Possible to create GPT partition during preseeded install?
Hello,
I would like to set a gpt label instead of msdos during a preseeded install.
I've searched for such a recipe and tried to disect partman, but still
end up with a msdos label.
What I have now:
### Partitioning
d-i partman-basicfilesystems/choose_label string gpt
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/vda
d-i partman-partitioning/choose_label string gpt
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select btrfs
#1 1 1 free
# $gptonly{ }
# $primary{ }
# $bios_boot{ }
# you can put an entire recipe into the preconfiguration file in one
# (logical) line.
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string\
btrfs :: \
1 1 1 free \
$gptonly{ }\
$primary{ }\
$bios_boot{ } \
method{ biosgrub } \
. \
16000 1000 16000 linux-swap\
$gptonly{ }\
$primary{ }\
method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
500 1000 -1 btrfs \
$gptonly{ }\
$primary{ }\
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ btrfs } \
mountpoint{ / }\
options/ssd{ ssd } options/compress{ compress } \
.
# This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation, provided
# that you told it what to do using one of the methods above.
d-i partman/confirm_nochanges boolean true
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_resize boolean true
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-partitioning partman-partitioning/confirm_copy true
Is it possible to set gpt at all with preseed?
With kind regards, Sander

Bug#257883: netcfg: Please offer to configure all network interfaces
As long as we are fixing this, can we also fix the netcfg/interface=auto that's suppose to pick the correct interface when pxe booting?

Bug#257883: netcfg: Please offer to configure all network interfaces
Regarding #257883, "netcfg: Please offer to configure all network interfaces" (wow old bug!) I would also like d-i to let me configure multiple network interfaces. It would be nice if it prompted in expert mode, but since I'm already using preseeding I'd settle for a way to configure additional interfaces using late_command or something. Maybe netcfg could have a flag to indicate you were configuring an additional interface and not to step on the original config? In case it's useful here's my use case: All our machines have two networks, a public network and a private network. To install I pxe boot a machine using the private network and it gets a throw-away dhcp IP, then loads the preseed file. Then I use the preseed/run trick mentioned in the manual to cause netcfg to run again and prompt me for the real static config of the private network. Then it finishes the install using that new config, but I'd also like to configure the public network before rebooting. Also potentially tricky is after configuring the public network I want the default gateway to be on the public network. Work-arounds welcome.

Bug#267838: netcfg: DHCP installer -> STATIC target
This wishlist bug seems like a pretty small corner case. First let me restate it to make sure I understand correctly. You want d-i to do a dhcp request but then use the answers to define a static config. Does that sound right? I guess I can understand wanting to do that, maybe you don't want to depend on the dhcp server being up all the time. But if implemented in the way you mention "Do you want to use the dynamic answers you received as static values?" seems like a violation of the nature of DHCP and would hurt more users than it would possibly help. I have a similar use case, I want to use a throw away dhcp assigned address during boot and to load the preseed, but then I want to switch to a static config. I use the preseed_run script idea documented in the d-i manual to cause netcfg to rerun. Then later in the preseed I define the network parameters. http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs04.html#preseed-network This could work for your case, but normally this would then mean you would need one preseed per system, but maybe you could use the early_command or include_command functions to save the dhcp answers and set them? http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/apbs05.html#preseed-hooks I think this bug might be wontfix. -- Matt Taggart tagg...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Any suggestion ? You are probably hitting the other bug a few people have hit that some gigabit ports are slow to come up and the network detection code is much too impatient to wait for the link to be ready. I remember a number of people reporting this a few months ago. Other than retrying the network detection step (which I guess preseed can't do), I don't know a workaround. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Actually, Google reveals that there are two different keyboard layouts for that language, one for Norwegian keyboards and one for Swedish/Finnish keyboards: http://www.evertype.com/standards/se/se-lat9-no-keys.html http://www.evertype.com/standards/se/se-lat9-sefi-keys.html Don't know if you want to support both, but you should probably make it clear which one you are supporting. Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian Bokmål use the same keyboard. The proper keyboard layout is "Norwegian" regardless of language. BTW, confusing Sámi and Norwegian is a bit like confusing Hungarian and French :-) Not even the same language family...

Latin American is mostly a qwerty layout with extra mappings to type es/pt, so it's mostly for use in the US. Brazilian is for pt_BR and Portuguese is for pt_PT.

Thanks to all for the fast replies. bootcd-hppa will be removed ("auto
crufted") soonish.

But isn't console-setup using the console-keymaps-at/keymap value if already set? Anyway, even if we completely drop console-data udeb, we can still keep a keymap alias, which we'll be pointing to whatever is needed to properly preseed c-s, can't we? signature.asc Description: Digital signature
