Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Ubuntu release: natty daily from 20110301
Ubiquity version: 2.5.21, revno 392
It used to be that we could get preseeded, automated installations to reboot
when finished by setting:
ubiquity ubiquity/reboot boolean true
However, this stopped working recently. I found out that we now need to
set two values in order for the system to reboot when finished:
ubiquity ubiquity/reboot boolean true
ubiquity ubiquity/poweroff boolean true
I tracked down the change to Ubiquity 2.5.13 where code was added to
ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py and ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py, to fix bug
#690726. Starting in that version, for the system to *either* reboot or
shutdown (the latter via ubiquity/poweroff), *both* of these options
have to be set to true.
The code expresses this but it seems to me that it's incorrect, and one
should be able to get a reboot or shutdown by setting only the actual,
desired value. What's more, if they are both set, ubiquity/reboot takes
precedence because it comes first in the code, meaning that the section
of code that issues a shutdown will never get called.
The problem line (610 on gtk_ui.py, 483 on kde_ui.py) says:
elif not self.get_reboot_seen() or not self.get_shutdown_seen():
should be:
elif not self.get_reboot_seen() and not self.get_shutdown_seen():
or (I think it's clearer):
elif not (self.get_reboot_seen() or self.get_shutdown_seen()):
The attached patch implements the proposed changes.
