Issue with preseeded install - cannot skip apt media scanning
Hi debian-wizards, I'm seeking your wisdom, since I'm almost banging my head against the wall... Any ideas how to get rid of the described error and achieve fully unattended Debian install? Thanks in advance, any suggestion will be much appreciated! Jerzy The issue: While using preseed file, regardless of any setting, debian installer (dialog) jumps off to interactive mode on error: "Apt configuration problem. An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the media failed". This happens just after installing the base system. After pressing continue - apt scans mirror correctly and the rest of the process goes unattended till the end. Preseed file includes (whole file can be here: http://paste.debian.net/1257950/): <...> d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-first boolean false d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-next boolean false d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-failed boolean false apt-cdrom-setup apt-setup/cdrom/set-first boolean false apt-cdrom-setup apt-setup/cdrom/set-nextboolean false apt-cdrom-setup apt-setup/cdrom/set-double boolean false apt-cdrom-setup apt-setup/cdrom/set-failed boolean false <...> The boot command: auto=true priority=critical preseed/url=http://[IP:port]/debian-preseed.txt ISO file used for installation: debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-11.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso Additional info: >From https://preseed.einval.com/debian-preseed/bullseye/amd64-main-full.txt it seems that only apt-setup/cdrom/set-failed should be sufficient: ### Description: Scan extra installation media? # An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the # media failed. # . # Please check that the media has been inserted correctly. # d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-failed boolean true Unfortunately this does not work :/

Does anyone has a working preseed file for fully unattended Bullseye netinstall? :) Anyway, continuing: seems like list software purges some characters, ofc. boot command line is: auto=true priority=critical preseed/url= http://ip_address_colon_mark_port/debian-preseed.txt Additionally I uploaded console log screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/lKtgqyZ.png and error itself (from d-i): https://imgur.com/eZbMPTy.png Commenting out (as follows) some of the options didn't help either: d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-first boolean false d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-next boolean false d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-failed boolean false ##d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-double boolean false ##d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean true ##d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true ##d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true ##d-i apt-setup/disable-cdrom-entries boolean true d-i tasksel/first multiselect SSH server netcfg netcfg/target_network_config select ifupdown bootstrap-base base-installer/kernel/image select linux-image-amd64 d-i popularity-contest/participate boolean false ##apt-cdrom-setup apt-setup/cdrom/set-first boolean false ##apt-cdrom-setup apt-setup/cdrom/set-next boolean false ##apt-cdrom-setup apt-setup/cdrom/set-double boolean false ##apt-cdrom-setup apt-setup/cdrom/set-failed boolean false ##apt-mirror-setup apt-setup/use_mirror boolean true ##apt-mirror-setup apt-setup/no_mirror boolean false ##apt-mirror-setup apt-setup/non-free boolean true ##apt-mirror-setup apt-setup/disable-cdrom-entries boolean true ##apt-setup-udeb apt-setup/services-select multiselect security, updates ##apt-setup-udeb apt-setup/security_host string security.debian.org ##apt-setup-udeb apt-setup/disable-cdrom-entries boolean true ##apt-setup-udeb apt-setup/enable-source-repositories boolean false ###d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server vim mc net-tools python3.9 sudo ###d-i pkgsel/upgrade select full-upgrade Best, Jerzy
