2015-10-14 14:14:26 Andrew Starr-Bochicchio description 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 }} ", "keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP ", "keyboard-configuration/layout=USA ", "keyboard-configuration/variant=USA ", "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 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. I see others are running into this as well https://github.com/boxcutter/ubuntu/issues/22 I use packer (https://www.packer.io) to automate the creation of Ubuntu virtual machine images.
