The installer failing, or hanging was a consistent problem I was facing too. If you pull up a tty, you can access the install log (you'll likely need to make your build not headless to be able to do this if you haven't already), from the bottom of the post:
To solve issues along the way, I: * Used Alt + F2 to get a working console when the installer failed or got stuck, * Read the output of /var/log/installer/subiquity-debug.log to get the network configuration correct, * …and /var/log/syslog to debug the YAML parsing issues around the late-commands. In general, I've found the new installer works okay, just the failure cases are very confusing to dig your way out of. Re: networking: Yeah, Packer 1.6 will fix that networking problem. I have a bunch of places to go and change this and until then the workaround is fine. I'd be interested in hearing what, if any, other issues you had with that example repo though. - N On Monday, 15 June 2020 14:19:06 UTC+1, Elhanan Maayan wrote: > > hi, i've seen several versions of this boot commands, yours was one of the > ones that didn't work , but that did work > was this, (with that autoinstall before the ---) otherwise i would just > get the regular boot > > > "<esc><wait><esc><wait><f6><wait><esc><wait>", > "<bs><bs><bs><bs><bs>", > "autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/ ", > "--- <enter>" > > > > yes there is a legacy iso, but it's considered discontinued /unsupported > > i do have other issues, each time i specify packages: and other packages i > want to import , the installer hangs or crashes , and i can't the crash > output > i also want it to start with NetworkManager in netplan and i think it also > crashes when i try that. > > additionaly i think packer 1.6.0 solved the problem with ssh and ip > https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/8528 > > > > > On Monday, June 15, 2020 at 1:31:52 PM UTC+3, Nick Charlton wrote: >> >> The new installer needs a new boot command and preseed approach entirely. >> These should help you out: >> >> https://github.com/nickcharlton/packer-ubuntu-2004 >> >> https://nickcharlton.net/posts/automating-ubuntu-2004-installs-with-packer.html >> >> Back when I published these, I did try it out with VirtualBox and it >> worked (I happen to have a preference for VMWare but it's not important to >> this). >> >> I _think_ there's an ISO that Ubuntu host that continues to have the old >> installer (which I think bento might have gone with?), but it'd be more >> future proof to embrace the new installer. >> >> Let me know if you have any questions! >> >> - Nick >> >> On Saturday, 13 June 2020 19:29:32 UTC+1, Benjamin Lu wrote: >>> >>> Sorry, yeah well it seems like it only has the live dvd which doesn't >>> have. the actual without the live one.
