[Bug 1452202] Re: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname
Joshua, That look good to me. So I would suggest: 1) Keep the if statement and add the -w option to grep to be more robust 2) Modify the sed cmd with word boundaries (\b) to be more robust as well. Can you build preseed & "d-i" in your PPA to generate a mini.iso and test the reproducer ? If it fix the above situation, please redo the debdiff and we *cyphermox and I" will review it again.

[Bug 1452202] Re: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname
Hi Eric,
I think your proposal '-w' is good, so I will change to use:
if ! echo "$RET" | grep -qw 'ubuntu'; then
Mathieu,
How about using '/b' ? I mean using the following regex
/bin/sed -i "s/\b${CURRENT_HOSTNAME}\b/${NETCFG_HOSTNAME}/g" /etc/hosts
I have done some test below:
hua@t440p:~$ echo "node" | sed "s/\bnode\b/newnode/g"
newnode
hua@t440p:~$ echo "node." | sed "s/\bnode\b/newnode/g"
newnode.
hua@t440p:~$ echo "node.me.com" | sed "s/\bnode\b/newnode/g"
newnode.me.com
hua@t440p:~$ echo "ipv6-allnodes" | sed "s/\bnode\b/newnode/g"
ipv6-allnodes
hua@t440p:~$ echo "ipv6-allnodes node node.me.com node2 node2.me.com" | sed
"s/\bnode\b/newnode/g"
ipv6-allnodes newnode newnode.me.com node2 node2.me.com
any thoughts ?

[Bug 1452202] Re: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname
IIUC,one of the goal mentioned by cyphermox here seems to avoid the grep cmd to catch ubuntu pattern where hostname has ubuntu in it. Example: sometextbeforeubuntusometextafter ubuntusometextafter sometextbeforeubuntu and only catch it when it is 'ubuntu' nothing else. I think "-w" should suffice to keep the if statement remove in Joshua' proposal. # man grep -w, --word-regexp Select only those lines containing matches that form whole words. if ! echo "$RET" | grep -qw 'ubuntu'; then or if ! echo "$RET" | grep -q '\'; then Some quick tests I quickly ran on my laptop : # echo "beforeubuntuafter" | grep -w "ubuntu" # echo "beforeubuntuafter" | grep -w "ubuntu" # echo "ubuntuafter" | grep -w "ubuntu" # echo "ubuntu" | grep -w "ubuntu" ubuntu That should cover at least that one item.

[Bug 1452202] Re: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname
I don't think I'd want to have the patches provided applied as-is. There are multiple problems with them: - The default hostname is 'ubuntu', and is the value you will get if nothing is preseeded -- we *do* need to skip it in this case, although the grep may need to be more precise. A name like 'ubuntuxenial' should match this grep. - The sed needs to be fixed to more appropriately catch for the exact string, rather than any substring -- ie. it should not match 'ipv6-allnodes' if the name received from DHCP was 'node'. It should only match and replace for 'node'. - You do not want to replace for all of 127 in /etc/hosts: you should not replace 127.0.0.1, but instead only "add" (replace, if necessary) 127.0.1.1; so maybe simply replace that entire line (to account for the case where multiple hostnames are set). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452202 Title: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1452202/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Maybe we can use the following regex instead, 'awk '$1 ~

case, and add 'g' option to modifity all hostname.
$ hostname=ubuntu

I am currently using this in my preseed file (tested with Ubuntu 16.04.2 mini.iso): d-i preseed/early_command string hostname=ubuntu; \ sed "s/^127.0.1.1\t.*/127.0.1.1\t$hostname/" -i /etc/hosts; \ echo "$hostname" > /etc/hostname; hostname "$hostname" Proposal: revert the current patch and suggest the above preseed config *or* modify preseed: 1. Change sed commands to something like the above. 2. Remove "f ! echo "$RET" | grep -q 'ubuntu';" such that the hostname is unconditionally set when netcfg/hostname is given. Note that "127.0.1.1\t%s" originates from netcfg-1.135ubuntu4.2, function netcfg_write_common in netcfg-common.c.

