I am testing the 2.4.0 from epel-testing using two netbooks, one as the cobbler server
running SL 6.3, the other is a test install machine. The distro is Ubuntu 12.04.1 server.
A while ago, I again used the /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample.seed to test out things,
and used cobbler system getks --name=nb1 to check out the rendered preseed file.
Immediately, I noticed that $SNIPPET('kickstart_done') is not rendered, despite
the fact that I have the kickstart defined in the profile, and the system report indicates
the following:
Kickstart : <<inherit>>
The entire kickstart_done snippet seems to be ignored. Is this a known issue, or is there
a hint for me to debug it?
On our production cobbler server (2.2.3), for RH alike systems, the rendering works fine.

Yup. I simplified the end of my copy of the sample.seed to to the following:
# This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
# still a usable /target directory. You can chroot to /target and use it
# directly, or use the apt-install and in-target commands to easily install
# packages and run commands in the target system.
# d-i preseed/late_command string [command]
$pxe_just_once
$kickstart
$SNIPPET('kickstart_done')
Then, a cobbler system getks --name=nb1 shows the following:
# This command is run just before the install finishes, but when there is
# still a usable /target directory. You can chroot to /target and use it
# directly, or use the apt-install and in-target commands to easily install
# packages and run commands in the target system.
# d-i preseed/late_command string [command]

/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/ubuntu-server.seed
So, I suspect that there is a bug?

I know what's going on now. A bit of critical reading always helps:
See this:
25 ## SAVE KICKSTART
26 #if $kickstart != ''
27 #if $breed == 'redhat'
28 #set saveks = "\nwget
\"http://%s/cblr/svc/op/ks/%s/%s\" -O /root/cobbler.ks" % (srv,
"system", system_name)
29 #else if $breed == 'vmware' and $os_version == 'esx4'
30 #set saveks = "\ncurl
\"http://%s/cblr/svc/op/ks/%s/%s\" -o /root/cobbler.ks" % (srv,
"system", system_name)
31 #else if $breed == 'vmware' and $os_version == 'esxi4'
32 #set saveks = "\nwget
\"http://%s/cblr/svc/op/ks/%s/%s\" -O /var/log/cobbler.ks" % (srv,
"system", system_name)
33 #else if $breed == 'debian'
34 #set saveks = "wget \"http://%s/cblr/svc/op/ks/%s/%s\"
-O /target/var/log/cobbler.seed;" % (srv, "system", system_name)
35 #end if
36 #end if
For Ubuntu, the breed is 'ubuntu', not 'debian'. This conditional check
is insufficient :-(
I will fix it.

Yeah, this may have been part of the fixes recently, so check master.
If not, send me a pull request.

Hi James,
You meant https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/blob/master/snippets/kickstart_done?
Nope. Same thing. Ditto for
https://github.com/jimi1283/cobbler/blob/master/snippets/kickstart_done
Let me do some more tests this evening, and then I will send in a pull request.
Regards,
