Hi,
I wanted to install Ubuntu GNOME from a standard Ubuntu net boot ISO. once the
base system is installed the installer gives one a long list
of choices, LAMP server, ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop,
lubuntu-desktop etc.
Nowhere in this list could I find an entry to install the standard Ubuntu GNOME
desktop. since Ubuntu GNOME is now an official flavor I feel
that it should be included in this list.
Is there something I am missing ? and how to install Ubuntu GNOME such as the
"normal" live CD would do directly from a base install off a
neboot ISO ?
Samuel.
Hi Samuel,
I imagine we'll need to either file a bug report against 'tasksel' or maybe Tim
could discuss this with Colin Watson? I did discuss the
mini.iso with Jeremy Bicha clear back in Raring:
https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/msg00249.html
gnome-session packing has been split this cycle, so above issue should no
longer be a problem.
Before we request 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' be added to 'tasksel' we need to figure out what
exactly we want it to "install". I'm performing a
CLI test install now and I could see that just installing only
'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' pulls in some unwanted Unity packages such as
'unity-settings-daemon'.
In theory it should just be the 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' package. What other
Unity packages are getting pulled in?
Give me a day or two to investigate this more closely in a chroot ;^)
Right now I'm trying to follow up on this unrelated gufw bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gui-ufw/+bug/1295783
I know that package is not installed in a default Ubuntu GNOME install because
it gets pulled in when I install 'gnome-session-flashback', so
I assume we need to have 'tasksel' install either 'gnome-shell' or
'gnome-session' before proceeding with the installation of
'ubuntu-gnome-desktop'?
LP :#1276983, Although there may be another bug report somehere, I believe
there was a patch floating around at some point.
Any thoughts Tim?
I'll be glad to perform any testing needed.
Lance
Thanks for your attention to this,