There are two problems with the patch: 1. netcfg/hostname=ubuntu (or any value containing "ubuntu") remains unfixed. 2. Certain DHCP hostnames can result in corrupting the hosts file. For example, with DHCP name "node" and "netcfg/hostname=newname" we have this command: /bin/sed -i "s/$CURRENT_HOSTNAME/$NETCFG_HOSTNAME/" /etc/hosts which would change "ff02::1 ip6-allnodes" into "ff02::1 ip6-allnewnames".

[Impact]
* DHCP hostname take precedence over netcfg/hostname, if set.
The problem is that the system read the preseed file after having run
netcfg, thus the preseed parameter cannot be loaded straight from the
start.
[Test Case]
* HOWTO reproduce :
Install Ubuntu using a preseed[1] file[2] and add the following line in the
preseed recipe :
d-i netcfg/hostname string
If the machine get a HOSTNAME from DHCP server or from a reverse lookup,
netcfg/hostname doesn't take precedence.

+ * none expected, the change is trivial and has been intensively jointly
+ tested by myself and cyphermox.
[Other Info]
* Debian bug : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755848
Patch has been submitted to Debian
* There is an old patch introduced in 2012 [Use netcfg/hostname for the
hostname if found. (Closes: #606636)] but that doesn't work as expected.
* The submitted debdiff include a script called 56netcfg-hostname under
finish-install.d that override the hostname if netcfg/hostname set at the end
of the installation.

---Problem Description---
An install using a preseed file fails to configure the hostname of the system
being installed.
Contact Information = eches...@us.ibm.com
---uname output---
Ubuntu 15.04 ppc64le
Machine Type = Tuleta pKVM guest
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
---Steps to Reproduce---
set up an automated install using a preseed file. Grub menu entry:
menuentry "Test" {
linux ubuntu-installer/ppc64el/vmlinux tasks=standard
pkgsel/language-pack-patterns= pkgsel/install-language-support=false auto=true
preseed/url=http://10.33.11.31/data/autoinst/ted.preseed
initrd ubuntu-installer/ppc64el/initrd.gz
}
The install will begin, and reach the hostname configuration screen,
then stop, waiting for input. The hostname is set in the preseed file,
which is attached.
Install method: http from ports.ubuntu.com
Install disk info: n/a
Install ISO Information: n/a
*Additional Instructions for eches...@us.ibm.com:
-Post a private note with access information to the machine that the bug is
occuring on.
== Comment: #1 - SANDHYA VENUGOPALA - 2015-04-29
06:08:18 ==
Some literature that is floating around -
when booting from an installation CD and using a preseed file on a
network, the installer will need answers to some questions (hostname,
network configuration, ...) before it can load the preseed file. On the
other hand, including a customized preseed file in a setup CD will allow
for more automation, but requires re-mastering of the CD.
The configuration of domain and host name, and keymap are still being
asked, even if you have them in your preseed file as shown above. So if
you want to kickstart the preseeded installation without a single
questions asked, append the following more options to kernel boot
prompt:
console-keymaps-at/keymap=us hostname=myhost domain=example.com
locale=en_US
Perhaps David Heller can throw some light on this and let us know if its
bug.
== Comment: #2 - Edward R. Cheslek - 2015-04-29
07:57:29 ==
I'm booting and installing from the network. Even if I leave the hostname
related options out of my preseed, it still picks up and displays the correct
hostname from dhcp.
== Comment: #3 - David Heller - 2015-05-05 14:12:52 ==
I'm not very familiar with this particular preseed option so I'm not sure how
it's supposed to behave. However, in a quick test on Ubuntu 15.04, adding
"netcfg/hostname=blah" to the kernel cmdline worked: it successfully overrode
the hostname from DHCP (the way it is usually set in my environment) with no
other changes required.
In the preseed however, I could not make it work, even if I commented
out the related lines:
#d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
#d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
d-i netcfg/hostname string blah
And looking in the installer log, it could be a order of operations
thing, since we see it picking up the hostname from DHCP before
retrieving the preseed...
# cat /var/log/syslog | egrep "hostname|seed"
May 5 16:10:16 netcfg[2270]: INFO: DHCP hostname: "myhost"

