The preseed file on the d-i test system I looked at said "d-i passwd/username string root" - so this looks like either a utah bug or an incorrect utah setup. ** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => utah ** Changed in: utah Assignee: (unassigned) => Max Brustkern (nuclearbob) -- You receiv

This is the rsyslog script referenced in the previous script. {{dest}} is filled in with an rsyslog host or serial connection configured by the installer. ** Attachment added: "50-utahdefault.conf.jinja2" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1157065/+attachment/3583398/+fil

I'll try to recreate this with that option on. The same issue is affecting debian-installer based images, so I'm inclined to think it's something outside of casper, and possibly outside of ubiquity as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is s

The preseed is packed into the initrd by utah. For d-i images, putting preseed.cfg at the root of the initrd seems to do the trick. For casper/ubiquity, we use a casper-bottom script to copy preseed.cfg into the root of the live filesystem before pivoting into it. I can get you more details if n

Whatever it is, it apparently isn't working any more. Perhaps somebody could post /var/log/casper.log? Incidentally, casper has built-in code to load /preseed.cfg from the initramfs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. ht

Although I cannot confirm that it is or isn't the case, jenkins is one of the user names "reserved" to be used by the jenkins package (it creates a system user call jekins in it's post-install). Thus preseeding user-name jenkins is dangerous, if jenkins package is later installed or is going to be

So, um, silly question but where are you actually applying this preseed file? I don't see anything relevant on the kernel command line; the closest is ks=http://10.128.92.2/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/dx-autopilot- intel, but since Kickstart is only supported by d-i-based images that isn't going to work
