Persistence should be detected and display a different button to "Try Ubuntu"

[Jono Bacon]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When installing Ubuntu really only two out of three installation possibilities are presented:

 * Try Ubuntu - try Ubuntu in a live CD setting.
 * Install Ubuntu - install Ubuntu to the hard disk of the computer.

But there is also the ability to run Ubuntu from the USB stick if persistence is turned on and use it as a conventional system, albeit it slower.

Today if you have persistence turned on you keep getting the installer window appearing and asking you to select one of the two options presented above.

Ideally persistence should be detected (if it was switched on when the USB Disk was created) and if it is switched on the 'Try Ubuntu' button would say something else such 'Launch Your Live Ubuntu' or something better.

I raised this on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-November/032092.html for more background.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 677272

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
