| xfxf | CarlFK: you mentioned ansible last night and if I was going to use it - what's the state of it at the moment? | 01:15 |
|---|---|---|
| xfxf | i'm going to hopefully fire off imaging some recording machines later today to be used tomorrow | 01:15 |
| xfxf | worst case scenario I take two of the mix machines and alter config by hand, but would prefer to use ansible | 01:15 |
| CarlFK | xfxf: it's fixed now | 01:55 |

| CarlFK | don't worry about markup errors, I'm hoping git isn't rending it the same as ... sphinx I think | 02:08 |
| CarlFK | I think it has all the text it needs, but could use some shuffling around to put the "First time users" at the top and not 3/4 of the way down the page. | 02:09 |

| xfxf | ah, ta. goign to see if the PXE installer still works, just point it to a new subdir I added | 11:53 |
| xfxf | https://github.com/xfxf/av-foss-stack/commit/196a9f345dda0514843c5de449e4584c9561ec91 | 11:53 |
| tpb | Title: Adds RubyConfAU 2019 setup · xfxf/av-foss-stack@196a9f3 · GitHub (at github.com) | 11:53 |
| xfxf | lets see if i did anything dumb in there | 11:53 |
| xfxf | static_ip wasn't set for all the rooms for LCA, just some | 11:54 |
| tumbleweed | I wonder if they just weren't ansible-uped since it changed | 11:55 |
| xfxf | as in they're not in the host_vars files for a lot of the machines | 11:55 |
| xfxf | i just added it to the above, it's a single room | 11:55 |
| xfxf | PXE booting, fingers crossed | 11:56 |
| xfxf | 'stretch HOSTNAME' appearing in grub is a good sign the mac address was wrong, right? | 11:57 |
| xfxf | (i vaguelyr ecall something like that from last year) | 11:57 |
| *** roga has joined #lca-av | 11:57 | |
| xfxf | ah, nope, seems to have worked once into d-i | 11:57 |
| xfxf | trying the USB builder now too with the same repo | 12:17 |
| tumbleweed | it doesn't need to be in host vars on individual machines | 12:18 |
| xfxf | bah, installed ok, rebooted, complaining about waiting for 1.1.1.1 then said ansible failed :( | 12:21 |
| *** roga has quit IRC | 12:24 | |
| *** roga has joined #lca-av | 12:27 | |
| tumbleweed | it'll say why it failed above that | 12:34 |
| xfxf | yeah i figured it out | 12:35 |
| xfxf | didn't setup the hostname/mac in dnsmasq's static machines | 12:35 |
| xfxf | think it's working now, reimaging | 12:35 |
| xfxf | my first hunch - that HOSTNAME was showing in grub - was correct. is showing the hostname now | 12:35 |
| tumbleweed | yes, that's a clear sign of a problem | 12:37 |
| xfxf | i'm yet to finish a working install so i'm speaking prematurely but this is a lot simpler than I expected | 12:38 |
| xfxf | (i usually go off and do my own thing at non-LCA's. is good to use this to image up a new conf) | 12:39 |
| tumbleweed | :P | 12:39 |
| tumbleweed | whatever works | 12:39 |
| tumbleweed | but yes, it shouldn't be that hard | 12:39 |
| tumbleweed | you just need to learn a few common mistakes | 12:39 |
| xfxf | that's the mentality i'm usually in, but it's better to actually used the shared infrastucture/code | 12:39 |
| xfxf | the USB creation script is taking forever (slow mirror); does that put an entire debian install onto the USB stick, or just netboot and the right bits to kick off an install? | 12:41 |
| xfxf | i won't have internets where I am tomorrow, would be neat if the USB was fully self contained. guessing it isn't and it needs an internet connection? | 12:41 |
| tumbleweed | just netboot | 12:43 |
| xfxf | right | 12:43 |
| tumbleweed | but, like the pxe, it can use an apt caching proxy | 12:43 |
| tumbleweed | the ansbible part needs internet anyway | 12:43 |
| xfxf | ya, i'm thinking of conferences where there's literally zero infrastructure and the setup is a crossover cable | 12:43 |
| tumbleweed | configure those beforehand | 12:44 |
| xfxf | that said, more rare than they used to be these days | 12:44 |
| xfxf | nod, but the thing i like about this setup is being able to image up another machine quickly | 12:44 |
| xfxf | for this one, i'll just do my usual thing of take a second full room setup, and swap in the laptops / change configs by hand | 12:44 |
| xfxf | i guess ansible-up is moot if there's no internet connection anyway, so it'll be manual config regardless :P | 12:44 |

| xfxf | tumbleweed: hmm, so the machines that have the opsis role in hosts are trying to install hdmiusbd, and failing | 13:14 |
| xfxf | which is perplexing as that seems to be conditional based on serial_terminal containing hdmi2usbd - it doesn't... | 13:14 |
| xfxf | any ideas? | 13:14 |
| tumbleweed | it must | 13:17 |
| tumbleweed | I agree that it looks fine in your rubyconfau2019 directory | 13:19 |
| xfxf | wierd - any ideas apart from me duplicating the debconf-video repo, hacking out the hdmi2usb bits and then pointing my installer to using that? | 13:20 |
| xfxf | the ansible conditional parts look fine to me, can't see why it would be happening | 13:21 |
| tumbleweed | what ansible command is being run? | 13:22 |
| tumbleweed | screenshot of the error? | 13:22 |
| xfxf | re-running install, will take a photo when it errors again | 13:30 |

| tpb | Title: Imgur: The magic of the Internet (at imgur.com) | 13:43 |
| tumbleweed | ah, so it's not trying to install | 13:45 |
| tumbleweed | xfxf: try again now | 13:46 |
| xfxf | ta | 13:46 |
| xfxf | can i ansible-up or do i need to re-run the entire install? | 13:46 |
| tumbleweed | ansible-up, yes | 13:46 |
| xfxf | oh ha, an escaping error? | 13:47 |
| xfxf | my IDE was actually highlighting those lines wierdly but i assumed it was parsing them wrong | 13:47 |
