Bug Description

Installed Mythbuntu 14.04.2 LTS. In Control Centre, Sytem Roles, selected Ubuntu Desktop as Desktop Role & Apply. The confirmation dialog only displays one of two lines of the proposed action. Selecting Apply and entering password & selecting Authenticate brings up a dialog that says:

"CD/DVD 'Mythbuntu 14.04.2 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Release amd64 (20150218.1)' is required-
Please insert the above CD/DVD into the drive '/media/cdrom/' to install software packages from it."

The file is actually named "Mythbuntu 14.04.2 LTS amd64" (downloaded today).

Meanwhile, another dialog "Applying Changes" displays a half-finished progress bar with either the word "Donwloading" or "Finished" beneath it. If I insert the installation DVD And select "Continue" in the first dialog, the dialog flashes but is not dismissed. There is no problem with the internet connection, and I don't see why the installation disk is required (I have another Mythbuntu computer that added the Ubuntu Desktop without any problems and without requesting an installation disk).

I should note that I added the Mythbuntu and Myth repositories to the updater during installation and downloaded the latest updates.

This machine is used as a frontend and secondary backend. Installation was simple, and I am able to access the primary backend without any problems. I really like this product!

Work around -- as simple as it is obvious. Go to System Settings -> Software & Updates. On Other Software tab, deselect cdrom. Then start Mythbuntu Control Center and, in System Roles, select Ubuntu Software and Apply. The Ubuntu Desktop will install from the web.

Is this still an issue? We pull this stuff in from main ubuntu, so it would be an issue with how that works.
