I've been trying to automate my installation of 19.04 using pre-seeding files. I'm booting directly from installation media copied to a USB stick.
So far, nothing I've tried has worked. Subiquity loads as normal and presents the user interface to manually install.
This is my grub.cfg
if loadfont /boot/grub/font.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode=auto
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod gfxterm
terminal_output gfxterm
fi
set menu_color_normal=white/black
set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray
set timeout=1
menuentry "Install Ubuntu Server" {
set gfxpayload=keep
linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/magicmirror.seed boot=casper quiet splash ---
initrd /casper/initrd
}
My pre-seeding file is from here: https://github.com/core-process/linux-unattended-installation/blob/master/ubuntu/18.04/custom/preseed.cfg
I'm not expecting it to work unchanged, but I was expecting it to error or give some indication that the pre-seeding file had been loaded.
I've also tried loading a Kickstarter but I got the same result.
Am I loading the pre-seeding file wrong, or has automated installation changed in 19.04?
