Public bug reported:
Filing this under calamares-settings-ubuntu as this is where the
majority of the code will be.
Ubuntu Unity intends on moving away from the Ubiquity installer this
cycle. As discussed with team lead Rudra Saraswat on Matrix, the goal is
to move to the Calamares installer currently used by Lubuntu and
Kubuntu. (The Ubuntu Desktop Installer was considered but does not
appear to be Ubuntu Unity's intended installer at the moment.)
It is the belief of the Ubuntu Calamares maintainers (the Lubuntu team)
that this is a relatively safe change to make, as Kubuntu was able to be
ported to using Calamares in a couple of days, and the remaining work
was mainly due to development of brand new features (almost all of which
will simply be ported to Ubuntu Unity rather than being created from
scratch). Furthermore, Lubuntu has a thorough testing checklist for
flavors that use Calamares, helping to catch both flavor-specific and
Ubuntu-wide bugs in Calamares.
Upon completion, all existing Ubuntu Calamares features will be enabled
for Ubuntu Unity, including OEM installation mode, a try or install
screen with network and localization selection menus, and full disk
encryption with unencrypted /boot. This will require the following
packages to be modified:
* calamares-settings-ubuntu: Add config for Ubuntu Unity
* ubuntu-unity-installer-prompt (which will be a NEW package): Port installer
prompt screen to Ubuntu Unity
* casper: Automatically log into an ubuntu-unity-live-environment X session to
start the installer prompt screen, provide the installation icon on Ubuntu
Unity's desktop
* debian-cd: Remove Ubiquity preseed, adjust GRUB menu entries to only provide
a "Try or Install Ubuntu Unity" entry, as the OEM installation mode will be
triggered from within the live environment rather than from the GRUB menu
