Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

indicator-session in Maverick's desktop installer seems to be fairly vanilla. It has "Lock Screen" and "Switch From ubuntu..." options, neither of which make sense for an installer. After the installer completes it gains a "Restart to Complete Update..." item, which also doesn't make sense.

The "Restart to Complete Update..." message comes from indicator-session, and there's currently no means to change that string. Adding a task to indicator-session for advice from the Ayatana team as to how we might solve this.

The "Lock Screen" and "Switch from ubuntu..." options can be disabled by setting /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_lock_screen and /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching, which I'll add to ubiquity-dm now.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.4.0

---------------
ubiquity (2.4.0) maverick; urgency=low

  [ Sebastian Heinlein ]
  * Rework oem-config-gtk to use a mainloop (LP: #637517)

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Call gconftool-2 --set with --config-source.
  * Better lock down the installer environment when past partitioning.
  * Lock down the installer environment when at partitioning commit,
    rather than just after automatic partitioning (and not manual
    partitioning) (LP: #640604, LP: #641897).
  * Do not show the quit button in OEM mode.
  * Depend on aptdaemon (LP: #641051).
  * Fix the skip download button (LP: #628311).
  * Make the '[type here to change]' string translatable (LP: #642989).
  * Disable the non-free software option if multiverse and restricted
    are disabled via preseed (LP: #641676).
  * Install kubuntu-restricted-addons, not kubuntu-restricted-extras
    (LP: #643614).
  * Clear hostname error when fixed (LP: #640661).
  * Deal with broken /cdrom symlinks (LP: #642274).
  * Disable locking the screen and switching users in the installer
    session (LP: #644016).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Stop ubiquity and oem-config when stopping display managers. This
    should guarantee that X has exited by the time we try to start plymouth
    on shutdown (LP: #628630).
