[Bug 1214732] [NEW] Use gnome-shell as window manager in ubiquity-dm (Ubuntu GNOME)

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Dmitrijs Ledkovs (xnox):

Currently the metacity/panel setup of ubiquity-dm provides for a
terrible transition when booting the Ubuntu GNOME live cd.

It would be very nice and much more consistent if we could use a gnome-
shell session mode for this.

The gnome-shell side would involve creating a json file that defines the
limited UI of the session, much like what is done for gdm login screen
and gnome-initial-setup. This json would be shipped by ubiquity.

ubiquity-dm would then need to launch  `gnome-shell --mode=ubiquity`.
