You have been subscribed to a public bug by Robie Basak (racb): I use packer (https://www.packer.io) to automate the creation of Ubuntu virtual machine images. It's "boot_command" allows you to pass key presses to the installer. For 15.04, I use something like this:
----- "boot_command": [ "<esc><esc><enter><wait>", "/install/vmlinuz auto url=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/ubuntu-15-04.cfg ", "debian-installer=en_US locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us ", "hostname={{ .Name }} ", "keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP ", "keyboard-configuration/layout=USA ", "keyboard-configuration/variant=USA ", "initrd=/install/initrd.gz -- <enter>" ], ---- Pressing escape twice and then enter brings you to the text mode interface and then it boots the installer with a preseed file served over HTTP: /install/vmlinuz auto url=http://10.0.2.2:8081/ubuntu-15-04.cfg debian-installer=en_US locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us hostname=myhostname keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP keyboard- configuration/layout=USA keyboard-configuration/variant=USA initrd=/install/initrd.gz -- This successfully boots and installs on 15.04. On 15.10 it displays: ---- Loading bootlogo... Initializing gfx code... ---- And then returns to the to the language selection screen. Manually booting the iso and entering the text mode interface, the same thing happens. I've tried with both the 10/13 daily and Beta-2 images. I see others are running into this as well https://github.com/boxcutter/ubuntu/issues/22 ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Tags: regression-release wily -- Unable to install from text mode interface https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505839 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
