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

[Adam Szewczyk]

Check once again. I can install jammy on that VM without touching
anything in the VM settings. Just boot, proceed all unnecessary for
normal Ubuntu steps from my case, and start ubiquity the same way.
Installation was successful but in logs there are all that access denied
messages. I can upload that logs if that can help. Jammy booted from
virtual drive and seems to work.

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).
