Bug Description

After a fresh 18.04.2 desktop install, I have a curious item at the top of the launcher called 'Install RELEASE' which doesn't correspond to anything I was expecting or want on the system. Screenshot attached.

Please could you check if Ubiquity is still installed?

$ dpkg -l | grep -i ubiquity

I have seen this bug before too, but not recently. I thought at the time it was a pre-release bug and it seemed to go away in final ISOs. Also, bug 1837998 seems to report the same issue.

Could you add /var/log/installer/ from the installed system to the bug?
