Preseed and codeset error

[Electric]

I've setup succesfull a preseed file but i'm still having one issue.
As far as I can find back it has to do with the "console-setup/codeset" directive.

I've setup in the preseed file the following:

console-setup console-setup/codeset select . Combined - Latin; Slavic Cyrillic; Hebrew; basic Arabic
console-setup console-setup/detected note

But still it stops with that question.

I have this with 8.04.2 , 8.10 and 9.04

Sorry for the late reply to this bug report.

Firstly, you'll save yourself a lot of effort with preseeding in general if you add 'priority=critical' to your boot parameters. This question is only asked at priority high, along with a number of others that are useful in interactive use but that most people doing preseeding don't want to be bothered with.

Secondly, the correct way to preseed this question is as follows:

  d-i console-setup/codesetcode string Uni1

Judging from the incorrect owner field at the start of the preseeding lines you quote, it sounds as though you're trying to use 'debconf-get-selections --installer' to prime your preseed file. Don't do that, tempting though it may be. Instead, follow the directions in the preseeding appendix to the installation guide - there may still be one or two things that aren't obvious, but on the whole you'll make life a lot easier for yourself.

I've made the adjustments and it works perfectly now.

Thank you very much.
