persistent usb live UNR creates multiple install links - one on every boot

[Tim Potter]

The summary explains it all. I currently have 4 "Install Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix 9.10" on the Favorites menu of the Live USB. The first is located before an added link. 3 additional ones are located at the end.

Upon the last reboot, the 3rd showed up.

(karmic alpha 6).

I can't reproduce this with the current live CD image, and I thought I had already fixed this -- the casper package that fixed this bug was uploaded on the 12th of September -- the week before Alpha 6. Perhaps your persistence filesystem already included those links?

That is likely, as I installed alpha 5 on the same thunbdrive. I
assume you tested the UNR image right? If it's not reproducable, then
I guess it's invalid.

Thanks for attempting to verify.

Alpha 5 would have been affected by this bug, and I quietly fixed it between Alpha 5 and 6. I guess the persistence filesystem still contained the multiple ubiquity icons, and so displayed them. I'll set this bug as Fix Released, since it is fixed.

Just to note, though, that the icons actually created themselves in Alpha 6.
It wasn't a rollover from the A5 environment.

In order to install alpha 6, what I did was delete what was on the
thumbdrive, and run the USB installer from Jaunty to create the Alpha 6 boot
drive.

So I might suggest confirming that the issue doesn't exist on a clean
install of A6 on a thumb drive.
