22.10.1

• use_gap - The first available use case for Subiquity of Storage Version 2, a feature set exposing the ability to edit existing partition tables and resize disks, is the feature use_gap in autoinstall. use_gap allows for a guided install into existing free space without reformatting the entire disk. Example:

  # requires the subiquity-storage-version=2 kernel command line feature flag
  storage:
    layout:
      name: direct
      mode: use_gap

  In this scenario, a non-LVM guided install will be done into the largest free space. For more information on storage version 2, please see the Curtin configuration documentation.
• Better default keyboard layout and variant - the language chosen on the first screen of the Subiquity UI changes which keyboard layout and variant are suggested.
• Starting with Ubuntu Kinetic, cloud-init is configured in the installed system to disable itself after the first-boot configuration is complete.
• Integrate with cloud-init clean - several install artifacts are registered with cloud-init's clean functionality.
• Adjusted some UI colors with a goal of improved accessibility.
• LP: #1982903 - Fix 'Raid' object has no attribute 'path' error related to VROC
• LP: #1948823 - In the case where multiple copies of autoinstall data have been supplied, only one will be used. The precedence in that decision is
  1. /autoinstall.yaml (requires repacking the installer squashfs)
  2. Autoinstall provided by way of cloud-init
  3. /cdrom/autoinstall.yaml, which is where the autoinstall file will be located if placed in the root of the install ISO.
• LP: #1983265 - fix issue where static network configuration would produce a netplan config that used deprecated elements
• LP: #1987341 - add more users to the reserved user list to reduce cases where the user cannot be created
• LP: #1988407 - fix crash when editing logical volume on the confirmation screen
• LP: #1986674 - fix issue with Snap screen being shown despite being skipped. Interacting with the screen in this scenario "restarts" the install from the language screen.
• LP: #1989193, LP: #1989198 - Fix several failures related to the Snap screen and cancellation of retrieving the list of snaps
• LP: #1980584 - fix failure related to applying the apt configuration before the install source has been chosen
• LP: #1989353 - fix issue where the kernel package or flavor chosen in autoinstall was not respected
• LP: #1894009 - fix issue with the wrong keyboard layout in initramfs
• LP: #1992541 - fix bad partition placement for some disk sizes with guided LVM
• LP: #1992531, LP: #1992977 - fix crashes related to cleaning up mounts after running ubuntu-drivers
• LP: #1993257 - fix UI crash when reaching the custom disk layout screen if a storage probing operation is ongoing
• LP: #1987236 - fix issue in Curtin with s390x configurations that have nothing for chzdev to configure
• LP: #1980008 - fix issue in Curtin where cryptsetup wasn't always being installed on systems using it
• LP: #1992990 - fix issue in Curtin on relevant architectures where flash-kernel was not running due to the install happening in a chroot
• LP: #1992115 - fix issue in Probert that resulted in a crash related to /dev/loop0 not being found, as may be seen when performing a netboot install.
