Description

Tested with Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04.
Screenshot from the IPMI: http://img.nux.ro/XN7-Selection_037.png

Test says:
'Execution of presseded command "wget -Y off $URL -O /target/tmp/finish.sh && in-target chmod +x /tmp/finish.sh && in-target /tmp/finish.sh" failed with exit code 8.'

Server side all I see that is meaningful is:
'Unable to find finish template for $server running [Ubuntu 14.04]'

You can press "Continue" and the installation will finish, but Foreman will not be aware of it, so it will retry to install again and again.

Do you have the "preseed finish" template associated with the Ubuntu 14.04 OS in Foreman?

I did not at the beginning, then I realised it and hoped it's that, but I get the exact same error after associating the template.
Does it work for any of you guys?

yes, working fine here and also for a lot of other people... Did you also select it as finish script in the Templates tab of the Ubuntu 14.04 OS?

That's it. Although the "finish" script was associated, it was not selected in the Templates ... http://img.nux.ro/9qV-Selection_038.png

Confusingly, the CentOS OSes I have do not require a "finish" script to successfully complete a deployment.

Thanks!
