Bug Description

A UEFI mode install will download and install the latest signed kernel, when there is a newer version available than what's provided on the ISO.

However, the 14.04.2 daily ISO (20150217 deskop amd64) downloads and installs the 3.13.0-45 kernel, even though 3.16.0-30 (lts-utopic) is on the ISO and is what the system will boot to.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for ubiquity has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

Just confirmed that this is indeed fixed in the 20150218 deskop amd64 daily ISO.

Also confirmed this fix works when doing an OEM install, which I didn't test previously for lack of an easy to use live environment.

Hmm, possible regression introduced by this fix: after I complete a UEFI mode install, and then run:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I get a message that that "linux-signed-image-generic-lts-utopic" was automatically installed and is no longer required, can be removed with "apt-get autoremove".

Also, last night I had a situation where it wanted to remove grub-efi... which didn't work out so well on a uefi system :)

This might have been a quirk somehow introduced by doing an OEM install, still tracking that down.
