Hello, all. I'm having a bit of a problem with Cobbler deploying Ubuntu Precise (12.04.01, x86_64) Server.
Using the packages straight from the Precise repositories. Cobbler's working just fine for the hands-off preseeded install, but I need to configure Puppet slightly before first boot. (Note that Puppet specifically has nothing to do with this, it's just the exemplar). I'm trying to pass /etc/puppet/puppet/conf and /etc/default/puppet in via cobbler so that puppet will pick them up when the system reboots. Although I'm not receiving any errors, the files are not showing up on the client. Note I'm not using koan here post-install, I only want this to happen once during the preseeded install. Following the instructions at https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Built%20in%20configuration%20man agement, I set up the files I want to inject. Here's the profile report: Name : controller-node TFTP Boot Files : {} Comment : DHCP Tag : default Distribution : precise-x86_64 Enable PXE Menu? : 1 Fetchable Files : {} Kernel Options : {'netcfg/choose_interface': 'eth0'} Kernel Options (Post Install) : {} Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/controller.preseed Kickstart Metadata : {} Management Classes : [] Management Parameters : <<inherit>> Name Servers : [] Name Servers Search Path : [] Owners : ['admin'] Parent Profile : Proxy : Red Hat Management Key : <<inherit>> Red Hat Management Server : <<inherit>> Repos : [] Server Override : <<inherit>> Template Files : {'/etc/cobbler/puppet.conf.tpl': '/etc/puppet/puppet.conf', '/etc/cobbler/puppet.default.tpl': '/etc/default/puppet'} Virt Auto Boot : 1 Virt Bridge : virbr0 Virt CPUs : 1 Virt Disk Driver Type : raw Virt File Size(GB) : 5 Virt Path : Virt RAM (MB) : 512 Virt Type : qemu When the machine is finished booting after its cobbler-managed install, the two files are not copied over the default packaged files. Is this a file overwriting problem? Something Ubuntu specific? Is the source location for the .tpl files incorrect? The files are not themselves templates - they don't need to be - and contain no Cheetah syntax I can determine. -- Chris Doherty, B.Math Software Engineer Advanced Systems Engineering FLEXComputing chris.dohe...@ca.flextronics.com www.flextronics.com Ph +1 289 288 1509 Fax +1 289 288 1549 Legal Disclaimer: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential.
