You're very welcome. One of my goals with this was to have a starting point where the absolute minimum of changes from Ubuntu's defaults are used. This is to reduce the number of variables to a tiny set. From that point, any types of changes and special configurations can be added and tested one by one. But any further special configuration beyond what this script does right now is out of scope.
I have updated the scripts to the most recent LTS. I have also just tested the scripts using 22.10
, ubuntu-22.10-live-server-amd64.iso
, and it all works fine with that as well.
@porala Sorry, I haven't had a achance to look into how to skip forward past the menu that you're referring to. It doesn't stop at that point, one just needs to wait a bit longer. I don't need to skip past this for my use case, so I just don't have time to look into how to do that.
@porala you can try to edit boot/grub/grub.cfg , update the timeout parameter
For changing the grub menu, just do a complete replacement of it, you can delete menu points, and edit timeout parameters if needed.
Example untested:
import io
import pathlib
import pycdlib
ubuntu = pathlib.Path('ubuntu-22.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso')
new_iso = pathlib.Path('ubuntu-22.04.1-live-server-amd64-auto.iso')
iso = pycdlib.PyCdlib()
iso.open(ubuntu)
extracted = io.BytesIO()
iso.get_file_from_iso_fp(extracted, iso_path='/BOOT/GRUB/GRUB.CFG;1')
extracted.seek(0)
data = """YOUR GRUB CFG FILE HERE
"""
iso.rm_file(iso_path='/BOOT/GRUB/GRUB.CFG;1', rr_name='grub.cfg')
iso.add_fp(io.BytesIO(data), len(data), '/BOOT/GRUB/GRUB.CFG;1', rr_name='grub.cfg')
iso.write(new_iso)
iso.close()
Great work, any chance you can add in the md5 process to remove the verification issue from the edit of grub and to just plain remove the enforced check?
Clear out the md5sum.txt file to cancel install verification of files.
iso.rm_file(iso_path='/md5sum.txt;1', rr_name='md5sum.txt')
iso.add_fp(io.BytesIO("", len(""), '/md5sum.txt;1', rr_name='md5sum.txt')
You could edit the md5 sum of grub in that file if you felt like it for real verification..
Thanks, I personally don't require a verification check. I just happened to notice during the process it was failing validation from the change to the grub.cfg. Thanks for posting the additional content to disable the check and thanks for your work! Made my life easier that's for sure :)
Made some modifications to disable the verifications for future reference.

thank you , it works like a charm in Proxmox , I will test it with a physical machine later , thanks for the wonderful script !
