[08:50] Good morning, I wonder about pxe menu, cuz my attempts got nothing trying Debian squeeze and Ubuntu 11.4 [08:55] what are your problems? [08:55] what's your problem? I mean what do you expect and what happens instead? [09:00] I expect booting by choose 1- Debian and start installation, 2- Ubuntu and start installation. I want good reference [09:01] ah, you're missing documentation? [09:02] use the pxemenu docu [09:03] oz_: I used pxemenu wiki at http://wiki.debian.org/PXE, please if there better tell me. [09:08] Mrfai (~lange@xdsl-78-35-232-197.netcologne.de) joined #fai. [09:11] fai-project.org is curently down because of a network failure outside my scope. [09:12] any idea about creating ?, perfect pxemenu with configuring 50-host-classes [09:12] It should go online again in the course of the day. [09:14] Ahmtah: plz, could you specify your more [09:15] I mean, could you be more specific in what you want? [09:15] if you want us to set up the entire pxemenu, sorry we can't do that [09:16] I can paste you the one I'm using here [09:16] but there are plenty of easy examples on the net [09:17] I succeded in installation of gnom for demohost, but my target to make more choices for clients, such as Ubuntu 11.4, and I got lost when i tried to do so [09:28] Excuse me is it possible to make it automatic for all clients without FAI-CHBOOT [09:30] ? [09:30] 11:15 < oz_> I mean, could you be more specific in what you want? [09:32] I am student at laboratory, OK, I want to deploy 2 different systems (Debian squeeze, Ubuntu 11.4), I have about 250 clients. so my target to power on the client [09:33] and from the booting moment I want to choose either Debian or Ubuntu [09:34] Ahmtah: I think we dealt with this already. [09:34] you can pxeboot, can you? [09:36] oz_ : of course you helped me so I already installed Debian squeeze with GNOME for demohost [09:37] but I want to make it flexible, so the user can choose between multi distribution. for example which the perfect method to create base files [09:50] I'd use ADDCLASSES in the kernel commandline and configure FAI along those classes (SQUEEZE and NATTY for example) [09:50] oz_: http://paste.debian.net/118368/ [09:50] then you can create base.tgz, sources.list etc named after those classes and deploy the chosen distro [09:51] how was your tar.gz corrupt? If tar and/or gzip was unable to handle it, it's not a problem FAI can solve [09:52] M`cc`_: I downloaded ready tar.gz [09:52] Ahmtah: you can create the base tgz via debootstrap [09:53] ok I will try it now [09:53] Ahmtah: debootstrap --exclude=info [09:56] you mean running the command into basefiles directory [09:57] ? [09:58] to put base.tgz into basefiles, for class purpose [10:04] Is it right syntax ; http://paste.debian.net/118371/ [10:05] the syntax is right [10:06] but don't put the whole installation in basefiles [10:06] put it somewhere else and create a tar.gz from it into basefiles, as said above [10:07] M`cc`_: I am fresh at open source, so how can I create tar.gz [10:09] or tgz [10:09] debootstrap --make-tarball=$fai/basefiles/UBUNTU.tar --exclude=info --arch i386 maverick http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [10:10] Ahmtah: you should not expect to be so fast. [10:13] debootstrap --make-tarball doesn't build a base.tgz [10:13] no just a .tar [10:14] http://grml.org/grml-live/#create-a-base-tgz [10:14] ...with the .deb files in it instead of a base installation [10:20] ? I tried but no UBUNTU.tar [10:25] You should try mikap's grml link, that has to work [10:35] look at this please, but no UBUNTU; http://paste.debian.net/118373/ [10:37] dude, forget the --make-tarball=UBUNTU & read http://grml.org/grml-live/#create-a-base-tgz and follow the instructions [10:43] in fact I followed that but the syntax didnt give me base file [10:43] Mrfai (~lange@xdsl-78-35-232-197.netcologne.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [10:55] those 3 lines do create a base.tgz [10:56] Nic0 (~courtel@fw.tls.cena.fr) left irc: Quit: Leaving. [10:57] thank you all [10:57] I did it [10:57] create UBUNTU1010.tgz, after debootstrap [11:00] but now what things should be done through /srv/fai/config/basefiles in /class/50-host-classes [11:04] Nic0 (~courtel@fw.tls.cena.fr) joined #fai.

[12:31] excuse me when i tried deploying UBUNTU1010 , the FAI used debian source.list ? [13:01] still UBUNTU class but no good installation [13:08] Hi guys wanna help [13:08] still problem deploying Ubuntu 10.10 from Debian FAI [13:08] Rankin (sel@81-233-247-174-no37.tbcn.telia.com) left #fai.

[14:07] it is 4 months [14:08] okay. You'll need more experience. Can we agree on this? [14:08] of course [14:08] I was using Windows for long time, but now I prefer Linux [14:16] oz_ still same source.list it used Debian [14:18] my files http://paste.debian.net/118405/ [14:19] Ahmtah: did you do a chmod +x on the hook? [14:19] is it executable I will [14:20] is it executable I will? [14:20] sorry I did, now I'll try [14:25] oz_: it got ubuntu but after reeboting no boot from hard disk(blank screen) [14:25] Ahmtah: yah, reinstall grub2 [14:27] excuse me how can I [14:29] Mrfai (~lange@malzmuehle.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai.
