Bug Description

[ Impact ]

Due to an oversight during the creation of refreshed branding, it was mistakenly stated that the VLC media player ships by default in Kubuntu. This is false, Kubuntu ships the Haruna media player by default. See the attached screenshot. This should be easily fixable by changing "VLC" to "Haruna Media Player" in the problematic slide.

[ Test Plan ]

* Boot a Kubuntu 24.04 live ISO.
* Install into the live session an updated calamares-settings-kubuntu and calamares-settings-ubuntu-common package pair that comes with the fixed slide.
* Install Kubuntu, and ensure that the slide is properly updated and contains accurate info during the installation.

[ Where problems could occur ]

If the slide somehow becomes corrupted during saving (which I have seen happen!), it could break that slide (or even the whole slideshow or installer) entirely. This would be rather severe, however the test plan above will easily catch such issues.
