ISO is booting to desktop, not a screen with "try" and "install" buttons

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu ISO testing tracker.

A list of all reports related to this bug can be found here:

Well there is a question!

If ubuntu boots straight to the live session then its a qa tracker test case issue.

If it doesn't then I'm guessing some-sort of livecd-rootfs issue maybe.

Certainly the legacy ISO has a try/install screen.

@fossfreedom how was the budgie installer in the past? Since the Ubuntu one was always booting to the try/install screen - was it the same for the Budgie installer as well? Is this a regression from previous builds?

As I mentioned - ubiquity also booted to a try/install screen.

With the new flutter installer I have only ever seen it boot to a live
session. I haven't looked at Ubuntu itself to see what it does. If
Ubuntu also boots to a live session to perform the install then its a
test case issue - the test cases on the QA tracker will need to be
updated for the new installer.

On bootup the Ubuntu (new) installer displays a Try or Install Ubuntu screen.

The Unity ISO, which I believe uses Ubiquity, is also booting direct to desktop.
