[Unattended] winxpsp1-notips.pl

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
first thank you for this great work.
The winxpsp1-notips.pl do not work... I try to run it manual with perl
winxpsp1-notips.pl and through the base.bat directly (todo.pl
Z:\bin\winxpsp1-notips.pl). Any sugestions?

Re: [Unattended] German keyboard layout for Linux-based boot disk?

[Mario Gzuk]

Just do this under linux as root:
mount -o loop theunnattendedlinux.iso /mnt/myunattended

then copy the contents to /anywhere

edit the  /anywhere/isolinux/isolinux.cfg and add the kbd=de-latin1 to
the append line (also the z_user z_pass and so on)

then cd /anywhere and do this:
mkisofs -V myownunattended -o myownunattended.iso -b
isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size
4 -boot-info-table .

burn the new iso

 Hello Mario,
 
 thanks for your help.
 
 I changed the append line to look like this:
   append initrd=initrd, kbd=de-latin1, z_user=ingres, z_pass=Ingres, 
 z_path=//lapsm/install
 
 Have run mkisofs as you suggested and burned new bootable CD. 
 Unfortunately, now it claims
Could not find ramdisk image: initrd,
 
 What's wrong?
 
 By the way, is there any way to define a boot menu in the cfg file? I'd 
 like to have choice between enabled or disabled APIC. Yes, I know, I 
 could press shift key when booting...
 
 Regards
 Gerhard

Re: [Unattended] Automatically activate classic Win-2000-Look-and-Feel on Win-XP-Box?

[Mario Gzuk]

Yes there is. Please look at unattended.sourceforge.net. The better way
is to create a account make all settings you want and copy the files
under ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.LOG and ntuser.ini during the install in
the Default user profile, so all new users get this settings.

A detailed explain is under gruppenrichtlinien.de (i think u can read
the german text :-) )

 Is there any predefined script to automically do this with unattended? 
 Or any parameter in unattend.txt?

[Unattended] rename administrator account

[Mario Gzuk]

Here is some vbs scribt to rename the local Administrator account:

OldName = Administrator
NewName = nobodyknowsme
ContainerName = .
Set Container = GetObject(WinNT://  ContainerName)
Set User = GetObject(WinNT://  ContainerName  /  OldName
,user)
Set NewUser = Container.MoveHere(User.ADsPath, NewName)
Set User = Nothing

The question is how to handle it, with the renaming is the auto login
not working. Is there anybody who knows the registry key of the Account
name Administrator for auto login?

Just get this nice tool:
http://setacl.sourceforge.net/

Then you can use it to modify permissions (or acl´s) in the registry:

todo.pl start /wait %Z%\bin\SetACL.exe -on \HKLM\no\permissions\ -ot
reg -actn ace -ace \n:Users;p:full\ 

or for a file:
todo.pl start /wait %Z%\bin\SetACL.exe -on \C:\NTINST\ -ot file -actn
ace -ace \n:DOM\ADMINxyz;p:full\ 

more nice examples are at the webside. What a nice tool!

 Hey, i'd like to deploy a full unattended Samba PDC (primary domain

 I had a quick read-through your unattended project. It seems to fullfill my 
 dreams :-).
 
 But in fact i want to go for sure that it can handle all my needs. So here we 
 go:
 
 1. Is there a way to make a Win2000 client join to a Samba PDC without adding 
 a hard-written machine name to Samba's account system?
 
 Again, if you missunderstood. I'd like to autogenerate the client names, and 
 make them join to my domain. As i worked with Samba as a PDC, i had to 
 pre-add machine accounts to my Samba system to make the clients be able to 
 join the domain. I'd like to come across this problem.
 
 2. Is there an optition to auto-add a network printer share to each Win2000 
 client? 

 Thanks,

Re: [Unattended] Automatic Registry Permission tweaks

 This may be a little off topic, but I'm trying to use the TieRegistry  
 Registry Perl modules to make tweaks to the system registry as part of 
 my unattended install of WinXP Pro.  Part of my problem is that I don't 
 really understand how permissions are handled in the registry, and the 
 rest is that my perl is pretty weak...
 
 I need to be able to give certain domain groups extra permission on 
 certain keys.  Has anyone had any luck with tweaking registry 
 permissions this way??

[Unattended] Unattended GUI

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
I am working on a zope based gui software for unattended.
It is alpha state software at this time. Please take a look at the gui 
at http://www.technikz.de:8980 and log in with user unattended and 
password unattended. There are not much testing objects at this time, 
and it is only in german So please tell me  what you are thinking of 
it. It has also a managment to find the computers in a building (no

Here is some code which you can interact with the gui through the

Re: [Unattended] Read unattended.txt from database

[Mario Gzuk]

Remember, the z is mounted read only and the new unattended.txt (what I
want) will be stored in /tmp/unattended.txt because /tmp/ is writeable. 
It will be created from the computername:

wget http://intranet/getthe_unattended?comutername=MYNEWCOMPUTER -O
/tmp/unattended.txt

So the script on the webserver look in the database and return the
unattended.txt entry for the computer MYNEWCOMPUTER. 
The -O option store the content in the file /tmp/unattended.txt

only a preview. Please dont ask if something is not clear. 
Be aware, this is a mpeg4 decoded video with a size of 1400x1050.
Please use a video player which support this codec (e.g. xine or

 Is it possible?
  
  
  Yes, with a registry hack.
  
  
  After TightVNC is installed, you apply an registry patch which 
  contains your settings, including the password.
  
  The key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default
  
  the value is Password.
  
  It is encrypted - the easiest way is to use one installation of 
  tightvnc, set the desired password and then grab the encrypted value 
  from that registry.
 
 OK, but could you help me insterting this values into the registry - 
 also automatically, from a script?

[Unattended] Unattended GUI demo available

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
now its done. A demo is available at: http://www.technikz.de:8080/
features:
- Scripts in database (also for using without perl installed -- for the
post installation)
- The scripts get a priority which can be used to control the corect
order of the installation
- the scripts has also a dependence so you can control which software is
installed /needed by another one (e.g. gimp needs gtk...)
- unattend.txt for each Computer
- bind to LDAP / Active Directory (work in progress, authentication is
working)
- see self

The settings section doesnt work at this time. But as soon as possible
there will be the english language and other themes available.

So here are 3 accounts:
testuser, testuser2 and testuser3

each has the password unattended

Feel free to play around. I have a backup of the current state and it
will be restored every week.
Feel also free

If you want to see the installerscript do the following:

download wget and copy it to the %WINDIR%
http://www.technikz.de/down/wget.exe
http://www.technikz.de/down/libeay32.dll
http://www.technikz.de/down/ssleay32.dll

Then download the script:

http://www.technikz.de/down/wemerge.cmd

Play arround with the script and see how easy searching + installing can
be!

What you need to use the software:
- a browser (javascript enabled -- only for opening new windows and
creation of new locations)

Re: [Unattended] Unattended GUI demo available

[Mario Gzuk]

This is already an idea. I have swveral sulutions for that:

For every software installed from unattended create a extra key in the
registry. Like that:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
There for each entry a key:
DisplayName
UnattendedID here the id from the script

this can be made matching the DisplayName and the fieled Name im
System which is already in the database.
So you can get already installed machines and when installing software.

The service which Niels means can be provide by a already existing
service from M$.
The service runs with administrator rights and its so old that many
people forget that its exists.

so i tested it and it work!

Here comes up the solution:

write a script which called wget to get the installation from the GUI
and runs the todo.pl after that. Then make a at job as administrator:

at [[\\ComputerName] hours:minutes [/interactive]
[{/every:date[,...]|/next:date[,...]}] command]

So you can provide that a computer looks every day at 12:00 if there is
a software update/installation. And runs after that the installation.

I have also extended the scripts for the future, to uninstall the
software So you can get it to work with the gui.

 Is it possible to add one more thing to Unattended GUI:
 
 A service, added to each machine created with the help of Unattended, 
 which will check if software installed on each of these machines 
 matches a software database in Unattended GUI for a given machine / 
 machine profiles etc.
 
 I think it's a question that often occurs on the list: how to mass 
 update/install software on Windows machines in the network.
 
 If this feature would be present in Unattended (GUI), Unattended would 
 be a full-featured solution for mass install / software update of 
 Windows machines.
 
 What do you think?

 Hi,
 
 we are currently evaluating Unattended : seems great ! Our goal is to allow
 low-skilled users in our schools (collèges et lycées in french), to keep
 their bunches of PC fully functional.
 
 Thus, we'd want a zero-question deployment procedure for partitionning, and
 installing OS, drivers and standard application (OpenOffice etc.) Unattended
 do all of this, but still ask few questions : we filled unattended.csv (with
 name, ProductID, fdisk commands, etc.), but install.pl always ask for
 authorizations before formatting and writing MBR.
 
 The only way we found to override this behavior is to modify install.pl, and 
 we
 think this method is quite a dirty solution (espacially for upgrades to new
 Unattended version).
 
