** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
   * On arm64 Desktop install ISOs, the message `error: snap "subiquity"
  is not installed` can be observed repeatedly on the console.
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
  1. Download Noble ARM64 Desktop daily image from cdimage: 
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/noble/daily-live/current/.
  2. Boot the ISO in a VM with no graphics. For example, use qemu with 
-nographic option.
  3. Observe that, after the boot succeed, the console is spamed with errors 
instead of asking for credentials.
  4. Create a Noble ARM64 Desktop and a Noble AMD64 Desktop with the proposed 
livecd-rootfs version. The method is similar than this one: 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12eZa2BSbv4cWtj5YN0eoy4LYbEb0LpcW3BWyr1onDtU/edit?tab=t.0.
  5. Run the ARM image in a VM with qemu and -nographic option. after the boot, 
the console will not get spammed with the error message. The user can log in.
  6. Run this same image with an autoinstall configuration. The installation 
should succeed.
  7. Run this same image without -nographics. The UI installation should 
succeed.
- 8. RUN the MAD64 image without -nographics. The UI installation should 
succeed.
+ 8. Run the AMD64 image without -nographics. The UI installation should 
succeed.
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
   * As usual, the risk is never zero
   * We are deleting files not in use by the desktop install ISO.  If this was 
done incorrectly, we could harm the install.
  
  Original bug report follows.

  If `[email protected]` is masked, the situation improves.
  References to the subiquity snap should be removed from chroot overlay files 
for Ubuntu Desktop.
