How to get a minimal Ubuntu system

Note: There is documentation on installing a minimal system from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems. However after the 12.04 LTS release the "alternate CD" installation was dropped. The currently suggested way of installing a 'small' Ubuntu is the mini.iso see:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD .

Get mini.iso from 64-bit PC (amd64,x86_64) mini.iso
boot node into admin-mfs
Install the new mbr version 3 on the system disk
- fetch http://www.emulab.net/downloads/emulab-mbr3.dd
- dd if=emulab-mbr3.dd of=/dev/da0
Whatever is your favorite way to install a iso do it, step-by-step instructions follow.
- I could have done PXE boot method but instead I burned a CD and booted from that.
Install the OS into partition 1.

Installing minimal system from mini.iso

Note: this was done using a pc3000 and using a KVM spider to gain access to VGA monitor

From grub menu choose: 
  advanced-> expert command line install

    Make sure partition #1 is 17.2 GB and the B(oot) flag is set
      Use as: Ext3
      Format the partition
      Mount point: /
      Bootable flag: on 
    Make sure partition #3 is 3.2 GB
      Use as: swap
    Write changes to disk <Yes>

  Use software from the "multiverse" <No>
  Use backported software <No> 
  Services to use: None - deselect 'security updates'
Select and install software
    Configuring discover "No automatic updates"
Install the GRUB boot loader
  Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record? <Yes>
   
Finish the installation
  use defaults

Boot off the HD  

Login as root and run the command
   grub-install --force /dev/sda1
So the reloading state can find the boot record. We don't use the MBR booting
 
Use fdisk (or the like) and check the filesystem type for partition 1
If it does list it as LINUX (it might be FREEBSD) change it to type 83.
This needs to be set correct for imagezip to run.

To get a list of packages installed on a apt based system run the command 'dpkg --get-selections'

Note:

dpkg --get-selections The list of packages installed after the above install is here packages installed

Install necessary utilities for remote access to the system

apt-get install ssh

Give Boss ssh access

login in as root
cd /root
ssh-keygen
cd .ssh
append pub key from boss to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys. Use scp to get the key onto the system.

Can now ssh as root from bas and do the rest from a remote window.

Set console to redirect to serial port

Some documentation Serial Console

To get a login prompt on the serial port

Create a file called /etc/init/ttyS0.conf containing the following:

# ttyS0 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on ttyS0 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.
start on stopped rc or RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
exec /sbin/getty -L 115200 ttyS0 vt102

Start getty running on the serial console

start ttyS0

Redirect console messages to the serial port

edit the file /etc/default/grub

diff grub.original grub
7c7
< GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
---
> #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
9c9
< GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
---
> GRUB_TIMEOUT=4
11,12c11,12
< GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
< GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
---
> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=ttyS0,115200n8"
20a21,22
> GRUB_TERMINAL=serial
> GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200 --unit=0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"

Regenerate Grub.conf

update-grub

Install necessary packages to build emulab-client

apt-get install git autoconf make gcc g++ flex bison python byacc libtool libboost-dev
apt-get install libssl-dev libpcap-dev
apt-get install libboost-dev libmysqlclient-dev

Make and install pubsub

wget http://www.emulab.net/downloads/pubsub-0.99.tar.gz
tar -xvpf pubsub-0.99.tar.gz
cd pubsub-0.99
./configure
make
make install

Install emulab client-side code

Get emulab sources

git clone git://git-public.flux.utah.edu/emulab-devel.git
cd emulab-devel
git submodule init
git submodule update

Configure against a standard flux defs file

cd ..
mkdir obj
cd obj
../emulab-devel/configure --with-TBDEFS=../emulab-devel/defs-utahclient

Build and install the client

make client
make client-install

Make and install the ping-of-death

cd ../emulab-devel/ipod/linux_mod
make
make install
depmod -a `uname -r` (this takes a long time)

Install these packages so the system will boot (and not hang) in an emulab-client mode.

apt-get install perl nfs-common nfs-client openssl bc

Reboot node from the Hard Drive.

Watch the boot message and see if it looks like the emulab process started ok. Check for /usr/local/libexec/pubsubd, /usr/local/etc/emulab/evproxy, and ???