 Is there another way to achieve this point ?

[Unattended] RE: unattended + qemu + kqemu = success ;)

[Mario Gzuk]

 For those that want to test unattended in a virtual machine and dont
 get it to work with VMware, I advise to try Qemu and the recently released 
 KQemu module. (http://www.qemu.org)
 
 Very fast and best of all it works with the unattended linuxboot/dosemu (and
 it has snapshot support!)
 
 Tested with host on linux 2.6.10 and windows XP SP2 as guest OS
 
 --Wim Vandersmissen
 

Hi,
maybe you can give a little howto to make the dhcp working in qemu? This is the 
last problem which we have to solve.
Do you use vde for that? Or bridgeing?

I can agree with you, qemu with the acclerator is running very fast. Seems to 
be there are no differnce in speed between Qemu and vmware :-)

 I just use -user-net switch .. works like a charm

But with the -user-net you cant access the network (also not the domain
controler). Or do I anything wrong whith that?

[Unattended] Problem with computername

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
the following strange thing happens if we install a computer:

unattend.txt
---SNIP---
[UserData]
FullName = NNN
OrgName = XYZ
ProductID = x-x-x-x-x
ComputerName = anakonda
---SNAP---

After the installation the computer doesnt name anakonda.
The name is XYZ-csad98cds69dc. Is the name anakonda on the blacklist
from M$? Or why (tf) this happens? Anybody who has the same problem. The
problem is only on this computer. The same unattend.txt works on every
other computer.

 Anyone installing the Cisco VPN Client??
 
 I have been unable to get this thing to install for the longest time. After 
 getting fed up with it and watching the install process I realized that it is 
 failing during the install.  The client creates a fake network adapter to do 
 the vpn'ing with. When it creates this adapter it kills all other network 
 connections so the install fails because it can not reach the mounted Z 
 drive. :(
 
 I redid my script to xcopy everything over to the C drive, then run the 
 install from the local temp copy. I guess I'll see how it goes.
 
 Just wondering if anyone else is using the Cisco VPN client, and if so how 
 you install it with unattended.
 
 Thanks!

[Unattended] Unattended bootcd/PXE (gentoo based) 0.1 released

[Mario Gzuk]

New realease of the unattended-gui bootcd/PXE:

http://unattended.technikz.de/index.php/Main_Page#2006-09-01_unattended-gui_boot-cd_0.1

Feel free to test it.
The main goal is to replace the dosemu, because in this state it is only
possible to install 32 bit Windows. In the future we hope to be able to
also install 64bit and (i hope) Windows Vista (32/64bit). Please tell us
your ideas and/or discuss the current ideas on the unattended-gui
mailing list.
We are also testing with some direct boot via NFS. If you have comments
and suggestions feel free to discuss with us on the unattended-gui
mailing list.

In the current release there are also the patches which are described
here: http://ubertechnique.com/unattended/NTLDRNotFound.

If you ran into problems, there is an script integrated for sending an
error report. Just call ist in this way:
sh /usr/bin/errorreport
The script will ask you what you want to send. The mail goes up to a
mailing list on sourceforge (check the source for more informations). We
will hope to provide a better support with this.

greetings mario


BTW: If there is someone which has a good knowledge about the bootstrap
code in a fat32 partition feel free to contact me directly.

Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
this could be a problem of your lease times 
If you are running ISC DHCP you should use this options in your
configuration:

dynamic-bootp-lease-length 10

If you are running some other DHCP server you should consult the manual
to avoid this errors.

I dont think that this is a problem of the gentoo boot cd. Maybe you can
also check if the lease is released for this IP address?

 Thanks Sebastian,
 
I have tried the new boot cd from the link you sent. It appears that
 this new kernel now recognizes my boot disk (I have a /sys/block/sda).
 However, I seem to have a new problem. I am using PXE boot and when the
 gentoo kernel tries to get a dhcp address, it fails stating the address
 is in use. This is not the case and I have not seen this behavior with
 any of the other boot disks. During the initial PXE boot, the node gets
 an IP address without any issue. 
 
I have also tried running dhcpcd manually from the kernel and I get
 the same response. What could be causing this? Is there a problem with
 the DHCP client software in this kernel?
 
Thanks,

mmm What dhcp-server you are using? The gentoo boot-cd use an other
dhcp client. Maybe here is the problem.
You can fill out a bug report for this client software here:
http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=4229

I have decide to use dhcpcd because it is in active development, the
last offical release from udhcp was in 2002 

But if more and more people running into problems with that I will
update the boot stuff and place also udhcp on it If you want this

 Thanks Mario,
 
No dice on the lease time. I set the default lease time to 10 and
 still have the problem.
 
