[Bug 1883156] Re: bionic-live-server images stuck seeding snapd at early boot

[Paride Legovini]

I tested an ISO image with bionic-proposed enabled [1] and I can confirm
livecd-rootfs 2.525.45 fixes this bug.

Bug description:
  [impact]
  The bionic-live-server-amd64 images get stuck at early boot of the installer system waiting for snapd to be seeded. The seeding never happens. The problem can be easily reproduced by running:

    kvm -m 2048 -boot d -cdrom ./bionic-live-server-amd64.iso

  on a recent pending image. I just tested it with:

  Ubuntu-Server 18.04.4 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20200610)

  Note that the problem happens early, before subiquity sets up the
  network, so I don't think it's a problem accessing the store.

  [test case]
  boot the live server ISO successfully

  [regression potential]
  We should check that we don't regress the other flavours that seed snaps: ubuntu desktop, budge and mate. I think the seed.yaml in the main squashfs will be unchanged, which will be easy to check.
