sed: -e expression #1, char 2: unterminated address regex

Using Ubuntu 22.04.1 Server Installer. Error: sed: -e expression #1, char 2: unterminated address regex

How we fixed it: ubuntu_original="$(grep -v 'security|cdrom' /etc/apt/sources.list | awk 'NF>=2{ print $2 }' | sort -u)"

Thank you for the feedback. I don't get that error with the script. When I try the command you've written, it doesn't give the answer it should: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ The code in the script does: ubuntu_original="$(grep -v 'security|cdrom' /etc/apt/sources.list | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -u)"

What was the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list before running the script? Could you share the installation log?

I've just checked the content of the /etc/apt/sources.list file in the Ubuntu 22.04 live iso and it is:

deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish - Release amd64 (20220419)]/ jammy main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-security main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-updates main restricted

Your log paste above (root@ubuntu-server) suggests you aren't in an ubuntu live desktop environment. The script needs to be run from an ubuntu live desktop environment. Which environment are you running the script from? What do you get when you run the following. dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop cat /proc/cmdline

[Sithuk]

I've updated the script with a check for the installation environment. Could you try the updated script and let me know what happens?

[Sithuk]

It looks like you are using the ubuntu server iso instead of the ubuntu desktop iso. I don't think zfsutils is present in the server iso so unless you installed it separately then the initial install shouldn't have worked?

[10101010101010001]

You are right I was using the ubuntu server 22.04.1 iso. It's possible to use 22.04.1 to perform the install. My apologize for my lack of attention to detail and thanks for your help. Cheers

I've updated the script with a check for the installation environment. Could you try the updated script and let me know what happens?

dpkg-query: no packages found matching ubuntu-desktop

[Sithuk]

That's good news, thank you for letting me know. I didn't think the server iso came with the zfs software installed. I'll have another look at the latest version.

"dpkg-query: no packages found matching ubuntu-desktop" So the check worked on the server iso?

[Sithuk]

I just tested an install with the ubuntu server 22.04 iso. You're right that once the issue with the apt sources.list is resolved then the script runs fine on it.

I'm going to leave in the requirement to use the ubuntu desktop live iso as an install envionment though. It makes testing significantly easier to restrict the install environments.
