Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
NOTE: tested using Intrepid (8.10)
When using oem-config mode (oem-config/enable=true) along with a preseed
file, you cannot preseed all options of Ubiquity. The page in which you
would normally select the oem user's password, and the system's hostname
is always displayed.
I suspect this is due to the fact that you cannot preseed netcfg values
when using Ubiquity. As a result, there is no way to preseed the
hostname value that is on this page, causing Ubiquity to always display
it.
Looking at the behavior of the same page when not in oem-config mode, it
appears that the hostname is by default automatically set (as you type)
to "username-desktop" or "username-laptop." As a result, preseeding
works just fine when in normal mode. Whatever you specify as the
username is simply placed as the first section of the hostname.
I propose that the same is true using oem-config mode: the default
hostname in this field should be "oem-desktop" or "oem-laptop." The
user could of course override this when in installing normally, but
adding this should allow Ubiquity to be fully preseeded in oem-config
mode, just like normally.