 Running dhcpd in debug mode, it appears as if the dhcp server does offer
 the client an IP address, but the client seems to think the address is
 already in use in the DHCPDISCOVER routine. The offer from the server is
 therefore rejected and it keeps looping in this manner. The original
 boot cd that came with unattended 4.6 did not have this issue (it got an
 IP address during the PXE boot and received the address once it booted
 to the kernel).
 
   Thanks,
Bryan

 Sebastian and Mario, thanks for your help.
 
 Here are the steps I took to resolve the problem:
 
 1. Used the latest boot kernel from Unattended-gui, which contained
 drivers from my hardware
 2. Unarchived the uaroot boot image
-mkdir /tmp/initrd
-cd /tmp/initrd
-gzip -dc /tftpboot/uaroot | cpio -id
 3. To get dhcp to work:
-added dhclient and dhclient-scripts commands to /tmp/initrd/sbin
 from a redhat box
-created the /tmp/initrd/var/lib/dhcp/ directory and dhcpd.leases
 file beneath it
-edited /tmp/initrd/etc/master to enable running of dhclient instead
 of dhcpcd:
   #dhcpcd -t 20 -i $i  $LOGTTY 21
   dhclient  $LOGTTY 21
 4. Edited /tmp/initrd/usr/bin/find-boot-device to include FIBRE disk
 interfaces as seen in post
 http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04222.html
 5. Re-archived the image
-cd /tmp/initrd
-find . | cpio -H newc -o  /tftpboot/uaroot
 
 I am now presented with the unattended partitioning scheme prompt when I
 boot.
 
 Hardware: IBM LS20 Blade (unattended server and client nodes) with
 qlogic fibre interface card to disk array
 OS: RHEL 4 update 2 (server)
 Software: Unattended-4.6 using kernel from

 dhcp-3.0.1-12 rpm

 I've tried 4.6, 4.7pre (the latest one I'm aware of anyway), and the new 
 1.0gentoo. No dice.
 
 Using 4.6 and 4.7pre, I get the following that seems pertinent?
 
 (large amount of text blurs past at high speed)
 ...
 01:00.0 Class 0200: 8086:108c (rev 03)
 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 108c (rev 03)
 ...
 
 Using 1.0gentoo, I get the following that seems pertinent?
 
 (large amount of text blurs past at high speed)
 ...
 NET: Registered protocol family 1
 NET: Registered protocol family 10
 IP6 over IP4 tunnelling driver
 NET: Registered protocol family 17
 ...
 Welcome to unattended [powered by gentoo].
 ...
 * Mounting /sys.. [ok]
 * Setting up Hardware.. [ok]
 * Test for Mass Storage.. [fail]
 * Force loading modules.. [ok]
 * Loading USB modules.. [ok]
 
 Both then proceed to and fail to find eth0, eth1 and eth2. Linux drops 
 to shell at this point. Gentoo proceeds with trying to mount the share 
 anyway (and fails). The gentoo version's error report tool of course 
 needs a working net connection...
 
 I'm guessing the problem is the same - no support for the 945G's onboard 
 NIC - but how to fix this is way over my head; so far I've only learnt 
 the foggiest of how to even begin messing with initrd. Would rather not 
 have to go back to the XP CD. :)
 
 Any suggestions?

Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk - Solved

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi Bryan,
I have included your workaround as a fallback into the master script for
the unattended-gui boot cd. It will be included in the next release
coming up in the next weeks.
There will also support for Installing XP 64 bit.

greetings mario

 Sebastian and Mario, thanks for your help.
 
 Here are the steps I took to resolve the problem:
 
 1. Used the latest boot kernel from Unattended-gui, which contained
 drivers from my hardware
 2. Unarchived the uaroot boot image
-mkdir /tmp/initrd
-cd /tmp/initrd
-gzip -dc /tftpboot/uaroot | cpio -id
 3. To get dhcp to work:
-added dhclient and dhclient-scripts commands to /tmp/initrd/sbin
 from a redhat box
-created the /tmp/initrd/var/lib/dhcp/ directory and dhcpd.leases
 file beneath it
-edited /tmp/initrd/etc/master to enable running of dhclient instead
 of dhcpcd:
   #dhcpcd -t 20 -i $i  $LOGTTY 21
   dhclient  $LOGTTY 21
 4. Edited /tmp/initrd/usr/bin/find-boot-device to include FIBRE disk
 interfaces as seen in post
 http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04222.html
 5. Re-archived the image
-cd /tmp/initrd
-find . | cpio -H newc -o  /tftpboot/uaroot
 
 I am now presented with the unattended partitioning scheme prompt when I
 boot.
 
