Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Hi,
In ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py, slideshow location is hardcoded
(slideshow_dir = '/usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow'). But ubiquity-
slideshow-xubuntu ships its slideshows in /usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow-
xubuntu (I thought it was better if it didn't conflict with ubiquity-
slideshow-ubuntu, hence the different path). Unfortunately, this
prevents our slideshows from being displayed.
I can move xubuntu's slideshows to /usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow and a
conflicts: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu if this is the preferred solution.
Or, since ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/xubuntu aren't shipped together on the
livecd, ubiquity could check for /usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow-xubuntu if
/usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow doesn't exist.
Another solution (proposed by didrocks), is to use GDMSESSION (e.g., if it is
defined, build the directory with something like slideshow_dir =
'/usr/share/ubiquity-slideshow' + '-' + os.getenv('GDMSESSION')), but I don't
know if it will behave correctly in "install only" mode, when the desktop
environnement isn't started).
Any thought?
Thanks.
