Bug Description
Installer version: 20101020ubuntu500
Kernel: 4.10.0-14
Description/
Trying to perform an IPv6-based installation using a preseed file that should be retrieved from an IPv6 URL results in this installer error:
"The file needed for preconfiguration could not be retrieved from
http://
The installation will proceed in non-automated mode."
The parameter in the parmfile looks like this:
preseed/url=http://[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I also tried escaping the square brackets, but that also doesn't work
In syslog you see the following error:
Apr 4 10:22:22 main-menu[465]: (process:481): expr: warning: '^.*\[[
Apr 4 10:22:22 main-menu[465]: (process:481): of a basic regular expression is not portable; it is ignored
Apr 4 10:22:22 main-menu[465]: (process:481): http://
We had found a similar bug in Ubuntu 16.04 (https:/
