OpenSUSE 16 CLI Install Config

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,

I’ve been trying to perform an offline install of the newest aarch openSUSE 16 image remotely (no gui available) using the Agama CLI Installer, but can’t find a working config.

This what I have at the moment:

 
 {
   "hostname": {
     "transient": "agama",
     "static": ""
   },
   "root": {
     "password": "root",
     "hashedPassword": false
   },
   "software": {
     "patterns": [
       "selinux"
     ],
     "packages": []
   },
   "product": {
     "id": "openSUSE_Leap"
   },
   "storage": {
     "drives": [
       {
         "alias": "bootDisk",
         "search": "/dev/sda",
         "ptableType": "gpt",
         "partitions": [
           {
             "search": "*",
             "delete": true
           },
           {
             "filesystem": {
               "path": "/"
             },
             "size": {
               "min": "10 GiB"
             }
           },
           {
             "filesystem": {
               "path": "swap",
               "type": "swap"
             },
             "size": "2 GiB"
           }
         ]
       }
     ],
     "boot": {
       "configure": true,
       "device": "bootDisk"
     }
   },
   "network": {
     "connections": [
       {
         "id": "Wired connection 1",
         "method4": "auto",
         "method6": "auto",
         "ignoreAutoDns": false,
         "interface": "eth0",
         "status": "up",
         "autoconnect": true,
         "persistent": true
       }
     ]
   },
   "localization": {
     "language": "en_US.UTF-8",
     "keyboard": "us",
     "timezone": "Europe/Berlin"
   }
 }

Its a valid config (I’ve tried versions with various changes to the storage section) but I keep seeing a “Cannot perform the installation as the settings are not valid”. “agama questions list” returns an empty too.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Here the link to the general documentation. Maybe there are some hints:

@Kv1n20 I fixed your syntax use Markdown eg <```json> and finish with <```> :wink: Note: I had to add <> so those are not needed…

Connect a serial cable and use minicom? You can login via a web browser from a remote machine to the installer?

Hi @malcolmlewis,
Thank you for the syntax :grin:
Unfortunately the networking doesn’t work so I can’t really use a web browser :disappointed:
I am connected to the terminal and have been trying to use it for installation but the agama CLI docs aren’t very specific about the required settings.

Thanks @hui. I’ve looked through them and added in the relevant bits and pieces (the storage details) but no luck.
