Brian, the verification is simple: 1. Open ubuntustudio-installer 2. Check to see if ubuntustudio-gnome-branding is an option for installation. - if NO, verification-done - if YES, bug still exists
I made the change in the description to outline that. Since there still seems to be confusion, I have further updated it. ** Description changed: [Impact] * Users of desktops other than GNOME are erroneously installing "ubuntustudio-gnome-branding" from the package selection, causing gdm3 and all of gnome-shell to be pulled-in as dependencies. Users of desktops other than GNOME, especially if new to Linux, don't know any better and select it regardless. * While pulling-in and configuring gdm3, dpkg waits for the user to select between gdm3 and an already-installed DM, such as lightdm or sddm. * This upload fixes this by eliminating the "ubuntustudio-gnome- branding" from the selection. [Test Case] * Using any flavor other than Ubuntu proper (i.e. the GNOME) desktop, install and run ubuntustudio-installer, selecting "ubuntustudio-gnome- branding" as an option. Click the "Install" button. * Installer will hang while awaiting DM selection instructions from the user, but are not available due to the way Ubuntu Studio Installer's tk/tcl script functions (does not present a selection dialog). - * New version does not include "ubuntustudio-gnome-branding" as a + * New version does not include "ubuntustudio-gnome-branding" as a selection, so test case for new version should no longer show "ubuntustudio-gnome-branding" as a selection. + + 1. Open ubuntustudio-installer + 2.

[Other Info] * This was not done originally as it was thought that users would actually read the description of the package explaining that it's for the default GNOME desktop only. Unfortunately, questions on askubuntu.com and in the IRC chat room have appeared with this very issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833740 Title: [SRU] Option in ubuntustudio-installer pulling-in gdm3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-installer/+bug/1833740/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
