2021-11-24 21:31:43 Michael Hudson-Doyle description In the recent focal-live-server-amd64 dailies, e.g. in: Ubuntu-Server 20.04.3 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20211124) some snap related errors are printed to the terminal at boot time, and then subiquity doesn't start. Jumping to tty2 and doing a simple systemctl status snapd shows that snapd complains about the state of the core18 snap, and indeed /snap/core18/current/ is empty. Reinstalling core18 and refreshing subiquity from the candidate channel makes it start normally. This looks like a problem in the snap seeding. [impact] In the recent focal-live-server-amd64 dailies, e.g. in: Ubuntu-Server 20.04.3 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20211124) some snap related errors are printed to the terminal at boot time, and then subiquity doesn't start. Jumping to tty2 and doing a simple   systemctl status snapd shows that snapd complains about the state of the core18 snap, and indeed /snap/core18/current/ is empty. Reinstalling core18 and refreshing subiquity from the candidate channel makes it start normally. This looks like a problem in the snap seeding. This turns out to be because the core18_*.snap file is missing from the live layer, thanks to some over enthusiastic cleanup in a livecd-rootfs hook. [test case] build a focal live-server iso with livecd-rootfs. check it boots. [regression potential] the fix touches a hook that only runs for live-server builds, so even if buggy it can't really make things worse (as current ISOs are basically inoperable)
