Ubuntu 18.04 Doesn't Supported

[ArielLahiany]

Been testing the script for the pre-seeding of an Ubuntu 18.04 instance and it doesn't seem to work.
As some one has an inside about this?

Hey Ariel,

thanks for your feedback. Can you provide more information as to what exactly isn't working? Do you see an error message, or is the image not seeding at all? Can you share your preseed script/settings? Any and all information you can provide can help determine why it is not working for you as expected.

Regards,
Rinck

1. Cloning the repository to an Ubuntu machine.
2. Changing the permissions of the script (create-unattended-iso.sh).
3. Running with sudo.
4. Choosing 10 (Ubuntu 18.04.6)
5. Giving the timezone, username, and the required data.
6. Waiting for it to finish with the shown output.
7. Uploading the file to an ESXi server.
8. Trying to spin up a new VM with the custom ISO file.
9. Installation goes straight to the manuel installation menu.

Hi Ariel,

can you tell me if you're using a legacy bios or UEFI bios? If it is UEFI, could you try it with legacy to see if it makes a difference?

HI Netson

I also see the same issue. I tried the same thing with Ubuntu 18.04. The ISO is created, but when launching the iso, it doesn't seem to pull any of the preseed details. As soon as the new iso launches, it drops straight to language selection. (side note, since you asked @ArielLahiany .. I'm doing this as legacy mode)

Hi, I noticed that the timeout for the boot screen has been reduced to 1 second (purple screen) in which you have to press the spacebar to get to the traditional installation menu. I did notice that the Unattended install seems to be missing on EUFI bios, but for me is still present on the legacy bios.

I am working on an update to make this work better/easier, but due to time constraints this will take me a few weeks to complete. Once done, I will update this issue (and the readme).
