Ubiquity doesn't show correct media name

[Sanchit Gangwar]

While installing Quantal Daily builds I noticed that at the slideshow stage when ubiquity is actually installing Ubuntu, it shows the status of what it is currently doing, like configuring apt, Retreiving file, etc.

But even when I install it using Live USB, it shows "Checking CD-ROM". It should display "Checking Flash Drive" or something similar.

A screenshot is provided to make it clear.

I believe the string shown is external to ubiquity and maybe it comes from debian-installer.

Certainly changing it to a more generic "Checking install media" would be better.

I can't find the string you're referring to at the moment; could somebody post a screenshot or something or make sure that the string has been quoted exactly?

[Sanchit Gangwar (sanchitgangwar)]

I'll send a screenshot.

The screenshot says "Retrieving file 1 out of 3".... not anything about CD-ROM.
You can try doing a screen cast, and then freeze / grab frame with offending string.
