ubiquity is probably the most atypical autopilot tested project =) bamf may or may not be running, may possibly not even be installed and certainly not available over dbus. ubiquity supports following Desktop Environments: - ubiquity-dm - unity - gnome-shell - gnome-panel - XFCE - LXDE - and maybe others Also ubiquity, when running under autopilot, is already past re-executing with pkexec and thus has all environment cleaned and is running as root. At which point a private root session DBus is started, and autopilot is launched as root into that same DBus session. I expect no Bamf, or any initial / other DBus services be privileged to peak into that envrionemnt / windows. > Are you able to check if it's running? What environment are your tests > running in?

I don't think we need or require an application snapshot from bamf daemon over dbus. Under full unity desktop session, i believe we do have a launcher icon and/or maybe a progress bar (can't remember of top of my head) but is very non-essential parts of ubiquity. At the moment, our autopilot tests excercise the installer itself to an acceptable level which replaces majority of the manual test-cases / scenarios required to pass for milestone image release. This bug at the moment, is one of the blockers for release team to start mandating autopilot tests passing across all image flavours.
