Who wants to test the iso with the login URLs shown in console after reboot after base install?

It’s time to do a PR in GH, and see what is needed more to integrate your changes

mrmarkuz · January 27, 2018, 11:18am

Done.

Downloading the ISO as we speak… Will fire up a VM ASAP.

I installed from the ISO in ProxMox on a VM with 1 proc/2cores, 1GB RAM and 32GB VDisk.
I chose the unattended install. All went well untill reboot. There the install hang and I had to force it to shut down and start again.
I don’t know why it hang (yet)
At first boot, the IP address was there. But as soon I rebooted again, the IP address was gone. Any idea?

Thanks for testing!

Then it works. It’s just there on the first boot. If we want it permanent we have to change the /etc/issue template. It’s only needed on first boot I think, then you are going to setup the interface.

So the question is:

I tested the unattended install with VMware and it took some time at “restore initramfs” but rebooted in the end.

Maybe I was too impatient?

mrmarkuz · January 30, 2018, 5:56pm

I put a new ISO online if you want to retest (your patience): https://smart-ict.services/mirror/mrmarkuz/7/iso/nethserver-7.4.1708-x86_64.iso

Thank you @mrmarkuz I merged your PR!

We will see this enhancement with the 7.5 ISO release! We have to remember to test this one too!

mrmarkuz · January 30, 2018, 6:28pm

It’s on my future todo list.

Hi ,

@davidep @mrmarkuz
Where is it gone? Installed three new machines with 7.7.1908 the last days and didn’t get this hint. All installed on proxmox with a static IP.
I like the variation at proxmox itself, which always shows the address.

mrmarkuz · March 12, 2020, 12:53am

The hint is there but only at the first boot of the new installed system.

m.traeumner · March 12, 2020, 6:26am

I didn’t see it at the first boot.

mrmarkuz · March 12, 2020, 7:26am

Weird, I tested it yesterday with vmware and it was there.
The code is still there:

github.com

NethServer/nethserver-createiso/blob/master/src/lib/ks/interactive#L136


      
          systemctl enable nethserver-system-init
          systemctl enable nethserver-config-network
          systemctl disable NetworkManager firewalld
          
          echo "Disable kdump..."
          systemctl disable kdump
          
          echo "Forcing system time to UTC ..."
          sed -i 's/LOCAL/UTC/' /etc/adjtime
          
          if [ -f /etc/nethserver-release ]; then
            echo "Fix /etc/issue..."
            cp -f /etc/nethserver-release /etc/issue
            echo -e 'Kernel \\r on an \\m\n' >> /etc/issue
            echo 'Access the web interface at the following URLs:' >> /etc/issue
            ip -o -4 addr | tr -s ' /' $'\t' | cut -f 4 | grep -vF 127.0.0.1 | xargs -I IP -- echo https://IP:9090 >> /etc/issue
            echo >> /etc/issue
          fi
          
          %end

Did you set the static ip during installation?

Did you use interactive install?

m.traeumner · March 12, 2020, 8:10am

Yes I did.

Yes, I did also.

I’ll have a look again at the next installation.

pike · March 12, 2020, 8:56am

Could the application of configuration override the ip configured during installation?

m.traeumner · March 12, 2020, 9:11am

It wasn’t overwritten, I only didn’t get the text.
