Why does anaconda not showing the customized installer text using a product.img in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1?
Issue
- Attempting to create a custom installer of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 and have created a
product.img
as instructed in the Desktop Migration Guide - The images are successfully being over-ridden however the installer text is not.
- Switching
TTY's
and viewing theanaconda.log
I see it say
22:37:21,887 INFO anaconda: MyDistro is the highest priority installclass, using it.
- However, the installer text still says
"RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX 7.1 INSTALLATION".
Is this correct? It was supposed to overridde the installer text once you include acustom.py
file. - The
custom.py
that has been places inproduct/run/install/product/pyanaconda/installclasses
:
from pyanaconda.installclass import BaseInstallClass
from pyanaconda.product import productName
from pyanaconda import network
from pyanaconda import nm
from pyanaconda import iutil
from pyanaconda.i18n import N_
class MyDistroInstallClass(BaseInstallClass):
# name has underscore used for mnemonics, strip if you dont need it
# id = "rhel"
name = N_("MyDistro")
sortPriority = 30000
if not productName.startswith(("MyDistro")):
hidden = 1
defaultFS = "xfs"
bootloaderTimeoutDefault = 5
bootloaderExtraArgs = []
ignoredPackages = ["ntfsprogs", "reiserfs-utils", "hfsplus-tools"]
installUpdates = False
_l10n_domain = "comps"
efi_dir = "redhat"
help_placeholder = "RHEL7Placeholder.html"
help_placeholder_with_links = "RHEL7PlaceholderWithLinks.html"
def configure(self, anaconda):
BaseInstallClass.configure(self, anaconda)
BaseInstallClass.setDefaultPartitioning(self, anaconda.storage)
# Set first boot policy regarding ONBOOT value
# (i.e. which network devices should be activated automatically after reboot)
# After switch root we set ONBOOT=no as default for all devices not activated
# in initramfs. Here, at the end of installation, we check and modify it eventually.
def setNetworkOnbootDefault(self, ksdata):
# if there is no device to be autoactivated after reboot
for devName in nm.nm_devices():
if nm.nm_device_type_is_wifi(devName):
continue
try:
onboot = nm.nm_device_setting_value(devName, "connection", "autoconnect")
except nm.SettingsNotFoundError:
continue
if not onboot == False:
return
# set ONBOOT=yes for the device used during installation
# (ie for majority of cases the one having the default route)
devName = network.default_route_device()
if not devName:
return
if nm.nm_device_type_is_wifi(devName):
return
ifcfg_path = network.find_ifcfg_file_of_device(devName, root_path=iutil.getSysroot())
if not ifcfg_path:
return
ifcfg = network.IfcfgFile(ifcfg_path)
ifcfg.read()
ifcfg.set(('ONBOOT', 'yes'))
ifcfg.write()
for nd in ksdata.network.network:
