[01:46] <rostam> PLEASE HELP: I need your help please. I have created automated ubuntu installed via dvd.  For that I have created preseed file and kickstart file. Now  I want to do the automated ubuntu install via usb stick.   All the instructions so far I have found out seems usb installer which I think is different than automating installations. PLEASE HELP

[10:33] <xnox> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1242417 seems like a problem with kubuntu customizing the name in grub?

[17:50] <rostam> cjwatson,  xnox HI I have created an iso image which automated ubuntu installer via dvd, my assumption is this iso should be isohybrid so I can cp to usb, and use usb to auto install the image, but it failed. any help please.
[20:16] <cjwatson> rostam: You'll have more chance of getting help with your failure if you provide details on exactly how it failed.
[20:18] <rostam> cjwatson,  After power up it can not boot to usb. It seems it is not recognizing  the image. What I did was, I copied the iso image (which worked via dvd) to usb:  cp myimage.iso /dev/sdc  where /dev/sdc was usb device.
[20:18] <rostam> Then I configured bios to boot from the usb, it complains about no boot media.
[20:21] <cjwatson> You probably want to use dd rather than cp - I would expect cp to just replace the block device node, which isn't what you want.
[20:21] <cjwatson> (dd if=myimage.iso of=/dev/sdc block=1048576    or similar)
[20:22] <rostam> actually I did use dd first then after gooling I used cp. But I will follow your instruction now to see how it works. thx
[20:23] <cjwatson> I really can't help much now, though, if that fails.  It's after 9pm here.
[20:23] <rostam> thanks
