Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Current software-center supports a "Test drive" mode using WebLive when:
- qtnx is installed
- "--with-weblive" is passed to the sofware-center command
As Edubuntu has been pushing WebLive almost since Ubuntu 10.10 released, we'd like to have that weblive integration by default in Edubuntu.
For this reason, we already ship "qtnx" by default on Edubuntu's DVD, we now just need to drop the "--with-weblive" requirement.
So this Feature Freeze exception would be to update the software-center to only check if "qtnx" is installed and turn on the weblive feature if it's the case.
This will make the WebLive integration turned on by default for Edubuntu 11.04 and won't affect any of the other flavors as only Edubuntu is shipped "qtnx" by default (qtnx is in universe).
This will also allow regular Ubuntu users to use that same feature by simply installed "qtnx" from universe on their 11.04 system.
This would indeed be great for inclusion in Edubuntu 11.04, please consider a FFe for this.
