Precise mini.iso's offer Ubuntu LXDE desktop rather than Lubuntu desktop

[Erick Brunzell]

Quite simply the mini.iso's should offer Lubuntu desktop rather than Ubuntu LXDE desktop. The installation from the 20120209 non-pae mini.iso actually does result in Lubuntu after selecting Ubuntu LXDE desktop so this should be fairly simple to fix.

Just the name needs to be fixed.

It would actually appear that we just need to change the title in 'tasksel' because "tasksel --list-task" shows this:

lubuntu-desktop Ubuntu LXDE Desktop

Whereas other commonly used DE's show up as expected:

kubuntu-desktop Kubuntu desktop

lubuntu-core Lubuntu minimal installation

ubuntu-desktop Ubuntu desktop

xubuntu-desktop Xubuntu desktop

I'm really clueless about some of the other options and I lack time to test them.

[Erick Brunzell (lbsolost)]

I marked this confirmed, hope that's not a step too far, but I'd think this would be a simple fix. And it would greatly reduce confusion using the mini.iso to install Lubuntu.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

It needs a change in the seed, which is already done. It probably just need to wait until tasksel is in sync with the seed

[Erick Brunzell (lbsolost)]

Uh, I wouldn't call this fixed, now instead of "Ubuntu LXDE Desktop" there is NO option at all to install "lubuntu-desktop" .......... only minimal/core :^(

That's based on testing the Feb 23 non-pae mini.iso. Let's please not make things worse. You're killing us testers.
