[opensuse-autoinstall] Password encryption
by Alan Mosca 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way of changing the encryption algorithm in the user passwords. More specifically I would like to get whatever the root password is in /etc/shadow and put it in autoyast.xml. I don't need to decrypt it. Is there a way of doing this?

Hello, what kind of system do you use? I had some trouble wir SLES 10 SP1 for ia64, which did not set the "defautl=<value>" in elilo.conf but only wrote "default" so the first autoyast-boot did not work. I removed my entire global section from the autoinst.xml and then I get something installed. see also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=119193 Regards Alfred Isele Alfred Isele Software Engineer FSC IP SW OS4 Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH Otto-Hahn-Ring 6 D-81739 Muenchen Telephone: +49 (0) 89 636 41914 E-Mail: alfred.isele(a)fujitsu-siemens.com Internet: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.de http://www.fujitsu-siemens.de/imprint.html At 17:12 05.07.2007, Lonni J Friedman wrote: >Up until recently, my autoyast.xml file never had a bootloader section >at all, and everything worked fine.

[opensuse-autoinstall] bootloader problems
by Lonni J Friedman 05 Jul '07

05 Jul '07

Up until recently, my autoyast.xml file never had a bootloader section at all, and everything worked fine. I recently needed to set a few kernel parameters at boot, which forced me to have to add a bootloader section, as follows: <bootloader> <global config:type="list"> <global_entry> <key>prompt</key> <value config:type="boolean">false</value> </global_entry> </global> <kernel_parameters>console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0</kernel_parameters> <loader_device></loader_device> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <location>mbr</location> <sections config:type="list"/> </bootloader> Unfortunately, the entire thing is a mess now. For starters, no default is set in /boot/grub/menu.lst. All it has is a line with the word "default" and nothing else. I'm also rather annoyed by the fact that SUSE isn't consistent from one release to another on their syntax for the default. Sometimes its "default 0" other times its "default=0". Additionally, no timeout entry appears at all. All that I want is to have: default=0 timeout=3 The autoyast documentation is rather lacking in how to specify any of these parameters. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.

[opensuse-autoinstall] Reading autoyast profile from tape
by Oliver Schweikert 05 Jul '07

05 Jul '07

Hallo all, with SLES8 i used to create an autoyast based backup on tape. At recovery time the profile was fetched from the first file on the tape. (Protocol: "Device", Filename: "/dev/nst0"). When i try it with SLES10 SP1 fetching the profile does not work, neither with "device://st0" nor with "file://dev/st0". I can see, the tape drive gets accessed but looking at y2log, yast seems to expect a block device to mount it :-( Is fetching the autoyast profile from a character device not longer supported?
