New changelog entries:
* When automatically persisting logs, give each boot a clean /var/log and
/var/crash directory to avoid e.g. syslog becoming unwieldy and confusing
on a USB stick used to install many machines.
New changelog entries:
* Just like in Disco, overlayfs squashfs is tripped up with an empty
file, this time it's machine-id. Maybe we should finally dig into
what's wrong in the kernel/systemd when trying to edit overlayfs
multi-lowerdir squashfs readonly files. LP: #1848190
New changelog entries:
* Revert the cdrom changes from the previous upload, they seem to lead
to an empty /cdrom on the live session and to have no kernel on the
installed system as a result (lp: #1847457)
New changelog entries:
[ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
* Pacify systemd about cdrom.mount on boot, and order it correctly to be
the last one on shutdown.
[ Michael Hudson-Doyle ]
* Have 'nopersistent' on the command line suppress the automatic
creation of the casper-rw partition added in 1.416. (LP: #1846762)
New changelog entries:
* Add support for url=protocol://path/to/installer.iso netboot
option. Using this, one can netboot and complete installations using
kernel and initrd from the new Ubuntu Server Installer using `ip=dhcp
url=http://..../ubuntu-19.10-live-server-arch.iso' cmdline paratemers.
This is not specific to Server installer, and should work for Ubuntu
Desktop images too. Using this patch, successfully completed netboot
installation with dhcp networking over vlan on a POWER9 machine.
New changelog entries:
* Add dependency on finalrd for reliable live-session shutdown. Casper
setup live systems do have layering violations (/ actually depends on
/cdrom) and it appears that (although masked) the system manages to
rip it out, resulting in filesystem errors preventing completing the
shutdown. That's where pivot to finalrd comes in, to save the day and
blast the running system into oblivion and complete the shutdown. LP:
#1840122
