Bug Description

I am installing lunar-live-server-riscv64.img.gz on a SiFive HiFive Unmatched. I have both a serial console as well as a monitor and a USB keyboard.

I chose to manage the installation via the USB keyboard and the monitor. The installation log is not shown in the frame "Installation des Grundsystems".

I have observed this before: When doing the installation via the serial console the log is shown if using the monitor there is not output.

Please, check the routing of the output.

Subiquity version 23.02.1

Running
multitail /var/log/installer/curtin-install.log
on the serial console shows the output I would have expected on the HDMI monitor.

Based on the version of subiquity, I was suspecting that the livecd-rootfs patches to disable compact systemd-journald were missing.

I've checked the image available here https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/current/ It has the patches for systemd-journald but it also has an old subiquity snap (23.02.1) (snap revision 4384) which runs on core20.

I wonder if refreshing the subiquity snap would solve the issue.

The edge version of subiquity (22.02.2+git1193.7c4d3328) does not solve the problem.

Heinrich mentioned that the edge snap has the same problem.

Edge snap is very out of date. We need risc-v snaps to be building again.
What's the status of libgcc-s1 fixes?
