[Bug 2063203] Re: Build ubuntu-core-desktop images

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hello Łukasz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into noble-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/24.04.72 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Build ubuntu-core-desktop images

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  We want to be able to build iso installer images that would install
  Ubuntu Core Desktop to target device. This is a completely new image
  and product, but it's important to get building as early as possible.

  The first core series that we want to support here is 24. However, due
  to issues with the ubuntu-core-desktop installer snap, the snap does
  not work on noble (which would be the best place to build the images
  from). However, since Ubuntu Core Desktop is a separate entity outside
  of the archive, it actually does not matter which Ubuntu series the
  'installer' part is. We can install Ubuntu Core Desktop 24 with no
  problems from a mantic installer.

  And this is what we want to do: backport the ubuntu-core-desktop build
  changes to mantic and, for now, use it for building the mantic images.
  We can switch to noble once noble works with the snap again.

  [Test Case]

  Run an image build on cdimage of ubuntu-core-desktop and see that the
  image builds and boots into the installer.

  [Regression Potential]

  Since some code-paths needed to be changes, there is a very low risk
  of other ubuntu-image based builds failing. So a re-check of all
  ubuntu-image based images would be recommended.
