[Bug 1789920] Re: Installation in OEM mode broken on bionic

[Brian Murray]

Hello Dariusz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/18.04.14.9
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

Title:
  Installation in OEM mode broken on bionic

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [impact]
  Users booting a device for customization in OEM mode have to switch to another vt to log in (and it's not very obvious at all that you can do this)

  [test case]
  I took the following steps:
  1. Booted from the ISO (using BIOS, haven't tested EFI).
  2. F4 -> set the OEM mode.
  3. Proceed through the initial setup.
  4. Agree to reboot for the OEM setup.
  5. Observe systemd boot messages.

  Expected result:
  User is offered a login prompt to login as oem user on tty1.

  Actual result:
  Boot is stuck without any error/explanation.

  [regression potential]
  The patch is very small, only affects OEM mode, and even if the new commands fail would have little chance for regression beyond not fixing this bug.
