Hi All... My /config/includes.installer/preseed.cfg file seems to be working, except $USER is not being added to groups specified in the Account Setup portion for the installed image. So, after installing with the user MyName, if I run "groups $USER", it only returns "MyName: MyName sudo users" instead of audio video etc. The live image is fine. The prseed file is copied below. Any pointers to what is wrong would be highly appreciated.
Thanks. ********************************************* ### Language & Country d-i debian-installer/language string en d-i debian-installer/country string US d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8 # Keyboard selection. d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us ### Network configuration #netcfg will choose an interface that has link if possible.
