Public bug reported:
System Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Providing an /preseed/ubuntu.seed file with user configuration fails
with following symptoms:
This line
d-i passwd/user-fullname string SCOE Admin
puts the full name in the "Your name" box, but also the string "SCOE" is then
written to the "Pick a username" box.
The following has no effect at all:
d-i passwd/username string scoe-adm
Also putting the string inside " has no effect:
d-i passwd/username string "scoe-adm"
Still only "SCOE" is visible in the "Pick a username" box.
Same goes with the password:
passwd/user-password password 'mypass123'
(Note that this did not work in Ubuntu 14 as well)
------
Setting the timezone not work either.
Specifying the swap partition size in % of the installed memory fails as well.
In the below setting only 1GB of swap is assigned although the system has 16GB
installed (note that this worked in Ubuntu 14 LTS):
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
root :: \
256 256 256 fat32 \
$primary{ } \
method{ efi } format{ } . \
100% 100% 100% linux-swap \
$primary{ } \
method{ swap } format{ } . \
102400 102400 102400 ext4 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \
label{ root } \
mountpoint{ / } . \
409600 409600 -1 ext4 \
$primary{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \
