Re: [PVE-User] sbin/unconfigured.sh

I tried proxdebug. No extra messages are generated after the network has
initialised.
There is no log in /tmp folder ? Has the log moved?

How do I run xinit? Where is it?
Do you mean init? If I run this it says must be run as PID 1 - how can I
fix this (sorry, I am not a linux guru!)

Re: [PVE-User] sbin/unconfigured.sh

2017-05-19 Thread Steve
I just found  a way to get it to work by modifying the grub menu and add
lvm2root=/dev/sdX4

where sdX4 is a partition on the USB drive which points directly to the ISO
file.
So I am booting from the ISO (mapped to the BIOS device (0xff) in grub4dos)
which boots to the grub2 menu and then I add the lvm2root parameter.

The strange thing is that if I boot from a FAT32 flat-file system and have
the ISO mapped to a partition in exactly the same way, the init script
fails.

Re: [PVE-User] sbin/unconfigured.sh

If I type xinit it says /bin/sh: xinit: not found

I am the author of easy2boot which is a USB multiboot tool to allow people
to boot from 100's of different ISOs (or images) all from one USB stick.
I have been asked by a user to get proxmox 4 working.
3.2 works because I can run the unconfigured.sh from the command line

http://rmprepusb.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/add-proxmox-isos-to-easy2boot.html
http://www.easy2boot.com

I tried setting proxdebug and  root=/dev/sdb1  or lvm2root=/dev/sdb1 to get
it to mount the FAT32 partition to /mnt. I do not need to manually use any
mount commands, it just automatically runs init but this causes an early
error message of
mount: mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument
but if I use the mount command I can see that /mnt is present as a vfat
/dev/sdb1
If I press CTRL+D to continue, it fails in the exact same place with
Installation aborted - unable to continue.
Note that this is not using my script at all, just the original init script
- I have not broken into the boot process because it picks up the lvm2root
parameter.

I am so *near*, yet I just cannot get the unconfigured.sh script to run in
this way...

thanks for your help.

[PVE-User] sbin/unconfigured.sh

2017-05-18 Thread Steve
In version 3.2 ISO there was this script to start an install.
This file is not in recent versions.
Is there an equivalent way to start an install with v4.4 or any other
recent version?
Thanks

2017-05-19 Thread Steve
One last hurdle!

instead of /dev/sda1  I want to use /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXX because I
don't know how many disks there are in the system

but it does not work - I presume that /dev/disk/by-uuid does not yet exist
at the time the init script is running?

Is there any other way to reference the partition? I am guessing that
by-label will not work either?...

Re: [PVE-User] sbin/unconfigured.sh

2017-05-19 Thread Steve
I think the problem is with grub4dos.

If I use this menu from a FAT32 USB drive

title ProxMox lvm2root=sda1
kernel /boot/linux26 ro ramdisk_size=16777216 lvm2root=/dev/sda1 rw quiet
splash=silent
initrd /boot/initrd.img

then it does not work and I get the Installation aborted message

but if I use the same menu in grub2 from the same drive,

menuentry 'Install Proxmox VE sda1' --class debian --class gnu-linux
--class gnu --class os {
linux /boot/linux26 ro ramdisk_size=16777216 lvm2root=/dev/sda1 rw quiet
splash=silent
initrd /boot/initrd.img
}

then it works and loads the installer GUI.

I also note that it does not change to 1024x768 when booting via grub4dos,
so I added

vga=791

and now it works!!!

2017-05-18 Thread Steve
Thanks for the quick reply.
I am booting from the ISO file itself which is on a multiboot USB drive.
In previous versions, you could boot to the shell, mount the ISO as /mnt
and then start the install by running unconfigured.sh.

So basically, if I boot to the shell, how can I start the install from the
contents of the CD/ISO.

Thanks
I tried that.
I made a new .sh from the portion of the initrd that mounts all the
squashfs files and runs unconfigured.sh.
It seems to almost work, but it gets to Detecting network settings... done
and then says
\nInstallation aborted - unable to continue

any ideas why?

Re: [PVE-User] sbin/unconfigured.sh

2017-05-19 Thread Steve
P.S.
As an experiment, I even inserted a dd'd flash drive containing the proxmox
ISO (which works if I boot to it) and then booted from my multiboot USB
drive to the shell and then mounted /mnt as the flash drive
mount /dev/sdc /mnt

then I ran the modified script.
I gave the same fail message.
So that seems to indicate that something is wrong with the script or
environment when I run the script?

The script I run starts with
if [ -f /mnt/pve-installer.squashfs ]; then
echo this is a Proxmox VE installation CD

if ! mount -t squashfs -o ro,loop /mnt/pve-base.squashfs
/mnt/.pve-base; then
debugsh_err_reboot "mount pve-base.squashfs failed"
fi

any ideas what is not set up before this?

Steve

Re: [PVE-User] Problem with vnc and arrow keys

2013-02-14 Thread Steve Weber
Hello,

we are trying to connect to linux containers not kvm's.
 
We found that the variable TERM becomes linux and not xterm.
A temporary fix is:
* connecting via vnc
* and then typing export TERM=xterm

How can we fix the cause of this?

Greetings Steve

Re: [PVE-User] Backup retention policy

2013-05-22 Thread Steve Audia
If it's just the rotation part you need, you could handle that on the
backup server side with a short script, copying the dailies into weekly
folders, weeklies into monthly folders, etc.

I know, rolling a custom script is something some want to avoid, but this
particular script would be very straight forward.  I've been using this
guy's strategy for years...

http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/

...and now that is rolled into a utility called rsnapshot (www.rsnapshot.org).
In this case, you would only use to rotate, though, not actually back up.

 Yes and delta backups.

 Ie.. full backup every week, then a delta backup every day.

 Thanks

  Hello people.
 
  I am seeing that Proxmox misses a very important features about backup
 retention.
 
  An example could be:
 
  - Last week,  N backup daily
  - Last month, N backup weekly
  - Last year,  N backup monthly
 
  So, with a total of 9 backups, I could have:
 
  - The last 3 daily backups
  - The last 3 weekly backups
  - The last 3 montly backups
 
  Another nice feature could be a pool selection of VM's to backup, so
 adding a VM in the pool will insert the VM in the backup schedule.
 
  Also the machine name in the backup file will be useful (i have already
 read about it in the mailing list).
 
  Thanks, Fabrizio

 Hello all,
 I tried the new proxmox 4.0 including lxc.
 I am 2 questions on it:
 - I saw it not possible to resize disk of an lxc container after
 creation, is it a restriction ?

 restore leads me to a TASK ERROR: Insecure dependency in unlink

Hey Jérémy,

Did you have any luck in migrating openvz to lxc ? I'm going from a 
host running 3.4 to 4.0 and get the same issue:

TASK ERROR: Insecure dependency in unlink while running with -T switch 
at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Tools.pm line 187.

Cheers and good luck I've been searching around for a fix :)
