[20:54] <lloz> Anyone know if Ubiquity is supposed to work with preseed/include and friends? I can't find any examples of people using it online and the seed seems to be ignored when used to preseed a Xubuntu 14.04 install.
[21:00] <cyphermox> lloz: yes
[21:00] <cyphermox> there is a specific syntax to follow for some keys though
[21:01] <cyphermox> here's an annotated example: http://people.canonical.com/~mtrudel/preseed/full.cfg
[21:01] <lloz> Thank you, looking at it now
[21:03] <lloz> Hm, I don't see any preseed/include usage there
[21:08] <lloz> By preseed/include I mean including other preseed files from a first one as in the section "Chainloading preconfiguration files": https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs05.html.en
[21:08] <cyphermox> yes
[21:09] <cyphermox> hrm
[21:09] <cyphermox> I suppose it *should* work. did you try it with debian-installer at all?
[21:09] <lloz> Hm, I'll try to come up with a minimal non-working example. I'm using this as a part of a Packer/Vagrant/Virtualbox build-line...
[21:10] <cjwatson> I don't think we ever added preseed/include support to casper, which is where it would have to go.
[21:10] <lloz> The analagous config with Ubuntu 14.04 server iso (no casper, no ubiquity, only d-i) works perfectly
[21:10] <cjwatson> casper basically reimplements the read-and-apply bits of preseed.
[21:10] <lloz> Hm, yeah I looked in casper-set-selections a bit
[21:11] <lloz> Hm, well as long as there wasn't some documentation I was missing, I'll just flatten my preseeds for the ubiquity installs
[21:11] <cyphermox> cjwatson: you're too fast!
[21:12]  * cyphermox was still looking at preseed and retrieving casper :)
[21:12] <lloz> Thank you :-)
[21:12] <cyphermox> cjwatson: thanks!
[22:12] <lloz> I promised to provide a minimal(-ish) example: here it is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13496264/
[22:12] <lloz> It still uses packer, but just because I'm lazy and prefer for packer to setup the env, host the preseeds and put in the boot-line for me...
