** Description changed: I use packer (https://www.packer.io) to automate the creation of Ubuntu virtual machine images. It's "boot_command" allows you to pass key presses to the installer. For 15.04, I use something like this: - ----- - "boot_command": [ - "<esc><esc><enter><wait>", - "/install/vmlinuz auto url=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/ubuntu-15-04.cfg ", - "debian-installer=en_US locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us ", - "hostname={{ .Name }} ", + "boot_command": [ + "<esc><esc><enter><wait>", + "/install/vmlinuz auto url=http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/ubuntu-15-04.cfg ", + "debian-installer=en_US locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us ", + "hostname={{ .Name }} ", - "keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP ", - "keyboard-configuration/layout=USA ", - "keyboard-configuration/variant=USA ", + "keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP ", + "keyboard-configuration/layout=USA ", + "keyboard-configuration/variant=USA ", - "initrd=/install/initrd.gz -- <enter>" - ], + "initrd=/install/initrd.gz -- <enter>" + ], ---- Pressing escape twice and then enter brings you to the text mode interface and then it boots the installer with a preseed file served over HTTP: - /install/vmlinuz auto url=http://10.0.2.2:8081/ubuntu-15-04.cfg + /install/vmlinuz auto url=http://10.0.2.2:8081/ubuntu-15-04.cfg debian-installer=en_US locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us hostname=myhostname keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP keyboard- configuration/layout=USA keyboard-configuration/variant=USA initrd=/install/initrd.gz -- This successfully boots and installs on 15.04. On 15.10 it displays: ---- Loading bootlogo... Initializing gfx code... ---- And then returns to the to the language selection screen. Manually booting the iso and entering the text mode interface, the same thing - happens. + happens. I've tried with both the 10/13 daily and Beta-2 images. I see others are running into this as well https://github.com/boxcutter/ubuntu/issues/22