Removing unwanted packages

apt-get remove --purge apparmor apt-xapian-index discover discover-data geoip-database gir1.2-glib-2.0 krb5-locales laptop-detect libarchive-extract-perl libclass-accessor-perl libdiscover2 libfribidi0 libgirepository-1.0-1 liblog-message-simple-perl libmodule-pluggable-perl libmysqlcppconn7 libmysqlcppconn-dev libpam-systemd libparse-debianchangelog-perl libpod-latex-perl libterm-ui-perl libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6 libxext6 libxmuu1 mtr-tiny os-prober python3-gi python-apt xterm
remove the client source and obj build directors and anything else you added to the system

Don't let Ubuntu rename the network interfaces:

apt-get remove --purge biosdevname
update-initramfs -c -k `uname -r`

Miscellaneous system files updates

Copy standard /etc/ssh/keys from another client
- Copied over ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key.pub ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
- Removed ssh_host_ed25519_key* ssh_host_ecdsa_key*
- edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  - remove the ecdsa and ed25519 keys for protocol verson2
- edit the file /etc/default/rcS
  - and change VERBOSE option to yes
- edit the file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
  - and change "send host-name = gethostname();" > send host-name = "<hostname>";
- remove the file /etc/hostname
- vigr /etc/group to remove all users from group root except user 0, remove groups above 1000, The same with vigr
The page Problems in clientside install source that should be looked at . It is included here, all the notes should be down by hand for now.

Make an emulab image for the first time

Install grub on the first partition
grub-install --force /dev/sda1 (expect to see warning messages, it should say "Installation finished. No error reported.")

Note: Every time just before taking a snapshot do the following

reset the root password so that you know what it is if you need to come up in recovery mode
remove the file /etc/hostname
vigr /etc/group to remove all users from group root except user 0, remove groups above 1000, The same with vigr
run updatedb

In a browser go to https://www.emulab.net/newimageid_ez.php3

Make sure the image is parition 1 and the MBR version is 3.

Before submitting make sure the node is not in admin mode. If the BIOS is set to boot from the HD catch it at post-time change it to PXE boot.

Installing those packages that everyone expects

apt-get install build-essential cvs debhelper e2fslibs gconf2-common gconf-service gconf-service-backend gdb emacs24 gnupg-curl intltool-debian iproute iputils-arping jove kexec-tools lftp lvm2 lzma makedumpfile memtest86+ ntp open-iscsi open-iscsi-utils openvpn os-prober python-apt python-dbus python-dbus-dev python-gdbm python-gnupginterface python-support smartmontools ssl-cert subversion tcl8.5 tcsh ksh valgrind vlan xterm zlib1g xauth zsh plymouth-disabler

Note: Reinstall ipod if the kernel has been re-installed.

Snapshot the image back into the image-descriptor. For example navigate to The Image Descriptor and use the 'Snapshot Node Disk into Image'.

Making a global Image for the testbed

Follow the instructions for Making the image for the first time
Name the image with extension "-STD"
Check the "Global" checkbox
"Release" the image to the Testbed by running the command
- /usr/testbed/sbin/imagerelease

Table of image sizes and package lists

Stage	image.ndz size	package list

RemovingUnwantedPackages

Ubuntu Removing unwanted packages

From: "macondo"

you are right, 'apt-get remove' does not do the job throughly, the
solution to your problem, IMHO, can be solved this way, which is what
i do in order to remove everything pertaining to the package in
question:

apt-get install deborphan debfoster

#apt-get remove --purge package
#apt-get clean

the later will clean the /var

#debfoster

will show files and libraries still left after the apt-get remove
--purge, if you don't recognize a library, keep it, later on,
deborphan will give you a list of 'orphaned' libraries that are
hanging with no use, and are safe to nuke.

if you make a mistake with debfoster, type 'u' and will ask you again
if you want to keep it. When you are thru with it, invoke deborphan.

#deborphan

will give a list of libraries that are hanging just taking space, to
get rid of them:

#deborphan | xargs apt-get -y remove purge

when thru with that:

#apt-get clean
