Public bug reported: Image: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
The suffix of hostname is too long and makes ubiqutiy automatic installation failed because suffix contains the warring message of dmidecode. Here is the error message in /var/log/installer/debug when installtion is failed. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-usersetup.py", line 394, in info_loop self.hostname_error(make_error_string(self.controller, errors)) File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-usersetup.py", line 69, in make_error_string return "\n".join([controller.get_string(error) for error in errors]) TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, NoneType found In automation installtion, ubiquity uses product name from BIOS as hostname suffix by parsing dmidecode output, but if a SMBIOS version is large thatn the version dmidecode supported, the output of `dmidecode -s system-product-name` or `dmidecode -s system-version` contains the following warring message, so that hostname suffix is invalid. The warring message is ```` # SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.7 are not # fully supported by this version of dmidecode. ```` **** Additional information: ubiquity package version: ii ubiquity 2.10.26 Ubuntu live CD installer ii ubiquity-casper 1.315.1 Configuration hooks for live installer ii ubiquity-frontend-gtk 2.10.26 GTK+ frontend for Ubiquity live installer ii ubiquity-plugin-apt-setup 1.1 Ubiquity plugin - apt-setup ii ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu 58.2 Ubiquity slideshow for Ubuntu ii ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork 2.10.26 Ubuntu artwork for Ubiquity live installer ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "ubiquity_debug.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236233/+attachment/3863835/+files/ubiquity_debug.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236233 Title: BIOS that SMIBIOS is not fuly supported by dmidecode causes image autmatic installation fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1236233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
