ubiquity issue with unattended installation

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Lucid & preseed installation (ubiquity) question ....

Hi folks,

I am creating live/installable Lucid ISO image. I provided the installation with pre-seed file to make automatic installation.

I see 2 things and the process stops:

1) In the "Installing System" pop-up window with "Verifying Installation Configuration" text ...==> the percentage went up to 380% ....

2) The automatic installation stops at "Install" pop-up window. ... "Ready To Install" ... with "Your new operating system information will now be installed with the following settings" ... and the information populated properly with information provided in the pre-seed file.

The "Install" pop-up window is at : Step 1 of 7 and only buttons "Quit" and "Advanced ..." are enabled ....===> can not continue the installation process (even manually ) ...

Is this a ubiquity bug or something wrong with my pre-seed file ?

Any help/suggestion is greatly appreciated ...

Thanks in advance ...

Dang

This is the issue with ubiquity-frontend-gtk ... I replaced the ubiquity-frontend-kde, and it worked. But the
late_command string does not work.

Thanks

Did you ever figure out how to get late_command working?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