[Bug 1452202] Re: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname
Additional note about the re-work.
The original patch I have submitted works as expected by overriding the
hostname but ...
I noticed after more testing that if LVM is used partman rely on
"/etc/hostname" to name the VG[1] for instance : --vg-root.
Unfortunately, the current patch does the hostname overriden after that
the Volume Group is created which make the vg name and hostname
inconsistent.
The re-work of the patch will consist on making sure the hostname
override happens before the vgcreate to keep things consistent and not
having a vg group that display the hostname before it has been
overriden.

278 auto_lvm_perform() {
279 # Use hostname as default vg name (if available)
280 local defvgname pv vg_file vg_name

Some literature that is floating around -
when booting from an installation CD and using a preseed file on a
network, the installer will need answers to some questions (hostname,
network configuration, ...) before it can load the preseed file. On the
other hand, including a customized preseed file in a setup CD will allow
for more automation, but requires re-mastering of the CD.
The configuration of domain and host name, and keymap are still being
asked, even if you have them in your preseed file as shown above. So if
you want to kickstart the preseeded installation without a single
questions asked, append the following more options to kernel boot
prompt:
console-keymaps-at/keymap=us hostname=myhost domain=example.com
locale=en_US
Perhaps David Heller can throw some light on this and let us know if its
bug.

I'm not very familiar with this particular preseed option so I'm not sure how
it's supposed to behave. However, in a quick test on Ubuntu 15.04, adding
"netcfg/hostname=blah" to the kernel cmdline worked: it successfully overrode
the hostname from DHCP (the way it is usually set in my environment) with no
other changes required.
In the preseed however, I could not make it work, even if I commented
out the related lines:
#d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
#d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
d-i netcfg/hostname string blah
And looking in the installer log, it could be a order of operations
thing, since we see it picking up the hostname from DHCP before
retrieving the preseed...

[Bug 1452202] Re: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname
This bug is still on my list, but there hasn't been progress for the moment. The workaround I can think of to set hostname during the install would be to preseed the value on the command-line (setting netcfg/hostname=whatever along with priority=critical, etc.). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452202 Title: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netcfg/+bug/1452202/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1452202] Re: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname
Yes, I'd be the one fixing this issue -- I'm just responding to the fact that this was initially opened as "how can I make d-i not ask for the hostname, to get a fully unattended install". In this sense, the bug is "fixed", by bringing up debconf priority, the install will be unattended. Now, I'd like to have an idea on how important teaching netcfg to apply hostname again later (either from what is received from DHCP or from preseeded settings), so we know whether this changes any priorities. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452202 Title: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1452202/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1452202] Re: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname
Looks to me like you're "just" missing adding 'priority=critical' on the command-line to avoid being asked for the hostname. This happens before while the hostname is preseeded, the network needs to be brought up before it can be read, and netcfg does both bringing up the network and setting the hostname. Setting the debconf priority to 'critical' avoids the initial questions about the keymap and hostname/network settings. In other words, this means for a fully-automated, unattended preseeded install, you wouldn't need to specify hostname or keymap/locale, as SANDHYA VENUGOPALA suggested. There still appears to be a bug though, in the way that netcfg doesn't honor the preseeded settings and set the hostname in /target (or in the installer environment, for that matter). I will leave to your choice whether you want to close this bug report now, or keep it open for the netcfg bug I described, which still matches the title and description. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452202 Title: ubuntu preseed install fails to set a hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1452202/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirming/Triaged: I can reproduce this here easily; preseeded hostname should indeed get used. As I recall this isn't a new issue.
