Everybody loves the "new" settings option where the user can switch between the default, light or dark theme.

I think it would be great if this option was presented to the user during the install.

• add the mascot_white.svg as the current ubuntu mascot logo
• wrap the language selection in a row together with a primary color colored mascot image

• add two new assets from @waynecrosby for the theme previews
• add AppTheme to main.dart and a new ChangeNotifierProvider for other Widgets to watch the theme change
• add ChooseYourLookPage to the routes
• add ChooseYourLookPage for the current design

Thanks @jpnurmi for the help <3

flutter skips rebuilding the const widgets. If we use const the widget only builds once. It doesn't rebuild when the build method reruns when you call setState.

The design for screen n°11, Allocate Disk Space

Design details https://people.canonical.com/~platform/desktop/installer/11.%20Allocate%20Disk%20Space/

A considerable amount of time of the WSL setup workflow in spent running apt to download and install language packs and fonts to ensure a good language support. The amount of time depends on which language is selected.

To make things worse, WSL 2 is known to have some internet speed limitation issue, such as what's described in https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4901 .

In line with the suggestion in https://github.com/ubuntu/WSL/issues/174 I plan to let the user opt-out for that language pack installation feature, trading setup speed for better language support. In such case Subiquity will only mark those packages for later installation, requiring from the user to run sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade at some point, whenever she feels like it's more appropriate.

To reflect that possibility in the UI, I propose changes to the Select your language page:

Current

Proposal

Notice that the checkbox subtitle changes from a disclaimer about the setup duration to an information about the command required to install the packages marked for later.

This seems to be a fairly recent regression (although I only noticed it yesterday): when running the installer from a git checkout on a system where the default locale is fr_FR.UTF-8, the language selected by default on the Welcome screen is French (as expected), but UI elements aren't translated in French until I click again on the "French" entry in the list.

The map in the original design is not accessible. Therefore, the initial version of the page comes without a map.

Hello, I'd like to translate the brand new installer but I'm not confident with the way translations are handled. Would it be possible to use an interface like launchpad or a weblate instance?

There are a couple of languges that require adding specific font packages to better support them for WSL. Unfortunately we didn't detect it earlier and the lack of such fonts is causing issues to users. Adding the required fonts will increase too much the image size, so the short term approach is to prevent the UI from translating itself into any of those languages. They will still show up in the "Select your language" page and selecting any of those will still be meaningfull for Subiquity, so they must be preserved.

With the following changes we go from this (notice the first line and last two):

Hello, When choosing manual partitioning you have a selection of filesystems to choose from, when selecting Btrfs it is incorrectly described as: "Btrfs journaling file system" [1], it is actually a COW filesystem and does not have journaling [2].

Let the user double-click partition entries to edit them, or "free space" entries to add new partitions, instead of forcing them to select entries first and then click the Add or Edit button below.

NOTE: Due to how gesture negotiation works in Flutter, handling double-click adds a 300ms delay for single clicks. This makes single-click selection and interaction with the Format checkboxes feel somehow a bit laggy.

Hi all.

I want to help, but I want to know if this project is active. Is this project active?

I would like to help with an idea, I am thinking of creating an ubuntu installer version with the distrochooser design

idea

Hello,

I am playing with the daily canary installer in a VM. The ubuntu-desktop-installer version is 698 and I am starting the VM using the following command:

kvm -cdrom lunar-desktop-canary-amd64.iso -m 4G -drive file=/tmp/foo.img,cache=unsafe -smp 2 -vga virtio

Oftentimes, the installation window disappears when clicking on a button (it seems the issue is not related to a specific button or a specific page). There is no visible error on the screen or in /var/log/installer. The window just seems to close and I suspect the install process terminates too.

The moment the window disappears coincides with a segfault in a llvmpipe process (which seems to be related to mesa) which I assume could be the root cause.
