[Bug 1976177] Re: Ubiquity not using password provided by UI

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with the disk to which you are trying to
install Ubuntu.  I'd recommend performing a back up of your existing
operating system and then investigating the situation.  Measures you
might take include checking cable connections for your disks and using
software tools to investigate the health of your hardware.  In the event
that is is not in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's
status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  Ubiquity not using password provided by UI

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  System: Skywave Linux Flashback Release: 4.3.0 - this is a Focal Remix
  live-cd based on Ubuntu 20.04.4 (https://skywavelinux.com/)

  Ubiquity Version: 20.04.15.19

  I want to install this live distro on VM (standalone HVM on Qubes OS -
  but I think this not make any difference). I installed ubiquity,
  ubiquity-casper, ubiquity-casper, ubiquity-frontend-gtk,ubiquity-
  frontend-gtk-panel and ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu via apt after 'sudo
  apt-get update'. I also mounted booted iso as cdrom (using: 'sudo
  mount /dev/loop0 /media/cdrom' and 'sudo ls -s /media/cdrom /cdrom')

  Then poceded installation as normal. When it comes to "Who are you?" page all fields without password was filed by some garbage/error "10 passwd/user-fulname-casper-backup doesn't exist".
  I changed it to values desired by me and chose some simple password.

  Instalaltion crashed on user-setup. After some dbugging I found out
  that $PASSWD variable that is used by setpassword() in user-setup-
  apply script file is set to "10 passwd/user-fulname-casper-backup
  doesn't exist" despite I was trying to set a new password via UI.

  I also add question about that behavior to find some workaround (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+question/701995).
