I agree ubuntu-system-settings should just handle seemlessly the existence or non-existence of aethercast on the system (meaning proposition 2.). If u-s-s does not cope well with this package being gone, it should be a Depends instead of a Suggests. But that is a different thing.
But that being said, on touch images we *require* aethercast to be installed by default, so it should be added to the seeds. I will take care of that. ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Assignee: (unassigned) => Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100) ** Also affects: ubuntu-touch-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ubuntu-touch-meta (Ubuntu RTM) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubuntu-touch-meta (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100) ** Changed in: ubuntu-touch-meta (Ubuntu RTM) Assignee: (unassigned) => Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100) ** Changed in: ubuntu-touch-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: ubuntu-touch-meta (Ubuntu RTM) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-touch-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625068 Title: aethercast binaries disappeared from the system Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in aethercast package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-touch-meta package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ubuntu-touch-meta package in Ubuntu RTM: In Progress Bug description: After update to 182, the aethercast binaries disappeared from the system, leaving the external display page in system-settings broken. phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ system-image-cli -i current build number: 182 device name: turbo channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu-pd.en last update: 2016-09-18 20:11:35 version version: 182 version ubuntu: 20160917 version device: 20160824-d33b825 version custom: 20160831-992-8-12 UPDATE: I've been told the change to make aethercast an option suggestion in system-settings caused to not have aethercast pulled in in the image builds. It seems like there are 2 fixes needed: a) Seed aethercast in relevant phone images b) fix system-settings to hide the external display section when aethercast is not around. Currently the button is there but just does nothing.
