For what it is worth, confluent does have support for Ubuntu 22.04 deployment.
As noted, Ubuntu dropped support for debian-installer in 20.04 and so the support was added for subiquity installer. ________________________________ From: Nathan A Besaw via xCAT-user <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, July 24, 2023 10:43 AM To: xCAT Users Mailing list <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: Nathan A Besaw <bes...@us.ibm.com> Subject: [External] Re: [xcat-user] problem with genimage ubuntu22.04 LTS xCAT does not have official support for Ubuntu 20 or Ubuntu 22. There were significant changes in the Ubuntu install process that occurred between Ubuntu 18 and Ubuntu 20. xCAT community contributors made some contributions to improve the xCAT support for Ubuntu 20, but additional effort is needed to make it work in a seamless fashion. If you look at the test matrix for the most recent xCAT release, you can see which OSes should be expected to work without additional effort: https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/wiki/XCAT_2.16.5_Release_Notes#test-environment ________________________________ From: Jeff Berry <jeff.be...@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk> Sent: Monday, July 24, 2023 9:35 AM To: xCAT Users Mailing list <xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [xcat-user] problem with genimage ubuntu22.04 LTS Following myself up here – some progress, but still running into issues.

It seems like the repo data is not getting passed into the image creation properly (or is not working for some other reason). Essentially every package in the pkglist fails. It is possible to probable that I’ve got the local repo incorrectly configured. The install guide - https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/install-guides/apt/prepare_mgmt_node.html#configure-the-base-os-repository – is for Ubuntu 18.04, and I’ve been using it as a guide, but with no luck. I’ve tried genimage with and without the -m flag with no luck. Inside the rootimg the /etc/apt/sources.list has this entry: deb http://<IPREDACTED>:80/install/ubuntu22.04.2/x86_64<http://%3CIPREDACTED%3E:80/install/ubuntu22.04.2/x86_64> jammy main If I chroot to the image, apt fails, unless I bind mount the external /dev into the image, then at least I can see the repo, and apt-update gives me some info about packages, but there’s something off about the way it’s handling the repos when building the image. Any thoughts, anyone?

The xcat install itself seems fine – lsxcatd -v Version 2.16.5 (git commit b588632f2fa62f34e658f2f0b1d12ad07201f981, built Fri Mar 3 09:07:25 EST 2023) The first problem was that there was no .pkglist file for ubuntu22 in the /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/ubuntu directory, so I copied the file for ubuntu20 and tried genimage again, but it keeps erroring out. genimage -o ubuntu22.04.2 -m ubuntu20.04_compute01 OS: ubuntu22.04.2 Available Profiles for ubuntu22.04.2: cbsu compute cudafull cudaruntime Which profile do you want to use for ubuntu22.04.2?

Unable to find package list for compute! at ./genimage line 74.. There’s a rootimg where I expect it, but no ramdisks. It feels like I’m missing something obvious, but neither my notes from a few years ago or anything I can find in the documentation is helping me see what I’m missing ... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Jeff Berry Computer Officer, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit
