I have created a preseed automated installation on my Debian jessie 8, but after installing the base packages, it returns error message error it can not use the




mirror package, please enter hostname another mirror...




But if I select the option to ignore it continues, is there any way to do this automatically via a preseed file?



Thanks



Update:
The solution




  • comment all lines referring to apt-setup and add this line



    d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false



  • Obs: Don't remove lines referring to mirror...



Example block mirror

d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string http.us.debian.org
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false

          Just a heads-up that all of the above suggestions do not work for any current Debian or Ubuntu preseeds. You will always be prompted for a mirror, unless you statically define one with something like the following:



          d-i mirror/country string manual
          d-i mirror/http/hostname string archive.ubuntu.com
          d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu/
          d-i mirror/http/proxy string


          There is no combination of other options that will bypass the mirror dialog without choosing a mirror. I've tried hundreds of combinations without luck.



          You either choose a mirror and define it statically, or you will be prompted.

            Try putting this in the preseed.cfg:



            d-i apt-setup/no_mirror boolean true

            To disable mirrors, the only lines considering mirrors should be:



            d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false


            And if you also don't want any updates (like security.debian.org), because You will configure those differently after installation and don't want to be interrupted during it if the network is down e.g. use:



            d-i apt-setup/services-select multiselect


            (without the default security, updates)



            Of course you should use a DVD or CD for installation then. To prevent being bothered with dialogue to scan other DVDs, add:



            d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-first boolean false


            This should do the trick.

                          To disable mirrors, the only lines considering mirrors should be:



                          d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false


                          And if you also don't want any updates (like security.debian.org), because You will configure those differently after installation and don't want to be interrupted during it if the network is down e.g. use:



                          d-i apt-setup/services-select multiselect


                          (without the default security, updates)



                          Of course you should use a DVD or CD for installation then. To prevent being bothered with dialogue to scan other DVDs, add:



                          d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-first boolean false


                          This should do the trick.
