This really seems to be an issue with packer, and not the Ubuntu installer.
May I suggest a better alternative. Instead of using packer why not use the ubuntu cloud images available http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ or use virt-install and the netboot installers a.la. virt-install \ --connect qemu:///system \ --virt-type kvm \ --name demo \ --ram 2048 \ --disk size=10 \ --graphics vnc \ -l ftp://ftp.utexas.edu/pub/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/installer-amd64/ \ --os-variant ubuntutrusty The ubuntu text mode installer is a pretty pristine fork from debian, and as such I don't think we should be fixing this in Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505839 Title: Unable to install from text mode interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1505839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
