How to preseed printers and other stuff?
Pierre Girard
I recently started making a preseed configuration file for ubuntu
11.10. The goal is eventually to get it working on 12.04.
So far, I got the installation to work but there's still a couple things
that I don't know how to do, for example how do you create a printer
configuration in a preseed file? I can install the printer interactively
just fine with the gui, I looked at debconf-get-selections and I don't
see anything about the printers.
I have this part to select the main language and it seems to work,
except that the first time I log in it tells me support is incomplete
and that I can install more stuff. I'd like not to have to do that on
each machine.
# The values can also be preseeded individually for greater flexibility.
d-i debian-installer/language string fr
d-i debian-installer/country string CA
d-i debian-installer/locale string fr_CA.UTF-8
# Optionally specify additional locales to be generated.
d-i localechooser/supported-locales string en_CA.UTF-8
I tried to add the list of packages here, but it doesn't seem to be enough
d-i pkgsel/include string nis autofs openssh-server texmaker wfrench
firefox-locale-fr hunspell-fr poppler-data libreoffice-l10n-fr
libreoffice-help-fr hyphen-fr mythes-fr hunspell-fr thunderbird-locale-fr
The other stuff seems to get installed.
My next problem is with the keyboard. I specify this:
# Keyboard selection.
# Disable automatic (interactive) keymap detection.
d-i console-setup/ask_detect boolean false
#d-i keyboard-configuration/modelcode string pc105
d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string ca
# To select a variant of the selected layout (if you leave this out, the
# basic form of the layout will be used):
d-i keyboard-configuration/variantcode string fr
But after installation the keyboard is english us.
Is there a meta package for developpers, so instead of choosing
something like this:
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-desktop
I could do something like this:
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-developper
and get compiler, debuggers, library and headers required to write code
(C, C++, perl, python, fortran, java)?
Thanks for your help.
