The desktop distro is different from the server version, and there
currently isn't a signature for it. I have gotten it to work via 'distro
add', but import won't work quite yet.
You can modify the signatures yourself (it's just JSON) if you want to
experiment with it.

I have not been using cobbler in a while but now I need to. I
basically
need to install virtual guests (running under the Mac OS X version of
Virtual Box...and I have a Mac OS X host). My goal is to import the Ubuntu
13.04 amd64 desktop distribution into cobbler and then have my VirtualBox
guest pxe boot to the installer for itand do the entire install over the
network.
Cobbler version:
[root@cobbler1 ~]# cobbler version
Cobbler 2.4.0
source: 923574f, Thu Jun 20 00:42:48 2013 -0500
build time: Sun Aug 4 11:58:30 2013
On reading the documentation on
cobblerd.org for Distros:
"In general, it’s really a lot easier to follow the import workflow -- it
only requires waiting for the mirror content to be copied and/or scanned.
Imported mirrors also save time during install since they don’t have to hit
external installation sources. Please read the Cobbler Import <
http://www.cobblerd.org/**manuals/2.4.0/4/2/4_-_Import.**html<http://w...
documentation for more details."
...I decided to try this without first creating "distro" or "system"
objects:
cobbler import --path=/media/stuff --name=ubuntu-13-x86_64 --arch=x86_64
I have this result:
received on stderr:
Found a matching signature: breed=ubuntu, version=raring
Adding distros from path /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/**
ubuntu-13-x86_64-x86_64:
No distros imported, bailing out
!!! TASK FAILED !!!
Do I need to manually create a "distro" and "system" first?
Thanks
