Dear Sir or Madame: I have been working on creating a completely unattended install of Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.1 LTS . This has been an arduous process and I have completed it, though not ideally.
My questions are: *Packages* According to this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation, ubiquity ignores pkgsel, specfically d-i pkgsel/include string <list of packages to install>, so what is the command in ubiquity that I should use to install extra packages? Or is there another way to install extra packages? Since the preseed/early_command seems to be ignored and the only comparable command I have found is "ubiquity ubiquity/success_command string <commands>" and I have been unable to use apt-install, apt-get install, apt install, /usr/bin/apt-get install, in-target apt install, or any of those derivatives I am unsure how to get the extra needed packages. Is there a list of ubiquity commands that are supported and work in Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.1 LTS? I have searched but have been unable to find a comprehensive list of all the ubiquity commands. *Command (Early/Late)* Is there a way to do an early command with ubiquity? If I needed to write to /etc/resolv.conf so the installer can get the correct nameservers, how would I accomplish that? *Ubiquity Success Command* Does ubiquity success_command support "in-target" and "apt-install" prefixes in the command? Are there other prefixes or special commands that I can utilize? Any detailed information, documentation, or source code concerning ubiquity would be great. I have used the following documentation so far: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/annotate/head:/doc/README https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installer/Development https://blog.giuseppeurso.net/ubuntu-14-04-preseedlate_command-dont-work-this-is-why/ Thank you for any help. Sincerely, Brandon Authier
