[Bug 659632] Re: netinstall refuses to use local mirror
I ran into the following today too. Looking at the debian installer source (http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/CheckOut) it looks like support for the enter information manually strings have been removed in favour of manual . So the example from William at response #8 should be: d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/http/countries string manual d-i mirror/http/hostname string yourmirror-here.org d-i mirror/http/mirror string yourmirror-here.org d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu d-i mirror/suite string natty d-i mirror/http/proxy string And Christian Orth (#9) would not work because the string should be manual and not manual de. I am attaching the contents of git show bb1bdcaa4eecfc47b69420c0687eb3c2bc8e1d01 from the source. The changelog message was: 'Drop backwards compatibility for preseeding manual mirror selection. Change was introduced in Lenny. One release is enough for backwards compatibility support.' I am guessing that there is a lot of documentation out there that needs to be changed now. ** Attachment added: bb1bdcaa4eecfc47b69420c0687eb3c2bc8e1d01.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/659632/+attachment/3209527/+files/bb1bdcaa4eecfc47b69420c0687eb3c2bc8e1d01.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659632 Title: netinstall refuses to use local mirror To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/659632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, i have the exact same issue.

[Bug 659632] Re: netinstall refuses to use local mirror
I believe I have the same issue.
We have been deploying Ubuntu by pointing the Ubuntu mirror to an internal
mirror with a preseed file. This has been working for us since Ubuntu 7.04. I
use the same preseed file and just change the directory. Now it's trying to
install from gb.archive.ubuntu.com. The d-i installer stops with the error:
Bad archive mirror. An error has been detected while trying to use the
specified Ubuntu archive mirror.
my preseed file mirror section:
d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostnamestring {our internal http server}
d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu/1010-64
d-i mirror/suitestring maverick
d-i mirror/http/proxy string

[Bug 659632] Re: netinstall refuses to use local mirror
Hi Rafael, Thank you for your response. However, it appears I may not have made myself clear. My organization is trying to deploy Ubuntu using an internal mirror of the Ubuntu repositories. We do NOT want to connect to the Internet at all during a kickstart installation. Even if I replace all instances of references to external Internet mirrors with our own private mirror, the installer still insists upon accessing the Internet, thus drastically slowing down the installation process.
