Preseed Ubiquity success command executed incompletely
I'm currently in the process of building an automated installation of Ubuntu 16.04 desktop. As custom command in my preseed file I'm using this
# Custom Commands
ubiquity ubiquity/success_command
string mkdir /target/install/;
cp -R /cdrom/scripts/* /target/install/;
chroot /target chmod +x /install/postinstall.sh;
chroot /target bash /install/postinstall.sh;
and postinstall.sh has this content
# Install Chrome
cd /install
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
# Delete Chrome install
rm google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
But Chrome doesn't get installed. The script itself is successfully copied to /install and also marked as executable
Hopefully somebody has an idea where my error is located.

It will not start automatically, you should put it in the rc.local in order to start after the first login in the background.
If you want to have it as part of the installtion process then you need to add the dep file to cdrom/pool/extras.
A quick solution will be:
presseed:
ubiquity ubiquity/success_command string
cp -a /cdrom/preseed/install.sh /target/root/install.sh;
sed -i 's_exit 0_sh /root/install.sh_' /target/etc/rc.local
And in your script just remove it from rc.local when it is done:
Script:
sed -i 's_sh /root/install.sh_exit 0_' /etc/rc.local
I hope it make sense :)

Maybe :
chroot /target bash /install/postinstall.sh;
instead :
chroot /target bash -c "/install/postinstall.sh";
Following good for me(xubuntu 18.04) :
bash -c "/cdrom/tools/run.sh";
I use isocreator (cubic), if i want to add other deb files for my installer and I use preseed to install the system automatically.
