ProfMac_like all bugs, it is obvious, although it evaded me for almost 3 months.  See if you can spot it, near line 153 of the preseed file01:51
CarlFKhttps://github.com/a-mcintosh/Trusty-preseed/blob/master/preseed/preseed.iounote-1#L153 #  ----------------------------------------------------------------02:23
CarlFKI see "his" a few lines up.  not sure that matters ?02:24
ProfMac_Yes, "his" seems to have stopped the parsing.  With that fixed, only the partman/early_command seems to execute.  the partman/late_command, and the preseed/{early,late}_commands don't seem to do anything.04:43
CarlFKd-i partman/early_command string \                       logger -i "Aubrey 3" \  in-target touch /root/touched-during-install-3; \05:21
CarlFKI've never used partman/early_command but I bet there isn't a /target yet05:22
CarlFKI would replace your 'logger' stuff with 'wget foo' and confirm the installer errors (wget should 404 or something)05:23
CarlFKI normally do early/late wget.. and I assure you it lets you know when it fails05:23
ProfMac_There is no /target during the partman/early_command phase.05:24
ProfMac_The reason that I used "logger" is because it seems to be a standard way to put footprints into /var/log/syslog.05:39
CarlFKpastebin the installer's syslog05:51
CarlFKdo you know how to bring up the installer's web server that serves up the logs ?  (I don't just saw mention of it a few days ago)05:52
ProfMaclooks like I lost freenode connection last night about midnight.  The last item I received is:  [00:52] <CarlFK> do you know how to bring up the installer's web server that serves up the logs ?  (I don't just saw mention of it a few days ago)15:07
ProfMacI have placed the syslog at https://github.com/a-mcintosh/Trusty-preseed/blob/master/syslog15:08
CarlFKrerun with DEBCONF_DEBUG=515:13
CarlFKthe only _command is Jun 25 01:17:06 ubuntu preseed: running preseed command partman/early_command: logger -i "Aubrey 3"15:14
ProfMacI agree, that is the only command in the log.  For whatever reason, the others are not executed.  This was run with DEBCONF_DEBUG=debug, which should be the same.15:16
ProfMacAt this point, I have this:  1)  A script that makes a new VirtualBox,  2)  A preseed file, 3) A well-known installation .iso.  This should be enough for anyone to git pull my scripts, and pull the Trusty .iso, and duplicate and/or fail to duplicate the behavior.15:18
ProfMacI'm headed for breakfast.  At this point, I am thinking about declaring a bug, either in the composition of the .iso, or in the installer.15:19
CarlFKrerun with DEBCONF_DEBUG=5  ;)15:19
ProfMacI've started the rerun.  I'm headed for breakfast.15:26

ProfMacI have pushed the matching syslog & preseed.iounote-1 using "DEBCONF_DEBUG=5"17:30
ProfMacfor newcomers, I have failed to invoke d-i preseed/early_command & di preseed/late_command.  Scripts to create the Virtualbox, the preseed script, and the syslog can be found starting at https://github.com/a-mcintosh/Trusty-preseed/blob/master/syslog17:42
CarlFKProfMac: here is one of my syslogs http://paste.ubuntu.com/24950190/18:20
CarlFKit has tons of DEBUG lines.  yours has none.  I find that odd.18:20
CarlFKit also has Jun 21 03:51:33 preseed: running preseed command preseed/early_command: cd /tmp && wget http://$url/ec/early_command.sh ...18:22
ProfMacI notice you are using 16.4 whereas I am using 14.418:26
CarlFKwhy are you using 14?18:27
ProfMacThis is a Bitcoin related project.  They are using a "deterministic build" that is currently set in 14.04.  Also, I am conservative, and like to move forward cautiously.18:28
CarlFKas long as I can remember (over 6 years) I have had DEBUG in my logs18:29
CarlFKim more of a user here, I don't know the code base, so don't expect much from me in that regard.  that said..18:31
CarlFKI would use my scripts as is to make sure they really work, then swap my preseed file for yours and see what happens18:32
CarlFKhttps://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/usbstick/scripts/mk_usb_installer.sh18:32
CarlFKthat should dl and create a bootable usb stick18:32
CarlFKhttps://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/blob/usbstick/scripts/test_thumb.sh18:32
CarlFKthat will test it18:33
ProfMacEverything I am doing is traceable.  I have the ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso image, and those scripts that are on github.  I have the latest Virtualbox environment from their web site.  I am downloading the 16.04.2 iso at the moment.  I'll see what my preseed does there.18:33
ProfMacmy .iso rebuild using 16.04.2 complains about the boot file.  I am midway through running your script.  Ima gonna take a break.19:05
