Bug#655195: Desktop shell type (GNOME, KDE, LXDE...) configuration via D-I udeb template (for wheezy)

2014-08-28 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen 
[Mike Gabriel]
 Hi Petter,

Hi.

 Can you please add MATE to the list of available desktops?

I do not plan to work on this approach any more until we decide that
this is the way forward, but feel free to update the package
yourself. :)

I suspect it is better to do this as a separate udeb, say
desktop-chooser, which when pulled into debian-installer will ask for
what desktop to use.


I wrote a udeb proposal for this and put it in the d-i git repository.
See URL: https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2013/06/msg00256.html 
for the proposal and code.

The git repo is availabe from
URL: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/desktop-chooser.git/ .

Bug#655195: Desktop shell type (GNOME, KDE, LXDE...) configuration via D-I udeb template (for wheezy)

2012-01-15 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen 

[Mike Gabriel]
 as a patch you find attached a _very_ raw draft (that shall give an
 idea) of a udeb template that allows selecting the desktop shell type
 (GNOME, KDE, LXDE, ...) during the installation process of Debian Edu.

I suspect it is better to do this as a separate udeb, say
desktop-chooser, which when pulled into debian-installer will ask for
what desktop to use.

It would be usable in the normal debian installation and also by Debian
Edu. :)

Options should probably be Gnome, KDE, LXDE, Sugar, but there might be
some desktops I have forgotten.  I suspect for our use we need to limit
the options a bit.

Bug#655195: Desktop shell type (GNOME, KDE, LXDE...) configuration via D-I udeb template (for wheezy)

2012-01-08 Thread Mike Gabriel 

package: debian-edu-install
severity: wishlist

Hi,

as a patch you find attached a _very_ raw draft (that shall give an  
idea) of a udeb template that allows selecting the desktop shell type  
(GNOME, KDE, LXDE, ...) during the installation process of Debian Edu.


This selection screen could either be added to the expert installation  
screen series or to the basic installation screen series. My  
preference would be to offer the question whenever installing a Debian  
Edu workstation (that is: becoming one question of the basic set of  
questions asked by Debian Edu installer).


As this issue is a wishlist item for wheezy, maybe people can comment  
on that and also give their preference if and where such a screen  
should appear. However, we should consider this from the user's point  
of view (admin teachers at schools).


Greets,
Mike
