[Bug 1849684] Re: casper preseed url not working

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

So there were multiple bugs:

- preseed/url= not accepted as valid pressed key
- url= accepted twice, once as netboot iso and once as d-i/ubiquity preseed config
- in server iso, it meant we downloaded .iso twice
- in desktop iso, it meant preseeding was broken

Everything should be now fixed with v1.434 upload in focal, see diff
below:

Can you please try daily focal to double check preseeding works for you
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ?

I will try to SRU casper, but not sure if we will be making 19.10 point
release to roll out fixed media. If we don't, and this is urgent for
you, you can unpack initrd and patch scripts/casper as in the diff
above.

Bug description:
  When booting ubuntu iso from grub, the parameter url= is  downloading (needs ip=dhcp)  the preseed file via http but  Casper thinks that with the url= parameter that it is netboot.
  Same error with preseed/url= parameter.
  This used to work ok in ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04
