** Summary changed: - Inconsistent behaviour between automated uniquity launch and manual launch with presseed + Ubiquity ignoring preseed file contents
** Summary changed: - Ubiquity ignoring preseed file contents + Desktop installer ignoring preseed file passed by kernel command line ** Description changed: I need to perform a partially automated installation of a desktop Ubuntu trusty. The partitioning part should be fully automated creating a entire-disk encrypted lvm. While debugging my preseeding script I have encountered an inconsisted behaviour of ubiquity. In both cases I use the same image of desktop CD with a preseed file added to the CD. Scenario 1: 1. Launch desktop live CD 2. Select "Try Ubuntu" 3. Load my preseed file with: # debconf-set-selections /cdrom/preseed/ubuntu2.seed 4. Start ubiquity: # ubiquity -d --automatic 5. Select language 6. Continue after the internet connection check and drive space check. With Secnario 1 everything works fine - the partitioning is fully automated. Scenario 2: 1. Boot a customized entry in isolinux/txt.cfg passing the preseed file in the kernel command line label live-install-test - menu label ^Install Ubuntu (test) - kernel /casper/vmlinuz.efi - append debug-ubiquity file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu2.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash + menu label ^Install Ubuntu (test) + kernel /casper/vmlinuz.efi + append debug-ubiquity file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu2.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash 2. Select language 3. Continue after the internet connection check and drive space check. With Scenario 2 I'm getting an error dialog: - "No modofications can be made to the device Encrypted volume (sda5_crypt) for the following reasons: In use by LVM volume group ubuntu-vg." + "No modifications can be made to the device Encrypted volume (sda5_crypt) for the following reasons: In use by LVM volume group ubuntu-vg." Please find the provided preseed files and the logs from the failing case. Note: this contains a patch included in #1386113 to get pass the keyfile generation error. ** Summary changed: - Desktop installer ignoring preseed file passed by kernel command line + Inconsistent behaviour between 2 ways of launching Ubiquity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386153 Title: Inconsistent behaviour between 2 ways of launching Ubiquity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1386153/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
