bw flag

Problem: Autoinstall stop on the phase "Updates and other software" as attached screenshot shows with ubuntu-22.10-desktop-amd64.iso. click here (stop on the "# Step 3 install Mode" of preseed/ubuntu.seed file) After click "Continue" button, the autoinstall will continue to format the disk and finish the unattended installtion

Details: I modify the files /preseed/ubuntu.seed and /boot/grub/grub.cfg inside ubuntu-22.10-desktop-amd64.iso for the unattended install.

With the modified ISO, the autoinstall begins but stop on the phase "Updates and other software" as attached screenshot shows. After click "Continue" button, the autoinstall can go on and finish the unattended installation.

Content of /preseed/ubuntu.seed:

#step 1 : Localization
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US

Note: with the same file /preseed/ubuntu.seed, autoinstall can works well with ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso. But it stop on "Step 3" with ubuntu-22.10-desktop-amd64.iso/ubuntu-20.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso

Not sure it's the issue about /preseed/ubuntu.seed or ubiquity installer. Would someone help me with it ? Thanks

Your last line in "step 3" looks like it should have "ubiquity " added at the start?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
