debian repository as an starting point it works as expected and install the basic system in interactive way. I want to install my product's custom DVD on several machines in my network in headless way using PXE server. I've tried to google it but no solid example could be found. Does somebody know if it is possible to achieve this or with some workrounds? Thank you. Regards, Ravi.

apt-get can not find debian package in cdrom
Hi, I'm using debian 6.0 Squeeze for my product and its installation is headless using preseed. I have a strange issue that CD contains a debian package but after mounting the cdrom when I try to install the package it says : $ sudo apt-get install mypackage Reading package lists .. Done Building dependency tree Reading state information .. Done Package mypackage is not available, but it is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'mypackage' has not installation candidate. I verfied it and it is available in cdrom; I'm using apt and apt-utils versions 0.8.10.3. It would be helpful if somebody can point to a direction which may help to resolve this issue. Thanks you!

Hi, I am using netinstall 5.0.4 of Lenny and I wonder if somone can throw some light on cdrom-detect udeb package which is part of debian installer. I can not find cdrom-detect.udeb in debian netinstall CD of lenny. Reason to ask this is to understand that what is the flow of CD/DVD-Rom detection and mount or how it works at lower level. Thanks! --RR

Debian Lenny archives location ?
This might be a stupid question becuase of my ignorance, in case it is, please excuse me. Debian 6.0 Squeeze is stabe and Lenny (last point rel. 5.0.8) is old stable. As per the posts I have come through so far, says that oldstable are moved to http://archive.debian.org (archives for oldstables). But I can not see Lenny in archives or I am missing something? Where can I can access Lenny old stable packages using apt-get ? Thanks for your attention. -RR
Re: Debian Lenny archives location ?
That is true, but oldstable is only archived one year after the relase of the current stable. That means you should find lenny sitting just beside squeeze on most mirrors. Your sources.list entries from before squeeze should still work until February 2012. Ah, great. New learning for me. Thanks Jochen :) --RR
Local debian repository producing additional packages with version mismatches
Hello, I have setup a local debian repository and serving the same using VSFTPD ftp server. I can use apt-get to install the packages from this repository on another linux machine... No problems... I have custom scripts to generate DVD for my product which uses official debian repositories to resolve the dependencies of my product's debian packages; all works fine. But when I generate DVD using my local debian repository, there are lot of addtional packages downloaded with version mistmatches and DVD does not install. Info about layout and installation steps of local debian repository : - ftp://mymachine/debian : root of the repository dists -- lenny -- main -- binary-amd64 --Packages.gz dists -- lenny -- contrib -- binary-amd64 -- Packages.gz dists -- lenny -- non-free -- binary-amd64 -- Packages.gz pool -- main -- all main section packages here pool -- contrib -- all contrib section packages here pool --non-free -- all non-free section packages here pool contains all debian packages for sections main, contrib and non-free respectively (these packages are taken from official debian repository) All indexes for these packages in the pool have been created by me using : dpkg-scanpackages pool/main /dev/null | gzip -9c absolute path to package.gz Same for all three sections main, contrib and non-free. Can somebody point me why version mismatches are there in case I use my local repository, but version mismatches are not there in case I use official debian repositoryes... this confuses me... Thank you all in advance for any pointers. Regards --RR
Help on porting packages between Debian 5 lenny and Debian 4.0 etch
Hi Could somebody help me as how to port pacakges between distributions ... for example a package which exists in debian 5.0 lenny but does not exists in debian 4.0 etch and I need the same package in debian 4.0 etch. Thanks for your pointers in advance! Regards -RR

My product is running using debian 4.0 etch version in production enviornment and needs bug fix releases from time to time.. though effort is already started to migrate to debian 5.0 lenny. Thanks for your pointers in advance! This may involve some library backports etc so it may not simple. Few things before trying it yourself. It may be done. Check old archive for backports. apt line: http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ etch-backports main URL: http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/dists/etch-backports/main/ If not, you can extend tricks described in 2.7.10.

We need to waitfor it. But you get the idea.) It is essentially: # apt-get update # in sarge # apt-get install fakeroot devscripts build-essential $ apt-get build-dep foo # this is from lenny $ apt-get source foo $ cd foo* Some basic packaging skill is needed. So read old (lenny) version and new (squeeze) version of maint-guide. Newest vesion on the is on the web: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html If all these are too much, hire some one if it is for your work. If it s your privte system, think about upgrading to lenny. I have to start it reading and trying out the things.. thanks for your help. Regards -RR Osamu
How to boot machine with newly installed kernel using presseed.cfg
Hi I am installing new debian machine debian 5.0 - 64-bit.

(4) What is the contents of your boot loader configuration file? (/etc/lilo.conf for lilo, /boot/grub/menu.lst for grub version 1, etc.) menu.lst contains two entries for kernel 2.6.26.2, which boots perfectly. (5) What scripts exist in /etc/kernel/postinst.d, /etc/kernel/postrm.d, and /etc/initramfs/post-update.d? Have to try to install it again and will let you know. (6) Are symbolic links used for the kernel, such as vmlinuz, and vmlinuz.old? And what about the initial RAM file systems? Are symbolic links used for them too? (initrd.img, initrd.img.old) If so, where are these symbolic links? (/, /boot, etc.) When I boot with old kernel under /boot, i can not see initrd.img for 2.6.33.3; means it is missing nor links exists. (7) What exactly are the symptoms of failure when you attempt to boot the 2.6.33 kernel? At installation time it does not give any error and system reboots and boots with old kernel. I think first issue is initrd.img is missing for 2.6.33.3 and that is the reason menu list also not being updated. Thanks!
