[opensuse-autoinstall] sle-sdk product no longer marked as installed in SP2/SP3
by Andrew Daugherity 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

I recently noticed that an autoyast installation of SLES 12 SP3 did not show the the SDK as being installed (in the output of ‘zypper search -t product’), despite it being present in my profile, and 'SUSEConnect --list-extensions' reported it as registered but not installed. Running ‘zypper install sle-sdk-release’ or ‘zypper in -t product sle-sdk’ afterwards will then mark it as installed. Further testing revealed this to be the case in SP2 also, but for SLES 12 SP1, the sle-sdk product *is* still automatically installed. I have had the mounted SLE SDK ISO listed as an add-on in my profile for many versions (going back to SLES 11 GA, I believe) much like this: ==== <add-on>  <add_on_products config:type="list"> <listentry> <media_url>http://rgs-install.local/mounts/sles12/sp2/sdk1/</media_url> <product>sle-sdk</product> <product_dir>/</product_dir> <alias>SLE-SDK12-SP2</alias> </listentry> </add_on_products> </add-on> ==== And up through SLES 12 SP1, everything was fine. For all SP versions, I see in the YaST logs stuff like this: 2017-10-24 15:42:44 <1> dhcp-116(3246) [zypp++] PoolItem.cc(setBuddy):168 U__s_(9458)product:sle-sdk-12.2-0.x86_64(SLE-SDK12-SP2) has buddy U__s_(7684)sle-sdk-release-12.2-1.124.x86_64(SLE-SDK12-SP2) ...but for some reason SP2/SP3 don’t automatically install sle-sdk-release any more. Adding it to <packages>, either 'sle-sdk-release', or 'product:sle-sdk', is a suitable workaround, but I wonder what changed? ==== <software> <packages config:type="list"> <package>mlocate</package>   <package>product:sle-sdk</package> <package>sle-sdk-release</package> </packages> <patterns config:type="list"> <pattern>Minimal</pattern> <pattern>base</pattern> </patterns>  </software> ==== Andrew Daugherity Senior Systems Administrator Division of Research, Texas A&M University

Is there no parameter to set the location of the autoinst-file for bot, DVD and USB? file:///autionst.xml is only working on DVD, not on a pen drive, device:/// is only working on a pen drive but not on a DVD...

When installing from the installation media created with mksusecd i get an error from Autoyast: "No base products found"...... Any idea what autoyast is missing here?

[opensuse-autoinstall] How to invoke autoyast from USB and DVD with one grub entry
by Daniel Spannbauer 05 Oct '17

Hello, after solving my efi-case I struggle with another problem..... I create an Iso-Image for our stuff which they can download and install opensuse to their machines. They can burn the ISO on a DVD or create a usb-stick from that iso. Booting is working from both. But I have only one grub.cfg. So, how to tell the opensuse installation system the correct path to the repo and the autoinst-xml-file? At the moment I try it with: install=disk:/?device=*label/inst_14_* autoyast2=disk:/?device=*label/inst_14_*/autoinst.xml The ISO and the USB stick are labled with "inst_14_??" where ?? is a version number. But the installation process can't find the installation source, doesn't matter If I boot from USB oder DVD. Any hints?

Hello, I try to create a UEFI-Bootable Iso-Image. The "normal" Iso is working fine, but on a UEFI-Only machine the burned DVD is not found. But how do I generate a UEFI Iso-Image on Leap? genisoimage seems to lack the parameter --eltorito-boot Regards Daniel -- Daniel Spannbauer Systemadministration marco Systemanalyse und Entwicklung GmbH Tel +49 8333 9233-27 Fax -11 Rechbergstr. 4-6, D 87727 Babenhausen Mobil +49 171 4033220 http://www.marco.de/ Email ds(a)marco.de Geschäftsführer Martin Reuter HRB 171775 Amtsgericht München -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner(a)opensuse.org
