Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
Install Ubuntu 20.04 beta
Install Ubuntu Tools on top with official installer
On the package selection screen, select whichever packages you want from
the left-hand sidebar (I'm pretty sure I selected all of them, but
possibly not the bottom one.) Then press the "enable backports PPA"
button, and all the packages you've just selected are de-selected, and
you then need to go and reselect each package before proceeding. Not
difficult, but less than optimal.
Preferred behaviour:
If enabling the backports PPA needs to occur before selecting packages, make
that step precede package selection;
OR
retain present installer workflow, but don't de-select packages when the
"enable backports PPA" is pressed.
Another improvement would see an option for "select all Ubuntu Studio
packages" (probably excluding gnome-branding), rather than having to
select each package individually. I think this might be like a "full
install / custom install" kind of option, such as seen in VLC, Libre
Office, etc.
Thanks,
Ken.
