tvsutton: so I'm going to squash those commits, but

Name: PuppetAgent 1.2.2 testing PkgInfo Path: support/Puppet/PuppetAgent10.10-1.2.2.plist Pkg Repo Path: support/Puppet/puppetagent10.10-1.2.2.dmg

tvsutton: ^ that look right?

I also added OS_VERSION to the input stanza on the munki recipe and verified override-ability

I kaleidoscope'd the payloads, they compiled everything from the vendored ruby to the support libs for the specific version of darwin, and recommend uninstall/reinstall before/after OS upgrades

zalmoxes: around?

He volks, i need your help. I have to deploy firefox esr in 32-bit mode.. So i wanted to handle this over com.apple.LaunchServices, but this does not work. Any other Ideas ?

'handle this'?

implement

sorry, where does launchservices come into play?

The normal way to turn 32 bit mode on is the "Info" Tab from the App. I did that with an open Session in Composer

and the OS writes the State in Launchservices.plist

vollerempfang, did you see this post? https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion....

it's a couple years old but it may work

yes already seen

didn work

all staff email: "There is a Silver Mercedes Benz with Virginia license plate #VDY 9279 in the upper parking lot. Will the owner please move your car, you are parked in two spaces."

this is when people should just bring out the pallet jack and deal with it

meh, just deflate the tires.

that makes it harder to move

yeah, but the owner remembers better. Hand them a bike pump.

Sure, but it doesn't free up the spot which is the goal. Some move it then deflate

Allister: Looks good to me

great!

I remember someone here saying they did away with deploystudio by mounting new machines over target disk mode and installing a pkg to them to set up munki and such

if thats true I want to pick your brain, because I need to figure out how to build a package that will allow me to install to a TDM volume!

you can target the install with the installer command

if you have scripts be sure it's referencing the path as $3/path/on/disk

or if you use the GUI just select the mounted disk when prompted

refreshingapathy yeah, like eholtam said, you can install packages to any volume you want by targeting it, it's a default feature of all packages. Some are not built properly to do that, and some block that feature, but most packages work out of the box

nice thing about pkgs, all they're SUPPOSED to do is put a payload on a relative destination with owners and perms

it's the type of thing tehLuggs helped me wrap my brain around

eholtam: rustymyers thank you. I'm building these with Packages and it's being a bit weird. I suspect I missed a checkbox somewhere

also, installer is probably a better way than a gui. will play with it this morning, thanks again.

👍

just, wow https://twitter.com/jonathantimar/status/626269...

epic

comedy is 50% repetition and 50% repetition

just ask SNL

meanwhile in my world, our helpdesk is still on XP

I think I've seen Apple Pro Apps do the same modal dialog

refreshingapathy: If you aren't including scripts, you have to go out of your way to build a package that won't install on an alternate volume

G'day.

gneagle: any suggestions on how to get Packages to add a dotfile to payload? or should I suck it up and just use pkgbuild manually for that part

actually... I can just wrap this all up on a bash script and it'd be cleaner for my use case anyhow

cancel that :)

refreshingapathy: I find Packages too confusing. I just use pkgbuild.

Maybe take a look at munkipkg? https://github.com/munki/munki-pkg

Boils things down to the basics.

Folder of files. The end.

its on my list of things you do to read and use, gneagle :)

that list is long. stop being so helpful.

you're welcome!

I'm very sad that the PSU "The 12 Unix Commands everyone should know" session was not recorded.

morning

I've been checking the Youtube page, no videos yet

foigus - rm -rf /

heh

hmmph.

Only command you need to know

It's not for me

create user pkg doesnt like running on TDM macs I guess.

the more I play with this the more I wonder if I should just set up imagr and be done with it

MagerValp, createuserpkg can be run on a non-boot volume?

oh, I forgot he idled here. good looks eholtam

be run?

Installed onto?

targeted

yep

installed onto

hmm, what am I doing wrong I wonder

applied against

I used it to "break into" a computer at an acquisition

installer -pkg createuserpkg.pkg -target /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD\ 1/ and it says success, but booting up in single user mode doesn't show the user

ls -al /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD\ 1/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users

Your user in there?

hmm, yes foigus

the user is in there, but no home folder.

That's ok, the home is created when you log in

except when I boot, it goes to the setup screen rather than loginwindow

(yes I touched /var/db/.AppleSetupDone)

That's different

at least I think I did.

/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD\ 1/var/db/.AppleSetupDone

nope I didn't

err

typod that path when I did that

There's also .SetupRegComplete

thanks for confirming I'm a moron, bash history.

also in /var/db?

thats one I didnt know about

cool beans. it was all .AppleSetupDone being fatfingered
