[opensuse-autoinstall] use autoyast to set common defaults, then continue manually ?
by Per Jessen 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

(newbie alert) Is it possible to set up autoyast to provide the common defaults I always select ( keyboard, country, timezone, ntp-config, no firewall etc etc), such that those steps are automatically selected, and then continue with a normal manual installation? thanks -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Kent, Gregory 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hi, I'm trying to install SLES11-SP2 onto a VM with an autoinst script that worked with SLES11-SP1. I'm getting an error box at the start of the autoinst process that says "Error configuring partitions. Try again." I've got 1 harddrive of 60GB which I'm trying to partition into 3 sections. "/" "swap" and "/var/local/" The partitions section of my autoinst xml is <partitioning config:type='list'> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <partitions config:type='list'> <partition> <filesystem config:type='symbol'>ext3</filesystem> <format config:type='boolean'>true</format> <mount>/</mount> <mountby config:type='symbol'>id</mountby> <fstopt>defaults,errors=remount-ro,barrier=0</fstopt> <create config:type='boolean'>false</create> <partition_nr config:type='integer'>1</partition_nr> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type='symbol'>swap</filesystem> <format config:type='boolean'>true</format> <mount>swap</mount> <mountby config:type='symbol'>id</mountby> <create config:type='boolean'>false</create> <partition_nr config:type='integer'>2</partition_nr> <partition_id config:type='integer'>130</partition_id> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type='symbol'>ext3</filesystem> <format config:type='boolean'>true</format> <mount>/var/local</mount> <mountby config:type='symbol'>id</mountby> <fstopt>defaults,errors=remount-ro,barrier=0</fstopt> <create config:type='boolean'>false</create> <partition_nr config:type='integer'>3</partition_nr> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> I've attached the logs as a tar ball.

[opensuse-autoinstall] Yast auto installation error codes
by Kent, Gregory 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi All, I'm getting an occasional error when I install using autoyast. The error is Install program error code is 135 What does the error code 135 mean? I've searched the internet for error code definitions but no luck. The log files have no errors and stop after loading ncurses. The error occurs near the start of the autoinstallation process.

[opensuse-autoinstall] chroot scripts in unattended upgrade (sles 10 sp4 to 11 sp1)
by Nefi Munoz 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, I'm unable to get chroot scripts to work in unattended upgrade (SLES 10 SP4 to SLES 11 SP1 Everything else works fine) Before initiating entire unattended upgrade process, I modified /boot/grub/menu.lst "Default" line to "Default 3" which corresponds to "title Upgrade" and I added chroot script to autoupg.xml to change "Default" back to 0 before first boot, but this is not working (upon reboot Default is still 3) Here is the section of autoupg.xml with chroot script: <scripts> <chroot-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <filename>clean_bootloader.sh</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source><![CDATA[ #!/bin/bash sed -i 's/default [0-9]/default 0/' /boot/grub/menu.lst ]]> </source> </script> </chroot-scripts> </scripts> Are chroot scripts supposed to work here? Thanks in advance, Nefi M.

Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] Reboot after init script run configurable ?
by Conny Seidel 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi, you could use /etc/rc.local which is executed after the init scripts are done. We use it for this purpose like this: # #!/bin/sh # ...do_config_magic... # # #we don't wan rc.local for the next boot # rm -f $0 # # reboot -- Kind regards.

[opensuse-autoinstall] linuxrc prompts for user input after stage1, unattended installation disrupted
by Matthias Danzl 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Dear AutoYaST crew, dear Uwe, we have been using AutoYaST for installation of the last 5 openSUSE distributions, but with 12.1 unattended installation doesn't work anymore. It gets disrupted by a user input prompt right after Stage 1 of AutoYaST (installation of packages). I can select to "Install" or "Reboot" etc. I always choose reboot here, then the installation continues as usual (there are other issues, but they're not autoyast related afaik so far) An install.xml resembling the one I'm using is pasted [1]. Note that I have also tried to set security=0 in linuxrc parameter list as suggested in [2] ... but it didnt help. (It probably was the wrong thing to do anyway.) Any help is appreciated. TIA [1] http://pastebin.com/EmpdtwbP [2] http://www.suse.de/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#af -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] Printer config with autoyast
by Patrick Begou 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

On all my OpenSuse 11.4 client installed with Autoyast I have some trouble with printers. Applications like evince or firefox cannot understand printers options. Ex: I'm unable to set two-sided printing from these applications, the two-sided menu is greyed, the paper format is not set to A4 but to letter.. etc. Printers are set with these lines in my autoyast file: <scripts> <post-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <debug config:type="boolean">true</debug> <filename>imprimantes</filename> <network_needed config:type="boolean">true</network_needed> <notification>Please wait while setting up printers ...</notification> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source><![CDATA[ #!/bin/sh service cups start service cups status lpadmin -p laser5M -m manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/hp-laserjet_4050_series-ps.ppd.gz -u allow:all -L "Salle A116" -v socket://batA1-most1.hmg.inpg.fr:9100 -E lpoptions -d laser5M -o PageSize=A4 -o HPOption_Duplexer=True -o InstalledMemory=36MB -o HPOption_Tray3=True -o HPOption_Disk=HardDisk -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o HPOption_PaperPolicy=NearestSizeAdjust lpadmin -p color -m manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/hp-color_laserjet_cp2025n-ps.ppd.gz -u allow:all -L "Salle A106" -v socket://batA1-most-color.hmg.inpg.fr:9100 -E lpoptions -p color -o PageSize=A4 -o HPOption_Duplexer=True -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble -o HPBookletPageSize=A4 -o HPManualDuplexSwitch=True ]]> </source> </script> </post-scripts> </scripts> Runing "lpoptions -p laser5M -l" on these Autoyast configured PC and mine installed from OpenSuse DVD do not show any difference, they all have PageSize/Page Size: Letter LetterSmall Executive Legal LegalSmall *A4 A4Small A5 B5 w612h935 .....

[opensuse-autoinstall] media url within CDATA tag
by Jochen Schaefer 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

Hi, does anybody know how to specify a media URL for an add_on product located at a local dvd within a CDATA tag? <media_url>![CDATA[cd:///oes11gm-dvd/x86_64/CD1]]</media_url> throws an error: adding add_on product failed whereas <media_url>cd:///oes11gm-dvd/x86_64/CD1</media_url> works. But I need to put it between CDATA. Thanks, Jochen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner(a)opensuse.org
