[opensuse-autoinstall] steps to create an update source
by Salmon, Rene 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I have a few custom built RPMs that we would like to install on our SLES 11 and opensuse 11.1 machines via autoyast. I looked around the autoyast website and a few other lists and such and cant' quite get all the parts right to do this. For now I am simply trying to create the update source then I go to a SLES 11 machine and try to add that as a "Software Repository" just to test if the update source works. When I do this I get this error message: "No repository index in content file" Here are the steps I followed to create the update source: >>create_update_source.sh dist/ >>mkdir -p dist/updates/suse/x86_64 >>cp *.rpm dist/updates/suse/x86_64/ >>cd dist/updates/suse/ >>create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV >>cd setup/descr/ >>create_directory.yast . >>create_md5sums . last I edit the "dist/updates/content" file to look like this: >>cat dist/updates/content VENDOR SuSE Linux AG CREATIONDATE 20090329125112 VERSION 1 LABEL My Software Any ideas as to what I am missing in the creating of the update source that might cause the "No repository index in content file" error message?

[opensuse-autoinstall] dtds for SLES 11?
by Frank Steiner 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, AY for SLES11 complains about my rules.xml file. I can't find the dtd files to check my xml files. They are not in autoyast2-install where they used to be, and zgrepping in ARCHIES.gz also didn't return any results. Any place where I can download them? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

[opensuse-autoinstall] Login problems after installing with minimal config
by Hinrich Winther 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, I tried to use the minimalistic autoyast file from the faq (http://www.suse.com/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#a3) for SLES11 on SLED11: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted> <user_password>myrootpassword</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> </users> </profile> The Problem is, that I can log in as root. After typing root <return> I am not even asked for the password, but directly denied What could be the problem?

[opensuse-autoinstall] create_update_source etc. for SLES 11
by Frank Steiner 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, I would like to set up a repository for SLES 11, doing this on a SLES10 server. I wonder if the scripts like "create_update_source.sh" have changed from the version you list you http://www.suse.de/~ug/, e.g. the create_update_source.sh linked there is from 2006. The problem is that I can't take them from the inst-source-utils.rpm from SLES 11, because I cannot install or open this rpm with tools rpm2cpio because the rpm lib has changed. Do I need the tools from SLES 11 or are the old versions enough? Is there any way to unpack RPMs from SLES 11 on a SLES 10 system? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

[opensuse-autoinstall] SLES 11: invalid signature/sha1 not checked
by Frank Steiner 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, I copied the SLES 11 DVDs into a local directory (DVD2 first, then DVD1) and started an installation from NFS, just like I did with any SLES10 release before. The installation aborts with nfs://<server>/<path>/content: Invalid signature And with Alt+F3 I see the messages: loading file:/var/adm/mount/content -> content sha1 ... (some value) sha1 not checked loading file:/var/adm/mount/content.asc -> content.asc sha1... (some value) sha1 not checked nfs://<server>/<path>/content: signature check failed The sha1 values printed there are the values that I get when I apply sha1sum manually to content{.asc}. So what's wrong here? The content file is exactly the copy from the DVD with the same checksum. But why does the installer (linux and initrd from boot/x86_64/loader/ on the same DVD) think the sha1sum is wrong? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

[opensuse-autoinstall] OpenSUSE 11.0: Truly non-interactive "zypper update"?
by Bernd Nies 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi, Ist there a non-documented truly non-interactive option of zypper? I need to run it from an Autoyast postinstall script to perform updates after we have localized the software repositories. The code I use for this to perform is: ==CUT== # Package repositories after installation zypper repos -d # Delete all repositories ... repositories=`zypper repos | awk '($1~/^[0-9]+$/){print $1}'` zypper removerepo $repositories # Set install server as package repository ... zypper addrepo http://$INSTSRV/suse/11.0 "openSUSE 11.0 DVD" zypper addrepo http://$INSTSRV/suse/opensuse-updates/11.0 "openSUSE 11.0 Updates" zypper modifyrepo -r "openSUSE 11.0 Updates" zypper refresh -f zypper repos -d # One of installed patches affects the package manager itself # Therefore we must run it at least twice. Somehow the RPM database is # corrupt rebuild it or the list of available updates does not match. cd /tmp for (( i=1; i<=2; i++ )); do echo "Updating system (run $i) ..." zypper -n verify zypper -n list-updates zypper -n update --skip-interactive --auto-agree-with-licenses --force-resolution echo "Rebuilding RPM database ..." rpm --rebuilddb -v done ==CUT== The option "--force-resolution" had to be added because there was once a smbclient patch that hindered an online update and asked to confirm to delete smbclient due to a serious bug. Now there has another patch appeared and that option aborts online update completely. Output from /var/adm/autoinstall/logs/i250swupdate.log: ==CUT== + zypper -n list-updates Reading installed packages... Patches Warning: These are only the updates affecting the updater itself. Other updates are available too. Repository | Name | Version | Category | Status ----------------------+--------------+---------+-------------+------- openSUSE 11.0 Updates | softwaremgmt | 365 | recommended | Needed openSUSE 11.0 Updates | softwaremgmt | 462 | recommended | Needed + zypper -n update --skip-interactive --auto-agree-with-licenses --force-resolution Reading installed packages... Problem: cannot install both patch:softwaremgmt-462.noarch and patch:softwaremgmt-365.noarch Solution 1: do not install patch:softwaremgmt-462.noarch Solution 2: do not install patch:softwaremgmt-365.noarch Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/C]: c ==CUT== Isn't there an option that just does the right thing and updates all packages to the latest release? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Bernd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Verwendung eines bestimmten Profils + Nutzung der rules Funktion
by Hinrich Winther 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Guten Tag, Wir setzen Autoyast für das Aufsetzen von Desktopsystemen und Servern ein. Momentan übergeben wir direkt eine Autoyast Datei an den Suse Installer, was allerdings den Nachteil hat, dass wir keine Rules verwenden können. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit ein gemeinsames Profilverzeichnis für alle Profile zu haben, ein bestimmtes Profil bei der Installation zu benutzen und trotzdem die rules auswerten zu lassen? Ideal wäre es, wenn man bei der Installation ein Dropdown Menü hätte, wo man direkt das Zielprofil anwählen könnte. Liebe Grüße, Hinrich Winther. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] JFYI - imag(in)e AutoYaST
by Uwe Gansert 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Hi, I published an article in my blog about kiwi images and AutoYaST. To make you curious, here are some numbers I have measured for the time to install a system: kde4 system with RPMs only - 19 minutes kde4 system with pre defined images -13 minutes kde4 system with a kiwi image - 3,5 minutes (!) http://ugansert.blogspot.com/2009/03/imagine-autoyast.html The feature is experimental but available in openSUSE 11.1/SLES11 It's not documented and not fully supported yet but nice to play with. Feedback is appreaciated. ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org
