Someone indicated that they need more details to reproduce this, so here it goes:
Download the netboot image from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists /trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso and make a bootable usb stick from it using universal usb installer from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ (Windows) or what ever method your system supports (can be reproduced in a VM, leaving this initial install as an exercise to the user). I use PXE to start the installation. For boot parameters, use the following (syslinux.cfg): append initrd=/live/trusty/initrd.gz nomce ks=http://myserver.com/preseed/trusty-ks.cfg locale=en_US console-setup/ask_detect=false console-setup/layoutcode=us vga=normal DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer -- debconf/priority=critical (see trusty-ks.cfg attached). During install, the system will prompt asking to confirm NOT to install grub (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer- netboot-images/+bug/1309349). After rebooting, the system will eventually start oem-config, prompting for language, locale, keyboard setup, username, and hostname (defaults to kickseed if the above install was done). It will NOT prompt for user password. Instead, it generates a new user with the SAME PASSWORD as the preseed config. ** Attachment added: "trusty-ks.cfg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oem-config/+bug/1434273/+attachment/4646836/+files/trusty-ks.cfg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434273 Title: oem-config fails to prompt for password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oem-config/+bug/1434273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
