[Bug 1901056] Re: Lubuntu OEM install doesn't work; it simply starts Lubuntu

[Chris Guiver]

OEM was last offered by Lubuntu 18.04 when we used `ubiquity`. The
feature was lost in switching to LXQt in 18.10 & later with the use of
`calamares`, thus the task https://phab.lubuntu.me/T16.  It's both
probably a bug (OEM is shown!) and regression (wanted feature was
removed but still appears on many uEFI boxes?).

The bug currently is the OEM is still being shown (on certain boxes; not
on others; ie booting the same ISO on various boxes gets different
options offered). This includes current 20.04.4 daily media still. This
will likely be dealt with via release notes like it was with 20.04.3
media, ie.

"OEM is not available for Lubuntu

There is no OEM mode available for Lubuntu in 20.04 as reported in this
bug. When selected a live session will begin."


The OEM option has been removed and does NOT appear on jammy dailies in my testing (including box(es) where it appears with 20.04.4 daily)

Title:
  Lubuntu OEM install doesn't work; it simply starts Lubuntu

Status in calamares package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Booting Ubuntu or its flavours from a Live USB gives five options,
  including an OEM installation.

  Lubuntu 20.04 provides the same options (see screenshot).

  Unfortunately, choosing "OEM install (for manufacturers)" in Lubuntu
  20.04 doesn't do as promised. It simply starts Lubuntu as if you'd
  chosen the first option, "Start Lubuntu".

  This is tested on Lubuntu release 20.04.1 (lubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-
  amd64.iso).

  Please fix this to allow for OEM installation for Lubuntu. (It already
  works correctly in Ubuntu.) I understand that the following task is
  relevant:
