[opensuse-autoinstall] Problems with rules in openSUSE 11.2 (milestone7)
Hello, I tried to install openSUSE 11.2 (milestone7) via autoyast for testing purpose. I am using the rules feature to create a profile dynamically. I have no problems within former openSUSE releases. But in openSUSE 11.2 it fails. 'xsltproc' is missing here (for merging the profiles) ! Is this problem already known? autoyast is not working yet. Is there a bugfix available or even a workaround to solve this problem? This will be great. At the moment I can not test autoinstallation in release 11.2. Regards, Werner Hack --
Hi,
I tried to install openSUSE 11.2 (milestone7) via autoyast for testing purpose. I am using the rules feature to create a profile dynamically.
'xsltproc' is missing here (for merging the profiles) !
This is actually the second report on this list, the first one is here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2009-09/msg00014.html I've just verified it - xsltproc used to be in inst-sys up to openSUSE 11.1 (SLEx 11) but it is not there anymore in 11.2. I can't find any obvious reason for it in the changelog. Suggest to file a bug.
Is there a bugfix available or even a workaround to solve this problem?
You might try to download libxslt (the package you need) from M7 repository, place it on local http/ftp server and pass the URL to the installed as the driver update, like this: dud=ftp://local.ftp.server/pub/11.2/libxslt-x.y-z.rpm This should add xsltproc to inst-sys ... might work, but I have actually never tested adding packages like this (just replacing the existing ones) ;) Hope that helps hB. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
Hello, today I made a first try with preversion of openSUSE 11.2 (milestone 7). Basically I used the same configuration as with 11.2. As we access our repositories at times from outside we have weak access limitation by basic httpd authentication (password cleartext) scheme. It seems to me that repository URLs as of style http://user:password@host/path_to_repository/ do not work anymore. I use them as command-line-parameter "install=" for kernel and in <add-on>-section (for the non-oss part) of autoyast file. I'm going to use later similiar URL also for command-line-parameter "autoyast=" if possible. I had to relax the conditions on http-server to start installation. Looking at y2.log it seems that it parses user and password correctly out. as one sees them there as parameters. My version was the DVD release for x86_64 architecture. Do you need more details?

Could it be this bug? http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537300 (it's about samba repo, but seems that all schemes ceased to work as soon as username/password is involved) hB. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

For me that seems to work. Many thanks for the hint/workaround! Regards, -- Guenther Haas, Uni Ulm, Institut TAIT, guenther.haas@gmx.de

this should be fixed in the meantime but please test and report to me/list/bugzilla if you see that again. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Dante's Inferno" by Iced Earth -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

yes, that's possible -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Wanderlust" by Nightwish -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

on my second try it failed. Either I did something wrong on the first test or ... I don't know

yes, that's possible
but that's still true ;) -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Now I tried it of course with 11.2. It seems to work during stage 1. But in stage 2 the password information has somehow disappeared. I made a workaround with chroot-scripts to change the files in the directory /etc/zypp/repos.d, which inserts there password in baseurl-parameters of repository. I'm not sure whether this is the right place, but at least it seems to work. But on one machine the password-information seemed again through later use of zypper or yast to disappear. I noticed that zypper has possibility to specify "credentials.global.file" in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf which might be solve it, but i found no working configuration for me.
