Hello,

If someone with affected hardware feels like helping with some testing, we would be interested to see if the issue is fixed after applying the committed change. Sadly we do not have new ISOs available at the moment so to test the fix, one would need to:

1. Boot the 23.04 desktop installer ISO
2. Open a terminal
3. Copy the source file to change to a writable location:
   $ cp /snap/ubuntu-desktop-installer/939/bin/subiquity/subiquity/models/subiquity.py /tmp

4. Edit the file /tmp/subiquity.py and apply the following change: https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/pull/1671/commits/0bf2d9d38db49569b134c4fc8dfd69966f317c02

5. Bind mount the edited file to its original location:
   $ sudo mount -o bind /tmp/subiquity.py /snap/ubuntu-desktop-installer/939/bin/subiquity/subiquity/models/subiquity.py

6. Restart the installer:
   $ sudo snap restart ubuntu-desktop-installer

7. Proceed with the installation (ideally using the same settings than used when the bug was encountered)

If the fix seems to work for you, please say so. Otherwise, I'd be happy to investigate.

Thanks,
Olivier
