The unattended installation of the LWP does not work with the new hardware being supplied by CentralPoint. As a temporary workaround here are instructions for doing the installation "attended":
- Download de Ubuntu Desktop version 20.04 iso file
- Create a bootable USB stick on Windows
- Boot from the usb stick and do the standard Ubuntu Desktop installation.
During the installation make sure the root partition (/ = root) is at least 120GB and when asked for "Your computer's name:" use a unique identifier... don't use the same computer name if you're installing several PC's.
When the installation is done and Ubuntu starts for the first time, do not login right away, but do the following:
CTRL+ALT+F2
Login with the account you've created during the installation:
sudo -i sed -i.bak 's/home/admin/' /etc/passwd mv /home /admin exit exit #Yes, again!
Login again with the account you've created during the installation:
sudo -i apt install curl curl -s http://lwp130.lwp.rug.nl/menudo/heiko/puppet | /bin/bash #(password: iamsure) Choose "lightdm" Choose "Internet Site" Leave empty, just hit Enter
Now wait for the configuration to finish, this will take 30-45 minutes.
