Comment 71 for bug 966480

This may be related. I've noticed the past few days that the Ubuntu desktop daily image is being generated even though nothing has changed. For example, today the QA Tracker says 03-14 is available. But, zsynch says no data is downloaded (compared to the last one I had). When I run: strings focal-desktop-amd64.iso | grep "Ubuntu 20.04" it shows the ISO is still 03-09.

That's about when I noticed something with startup and shutdown changed (the media-check msgs are hidden, as is the "press ENTER" message). I think we're testing the same ISO every day.

Yesterday the QA tracker's date was 0313.4 (appearing to have been regenerated 4 times?). But, it took was unchanged from the last one. So, something funny is happening in this regard. And, it seems to have begun about the same time as what Bernard reported.
