      Hello there,
      I’m working to make a full autoinstall Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 with FOG.

      I follow this guide to make my Ubuntu iso with user-data file : https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/ubuntu-22-04-server-autoinstall-iso/.

      But now i have no idea what settings i should put in my iPXE Menu on FOG. (i’m using http protocol to transfert from FOG server to laptop)

      Can you help me ?

      Thanks!

          @Skreadz I don’t understand what you’re requesting exactly?

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              @Tom-Elliott I want to make an autoinstall for Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 with fog.
              According to my research, with version 22.04 it is no longer possible to use “d-i” preseeds.
              And I can’t find any other solution.

                There will likely need adjustment to make it ipxe compatible, but this seems like it’s still possible.

                    What you need is this to get it ‘work’

                    :jammy-desktop
                    set base-url http://server.example.com/iso/ubuntu/22.04
                    kernel ${base-url}/vmlinuz
                    initrd ${base-url}/initrd
                    imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd cloud-config-url=/dev/null ip=dhcp root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=4800000 url=${base-url}/ubuntu-22.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=${base-url}/
                    boot || goto failed

                    1. Mount the ‘desktop’/‘server’ to your local disk
                    2. Extract the vmlinux and initrd, copy them to the baseurl location
                    3. The root and ramdisk_size is necessary because the ISO is to large.

                    The code above works fine with ubuntu 22 server but for the desktop I am facing a issue.
                    The desktop will start direct to the GUI interface from where you can run the installer.
                    For the server it will run directly to the installer and so the ckoud-init file works fine.

                      Yeah same here, it seems the user-data file didn’t count

                        I think cloud-init method didn’t work with Ubuntu 22.04 desktop.
                        Maybe we can still use d-i presseed?

                          @kroepoek85 it’s work with ubuntu live server 22.04 and then in the user-data file you write packages: ubuntu-desktop.
                          It work well, i can autoinstall ubuntu desktop now with fog ipxe menu.
