I want to automate the installation of ubuntu-desktop v24.04 hybrid.iso using autoinstall.yaml. I found that the steps for this are described here: https://danielpersson.dev/2023/08/07/looki-looki-no-hands-automatic-install-of-ubuntu-server/

After making the necessary changes and repacking the ISO, I ran into a problem:

  • when flashing the image with balenaEtcher, it shows an error that the partition table is missing;
  • if I still write the new image to a USB stick, it doesn’t contain an MBR/GPT partition table and therefore won’t boot on a PC.

My question is: what am I doing wrong? Do I need to manually specify the partition table when repacking the ISO, or is the cause something else?

Thank you in advance)

Ah, yes, gatekeeping in Linux Land.

Because you are clearly psychic and know everyone's use-case/requirements.
