Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Preseed - Incorrect CD-ROM

Jun 4, 2010

I'm trying to preseed a 10.04 install, and it's giving me a lot of trouble. I've been using [url] as a guide, but I can't seem to make it work.

I have ripped the x64 alternate install .iso to my hard drive, inserted the preseed files (details on this later) and remastered and burned the iso. When I put the disc into my test PC, it boots up to the CD, checks for English keyboard, enters my custom install option and then fails. It brings up a red screen that says, "Incorrect CD-ROM detected. The CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for installation. Please insert a suitable CD to continue with the installation."

The way I've understood the documentation is that there are 2 files that needed edited, and one file that needs created: edit /isolinux/text.cfg, edit /isolinux/isolinux.cfg, and create /preseed.cfg

Here is what I currently have in those files:

Code:

Code:

Code:

The preseed.cfg is 95% copied from the ubuntu documentation, I've only made the changes that are necessary. I'll admit I do not know what most of the boot parameters in the /isolinux/text.cfg file mean.

Ubuntu Installation :: Preseed No Network Interfaces Detected

Feb 17, 2010

I am trying to preseed the UBUNTU 9.04 x86 installer and everything else is okay except that for some systems, it says "No Network Interfaces found" with options as "Continue" and "Go Back". My network interface detection is set to "auto" in my preseed file. I want to remove this popup. Can someone please help with the correct line in preseed.cfg?

Ubuntu :: Preseed Installation Asks Ready To Install?

Sep 21, 2010

I've generated a preseed for my Ubuntu Lucid installation, its loading ubiquity automatically (from kernel parm automatic-ubiquity) and it fills in all the values from the preseed file its given. However it displays the Ubiquity page "Ready to Install" (I am using the kubuntu ubiquity package) and I have to click the button install for it to start. How can I get it to skip this and just start installing?

I'm having trouble installing likewise open through preseed.I'v used the example from https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/instal...le-preseed.txt as the source of my preseed file.It works just fine installing openssh, smbfs and libpam-mount.

Debian Installation :: Preseed Hostname Reconfiguration

Aug 25, 2014

I'm trying to create preseed configuration for debian. Currently I'm working with Debian version: 7 (wheezy), Installer build: 20130613+deb7u2+b1.

What I want to achieve is to have different network configuration than during installation.

I have two preseed files, one in intrd and the second that is fetched through http (url argument to kernel)

In the initrd file there are settings required to get dhcp network settings that will be used during installation:

Code: Select alld-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain

Then in the preseed file that is downloaded from network i have this:

Code: Select alld-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto
d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true

d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.56.199
d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0

[Code] ....

IP address settings work as expected, at the end of the installation netcfg runs again and when installed system boots it has static address set (.199). However hostname stays the same, it is not reconfigured.

I have tried many different combinations like removing get_hostname and get_domain options form initrd preseed and appending 'priority=critical' to kernel boot arguments but no matter what I do it always fails.

Is there any way to do this? I know that hostname can be set by hostname= krenel boot arg or by using dhcp option but I'd like to avoid this.

Debian Installation :: Cannot Preseed Language / Country / Locate

Dec 14, 2014

I'm booting a usb stick with a custom initrd.gz, which contains a preseed.cfg at /. This preseed.cfg has the following initial lines:

d-i debian-installer/language string en

But the installer keeps asking for language/country/locale.

Debian Installation :: Preseed : Keyboard Config Not Taken Into Account?

Jul 7, 2011

I'm trying to automate Squeeze 6 installation with preseed.cfg, but the keyboard configuration (fr) is not taken into account.Given the debconf logs, it seems that the language is set before preseed.cfg is read. So I added "console-keymaps-at/keymap=fr locale=fr_FR" to the syslinux.cfg kernel line.That skips the installer keyboard selection page. But in debconf logs I can seed "Setting debconf/language to en".What am I doing wrong ?Here are the related options I set in preseed.cfg. I can't find an exhaustive debconf options list, and their exact meaning ; does anyone know of one ?d-i debian-installer/locale string fr

# The values can also be preseeded individually for greater flexibility.
d-i debian-installer/language string fr
d-i debian-installer/country string FR

Debian Installation :: Preseed Install Of 8.2 Amd 64 Fails To Wait For DHCP

Oct 9, 2015

I've run into a situation where when performing a pxe/preseed install the system boots up into the install without issue, getting a dhcp address, then the installer begins to configure the network and it gets to where it request a dhcp address and it instantly fails the install stating that we are either not using dhcp or it's slow.

