** Summary changed:

- Inconsistent behaviour between automated uniquity launch and manual launch 
with presseed
+ Ubiquity ignoring preseed file contents

** Description changed:

  I need to perform a partially automated installation of a desktop Ubuntu
  trusty. The partitioning part should be fully automated creating a
  entire-disk encrypted lvm.
  
  While debugging my preseeding script I have encountered an inconsisted
  behaviour of ubiquity.
  
  In both cases I use the same image of desktop CD with a preseed file
  added to the CD.
  
  Scenario 1:
  1. Launch desktop live CD
  2. Select "Try Ubuntu"
  3. Load my preseed file with:
  # debconf-set-selections /cdrom/preseed/ubuntu2.seed
  4. Start ubiquity:
  # ubiquity -d --automatic
  5. Select language
  6. Continue after the internet connection check and drive space check.
  
  With Secnario 1 everything works fine - the partitioning is fully
  automated.
  
  Scenario 2:
  1. Boot a customized entry in isolinux/txt.cfg passing the preseed file in 
the kernel command line
  label live-install-test
-   menu label ^Install Ubuntu (test)
-   kernel /casper/vmlinuz.efi
-   append debug-ubiquity file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu2.seed boot=casper 
only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash
+   menu label ^Install Ubuntu (test)
+   kernel /casper/vmlinuz.efi
+   append debug-ubiquity file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu2.seed boot=casper 
only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash
  2. Select language
  3. Continue after the internet connection check and drive space check.
  
  With Scenario 2 I'm getting an error dialog:
- "No modofications can be made to the device Encrypted volume (sda5_crypt) for 
the following reasons: In use by LVM volume group ubuntu-vg."
+ "No modifications can be made to the device Encrypted volume (sda5_crypt) for 
the following reasons: In use by LVM volume group ubuntu-vg."
  
  Please find the provided preseed files and the logs from the failing
  case.
  
  Note: this contains a patch included in #1386113 to get pass the keyfile
  generation error.
