Bug Description

Ubuntu Natty daily live 20110404
Ubuntu Focal daily live 20200312

1. Start up from the live CD.

What you see: The window has "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu" options, but it is labelled "Install". That's a little presumptuous. :-)

What you should see: Until you choose to install Ubuntu, the window is labelled "Welcome", or (since it already has a "Welcome" header) maybe just "Ubuntu".

<http://goo.gl/hKQqu>: "Once Ubuntu has started up, an 'Ubuntu' window should appear ... If you choose [the 'Install'] option, the window title should change to “Install Ubuntu” for the rest of the process."

Changing strings in the SRU is not appropriate, due to translations knock-on effect. I do not believe this is appropriate change to be SRUed into precise. This needs design, to come up with appropriate window titles.

Specification updated. <https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1bZ4yQIVgGaUGSYu3qiUHnQt3ieBZoqunP_DcleHCr3I/edit#heading=h.2c55189bbb97>

In summary: Initially the window should be titled "Ubuntu". If you choose "Install", the title should change to "Install Ubuntu"; if you choose "Sync" (if implemented), it should change to "Reinstall From Sync"; and if you choose "Repair" (if implemented), it should change to "Repair Installation".

... and bumping to S since it's too late to mangle translated strings for 13.04. Sorry. Let's try to get it done this time.

As I understand it, this issue was fixed/hidden for a few years, because the decision of trying vs. installing was promoted to Grub rather than Ubiquity.

Dimitri and I recently agreed to simplify the Grub menu by deferring this decision back to Ubiquity, so it’s now an issue again. In the meantime, you can reproduce it in Focal with the command “ubiquity -g”.