 Hardware: IBM LS20 Blade (unattended server and client nodes) with
 qlogic fibre interface card to disk array
 OS: RHEL 4 update 2 (server)
 Software: Unattended-4.6 using kernel from
 http://unattended.technikz.de/index.php/Main_Page#2006-09-01_unattended-gui_, 
 dhcp-3.0.1-12 rpm

Re: [Unattended] unattended+mysql+defaults

Hi,
You need this key because the setup will ask you if this string is
empty. So you HAVE TO define it.
The windows setup will ask you which Domain/Workgroup to join if this

 I have a batch file that is called copy-i386.bat which looks like that.
 
 :: OPTIONAL: copy i386 to local machine
 :: @Echo off
 
 echo %OS_MEDIA%
 
 todo.pl xcopy %OS_MEDIA%\i386 c:\

The first thing is that you have a wrong escaping:
c:\ means that the last  is quoted. Its aslo better to escape the vars
because you dont know if there might be white space in it. Just try
this:

todo.pl xcopy \%OS_MEDIA%\i386\ c:\ 

Or maybe whithout the todo.pl stuff:
xcopy %OS_MEDIA%\i386 c:\

 The variable comes out empty when it runs, even the echo.
 
 What am I missing?

 Hi Peter,
 
 creating some kind of Unattended appliance is a nice idea and I have
 serious interest in creating (or contributing to) such an appliance.
 
 The appliance should be preconfigured with a working Samba server that
 will have an install share with the typical subfolders scripts,
 packages and so on.
 
 I would concentrate exclusively on application deployment and do not
 care about OS deployment, see my previous post here:
 http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06776.html
 
 There are two types of appliances I could imagine:
 - creating a complete virtual machine with Linux + Samba
+ install share
pro: very easy to get it running
con: quite a big file to distribute, any minor change would
mean to repackage and redistribute the whole thing


Just an idea, what about the snapshot feature? Maybe there is a way to
distribute only the snapshot as an update and only for a new release the
whole thing...

Re: [Unattended] xp64

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,

win32.exe
Feel free to look at the following informations:
http://unattended.technikz.de/index.php/Win:installation_process
and the code:

 Interesting, how the problem that xp64 install doesn't run from dos or
 win32 
 has been solved ?

Re: [Unattended] find-boot-device failed - init13_dev80 (unattended / unattended-gui)

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
please use the mailing list from unattended-gui for problems related on
this project.


The edd module is obsolete and will be removed from the kernel in the
near future. The unattended-gui.sourceforge.net with the profile
unattended-gui is designed to dont use this stuff. 
Here the info from the module:
---SNIP
Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
BIOS tries boot from.  This information is then exported via sysfs.
This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
not yet implement this feature.
---SNAP

You can do the check the following:
is the edd module loaded:
# lsmod

If the edd module is loaded and the file /sys/firmware/edd/init13_dev80
doesnt exist the find-boot-device will fail. This can be if the bios
boots from non-local device. I have update the 2 profiles in svn that
they have a fallback function. Please report if this is working for you.

 So I downloaded and mounted the unattended-gui z drive instead:
 /z/

 init.sh gets called ok now
 The script then calls /z/etc/init/profiles/unattended

 However line 23 of this script calls hda=`find-boot-device` || die

 This is where my install stops -

 But this doesn;t seem to exist
 
 I'd appreciate any help resolving this (dell D620)

Re: [Unattended] nLite, Unattended-gui, and DriverPacks almost working..but

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi Eric,
yes we have a solution. If you use the DriverPacks you will have a
winnt.sif in you i386 Folder. The problem is that first the winnt.sif is
created and after that the copy starts. So if you have an winnt.sif in
your i386 it will overwrite the generated one. I will correct this in
the scripts soon. For the first time simple remove the winnt.sif in your
i386 Folder.

