Skipping install prompts with preseed file?

I don't know if you came across this in your research, but it looks like this post may be helpful...

https://askubuntu.com/questions/806820/how-do-i-create-a-completely-unattended-install-of-ubuntu-desktop-16-04-1-lts

If you try it out, please share your experience (you can post it right here in this question).

Also, if there are some files that must be edited to allow an unattended install, but Cubic doesn't currently support editing those files, please list the files-- may be Cubic can be enhanced to allow editing those files.

Hi Cubic-wizard,

Thanks for the response. I tried for a couple days using the steps from that post mostly editing the txt.cfg and preseed file but could not get it to work. Each time I loaded up the image on the test machine I was still greeted with the install prompts.

Luckily another friend helped me with the issue and suggested editing the grub file itself and linking that to the the seed file. making this changes from within Cubic was possible and the automatic install finally worked!

Grub file:
if loadfont /boot/grub/font.pf2 ; then
 set gfxmode=auto
 insmod efi_gop
 insmod efi_uga
 insmod gfxterm
 terminal_output gfxterm
fi

set menu_color_normal=white/black
set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray

menuentry "Install Test Ubuntu" {
    set gfxpayload=keep
    linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ks.seed auto=true priority=critical keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us boot=casper automatic-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash noprompt noshell ---
    initrd /casper/initrd
}

Preseed file:

Excellent!
I'm glad you got it to work, and thanks for posting your solution as well!

it's not excellent. the explanation is not clear. He missed to explain some crucial informations :

1) where should be saved the preseed file
2) how should be called the preseed file ? preseed.cfg or preseed.txt ?

(I'm using debian 11)
