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

| 10:57 Ahmtah | thank you all |
| 10:57 Ahmtah | I did it |
| 10:57 Ahmtah | create UBUNTU1010.tgz, after debootstrap |
| 11:00 Ahmtah | but now what things should be done through /srv/fai/config/basefiles in /class/50-host-classes |

| 13:53 oz_ | Ahmtah: please, be more specific |
| 13:53 oz_ | "I've got a problem" is a very unspecific msg to debug |
| 14:01 Ahmtah | ok I created UBUNTU1010.tgz and putted under basefiles |
| 14:02 Ahmtah | after that I edited the class 50-host-classes to use UBUNTU1010 |
| 14:02 Ahmtah | but the source.list still use Debian instead of Ubuntu |
| 14:04 Ahmtah | oz_: http://paste.debian.net/118401/ |
| 14:05 oz_ | http://paste.debian.net/118402/ <- put this in a file prepareapt.UBUNTU1010 and copy that file under $fai/hooks |
| 14:05 oz_ | ...and make it executable |
| 14:06 oz_ | Ahmtah: how long are you using linux or other unix-based Operating systems? |
| 14:07 Ahmtah | it is 4 months |
| 14:08 oz_ | okay. You'll need more experience. Can we agree on this? |
| 14:08 Ahmtah | of course |
| 14:08 Ahmtah | I was using Windows for long time, but now I prefer Linux |
| 14:16 Ahmtah | oz_still same source.list it used Debian |
| 14:18 Ahmtah | my files http://paste.debian.net/118405/ |
| 14:19 oz_ | Ahmtah: did you do a chmod +x on the hook? |
| 14:19 Ahmtah | is it executable I will |
| 14:20 oz_ | is it executable I will? |
| 14:20 Ahmtah | sorry I did, now I'll try |
| 14:25 Ahmtah | oz_: it got ubuntu but after reeboting no boot from hard disk(blank screen) |
| 14:25 oz_ | Ahmtah: yah, reinstall grub2 |
| 14:27 Ahmtah | excuse me how can I |
