Bug#930569: debian-installer: Dark theme installer selects MATE by default



Yes, I tried it few times (with the same iso) on VirtualBox 6.06.
I can try it again but please tell me which ISO should I use.

Odd... There's literally nothing I can see in the config for the dark
theme menu that would change the default desktop selection. For
today's build of that image, the isolinux menu is:

label installdarkgui
default installdarkgui
        menu label ^Graphical install
        menu default
        kernel /install.amd/vmlinuz
        append vga=788 initrd=/install.amd/gtk/initrd.gz theme=dark --- quiet

and the Grub menu entry (used for EFI boot) says:

    menuentry --hotkey=g '... Graphical install' {
        set background_color=black
        linux    /install.amd/vmlinuz vga=788 theme=dark --- quiet
        initrd   /install.amd/gtk/initrd.gz
    }

Can you reliably reproduce what you've seen?
