Preeseeding Ubuntu 18.04 language and keyboard settings does not work
3 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone,
first thing, I tried to use the search function, but it seems to not like me: Attachment 33323 I am trying to preseed my ubuntu-18.04.4-server-amd64 based custom ISO. However, after trying some combinations of language, locale and location I always still get asked for all these settings: Attachment 33324 I tried my own settings, which are right now Code:
#### Contents of the preconfiguration file (for stretch) https://gist.github.com/CalvinHartwe...7c583539a10859 Same behaviour. Here is also the console output of the installation when I choose the menu entry with my preseed file upt to the point where I get the "Select a language" screen: Attachment 33327 Therefore my questions: 1. Am I doing something wrong in general? 2. Is there somewhere a list with all possible values I can set for a given preseed option? e.g. how should I know what I can set for "d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap" and what not. I dont even know if "nodeadkeys" is correct but merely guessed it from the text based interactive installer. |

Thanks a lot. That stuff is a great help :)

Also, if you want to add a keyboard language using the GUI:
This is for Kubuntu: Start -> Applications -> Settings -> System Settings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard Cick on the 2nd tab, which is Layouts Check mark Configure Layouts us English(US) is probably already in the list. Click Add, select the language click OK. Click Apply at the bottom right. |

Quite some time passed but I had the opportunity to continue working on the preseeding. My current preseeding config for ubuntu-18.04.4-server-amd64.iso is
Code:
HOWEVER, I still cant get the locale stuff to work :D. Everything is automated now except: Language: Attachment 34323 Location: Attachment 34324 And Keyboard: Attachment 34322 Though I have specified that in the preseed.cfg. I will post the solution for this as soon as I figured it out. Also here is my current output of the installation log: Attachment 34325 |

Hey shruggy. Sorry, I just added the file content of my last attempt. I also tried with
Code:
# localization After I choose the menu entry with my preseed.cfg, the next screen I get is: Attachment 34337 With this on the console Attachment 34336 I cant see any obvious error there though. |
