ubuntu-unity receives "Ubuntu has experienced an internal error" and boots straight to live session instead of install when booting from iso

[Tim Andersson]

title really. It boots straight into a live session instead of booting to install gui. You can install from this point but I'm sure this isn't intended.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Any issues on the Ubuntu 23.04 ISOs cannot be fixed (almost guaranteed), as there are no plans to re-create newer ISOs (ie. 23.04.1). The next planned release is Ubuntu [Unity] 23.10 (mantic). At most documentation can be created at this point over this issue (if confirmed). I'll not close this bug report for that reason (though not currently filed against a ubuntu unity package.

If this issue is a problem, I suggest you download the current Ubuntu Unity (mantic) daily and see if the same error occurs there. If you're not familiar with testing/QA ISOs, you can follow links on this page (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/446/builds) for mantic. Issues on the mantic (23.10) ISO can be fixed, as it's still currently in alpha. Any problem on mantic/23.10 can be fixed. I'll suggest creating a new bug if it occurs on mantic, then link (reference by comment, or duplicate link) this report.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu [Unity] better.
