anyone tried installing ubuntu-desktop via ipxe/22.04 live iso subiquity method?

Just recently, running a network ipxe install of Ubuntu 22.04 results in an error 100 when trying to install the ubuntu-desktop package. I can try and switch to xubuntu-desktop and while that allows my process to complete and boot the system, the environment is not really xubuntu, but rather a vanilla version of gnome with xubuntu login/shutdown screens and few other items.

It seems it can't install ubuntu-desktop automatically, I can get out of subiquity and into the OS with another DE and complete the install that way, but we'd much rather get ubuntu-desktop working instead. Editing the user-data used by the ipxe install method, I had the ubuntu-desktop as part of late commands and moved it to packages section (that's how I found it errors out on this package) I'm not sure if anything different has happened to the package itself, it seems to install fine when you drop to a shell due to the error and manually run the Curtin in target command to install ubuntu-desktop.

I've done some searches for this online and I don't see many users running a similar setup or nothing issues like this. I'm also not sure as to what the error 100 means, but in other testing (by error really) I found that it may relate to a package it can't find? (Entered krb5-util and that gave error 100 error, should have been krb5-user) Hopefully someone who knows more on subiquity automated installs can help. Thanks in advance.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
