Unattended install failing with Ubutnu 22.04 guest

Post by phil-c »

I've been using the unattended install feature of VirtualBox to be able to consistently build VMs. This worked fine with Ubuntu 20.04, but it isn't with 22.04 - the latest LTS.

Ubuntu 20.04 ISO contain an isolinux directory... Ubuntu 22.04 ISO don't contain it. Consequently:

VBoxManage.exe: info: Starting unattended installation of Ubuntu_64 in machine 'test-ub2204' (457bdfb4-1ecc-4777-aea9-9f20577561cf).
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to open '/isolinux/isolinux.cfg' on the ISO 'C:\users\PhilipCole\Downloads\xubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso' (VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80bb0004), component UnattendedWrap, interface IUnattended, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "ConstructMedia()" at line 1859 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp


Apologies if this is a known issue, and/or if there is something I'm doing wrong.
