The issue still exist in Ubuntu 14.04 (currently in development), as a side effect if a user decides to use:
mirror/http/proxy=http://domain.tld:3142 in the APPEND line in a pxe environment, eg. APPEND priority=critical locale=en_US interface=auto mirror/http/proxy=http://domain.tld:3142 url=http://another- domain.tld/ubuntu.preseed initrd=ubuntu/1404/i386/initrd.gz The installer will fail to request the remote preseed file (as it'll try to get it through the mirror url). A work around if you still want to define the mirror in the append line (and not in the remote preseed file) is to configure it at preseed/run or at preseed/early_command. http://serverfault.com/questions/528582/debian-ubuntu-set-preseed- mirror-variable-via-early-run-command Configuring the mirror at the APPEND line is useful when you want to use a master preseed file from every machine but want to have control when to use cache. --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568704 Title: debian-installer preseed "d-i mirror/http/proxy" sets env http_proxy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/568704/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
