[Bug 321937] Re: usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu
Not to be overly repetitive, but this is still an issue 8 years later... While the solution discussed above (pulling the release name from /etc /lsb-release) would certainly be nice, there's no reason this really needs a fix that complicated. Every instance of the word "Ubuntu" can be avoided by re-wording of a few sentences. If a patch is needed to get this fixed upstream we'd be more than willing to provide one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321937 Title: usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/321937/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was going to file the same bug but I serached before and found this one. It would also be nice to allow the use of any ISO image with internal structure compatible to that of Ubuntu, rather than /etc/lsb-release or hard-coded constraints.

[Bug 321937] Re: usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu
We forked the Jaunty version for Nexradix, and it works just fine, despite that the name in /etc/lsb-release isn't Ubuntu. The only thing we actually changed was the menu labels in the interface so that they were distro-neutral. So unless something has changed in the Karmic version, there aren't any hard-coded constraints for it to *work,* it just doesn't look right to have instructions mention Ubuntu in an app that isn't only distributed in Ubuntu. From what I can tell, the only thing your ISO image needs to work with this tool is the .info folder on the root of the CD, and the same structure of filesystem.squashfs (which should probably also be generated with the same version of casper as the version of Ubuntu that the corresponding usb-creator was released with). -- usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 321937] Re: usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu, rather than using the distro in /etc/lsb-release
With respect to hard-coded Ubuntu strings, I think usb-creator should source the release name from the CD image for the installation complete dialog, and the introduction label should be rewritten to not use a operating system title at all. ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Evan Dandrea (evand) ** Summary changed: - usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu, rather than using the distro in /etc/lsb-release + usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu -- usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 321937] Re: usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu
That would probably be easier, certainly. In fact, that's exactly what I did when I modified usb-creator for inclusion in Nexradix. I changed the intro label up top to read: NOTE: To boot or install from a USB disk, it needs to be set up as a startup disk. Make sure your system's BIOS is set to boot from USB. I considered using the more proper sounding USB drive term, but since the rest of the interface refers to them as disks I kept it the same for consistency. -- usb-creator has hard-coded references to Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
