#219780 — Offline install from CD - not allowed to install SSH server

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello guys,

sorry if this is documented somewhere but today I decided to ask here as it 
is something fundamental I cannot understand. After 20 years I decided to 
try Debian again (as VM for start). I am installing it from debian-10.3.0-
amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso. As it is in remote location with problematic Internet 
access I wanted to do offline install. After several attempts I figured out 
that it is not possible to install SSH server from "Install" menu (text 
mode) if I will do it as offline install without allowing to use mirror. 
Which makes no sense. If I have Internet access then I can do easy apt-get 
update && apt install openssh-server so no need to install it from install 
menu. But when I have no Internet then I will end with machine without any 
remote access and no easy way to fix that. I have checked the ISO image and 
SSH server should be on it (/pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-server_7.9p1-10+deb
10u2_amd64.deb) so that's also not reason why it is not offered to install 
it without allowing mirror.




Software selection screens:

Offline (not selecting the mirror): https://paste.pics/207074a621d7329f025a
519e8d835363

Online: https://paste.pics/a5401240d365799e2b7768e009c8dec8







So can anybody enlighten me why it is set like this and if it is possible to
do anything with it (fill a bug? against which package?), please?







Kind regards,

--

This is a cd where I would try a DVD.

If I'm not mistaking, this is the SSH server used during installation
but not after installation.

The installer uses 'udeb' packages, the 'deb's are for the final system.

Kind regards,

When you say offline, do you just mean that you're not selecting a
mirror? Or do you mean that you're not connected to the Internet at all?
I could see that it might decide not to bother with networking software
if there's no network - but I haven't done a CD-only installation in
years; I normally use netinst.

And when you say it's remote - do you mean you're connecting to it
remotely somehow, or just that it's a long way from the rest of the
world, but you're still sitting in front of it?

Is this CD #1 of the set of 3 or 4 or more? The .deb you are looking for 
may be on one of the other CDs.


I agree with the suggestion to try the DVD.   Seems the 'netinstall' is 
the opposite of what you need.


I get that you'd like to complete the install without connecting if you 
have a flaky internet, but if you're not connected, I don't see how the 
install will set up you debian mirror.

No I didn't. The OP (Cichas) did.

I doubt very much openssh-server got pushed off the first CD. Especially
since the OP found the deb on the ISO image.

I agree the netinstall image might not have it, but the OP isn't using
the netinstall image.

Okay.  As an "Informed Responder", I thought I would do something, related
to this Thread.  It is noted in another Thread, with a question about
Non-Free Firmware on a separate USB Stick.  But I downloaded Buster 10.3
Gnome Live DVD, and am trying to get a "Live DVD" Gnome Environment running
on a Lenovo Ideapad 320 Laptop.  Now, this Laptop has two, main Non-Free
Firmware Requirements:  amdgpu for Graphics and ath10k for Wifi.  To
support an earlier Buster netinst CD install, I put those Non-Free Firmware
bin files on a 16G USB Stick (formatted as vfat), with the proper Directory
Structure (which needs to be documented better).  At the right time, the
netinst install took the aht10k Firmware from that USB, allowing me to use
it with WiFi, without an Ethernet connection.

Now, you are asking the Original Poster of *this* Thread to use a Buster
DVD, instead of "CD-1".  I think both of us would be happier, if there was
an "Expert Path" towards booting this DVD, mainly allowing us to provide
Non-Free Firmware.

What do you think?  Thanks!

Not a real answer to your question, but you could build an install 
Blu-ray with the jigdo-tool.

https://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

The current first one (buster) you can create is 21 GB in size.
There are 4 Blu-rays in total.
You need a writer/reader for those disks of course, 
not sure if dd to an USB flash drive works with the Blu-ray iso-file.
I use a special USB flash drive which supports booting from iso-files,
the IODD mini (I did just a test, the debian install Blu-ray iso-file
boots fine)

Hope this helps

Did the installer add the CD to your sources.list? (it should have)
If yes, the try 'apt install openssh-server' after the installation is 
complete with the CD in the drive.

If this succeeds you should probably file an installation report

    reportbug installation-report

Kind regards,
Andrei
