Ubiquity cannot choose to install particular desktop environment. Ubiquity doesn't pull in any individual packages, as debs are not available on the desktop CDs. Ubiquity simply copies the complete contents of the live-cd (which is preinstalled with particular desktop environment, settings, default applications and language packs using debootstrap) and then does additional cleanup. It may install some additional packages over the network, but that is not majority of the system.
Won't fix, means it does not fit the goals of the project. A new user does not necessarily know what a desktop environment is, nor how to qualitatively choose between them. The current situation is: download cd, click try. If you like it, click install. If you don't like it, download something else. Maybe you will like that one. You are free to create debian style multi-cds/dvds/bluerays with all the packages as debs and run debian-installer in gtk mode. Then you can choose which Desktop Environment to install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1055866 Title: Combine all official derivatives differing only in default desktop environment to single distribution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1055866/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
