Foreman Ubuntu Mirror Incorrect

Support
1

Problem:
When creating a host that will be provisioned with Ubuntu Bionic Beaver, an error pops up stating that the Ubuntu mirror does not exist and a TFTP file cannot be created. The exact error message: "Unable to render PXELinux template ‘Kickstart default PXELinux’: bad URl(is not URLl?) http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic beaver/main/installer-x86_64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/x86_64

I believe the correct URL should read: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/

How do you change it?

Expected outcome:
Host is created without errors

Foreman and Proxy versions: 1.20

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
No Plugins

Other relevant data:
[e.g. logs from Foreman and/or the Proxy, modified templates, commands issued, etc]
(for logs, surround with three back-ticks to get proper formatting, e.g.)

You want to use the Preseed default PXELinux template not the kickstart

Thank you for your willingness to help!

I tried the template you suggested and I now receive the error message:
"Unable to render PXELinux template ‘Preseed default PXELinux’: bad URl(is not URLl?) http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic beaver/main/installer-x86_64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/x86_64

When I looked at Ubuntu’s mirror, this path does not exist.

What do you have for the installation media?
My url for Ubuntu Mirror is set to: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and is working fine.

In the Operating System Definition do you have for the release ‘bionic beaver’ or just ‘bionic’?

I have “bionic beaver” for the release name. Does that need to be just “bionic”?
