Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity-frontend-gtk
Ubuntu derivative distributions (such as Nexradix, the GNU/Linux distro
we maintain) have to modify Ubiquity before deployment in order to
remove references to Ubuntu from code.
Currently, line 1183 in gtk_ui.py (/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend)
in the ubiquity-frontend-gtk package is:
"self.new_os_title = 'Ubuntu'"
This line controls what Ubiquity prints when showing the user the name
of the new OS it is installing. Rather than hardcoding this to read
Ubuntu, this could simply look at the distro listed in /etc/lsb-release
and print that name instead. That would keep derivative distros from
having to manually modify the package.
Related, but not as critical:
In the regular ubiquity package, /usr/share/pixmaps/ubiquity.png
contains the trademarked Ubuntu logo. I suggest replacing this with the
same icon without Ubuntu's logo, so this package doesn't have to be
modified by downstream distros in order to comply with Canonical's
trademark policy. I've attached the icon that we use in Nexradix.
Also, I have no idea where in Ubiquity it is actually displayed, but the
ubiquity-artwork package has a image with the Ubuntu logo in it. I
doubt this is an issue, though as it doesn't seem to be displayed
anywhere...
