Hi Everybody, My name is Tim and I work as a Senior Systems Engineer for Servers Australia, a large server hosting provider.
We run a LOT of preseeded Ubuntu installations and have noticed that in newer versions of Ubuntu, it's hanging for around 5 minutes before proceeding with the installation. Before the hang, we can see console output showing "menu item 'download-installer' selected". I cannot find how to change this option, however. I've gone through all the output of 'debconf-get-selections --installer' however, there is nothing in here mentioning the 'download-installer' menu item. I also noticed that when installing ubuntu manually from an ISO, it does pop up asking if we want to update the installer before proceeding. I'm only assuming this is the same menu item, however, perhaps I'm missing something as I can see the 'download-installer' component is part of the netboot iso as per: https://d-i.debian.org/doc/internals/ch02.html So my question is, what do we need to add to the preseed file to tell Ubuntu to NOT update the installer, and just install the system with the current version of the installer? Or is this not what's happening, and perhaps the reason for our installation hanging is related to something else?
