So the solution would be for people to note the command on paper then to boot live (if their live version is working), run the command, note the result, boot back and go back to the registration page to put the result? I think this is way too demanding. 2017-09-30 10:56 GMT-04:00 Ralf Mardorf <silver.bullet@zoho.com>:

Hello Robot ;)
it doesn't, it is asking for "Your answer" to "What is the output of "date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?"
I compared two installs, an Arch Linux and an Ubuntu install, since you could run Ubuntu even from a live media.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep PRETTY /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux" [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g' cbcc[snip]681f [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ sudo systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/moonstudio [sudo] password for rocketmouse: [root@moonstudio ~]# grep PRETTY /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS" [root@moonstudio ~]# date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g' cbcc[snip]681f [root@moonstudio ~]# logout [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$
The answer is the same, even if you would use an Ubuntu live DVD.
