Originally assigned to: @antonym on GitHub.

Describe the bug
Using latest release, Ubuntu installations are not showing up in the menus under arm64.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Grab a Raspberry Pi, install an EFI implementation ( e.g.,https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 ) and boot to an arm64 build of netboot.xyz.
  2. Ubuntu not rendering on menus alongside CentOS, Debian, etc.

Expected behavior
Ubuntu arm64 installation options.

Additional context
It looks like other distros with arm64 were recently reworked in the menus, but Ubuntu was left out?

Yeah, Ubuntu still needs a bit of rework since arm distros do not reside on releases.ubuntu.com but reside on https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/20.04.3/release/ instead.

I just need to work around those upstream inconsistencies in the menu and build a netboot release for it. I'll try and get to it this weekend and then I'll enable it on the arm64 menu if it all works out.

Found that I was having issues with Legacy network installs on arm64, but 20.04 and up Subiquity works. You should be able to give it a try from the Development Endpoint menu under Utilities.
