[15:30] <ProfMac_> What release of Ubuntu (not Debian) does late_command work with?  I there an example git anywhere that shows this working?  I have a pretty straightforward git that makes a VirtualBox, then does a preseeded install, and early_command does work but late_command does not.

[16:05] <CarlFK> ProfMac_: late_command has worked with every ubuntu and debian I have ever tried, going back a least 6 years
[16:05] <CarlFK> here is my current one

[16:06] <CarlFK> d-i preseed/late_command string cd /target/tmp && unset http_proxy; wget http://$url/late_command.sh && chmod u+x late_command.sh && ANSIBLE_UNDER_DI=1 in-target /tmp/late_command.sh $url $(debconf-get mirror/suite) $(debconf-get passwd/username)
[16:32] <CarlFK> ProfMac_: how do you know it doesn't work?
[17:04] <ProfMac> Everything that I see when I try this is Debian oriented.  I am only going to run this in a VirtualBox, and for some reason I have lost access to the USB stick in virtual-box.  I suppose the next step is to build the .iso image and then scp it back to my host machine, and try to install it then, but I am also trying some other options in parallel.
[17:04] <ProfMac> Also, my git is very self contained, and clearly demonstrates a failure.  It should be an ideal place to identify a problem in my .seed file, or to file a bug report.
[17:05] <ProfMac> I just had some success with > ubiquity ubituqity/success_command string touch /target/etc/skel/I_am_preseeded
[17:07] <CarlFK> ProfMac_: how do you know it doesn't work?
[17:07] <CarlFK> it = d-i preseed/late_command ...
[17:09] <CarlFK> you may want to do something like in-target touch /test.txt
[17:09] <CarlFK> im off for lunch - see ya
