Public bug reported: Under https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix- preseed.html is explained how one can automate the installation of ubuntu.
But there are some misstakes/missing parts. This guide just works with the alternate-cd and not with the desktop-cd but this is not mentioned with one single word in the guide. The cause is that this guide has been written for the debian-installer which is on the alternate-cd. The desktop-cds use ubiquity which has it's own preseeding facility which differs from the debian-installer. There are also way more limitations with ubiquity, so some things can't be preseeded with it at all. To fix this bug: Explain in this guide that it's just working with the alternate-cd. Under https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed- creating.html is written one can get a list of all preseeding-options with: $ debconf-get-selections --installer > file $ debconf-get-selections >> file but those commands do also not work on a desktop-installation because the database of these questions isn't created with an installation from a desktop-cd. To fix this bug: Explain in this guide that those commands will just have success if installed from an alternate-cd. ** Affects: installation-guide (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: automated installation preseeding -- Appendix B about Automating the Installation has some misstakes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414801 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
