I am installing ubuntu20.04

nickkostov commented 4 years ago

Also will there be a feature to use the cloud-init instead of preseed

antonym commented 4 years ago

I'm not sure what the bug is... if it's loading the preseed and doing actions it's working, you may need to make some fixes to the preseed.

nickkostov commented 4 years ago

So, after installing the OS, using the preseed. There are some missing functions. Like for example the gnome terminal is not working at all.

antonym commented 4 years ago

You may need to double check the packages being installed. If you do a manual install do you have the same behavior? Is terminator possibly being installed and preferred as the default over gnome terminal?

nickkostov commented 4 years ago

Well, I was not going to bring it here if I did not try out to add gnome-terminal in there. "d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server build-essential ubuntu-desktop vim terminator htop" It was without "terminator" when I saw that there is a trouble with it. I thought its going to be best if I add it in order to make sure there is a console which I could use in order to run the start up scripts on the hosts.
