[Bug 2114923] Re: Upon booting iso, no snaps are installed and desktop installer service crashes

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 25.10.13

---------------
livecd-rootfs (25.10.13) questing; urgency=medium

  [ Olivier Gayot ]
  * Build ubuntu-server with multipath-tools-boot installed, so that the
    multipath stack ends up present in the initramfs.
    The LVM stack is already present in the initramfs of the installer. And
    since kinetic, the /dev/mapper entries for LVM devices are created during
    the initramfs phase. This is a problem when we have LVM on top of a
    multipath disk because LVM ends up creating /dev/mapper entries out of
    /dev/sdX (or /dev/sdXpY) devices, not out of /dev/mapper/mpatha as it
    should. Adding the multipath stack in the initramfs gives multipath a
    chance to take ownership of /dev/sdX (or /dev/sdXpY) devices before LVM
    does (LP: #2080474).

Bug description:
  Upon booting an ISO (I believe this may only happen with slow internet
  connections) there is (sometimes) NO snaps installed. Snapd is
  functional but snap info list lists no snaps. The desktop installer
  services crashes, and thus the installer never boots up. After *quite*
  some time (approx 5m) on this live iso, snaps were installed, and the
  installer icon then functional. I've attached the journalctl to help
  debugging.
