  Ubuntu 1910 Desktop Under development 17-Jan-2020 First we’ll create the required directories: mkdir -p /images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 Now we’ll mount the Ubuntu 19.10 installer over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above. mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/ubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso /mnt/loop cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 umount /mnt/loop Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory. We’ll need to download the netboot version from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz This version of bzlinuz.efi and initrd.lz support booting over an NFS share instead of the local DVD Drive. wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz tar -zxf netboot.tar.gz cp ./netboot/vmlinuz.efi /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 cp ./netboot/initrd.lz /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10 The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry Set the following fields Menu Item: os.Ubuntu.Desktop.19.10 Description: Ubuntu Desktop 19.10 Parameters: kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10/vmlinuz.efi initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10/initrd.lz imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash ip=dhcp rw boot || goto MENU Menu Show with: All Hosts That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Ubuntu Desktop 19.10 from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

  @Corrco said in Image capture size mismatch: Drives are all 120GB, and halfway through there is one host that is imaging 119GB - the rest are all 20GB. This doesn’t make sense to me. Can you please explain what you mean by these numbers? Maybe post pictures and screenshots of the sizes!

  I’ve removed Arch Linux from the automated tests due to complications within Terraform. These issues were sort of the final straw in my Arch testing efforts. The Arch community doesn’t supply an official AWS AMI. I had been relying on a privately built AMI that isn’t 1:1 with a manual Arch installation. For perhaps the last half year, my Arch tests were failing but the installer worked if you tested it against a manually setup Arch installation. This can only be due to differences between the AMI I was using and a manual installation. The Arch community is vehement about only providing help if you follow their installation instructions on their wiki exactly. Because of this, when I asked for some help sorting out the issues, they were not willing to help. Until someone with some Arch prowess can put some time into helping with this, Arch Linux will not be included in the automated tests.