 Hello all,
 
 I have gotten a bit farther with my setup using the aforementioned
 tools, but I have run into a very irritating problem now that I cannot
 figure out how to resolve. My procedure is as follows:
 
 1. ) I create a nLite distribution of W2K3 Standard, then slipstream
 the SP2 into the release.
 2. ) I then run the DriverPacks program against it, trying both method 1 and 
 2.
 3. ) I then upload the new distribution I386 tree with OEM, etc up to
 my linux server which is hosting the DHCP/TFTP/PXE
 4. ) I then PXE boot my client system using the unattended-gui
 ua-0.50root and kernel, which works really well (thnx Mario!!)
 5. ) It selects a modified unattended-gui profile, that selects a
 precreated unattend.txt/winnt.sif file with KEY, passwords, etc.
 6. ) It does all the copying to the local hard drive at which point it
 completes successfully and then I reboot the client.
 7. ) The system comes up and runs the TXTMODE install and loads the
 the drivers from the DriverPacks..
 8. ) This is where the problem happensafter loading all drivers,
 it then starts up the Windows Setup...and asks for my CD!!
 
 Does anyone know how to fix this so the setup knows that its running
 from the local drive %systemdrive%, i suppose, instead of looking for
 a cdrom?
 
 Any help would be appreciated, as I have been searching everywhere to
 resolve this issue.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Eric

 Any other ideas? :|

:-) I have a lot of ideas, sometimes to much :-\

The first for this case is (because you see always the db-settings page
and no error...). This function checks if you set:
$dbhost!=  $dbuser!=  $dbpass!=  $dbname!=  $dbtype!=
That means you can not use empty passwords, or any other empty settings.
Have you filled out any value in every field?

Hi Paul,
that is strange. It is the same master file, the same bash version and
the same isolinux version. Is it possible that you can send me your
isolinux.cfg? You can remove the pasword, but I want to take a look into
the file and try to test it...
Which editor do you use? With which method you rebuild the cd?

 Hi,
 
 after I managed to fix the HDD detection problems with the help of Mario I 
 ran into a few more problems on the way.
 
 1. I have the following line in my isolinux.cfg on the boot-cd:
   LABEL local
 MENU LABEL ^Next boot device in line
 MENU DEFAULT
 LOCALBOOT -1
 After selecting this entry in the boot menu I get PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT 
 instead of the pc booting from the next boot device. This kinda defeats the 
 whole purpose of this entry. :/ Any ideas?

Take a look here:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#LOCALBOOT_type_.5BISOLINUX.2C_PXELINUX.5D

 
 2. After booting into the unattended mode dosemu starts and i get the 
 following message:
 
 By continuing execution of this program, you are stating that you have read 
 the file COPYING and the above liability disclaimer and that you accept these 
 conditions.
 Enter 'yes' to confirm/continue:
 
 ... This also kinda deafeats the whole unattended idea. :/ I don't remember 
 this message popping up with any of my older boot-cds though. Any idea on how 
 to get rid of this message?
 

Fill out a feature request on:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unattended-gui/
I hope I will not forget to add this feature for the next release. I
dont have the time to test the old unattended-project related
things-..

 3. I've got the following line in my config.pl in the site directory:
   system cp -r /z/os/drivers/drivers /c/drivers;
 When I only have the GeForce drivers in the /z/os/drivers/drivers/ directory 
 they copy just fine onto the local harddisk but as soon as I stuff more 
 drivers into the directory (don't know what the limit is yet), the whole 
 unattended setup dies after partitioning the local drive and before Windows 
 starts copying it files onto the local drive. The problem here is that the 
 script dies and immediately reboots the machine so I can't see what error the 
 script threw or why the script actually died. :/ Any ideas on this issue?

dont know the answer

HI,
there is a bug in the kernel I think. It only accept up to 137 chars via
the command line. I only affects the 0.5.1. An update will be available
soon. But it should work if you run through the dialogs... Have you
checked the log on tty4 and 5? Maybe there is an other error?

 The machine boots up fine but when it asks for the z mount and I enter 
 the path, user, and password then it loops again.  It appears that I 
 cannot enter anything onto the password line (guest).  I have tried 
 passing the appropriate arguments on the append line in

 Thank you.

[Unattended] Unattended-gui boot-cd v0.6

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
new release of the boot-cd is available:
http://unattended.technikz.de/index.php/Main_Page#2007-12-21_unattended-gui_boot-cd_0.6

Now the udev is working correctly. The hardware dedection now works much 
better. 
On our tested systems there is no more need for force loading modules.
I have also replaced the e1000 driver, so there might be a problem on the 
Lenovo T60.
Maybe someone can test that and send a report to me.

I wish you a merry Christmas and a good start for the next year!
Thank you all for bug reporting, testing and your help!

