[Bug 827496] Re: cobbler kickstart metadata dont affect ubuntu preseed
I could put that in the system but since id like to have multiple profiles inherit from it, the only workaround I can see is to patch the pxe and tft files before the installation for each system, I think that the reason I thought the user had no effect was because I set it up in the system -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827496 Title: cobbler kickstart metadata dont affect ubuntu preseed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/827496/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 827496] Re: cobbler kickstart metadata dont affect ubuntu preseed
Hey Andres, after digging a bit further into the issue I think iv found the cause, iv got a system that inherits from a profile, the parent profile specifies the following kernel options: priority=critical locale=en_US In the inheriting system iv specified: priority=critical locale=en_US hostname=ubu2 Iv found that cobbler generates a file under: /var/lib/tftpboot/grub/MAC_ADDRESS This file contains the hostname: title developer-desktop root (nd) kernel /images/ubuntu-alternate-x86_64/linux locale= locale=en_US text hostname=ubu2 priority=critical auto url=http://192.168.4.18/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/ubu2 hostname= domain=local.lan suite=natty initrd /images/ubuntu-alternate-x86_64/initrd.gz Notice that the hostname entry is duplicated with one entry empty, then when ill try to install a machine the installer will indeed complain about an empty hostname value, no matter what I specify in my kickstart meta data (looks like kernel options take precedence) The only solution is to set the hostname in the systems kernel options (leaving it out will also result with an empty value passed to the installer no matter what). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827496 Title: cobbler kickstart metadata dont affect ubuntu preseed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/827496/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Im able to import and install the alternate cd using cobbler however instead of getting a desktop loading Im getting a server (terminal only) after boot, using the same cd and installing the machine manually does result with a desktop installed, I don't know how to make sense of it.
