iso8859 language

10 Nov '06

I run an autoyast installation with SLES10. I would like to set the language to en_US.iso8859-1. The xml-file for the language is: in the config part: <sysconfig config:type="list"> <sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_key>RC_LANG</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_path>/etc/sysconfig/language</sysconfig_path> <sysconfig_value>en_US.ISO-8859-1</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry> </sysconfig> in the install part: <general> <language>en_US.ISO-8859-1</language> <languages>en_US.ISO-8859-1</languages> </general> In the logfile I found: 2006-11-10 10:21:42 <1> linux(3828) [YCP] clients/inst_autopost.ycp:131 Calling auto client with: $["language":"en_US.ISO-8859-1"] 2006-11-10 10:21:42 <1> linux(3828) [wfm] Y2CCWFM.cc(createInLevel):153 Parsing finished 2006-11-10 10:21:42 <1> linux(3828) [Interpreter] clients/language_auto.ycp:77 Calling YaST client language_auto (arguments: ["Import", $["language": "en_US.ISO-8859-1"]]) 2006-11-10 10:21:42 <1> linux(3828) [YCP] Language.ycp:367 language: en_GB, languages: en_GB 2006-11-10 10:21:42 <1> linux(3828) [YCP] Language.ycp:161 original language: en_GB; setting to lang:en_US.ISO-8859-1 2006-11-10 10:21:42 <1> linux(3828) [YCP] Encoding.ycp:62 SetEncLang en_GB ... 2006-11-10 10:23:20 <1> serv1(3828) [YCP] clients/inst_autoconfigure.ycp:134 Calling auto client with: $["language":"en_US.ISO-8859-1"] 2006-11-10 10:23:20 <1> serv1(3828) [YCP] clients/inst_autoconfigure.ycp:38 current step: 43 2006-11-10 10:23:20 <1> serv1(3828) [wfm] Y2CCWFM.cc(createInLevel):153 Parsing finished 2006-11-10 10:23:20 <1> serv1(3828) [Interpreter] clients/language_auto.ycp:77 Calling YaST client language_auto (arguments: ["Write"]) 2006-11-10 10:23:20 <1> serv1(3828) [YCP] Language.ycp:240 locale en_GB.UTF-8 But after the installation is the language en_GB.UTF-8, also the RC_LANG entry in /etc/sysconfig/language is RC_LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" How can I set the correct language with autoyast?

I run an autoyast installation with SLES10. I would like to install some cups printer. The config file configure section for the printers is: <configure> <printer> <cups_installation config:type="symbol">server</cups_installation> <default>hp4050</default> <printcap config:type="list"> <printcap_entry> <accepting config:type="boolean">true</accepting> <bannerend>none</bannerend> <bannerstart>none</bannerstart> <info>ircheld</info> <location>Y02F07</location> <name>ircheld</name> <raw config:type="boolean">true</raw> <state>idle</state> <uri>lpd://idprintserv.unizh.ch/ircheld</uri> </printcap_entry> <printcap_entry> <accepting config:type="boolean">true</accepting> <bannerend>none</bannerend> <bannerstart>none</bannerstart> <info>Pseudo Printer fuer Printkonsolen</info> <manufacturer>HP</manufacturer> <model> LaserJet 4050</model> <name>hp4050</name> <nick>HP LaserJet 4050 Foomatic/Postscript(recommended)</nick> <ppd_options config:type="list"> <ppd_option> <key>PageSize</key> <value>A4</value> </ppd_option> </ppd_options> <raw config:type="boolean">false</raw> <state>stopped</state> <uri>serial:/dev/null</uri> </printcap_entry> </printcap> <spooler>cups</spooler> </printer> </configure> The autoinstall tries to define the printers but fails with: 2006-11-09 09:59:39 <1> serv1(3828) [YCP] CUPS.ycp:256 CUPS settings writing success: true 2006-11-09 09:59:39 <3> serv1(3828) [agent-cups] PrintersConf.cc(readSettings):32 PrintersConf::getPrinters failed 2006-11-09 09:59:39 <3> serv1(3828) [agent-cups] CupsCalls.cc(setPrinter):53 Error while contacting CUPS server occured. 2006-11-09 10:05:29 <3> serv1(3828) [YCP] Report.ycp:484 An error occurred while communicating with the CUPS server while saving queue ircheld.

Habe ein dm Problem bei Postinstallskript
by Florian_Meermeier＠esacom.de 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hallo, ich habe einen keinen direkten Fehler, aber bei meiner Autoinstallation muss ich mich zwei mal zu meinem Server hinbegeben und OK drücken. Wie kann ich das mittels des autoinst.xml Skriptes erledigen lassen? Es handelt sich dabei zum Einen um den dm-mod Treiber und zum Anderen um den dm-snapshot Treiber. Nachdem ich OK gedrückt habe läuft die automatische Installation weiter bzw. das Skript läuft durch. Hello, I do not have a direct error, but during my autoinstallation I must go to my server two times and press ok. So my question is how can I settle it with my autoinst.xml Script? It take care by the dm-mod driver and on the other side by the dm-snapshot driver. After I press OK the Installation go through the Script.

changing init script launch sequence & getting location data
by Rich 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

hi. is it possible to easily change init script ('autoyast') launch sequence/requirements so that it is launched after sshd has started ? currently, it runs together with sshd, which is generating keys for some time, and that is inconvenient for some actions script has to perform. additionally, is it possible to get init script location data (defined in <location>) in the script itself some way (a variable ?) ? as in "use here the same host/directory you came from". (oh yes, using sles10) thanks -- Rich

AY via sshfs
by Frank Steiner 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Hi, is there any way to hack AY, so that it can mount the repository (install sources and profiles) with sshfs? Would this "just" require to add another case to the Yast code where nfs mounts etc. are handled, or are there too many side effects I don't see? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

Interactiv post-install script
by Bernhard Dübi 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi everybody, some time ago I started creating my own sles9 cds. I have a sles9 where the install server runs and a sles9 machine where patch server runs. On the install server I use CD Creator to create my cds (at least the install tree, the iso images and the burning I do with a script). I also have some XML files for autoyast, with a post-install script where the user can choose some install options. All this works fine. Now I want to do the same with sles10. I managed to setup an install server on the sles9 machine. I also created some XML files for autoyast, but I have problems with the interactiv post-install script. Now some questions: 1) Can I use CD Creator from sles9 to create sles10 cds (just the install tree) ? 2) Can I use sles9 as patch server for sles10 ? 3) What's the best way to create an interactiv postinstall script ? I tried the init-script option, but the script runs in parallel with other scripts an never gets the hold of the console. In sles9 I had a post-install script which dropped a S00setup file in rc5.d, but in sles10 this files is ignored. Any ideas ? Thank you very much for your help. Sincerely Bernhard
