I'm not sure what is expected to happen from your side.

[Bug 1872941] Re: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed
I am working on implementing network config & network .iso discovery On s390x, when using virt-install, do you really want to configure networking at all or do you want it to simply dhcp, self-find the right iso, download that and attempt booting that? Or do you still want interactive experience to ask for any chzdev devices to activate, dhcp or static, ip address, gateway (? or just always use default), dns (? or just always use gateway), vlan id, http_proxy, url to iso? Because it feels like the best experience is no questions asked, just works. Which might be the case with DPM autoconfigured networking devices & qemu autoconfigured devices. Also virt-install can download & import boot off .iso. Have you tried to point virt-install just at the live-server.iso? On s390x, I expect it to be downloaded, added as a SCSI disk, and el-torito boot to be performed. And if kernel params are needed, virt-install knows how to extract kernels from iso, and it can then do direct kernel boot with kernel params, which iso attached. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872941 Title: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1872941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Peter, for the (s390x) kernel and initrd of d-i (legacy) usage, the URL is still: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/bionic/main/installer-s390x The problem was that virt-install expected .../current/images as tail and refused to work with .../current/legacy-images, but this is solved now.

[Bug 1872941] Re: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed
If the legacy d-i netboot images are not going to be published/supported 20.04.1 onwards, do we have an equivalent replacement that's able to perform the same function? The mini.iso allows me to boot my 384 Mb ram VPS without a cd-rom drive into the installation environment by just loading the kernel/initrd from grub and complete a minimal setup by downloading only the necessary components from the internet. It also allows me to keep my existing disk layout (LVM volumes hosted in an encrypted luks partition) and install over it. Are we expecting the new netboot/subiquity setup to be able to do this by the 20.04.1 release? Or are we just going to drop the legacy installer that works well to address these use cases in favor of something that must download and load a 1 Gb ISO image in RAM to work? What about the ability to install over existing LVM volumes within an encrypted partition?

Unfortunately installer-arch/ is hardcoded portion of the prefix in the internal archive publishing, internal mirroring, and external mirroring, thus I cannot change it to legacy-installer-arch. Also these will only exist for a short period of time until June, so I don't see the point of investing into redoing all of our archive publishing to support this.

Renaming the artefacts was a compromise. the other option was to not publish them at all. d-i artefacts will not exist for 20.10 release, nor for 20.04.1 release, on any architecture. Thus renamed d-i artefacts is a transitional period of ~3 months until 20.04.1 is released. cloud-images for s390x with working cloud-init existed since the pre- release of the very first s390x architecture build.

The URL is changed intentionally, to notify all users that these images are deprecated and will not be updated after 20.04.0 GA, and will no longer be published in the future. You should not be using virt-install, and simply boot the s390x cloud- image in-place, with suitable cloud-config drive attached. This way, you simply directly boot into installed ubuntu server, which executes cloud- init and reconfigures the instance on first boot as desired without performing installation & reboot.

[Bug 1872941] Re: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed
First of all, both examples from comment #3 work (subiquity also installs that way). I guess it's obvious that the '--location' doesn't work with the directory tree anymore due to the change in the URL from http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x/current/images/ to: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x/current/legacy-images/ (notice that http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/eoan/main/installer-s390x still works). As far as I can tell the URL change was done by intention and to indicate that the default installer for 20.04 is no longer d-i, but subiquity. The '--cdrom' is a valid option for many cases, but unfortunately not for all, since it doesn't allow the '-extra-args' argument - '-extra- args' only works in combination with '--location', not with '--cdrom'. I currently see two options, one is renaming the URL back and the second option is to directly specify kernel and initrd, like: ubuntu@s1lp11:~$ virt-install --name ubuntu20-guest1 --memory 4096 --vcpus 4 --disk "size=4" --install kernel=http://ports.ubuntu.com /ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x/current/legacy- images/generic/kernel.ubuntu,initrd=http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu- ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x/current/legacy- images/generic/initrd.ubuntu --network "network=default" As far as I can tell netboot images/files at 'ports.ubuntu.com' are all d-i only. For subiquity one needs to grab kernel and initrd for potential netbooting from the focal-live-server-s390x.iso or the iso itself. Btw. preseed is the non-interactive installation method based on d-i. With the new subiquity installer the preseed successor is 'autoinstallation' - for more details let me refer to: Automated Server Installs for 20.04 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls Automated Server Installs Config File Reference https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/ConfigReference JSON Schema for autoinstall config https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/ConfigSchema Autoinstall Quick Start https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/QuickStart Autoinstall Quick Start for s390x https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/QuickStart/s390x -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872941 Title: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1872941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1872941] Re: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed
Agreed @cborntra, if that is your use case then those two ways are not equivalent. Then for now I only know of the "workaround to specify kernel/initramfs directly" that you are aware of as well. Let's see what feedback Andrew gets when asking to change the path back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872941 Title: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1872941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1872941] Re: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed
Actually the following works pretty well for getting to the old-style installer on s390x. Instead of a location to the install-dir, just hand it an ISO (can also be a local file). virt-install --name ubuntu20-guest1 --memory 4096 --vcpus 4 --disk "size=4" --cdrom http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current /focal-server-s390x.iso --network "network=default" And for the new installer: virt-install --name ubuntu20-guest1 --memory 4096 --vcpus 4 --disk "size=4" --cdrom http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/current/focal-live-server-s390x.iso --network "network=default" P.S. I haven't tried the latter recently, but I know JFH is filing and pushing on related fixes. Never the less this should solve your issue in case the path as published can't be renamed back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872941 Title: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1872941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1872941] Re: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed
in the function _set_url_paths it makes up the defaults: # generic url_prefix = "current/images" ... # s390x specific as it can't find "normal" kernel/initrd there hvmroot = "%s/generic/" % url_prefix kernel_basename = "kernel.%s" % self._debname That will construct http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/bionic/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/kernel.ubuntu Which was the correct old path. The new path would be the new path. http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer- s390x/current/legacy-images/generic/kernel.ubuntu But that differs based on the version, if you want to install a bionic guest the old code works. @Andrew - you might want to ask to keep the old layout instead of changing this (and probably many other tools/scripts)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872941 Title: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1872941/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
