Public bug reported: I want to kickstart an installation behind a proxy, but its not working. Though wget, seems to accept the proxy configuration, choose-mirror does not succeed.
Following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KickstartCompatibility#Using_a_proxy_.2F_cache_during_the_Kickstart, my pxe-configuration is (note that i need to authenticate against the proxy which is not described in the above link): append ks=http://172.16.0.2/ub14_04-install/ks/ks.cfg vga=normal initrd=ubuntu14_04/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=16432 root=/dev/rd/0 http_proxy=http://ossproxy:password@172.16.0.5:8080 rw ks.cfg is: ... url --url http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ... The installation stops with an error, syslog is saying: ... choose-mirror: DEBUG: command: wget --no-verbose http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release -O - | ... ... choose-mirror: WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (trusty) But: switching to shell via <strg> + <alt> + <f2> and issuing the wget command: wget --no-verbose http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release -O - everything works fine, hence proxy is properly set. The problem seems to be that choose-mirror can't handle a Proxy with authentication. Also, doing an installation without proxy works fine. But, as I need 50+ computers behind the proxy, this is not an option. So, am I missing something? What can I do? Modify initrd?
