autoinstall question
This document : The obvious data file we have to add to the ISO is our autoconfigure file. However, it has to be set up in a directory for itself and a companion file, and each has to be called special names. Let's say that the directory within the ISO that we're going to use for this is called /cslab/inst. Then our autoinstall configuration file must be called /cslab/inst/user-data, and we need an empty /cslab/inst/meta-data file beside it. At install time, the path to this directory is /cdrom/cslab/inst, because the ISO is mounted on /cdrom. (I put our configuration in a subdirectory here because we put additional bootstrap files under /cslab that are copied onto the system as part of the autoinstall.) The isolinux configuration file we need to modify in the ISO is /isolinux/txt.cfg. We want to modify the kernel command line to add a new argument, 'ds=nocloud;s=/cdrom/cslab/inst/'. So: default live label live menu label ^Install Ubuntu Server kernel /casper/vmlinuz append initrd=/casper/initrd quiet ds=nocloud;s=/cdrom/cslab/inst/ --- gives a PATH to /cdrom/cslab/inst and the file "has" to be named user-data (in this example) WHY? how do I support Multiple selections on the txt.cfg file I am not getting "nothing" happening for autoinstall. I need more than one file not just user-data. How do I do that? My file is placed at /cdrom/autoinstall_mediacontroller_ubutu20.yaml my txt.cfg file is : label LSI-M menu label ^Install Ubuntu MediaController 20.04 LSI AutoInstall kernel /casper/vmlinuz append initrd=/casper/initrd debian-installer/local=en_US autoinstall ds=nocloud;s=/cdrom/autoinstall_mediacontroller_ubuntu20.yaml quiet splash biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 --- I get the boot menu - I select my item - nothing auto install happens - it just boots to the normal stuff. I based off of live-server-20.04 Thanks, Jerry -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Re: Kickstart how to detect disks 20.04 LTS
Correct. I am trying to determine the correct disk vda/sda/nvme and then the size. blockdev --getsz /dev/vda in the %pre section did nothing. Perhaps something is not available yet at boot for this to work.

Re: Kickstart how to detect disks 20.04 LTS
Thank you - however this does not seem to be true. I am a long time CentOS user - and this document seems good for CentOS. - noted However- just something like "editors" that are supposed to be available it says Vi. It is not available on Ubunutu duing install only nano. - ithink tiny vim and nano is included. However - looks like blockdev is available and will tell me the size. That will work. Perfect.

Bug#979436: resolvconf: Missing cleanup for obsolete dnscache conffile
Package: resolvconf Version: 1.86 Severity: normal Hi! This package used to ship the /etc/resolvconf/update.d/dnscache conffile, which stopped being shipped in version 1.75, but the conffile was never cleaned up in the maintainer scripts, so it is left behind in the system and marked as obsolete in the dpkg database.

Re: Ubuntu 20.04 kickstart
live supports autoinstall with simple yaml files to describe the install which are a lot more simple than either kickstart or preseed. Have you looked into https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall and does that at all fit your needs? Alternatively if you have more than 3 servers to provision, have you tried MAAS? https://maas.io/ it's a small snap that allows programmatically deploy, and redeploy, any Ubuntu any CentOS etc. In a reproducible way.

Kickstart how to detect disks 20.04 LTS
How do you "detect" disks in the %pre section of kickstart ??? I have tried fdisk - command not available I tried ln busybox to fdisk and it says applet not available. I tried dmesg | grep vda and dmesg | grep sda - seems as linux has not yet detected teh disk during the pre section... So how do I determine the DISK I want to install on - and also the size ?
