Very very nice findings @mfo, thanks a lot! That explains everything - likely in my test I've added the parameter _before_ the line ending...

Issues reproducible with ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso. Apparently, ctrl-c does not stop the integrity check anymore because casper-md5check runs as systemd service/disconnected from plymouth. Per [1], iiuic. -- Well, this is _not_ a bug. So, fsck.mode=skip is the only option available.

We're in the process of installing 20.04 on machines at the end of a very long VPN so the large ISO size is a real pain. To work-around the integrity check I cracked the ISO open and replaced md5sum.txt with my own that covered just the autoinstall files I wanted to track.

Created an account to leave this update. 20.04.4 LTS (ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso) still exhibits this behavior - adding the boot to the provided ISO does NOT skip the integrity check. Unfortunately, in my use case, I have to use 20.04 (because 18.04 is old enough it can't recognize my network devices), so can't use the FAR more efficient workaround provided in Comment #11. Would the installer team please address this: 1) (Preferred) Make the media check an opt-in feature of the ISO, or, failing that, 2) Provide a well-documented, functional command line parameter that skips the media check on the ISO Because right now, "fsck.mode=skip" does NOT skip the media check, and I'm losing significant time trying to get this first node set up (so I can set up a local repository and not have to go through this time sink on every other server I'm supposed to be deploying tonight) because this issue that was initially raised 18 months ago, that was a functional regression from the previous LTS release ISO functionality, is still not resolved. :( Thank you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892369 Title: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1892369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1892369] Re: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso
This is still completely unworkable for me. I'm installing 20.04.3 on a rack server via the LOM, and at no time while the system was starting up did I see anywhere I could set command line options - it went from the firmware talking about scanning the bus to "No Signal" to the kernel starting to boot in the space of about 3 seconds. And even if there was a splash screen that allowed me to press a key to set options as comments above imply there should be, it takes the firmware in this box two and half minutes to get to the point where the ISO is booting. So to make use of it, I'd have to be glued to my monitor for that long to make sure I didn't miss the window of how many seconds it's supposed to appear for. I could be spending more time waiting for the opportunity to press a key than I would spend answering the installer questions. As things stands, #11 appears to be the best solution I've got and I think that's absolutely ridiculous. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892369 Title: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1892369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Fun fact: When trying to enter the "advanced options" in the welcome screen to notify the installer to not do an integrity check, Supermicro IPMI KVM-Viewer has assigned the F6 Button to "Macro for send CTRL-ALT- DELETE".

[Bug 1892369] Re: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso
@gpiccoli I've mentioned this bevore in #13 > Why the heck is a CTRL+C during integrity check not > enough expression of my will to skip that process? Just now I am in the same hazzle again. I've pressed E during boot, tried to apply fsck.skip=false, but via IPMI, the keyboard layout is somewhat dice-rolled. So again, the integrity check wasn't skipped and I had 40 minutes to think about restarting over or just get out of the house to have a walk with the dog. After returning, I tried to express another wish to the installer by hitting "Skip updates". Of course, the update after the setup wasn't skipped. Due to high IO (because of RAID), the update process takes another 15 minutes now and still isn't finished. This installer is entirely unusable in manual datacenter operations. It is *that* unusable, that I think about creating my own installer ISO with customized scripts for the installation process, just for skipping integrity checks and autoupdates. I also want to use the ISO over IPMI to enter a rescue console. Again, there must be an integrity check before I can use it. For now, I use Ubuntu 18.04 for that. Please consider respecting the users commands given to the installer. There may be cases, where the user knows what he wants.

[Bug 1892369] Re: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso
Sorry, but that's not true. The integrity check, when booting from a virtual CD-ROM, as it is common with servers equipped with remote consoles on hardware management boards (iLO, iDRAC, CIMC tec.) still takes ages. The integrity check is faster instead, when the operating system is installed in a VM and the ISO is mounted directly as a CD into the VM. But the workaround Camille mentioned works. I've used this on a Cisco CIMC. So don't forget to hit "e" on the install screen. This definitely saves time.

IIRC I was able to use the parameter Dimitri suggested on Groovy ISO, but it didn't work in Focal 20.04.1 ISO. That said, we now have Ubuntu 20.04.2 ISO - can you give it a try Sebastian, with "fsck.mode=skip" set?

[Bug 1892369] Re: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso
I agree. I understand the situation, why this integrity check came up and is considered as helpful for users installing their OS with a broken USB Stick. But in case of Non-MAAS datacenter operations (SMC IPMI for me), this feature is an entire pain. Although connected to the ISO via an 1 GBps connection, it takes 25 minutes to complete the integrity check. After that, the entire setup is (almost) made within four minutes. Until... the unskippable "Installing security Updates" happens, which can be cancelled, when its finished. Srsly, I would highly appreciate any efforts to give one a chance to reliably skip integrity check and security patches during a server installation. Netboot is not an option for me, as in a datacenter with public IPv4/v6 assignments, I prefer manual IP assignments. Therefore, no DHCP is available during setup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892369 Title: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1892369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Seriously, why are you asking this? To test it, just run the installation media on any computer or virtual machine, use real keyboard and mouse or virtual ones, this doesn't change anything. I didn't test the "fsck.mode=skip" command line option but this should be an option that doesn't need the user to enter command line option to begin with. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892369 Title: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1892369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1892369] Re: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso
separately remote iso mounting may be slow, thus you should try netbooting instead. one can copy the kernel & initrd out of the iso. Boot them, with cmdline: ip=dhcp url=http://hostname/url/to/matching-full.iso That way, initrd will establish networking and will download iso into ram, validate it very quickly, and boot. This usually yields faster install times. If your target machine has enough RAM, something like more than 4GB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892369 Title: Impossible to skip integrity test for ubuntu-server 20.04.1 iso To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1892369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
