"(as superuser)"

Bug Description

The Xenial desktop images run the installer with title bar that says "Install (as superuser)". The "(as superuser)" part feels like a forgotten debugging string.

I've seen this on both the i386 and amd64 images.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We noticed that you were installing the LTS version of Ubuntu using an older version of the installation media. The latest point release of 12.04 is 12.04.5. Please try installing from that version of the installation media and see if that resolves your issue. Thanks in advance!
