[opensuse-autoinstall] State of Autoyast for OpenSUSE 13.1
by Joschi Brauchle 18 Dec '14

Hi everyone, sorry for asking such a general question, but what is the state of AutoYast for OpenSUSE 13.1? I converted a completely working XML from a 12.3 installation to 13.1. The autoinstallation finishes, but the installed system is - missing Sysconfig configuration from <sysconfig> section - has not run any of the <post-scripts> and <init-scripts> - does not accept the root password configured in the <users> section - is missing all files installed from the <files> section of the XML - misses LDAP and KRB config from <ldap> and <kerberos> - services are not configured as in <services> and many more problems. To me it looks like the complete second stage is missing, as all those things are done there. Is this a known problem? Or are there known problems for 13.1? Did anyone succeed with AutoYast and 13.1 with any of the above mentioned XML sections? The y2log file from second stage is very small and does not show any errors... Best regards, Joschi Brauchle

[opensuse-autoinstall] AY Feature Request: set repository alias name
by michael.leu＠mgb.ch 28 Apr '14

Hi, AFAIK it's currently impossible to set a repo alias name with autoyast. Over the years a few others have requested this feature: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2009-02/msg00013.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2008-08/msg00010.html http://web.archive.org/web/20120812045818/http://suse.gansert.net/?p=21#com… Are there any plans to add this? Should I open a bzn? Thanks, Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] 13.1 problem on IBX-530
by 686f6c6d 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hello world, I'm experiencing a strange issue with 13.1s AutoYAST on IBX-530s [0]. Maybe some of you can help… We're using rules.xml to distinguish between a couple of machines, namely "real" servers, embedded devices (IBX) and more. The AutoYAST profiles for the real servers and the embedded devices have only trivial differences (re bootloader etc., nothing I'd suspect to have any relevance to the problem). The only other difference is that for real servers we use a static IP address (via hostip, nameserver, and gateway boot parameters), and for embedded devices we use DHCP. The real servers install and run just fine. With the embedded devices, stage 1 finishes just fine, AFAICT. After the reboot, stage 2 throws a few APCI errors (warnings?), then tells me systemd is about to flush the journal (we don't use a persistent journal), and then does nothing, YAST is never even displayed (textmode=1 on both servers and embedded). I have tried around 10 installs and waited for up to 90 minutes; my colleague who first experienced the problem said he waited for the journal for about five minutes and was then dropped to a non-functioning login prompt or shell, but I could not reproduce this. YAST is started seemingly started in the background according to the logs, and runs up to the first user prompt (we have to accept a GPG key because we manually-by-script add a custom add-on repo). Since I can't see YAST, I can't interact with it. I cannot find what is wrong, not even an error message; I am quite lost. I have attached some logs and command output. Can anybody shed some light on what is happening? I would really appreciate any kind of help, nudges in the right direction, or slaps in the back of the head to wake up my brain.

[opensuse-autoinstall] autoyast and partitions
by Dsant 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

If I use autoyast and xml file, without any partitions rules, will the existing partitions be safe ? That is, will I be asked about partition scheme ? Or will partitions be erased automatically ? -- : ` _..-=-=-=-.._.--.