I've added d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 600 to the preseed file but it doesn't seem to be honoured here since it doesn't wait 600 seconds before failing. I have 2 other identical systems that install using the same preseed file but the installer completes as expected. This system has no issues installing centos just debian fails. I did try, once the install failed, to switch to the console and run udhcpc and the server received the address reserved for it.

Is there a method to force debian installer to wait a bit longer for the dhcp server besides what I've already done?

Ubuntu Installation :: Preseed-file Not Working As Expected On Lucid Desktop Install - Read

Jul 30, 2010

I have a problem to get it to work. The installer seems to read the preseed-file alright, and some of the values defined in the preseed-file are taken into account. The questions regarding locale, keyboard layout and time zone are answered using the preseed-file, but in the user account creation-step the process goes wrong. The Full name-field is obtained from the preseed-file, but the login-name is generated by the installer and not read from the preseed. Also the password-fields are empty and not filled in. Also the script that I've defined with preseed/late_command is never run.

I tried searching the forums but no-one had exactly this kind of problem, so it makes me think that this has to be some trivial error I'm doing. Could someone take a look at these configs and see if there's something wrong with them? How should I continue resolving this?

Ubuntu Installation :: Incorrect Filesystem Size After Clone?

Mar 17, 2010

Question:Several months ago I upgraded my hard drive on a dual boot machine (xp & U9.10 - both 64bit) from approx 80gb to 250gb. I chose to use DriveClone from windows to clone the old drive directly to the new drive. Operational everything works fine. the problem is the Ubuntu HD size went from around 10GB to approx 150Gb, but the filesystem only recognizes approx. 10GB as the total available capacity. I just tried to reinstall Ubuntu without reformatting and only recovered a few GB's. GParted reports the proper partition size. Is there any way I can correct this problem? It's not a big issue...I thought I would check here first before I reformatted the partition. The pre-boot disk check ran and reported no errors but the file system is still not seeing the unused GB's.

Software :: Login Incorrect With Almost Default Installation Of Proftpd

Apr 20, 2010

I'm trying to set up ftp server in the most simple way possible - login to home directories for existing linux users (except root). I get "Login incorrect" when I try to authenticate, although I am sure it is the right user-password (I even changed it using passwd on server's shell and tried again with the new one). The funny thing is even if I purge the proftpd package and install vsftpd instead - it doesn't help - I can't log in. But I can log in with ssh.

Ubuntu Installation :: Incorrect Ambiance Icons After Upgrade / Remove Them - Get That Default Theme?

Oct 12, 2010

I recently upgraded from Lucid to Maverick... I did not notice this earlier but the icon theme (for example, in the nautilus toolbar) is not the same as ambience theme. Although I chose all the defaults for ambience theme by going to 'System' > 'Preferences' > 'Appearance'. I think the current icons I have are remnants from some previous installations. How do I remove them and get to the ambiance default theme?

Programming :: Use Late_command In Preseed File?

Dec 27, 2010

The need which made me come here and share the problem with you is that the proper usage of late_command in preseed file.

I've prepare a preseed file which works fine, but the late_command should install a test script when installation finishes.

What I need is: copying the script from the cdrom into /root directory of the system which is being installed, and execute it! the code I've tried is found from those who previously tried executing script after installation. but for me that doesn't work!

Suse asks me to install it anyway but then decides to not let me install it, only leaves skip, cancel and retry. when doing skip, suse also managed to fcuk up Grub and removes all the entries for suse. Installing the driver doing like ATI Proprietary Driver Install Guide | openSuSE 11.2 vanilla - openSUSE Forums

fails miserably too. the free radeon driver on my FirePro V7750 on the Dell 6400 still has artefact all over screen, I hardly can type., this linux installing is still quite frustrating. or should I try Linux maybe in a year again?

Ubuntu Servers :: Unable To Select Server Kernel With Preseed?

Jan 6, 2010

I'm currently trying to use preseed to build an ubuntu server box over the network. I'm using the netboot.tar.gz from the karmic main mirror. By default it installs the standard kernel (linux-2.6.31-16-generic), and I want to use the server kernel (the metapackage linux-server which should install linux-image-2.6.31-16-server). I'm using a minimal build:
