[Bug 775670] Re: Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com
My goal would be to install ubuntu in a kvm virtual machine totally automated. Must be my fault but for some reason I am not able to make a fully automated installation. Whatever I try to configure as an install mirror server at the end it always goes to 91.189.88.153 (cherufe.canonical.com) But this server was reported to be down in many places and this breaks the whole installation. I have attached a script and some config file to test this. If you untar it into a directory than you can call ./net.sh simple Please check the script - it is simple - before you run it. This will create a kvm virtual machine via libvirt and starts an installation. The installation should use hu.archive.ubuntu.com but wireshark shows it tries to use cherufe.canonical.com. I tried many preseed configuration option in the *.cfg files. But none of these were working. All the tested ubuntu releases - precise, trusty, utopic - seems to be wrong. It seems debian squeeze is also bad however debian wheezy seems to be good. If somebody could tell me what is wrong or could confirm that this is really a bug I would be grateful. Note: Using debconf/priority=high gives me a chance to select a mirror. After I select Hungary as a mirror everything works fine. ** Attachment added: autoinstall.tar.gz https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/preseed/+bug/775670/+attachment/4127839/+files/autoinstall.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775670 Title: Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/preseed/+bug/775670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I got my mirror working after adding this line for selecting the local mirror, by default the preseed file is selecting cc.archive.ubuntu.com by adding the below line we can redirect the control to our local mirror. d-i mirror/http/mirror select my.local.mirror d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/http/hostnamestring my.local.mirror d-i mirror/http/directory string /my/local/mirror-path d-i mirror/http/proxy string -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775670 Title: Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/preseed/+bug/775670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 775670] Re: Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com
Does anybody have an update on this?
I created a mirror repository of precise, both 32 bit and 64bit on one
of my local servers using apt-mirror. I'm trying to do a preseed
install from it, but it fails to work...
It says:
[!!] Download installer components
The installer failed to download a file from the mirror. This may be a
problem with your network, or with the mirror. You can choose to retry
the download, select a different mirror, or cancel and choose another
installation method.
Downloading a file failed:
- Retry
- Change mirror
- Cancel

Hi Alex, Could you send me the preseed file you're using. I believe it does not work anymore on 12.04.

I've finally got my local mirror working. It seems that setting 'mirror/country' to country code overrides 'mirror/http/hostname'. Setting it to 'manual' fixed it. There is my set of options which is working: d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/http/hostname string local.mirror.fqdn d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu-11.04-server-i386 d-i mirror/http/proxy string d-i apt-setup/security_host string local.mirror.fqdn -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775670 Title: Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
