Ubuntu server subiquity autoinstall

[Tom H-4]

I've deleted the emails of "Does kickstart work on 20.04 LTS", so I'm
breaking the thread. Sorry.

There's an example of patching an ISO on [1] that seems to imply that
the autoinstall file has to be called "user-data".

It makes sense given that this is the name that's used in the seed.iso method.

"user-data" must override the equivalent data in
"/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg" and "/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d".

[ The kernel cmdline is sed-ed in both "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" and
"/isolinux/txt.cfg" to include the "ds" and "s" values. ]

THanks Tom - but how would that "support" more than one menu option ?

Like :

Ubuntu Server minimal

Ubuntu Server GUI

etc...

I'm just asking out of curiosity: why? You're on Gmail. You have 17GB of space.

I haven't deleted an email since 1993 and I only ran out of that space
last year. It's enough for tens of millions of mails.

I only delete spam, nothing else.

Don't delete when you mean mark read. It leads to confusions like
this. Archive if you don't want to see it.

I made a file /cdrom/nocloud/user-data with my basic yaml data.

added the txt.cfg entry for nocloud - I see this menu item when I boot.

  append  initrd=/casper/initrd ds="nocloud;s=/cdrom/nocloud/" quiet splash biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 ---

Made no difference.

Thanks

Jerry

I have 19GB, but I prefer to delete.

This is not the first time I've had to tell someone this, and they
didn't listen, either.

But anyway: take it from someone who teaches IT skills for a living
and who has been using email since 1985.

You're doing it wrong. Learn to do it right and you will find it much
easier and more useful.
