Bug Description

When the live-installer is run via a serial console the screen size is not detected correctly.

During the installation we see a mixture of subiquity and whatever happened to be on the screen before (see appended screen shot). Please, clear the screen completely.

The first incorrect output is when asking whether to use the graphical installer. So the clear screen must be done before that question.

A complete clear screen is possible in C with:

#define CSI "\x1b["
printf(CSI "2J" CSI "1;1H");

Best regards

Heinrich