Re: [Unattended] RAID on the Dell Optiplex GX755

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi Paul!
The raid is no hardware raid. It needs a software to work. For windows
there is an driver, but not really for linux.
The only one is this:
It is possible to use Device Mapper (DM) and dmraid:
http://people.redhat.com/~heinzm/sw/dmraid/
The following ATARAID types are supported:
Adaptec HostRAID ASR
Highpoint HPT37X
Highpoint HPT45X
Intel Software RAID
JMicron JMB36x
LSI Logic MegaRAID
NVidia NForce
Promise FastTrack
Silicon Image Medley
SNIA DDF1
VIA Software RAID

But: This is Alpha software and it can destroy your data!

See also: http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html

I have no test system to integrate this into the boot-cd but I can
install it and give a special release to you. WDYT?

 Hi guys,
 
  
 
 Has anyone tried using unattended on a Dell OptiPlex GX755 with RAID
 (mirroring)? My colleague has just tried to install a PC this way, and
 the following seems to happen:
 
  
 
 ·The unattended kernel boots, and recognises sda and sdb (not
 a mapper device, i.e. the RAID volume)
 
 ·It installs to sda, and then reboots
 
 ·The RAID chipset then gets confused and refuses to  boot past
 the RAID portion of BIOS, probably because linux has mashed the RAID
 volume by installing on one disk only. Sometimes I get this error:
 “partition table != 55AA”
 
  
 
 The only way to get the machine to boot after that is to remove the
 disks from the RAID volume, and then re-create it.
 
  
 
 I’m guessing the I need to add logical volume support to the kernel –
 can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have any other suggestions.
 
  
 
 I’m booting via PXE, using the ua-0.5.0 ISO image.
 
  
 
 Thanks,

Re: [Unattended] WG: ntfs

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
it should not depend on dosemu, the windows installer should support
ntfs. If you can remember your last non-unattended installation: you can
format a drive with ntfs for the installation. So it is supported by the
windows installer. Also the installation with the nt5install script
should work, but the boocode is different and in other sectors than in
FAT32. So just take a look here:
http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs-partition-boot-sector.htm

To extract the boot code from an exisiting ntfs-partition:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=bootstrap_vista_sektor_1.bin bs=1 skip=84 count=426
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=bootstrap_vista_sektor_2.bin bs=1 skip=512 count=7680
Restore in the other way and with seek insted skip.

You will need the following packages on the boot-cd:
ntfs-3g (http://www.ntfs-3g.org) (for mounting/writing)
ntfsprogs (http://www.linux-ntfs.org/) for formatting
fuse (for ntfs-3g)

It would not work with the dos bootdisks, but if you integrate an ntfs
driver for dos (there was an comercial version from sysinternals.com,
but sysinternals is moved to the microsoft site... and now I cant dfind
the ntfsdos an more... ).

Hope this spend some time for you

 As mentioned before, it would be nice, if we could hold existing NTFS

 My question is: Why doesn't that work? Does DOSEMU don't like it?
 The Kernel supports NTFS a longer time ago and since a while it also has a
 good writing-support.
 
 Would be usefull if we could just format drive c/1st Partition and keep the

Hi Anders,
as you can see here:

the correct option is SKIP_CHECK_MOUNT=1.

The dialog to setup your z-mount is started if the mount of the z share

The profile=unattended will not work anymore. As I wrote I have removed

Re: [Unattended] unattended virtual Appliance

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
so now I think its time to say some thing about  I feel like I am in
a kindergarten on this list if I read the messages the last 2-3 days.
Can you tell me how old you are? Or better leave it unanswered to me an
answer yourself. (And I mean not only ONE person, everybody should think
about it)

Kerr Avon, maybe you have ever read the GPL?:
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

So this gives you the answer WHY anybody can do with your virtual
machine what he want because you have published it and the software in
it is mainly GPL Licenced. It not depend that the software you use for
creating this stuff is not free (but if you can read, there are a lot
of free tools from vmware (e.g vmware-server) which ARE free). 
And it also do not depend that it took you time and patience to complete
this project. If you have write own scripts in this virtual machine
you can set them under an other licence. And it is NOT your own script
if you write a smb.conf for samba, because this is part of the GPL
licenced software.
Think a little bit about open source and the mind behind the idea of
free software. I hope your knowledge will be helpful for the project in
the future! So simple throwaway all bad words from both sides and try to
work together!

I think we all want only one thing. And that is: make the life easy. M
$ and other affiliated groups make us the work hard enough, so lets pull
ourself together and work against the bad job from the others...

I hope no one feels defensive while reading this text, if so I want to
say sorry. But this are only facts.

