Bug Description

Today I did a mantic installation (using ISO image from Sept 14th) in a z/VM guest.
The early boot steps ran as usual at the console level (the basic network config),
but when I switched over to the remote ssh session I've noticed that subiquity ran in basic mode,
rather than in rich mode (like in the past).
(Basic mode means mono-chrome - rich mode is colorful.)
The installation itself and subiquity worked okay in basic mode, it's just a bit less convenient.

I believe that this could be a regression due to a recent activity around fixing 'preserving rich mode'.

I agree and was able to reproduce this issue in my installs on z/VM.

I opened https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/pull/1802 to get it addressed - but requires some testing.
