[Bug 662931] Re: kickseed ignores mirror selection
Adding preseed mirror/country string manual to the kickstart file does not seem to fix it. Still breaks when trying to provision systems that do not have (direct) Internet access. (on retrieving the dmraid udeb: wget: bad address security.ubuntu.com) Any chance of getting the fix applied to the official Lucid and Maverick netinstall initrd.gz? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662931 Title: kickseed ignores mirror selection -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 662931] Re: kickseed ignores mirror selection
Ignore my last comment. preseed mirror/country string manual does work as a work-around. Made the mistake of adding it before 'url' instead of after. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662931 Title: kickseed ignores mirror selection -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A slightly simpler workaround than that in comment 4 is to add this line to your Kickstart file, somewhere after the 'url' line: preseed mirror/country string manual -- kickseed ignores mirror selection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug was fixed in the package kickseed - 0.55ubuntu1 --- kickseed (0.55ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Add basic RAID support. (LVM-on-RAID won't quite work yet.) - Add basic iSCSI support. kickseed (0.55) unstable; urgency=low * Preseed mirror/country to manual instead of enter information manually; support for the latter has been dropped (LP: #662931). -- Colin Watson cjwat...@ubuntu.com Thu, 04 Nov 2010 12:25:06 + ** Changed in: kickseed (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- kickseed ignores mirror selection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

While this was probably triggered by a choose-mirror change, it really is a kickseed bug - it needs to keep up sometimes. Reassigning back and I'll fix this upstream.

[Bug 662931] Re: kickseed ignores mirror selection
I hit the same problem with this. Again, I only set up a small number of machines (I do a single lesson in using Linux once a year) but wanted an unattended setup for the 18 machines. Currently, I'm working around this problem by creating a preseed file (based on the ubuntu.seed in the 'preseed' directory on the alternate CD) that contains the following line: d-i mirror/country string manual I've also set the mirror host and directory with 'mirror/http/hostname' and 'mirror/http/directory' in this file. After setting the mirror's country to 'manual', it appears that you can then set your own mirror url. Hope this helps.

On second thought, I think this must be a problem with debian-installer. kickseed has not changed since lucid, but debian-installer changed on October 5th. -- kickseed ignores mirror selection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
