Editing the Ubuntu ISO to skip try/install page with Cubic?

Edit: Many people have been linking this post as a duplicate of the current question. While the process would probably be similar, I do not believe the steps would be exactly the same. The linked post shows how to skip this:

As can be seen from the 2 different screenshots, this is not what I'm trying to achieve here. If I am mistaken, please comment below.

I was wondering if anyone could take me through the process of editing the Ubuntu 20.04 ISO with Cubic to skip this page:

and go right into the live session?

@leoperbo not quite? I mean the linked post goes into skipping the disk check process right? That's the black screen with "Press Ctrl+C to cancel all filesystem checks in progress"? But that's not what I'm looking to bypass here.

@user68186 wait, is that what the confusion is about? Thing is, this is one of the few clear images of the try/install page I could find online. The arrow was there to begin with. I definitely want to skip to the live session. I'll try to edit that arrow out, if that helps but I still don't understand why everyone is linking this post --> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1361056/editing-ubuntu-iso-with-cubic-to-skip-the-disk-check

After you disable the "Try Ubuntu / Install Ubuntu" pop-up dialog, do you *still* want the ability to install Ubuntu from the Live environment by clicking on the Install desktop or dock icon?

@PJSingh I intend to use this as just a live USB so I don't require the ability to install from this ISO. But thanks for explaining both methods.

You have two options to boot directly into the desktop environment, without displaying the "Try Ubuntu / Install Ubuntu" dialog:

  1. Lose the ability to install Ubuntu from the Live environment
  2. Retain the ability to install Ubuntu from the Live environment

Option 1: Lose the ability to install Ubuntu from the Live environment

Remove the Ubiquity installer. On Cubic's Terminal page, execute the following:

apt autoremove --purge ubiquity ubiquity-casper ubiquity-frontend-gtk ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork

(Note: The package ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu may be different for your flavor of Ubuntu. For example, it could be ubiquity-slideshow-kubuntu, or ubiquity-slideshow-xubuntu, etc.)

This will log you directly into the Live environment. However, there will be no Install Ubuntu icon on the desktop or in the dock. You will not be able to install Ubuntu from this Live environment.

Option 2: Retain the ability to install Ubuntu from the Live environment

Disable the Ubiquity service. On Cubic's Terminal page, execute the following:

rm /etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/ubiquity.service

This will log you directly into the Live environment. The Install Ubuntu icon will remain on the desktop and the dock. You will still be able to install Ubuntu from this Live environment by clicking on one of these icons.

Mr. T
Testing in Ubuntu 22.04, it appears `rm /etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/ubiquity.service` results in the install option being removed from the desktop as well

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
