[opensuse-autoinstall] ldap problems
by Lars Stavholm 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hi All, I've managed to use the ldap client (<ldap>) and server (<ldap-server>) sections of my autoinst.xml to setup the server with both as ldap server and ldap client. I would assume that the ldap client stuff will work eventually, but there's a problem with the server part: the ldap database does not get initialized, I still have to go in and do that step manually. Does anyone know how to automate this step? Any thoughts appreciated /Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Brainshare session TUT226 Autoyast in Anger
by Simon Crute 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hi All, A couple of weeks ago at Novell Brainshare in Salt Lake City, I presented a breakout session on Autoyast. I mentioned to a couple of people I'd post it to this this list, so here it is. It covers setting up the install server, setting up a pxe server, as well as the autoyast profiles themselves and some script examples. I think there's at least one typo error in one of the scripts, so keep an eye out for it. I hope it's useful to some people. -- Simon Crute IS&T Bracknell Novell UK Ltd

[opensuse-autoinstall] bootloader for RAID1
by Lars Stavholm 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Hi All, I've got a setup with three RAID1 SATA disks, using grub as boot loader. All works fine except for one thing: I can only boot on the first disk. This is my boot loader definition in autoinst.xml: [snip] <bootloader> <global> <activate>true</activate> <generic_mbr>true</generic_mbr> <gfxmenu>/boot/message</gfxmenu> <timeout config:type="integer">5</timeout> </global> <loader_device>/dev/md</loader_device> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <location>mbr</location> <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">true</repl_mbr> </bootloader> [snip] After successful installation, I can see that /etc/grub.conf only mentions the first disk, where it should mention all three. After reading the documentation, I'm still not wiser. If I fix it using YaST2 on the installed machine, all I have to do is to select "o Boot from Boot Partition", install the new bootloader, check out /etc/grub.conf, and sure enough, there's the three disks. What do I have to do to get autoyast to install the boot loader on all three disks, not just the first one? Or, what are the legal values for "<location>"? What am I doing wrong here? Any advice appreciated /Lars Stavholm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] autoinst.xml pxe
by Martin Lehmann 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

hi list, i'm trying to get an auto installation with pxe and autoyast2 rules running (over http) but it seems to be impossible ... because i have to specify the control file explicitly with the autoyast= parameter .... but if i specify this parameter the rules directory will net get examined anymore .... thats why its impossible to combine network installation and rules if i didnt get anything wrong ... so why doesnt autoyast2 look for default control files (autoinst.xml) in network install sources???? regards martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Install OO with response file via autoyast
by Michael Welle 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi, can I install the OO suite via autoyast and parametrize OO with a response file? What is the best practice to install and configure OO for a large number of desktops using autoyast? Copying the adjusted ~/.ooo* to every client after the installation process?

[opensuse-autoinstall] Error while configuring partitions. Try again.
by Ian Grant 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Dear List With my autoyast script I get a dialog "Error while configuring partitions. Try again." during the phase 'Create partition plans.' A syslog server sees only a few kernel log message from the install host. The /var/log/Yast2 log on the install host gives no clue about what the error is. Can anyone suggest how to get a more useful diagnostic?
