Bug#381978: debian-installer: etch d-i installs an antique mouse cursor
Reassigning #381978 to meta-gnome2, this will be fixed when meta-gnome2 enters testing. I'm not sure that this analysis is correct. - Currently in testing gnome-themes _is_ installed through the desktop task as gnome-desktop-environment depends on it - However industrial-cursor-theme is _not_ installed as it is only recommended as gnome-themes only recommends it and because that package is not included on the first CD I don't know what the dependencies around meta-gnome2 will be, but I doubt it will be magically included... So, if it is really important for Gnome to have this package installed for a good user experience, you will need to work with the tasksel maintainers to tune the task definition. I would suggest you try an installation from full D-I beta 3 CD sometime (make sure you do _not_ select to use a network mirror as source in addition to the CD) and check the results. Note that currently the 2.4 kernels still take quite some space on the first CD (88 MB) and that that space will become available for other software (mainly the desktop task) with the RC1 release of D-I. Cheers, FJP P.S. Note that this installation report was closed; leaving it to the Gnome team to reopen it (or not). pgpoCGrp2oWq8.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think there was a period of time where the industrial cursor theme wasn't in the archive, when it was moved from gtk2-engines-industrial to industrial-cursor-theme. Do you think it could be the GNOME cursor? Submitter, is this fixed if you install industrial-cursor-theme and create a new user? Bye, -- Loïc Minier [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, I did realize this was more probably a Gnome issue than X after I'd reassigned. Feel free to reassign again. I think there was a period of time where the industrial cursor theme wasn't in the archive, when it was moved from gtk2-engines-industrial to industrial-cursor-theme. Well, this is a very current installation of Etch. Maybe there still is a problem, either in dependencies or in the definition of the gnome-desktop task. Would be great if someone from the Gnome team could check this. Michael: Exactly which image did you use for your installation (full URL if possible)? Was it a full CD image, a netinst or something else? When did you download it?

I'm not sure which cursor or gnome package is the right one. Thank you! - David Nusinow

Package: debian-installer Severity: minor after installation, the etch X cursor looks very antiquated (plain black and rather small). i am a huge fan of the pretty white cursor that came along with sarge, and am dissapointed that it has gone away. i'm not sure if the current cursor is a mistake or was discussed and selected. i think that the sarge cursor looks better than the windows cursor and as such was an advantage. anyway, my vote is to bring back the pretty white cursor. mike -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
