I ran into the following today too. Looking at the debian installer source (http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/CheckOut) it looks like support for the "enter information manually" strings have been removed in favour of "manual" . So the example from William at response #8 should be:
d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/http/countries string manual d-i mirror/http/hostname string yourmirror-here.org d-i mirror/http/mirror string yourmirror-here.org d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu d-i mirror/suite string natty d-i mirror/http/proxy string And Christian Orth (#9) would not work because the string should be "manual" and not "manual de". I am attaching the contents of "git show bb1bdcaa4eecfc47b69420c0687eb3c2bc8e1d01" from the source. The changelog message was: 'Drop backwards compatibility for preseeding "manual" mirror selection. Change was introduced in Lenny. One release is enough for backwards compatibility support.' I am guessing that there is a lot of documentation out there that needs to be changed now. ** Attachment added: "bb1bdcaa4eecfc47b69420c0687eb3c2bc8e1d01.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/659632/+attachment/3209527/+files/bb1bdcaa4eecfc47b69420c0687eb3c2bc8e1d01.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659632 Title: netinstall refuses to use local mirror To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/659632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