Re: [Unattended] 4.8 Release Candidate1

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi Nils,
thank you for your tribute. I can give it back to this great project
which gives me some very nice ideas! Sharing knowledge is essential for
the life in OpenSource. So you dont need to buy me a beer if you meet
me ;-)
I have also find a way to install Vista/2008 through linux, with the
availability to add on-the-fly drivers to the image without the need
to reimage. The first short points are available here:
http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Win:installation_process_vista

I am very busy this time to complete the script, because I am working on
a new release of unattended-gui. I hope the short overview give you some
hints about the workflow.

The unattended-gui project has some other goals than this project but I
hope we still work together in the future.

For some of the features in unattended-gui (sorry for the advertising):
- first webapplication wich has an online update feature
- easy to use APIs
- integration in nearly every authentification system
- the application addapts to your infrastructure, you dont have to
addapt your infrastructure to the application
unattended modules:
- live cicle managment: availability to update the software if a new
version is available
- online sync and share software repositorys:
http://www.technikz.de/down/sync_repo_1.swf
http://www.technikz.de/down/sync_repo_2.swf
- online sync os and harddisk templates
- avialablility to install several linux and windows unattended
(multiboot also possible)
- computer managment with the availability to use searchgroups and
much more
addon modules:
- switch/patchpanel managment with error reporting ans snmp viewing
- syslog-ng centralisied syslog managment with configuration and
availability to manage and search across more than one syslog server
- ldap manager (edit view copy move objects etc...)
- central cron managment
- php-ssh client
- inventory
- a gui for samhain (http://www.la-samhna.de/samhain/)
- Locations managment
- dhcp ldap to manage your dhcp configuration in a ldap server
- dns ldap to manage your dns domains in a ldap server (work in
progress)

Because of the avialability from the unattended project to use the
config.pl to get the informations from a database it is also possible to
let both projects live in the same environment.

There are o lot of modules which are planed for the future. All this
should help to get the hands over your network configuration and
managment. Developers (mainly php and bash) are welcome to join this
project.

The code is growing to fast to stay up to date with the documentation
(which is realy bad at this time...). So everyone is welcome who is
interessted in this and want to support with some lines of documentaion.

Special thanks to Andreas Nick, Sebastian Mellmann, Peter Huber, Paul
Lewis, Jan Klopfleisch and all other who helped whith testing and error
reporting on this project.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi,
black screen means in the most cases that the boot code in the active
partition has errors or can not be accessed.

  If I use unattended, I get to the first reboot, and the the computer

 I have seen this, I had to zero out the mbr and partition table:
 
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk count=1024 
 (not tested, Im not sure of the count parameter)
 
 The big question is why this happens..
 (or if its the same issue for you)

Main Features:

* update software if a new version is available
* softwareinstallations via http
* software repositorys can be synced from every place
# http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/index.php?title=Video:sync_repo2
# http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/index.php?title=Video:sync_repo1

* Multilanguage support in the GUI
* Online update possible, no more need to make a new installation of the GUI
* Highly customizable

I have build a vmware machine where all features are available. Feel free to 
ask me for the link.
The vmware image is free and there is only OpenSource software (mainly GPL 
licensed) installed.
The vmware image is based on gentoo (http://gentoo.org), a high customizable 
Linux system.
You will run through a setup for the first boot where you can chooce:
- the unattended user (if you have one you can use this, if not chooce uauser!)
- the unattended users password (if you have one you can use this, if not 
chooce unattended-gui!)
- the location of your install SMB server (if you have one you can use this, if 
not chooce the IP or name of this machine, you will be asked for IP/Name later)
- the location of the GUI install (should be for this case the IP or the name 
of this machine)
- Run through a short network setup
- You are asked if you want to start LDAP/SAMBA/TFTP and DHCP (DHCP can be 
started later - only start it if you know what you are doing... the dhcp is 
preconfigured and can make trouble in your network)

The image contains:
- a samba server (for WinOS and Win-Software installations) preconfigured for 
the use of unattended or unattended-gui
- a tftp Server with a menu based boot menu including unattended-boot 0.7, 
memtest and other features for PXE/BootP booting
- a DHCP Server
- a WEBserver with an complete and ready to use unattended-gui installation 
(version 1.708)
- a Mysql Server

For more informations use the sf.net mailing list or contact me directly.

Also new release of the boot-cd is available:
http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/index.php?title=Main_Page#2008-04-18_unattended-gui_boot-cd_0.8

Changes:
  * kernel 2.6.25
  * e1000 driver version: 8.0.1

Thank you all for bug reporting, testing and your help!

Have a nice weekend!
