ubuntu: include apache2 during rootstock process

GoogleGroups

Hello,
I am just wondering if it is possible to add packages such as apache2,
php5, openssh-server, proftpd during the process of creating the SD
card.
I have tried to add those to --seed parameter but it ended up with
some error messages. Perhaps, I misunderstood something?

The reason why I want to have those packages preinstalled is that I
dont want to do "apt-get install apache2...." everytime I build a new
beagleboard SD card.

Thanks in advance,
regards Meereck

Hello Meereck,

When I do:
sudo rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login meereck --password mypass --
imagesize 2G --dist karmic \
--serial ttyS2 --seed mc,minicom,openssh-
server,apache2,php5,libapache2-mod-php5,proftpd,wget,linux-
firmware,wireless-tools,usbutils,build-essential,xfce4,gdm,xubuntu-gdm-
theme,xubuntu-artwork \
--kernel-image http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/karmic/v2.6.32.9-x9.1/linux-image-2.6.32.9-x9.1_1.0karmic_armel.deb

after about 20 minutes of processing it ends up with
....
Setting up miscfiles (1.4.2.dfsg.1-9) ...
install-info: warning: maintainer scripts should not call install-info
anymore,
install-info: warning: this is handled now by a dpkg trigger provided

The console turns into a blue color afterwards.
Thanks

It should also be pointed out that rootstock does not exit after those
messages.
It cleans up if I press CTRL+C, the log is also available.

Yeah... That's what happens when a package requires user input on
install, screen goes blue... However the qemu session is setup to not
take user input so it locks up... It's hard to say which package is
causing the bug...

Thanks for a hint, I am sure that proftpd requires user interaction.
I will try to leave out "proftpd" package from --seed, and I will see
whether it was the cause.
I will let you guys know,

Cheers

The issue was apparently caused by proftpd package.
Shall it be reported anywhere?

Cheers
