Public bug reported: While groping for a workaround to bug #1909478 i tried logging into the ubiquity installer via ssh. This looks like a very nice feature, but unfortunately, when logged in thusly via ssh, the installer says "Guided storage configuration...Block probing did not discover any disks. Unfortunately this means that installation will not be possible."
