Re: [Bug 289946] Re: Using the Live CD - ALL VERSIONS- Defaults to getting on the internet.
Oh there a person breaths... Actually the plain grey plug to plug logo is FINE - except I dunno. I'd like to see a more relevant symbol that represents an active internet connection. Much like the ahem - microsoft foreground computer screen and the background computer screen. That is a symbol type that everyone knows what it is and it's dynamically relevant. With - not so much flashing because that can be distracting - but glowing slowly on and off - when data is coming down of going up the connection. And I'd like to ELECT to establish an internet connection, rather than it be on *silently and inconspiciously* by default. I think not only for me, I'd feel better if that was an obvious choice, rather than an automated feature.

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Yeah been using Ubi for a long time and occasionally - I need to use a LIVE CD on a Windows system That's fine. BUT when I run Ubi, I usually run it firewalled and the same with Windoze... But what horrifies me a little bit, is that the Ubi live CD's upon booting, the OS has the internet connections ON and running - by default. Why? because I am usually backing up my carefully debugged and nasty free systems at the same time - and the last thing I want to happen is to be hacked - when the original data sets and backup drives are on the system at the same time. But this DEFAULT internet on setting ought to be switched off - because it's so damned passive and it's easy to overlook, even for me, and it's potentially a real trap for the novice. I feel that the internet connection must be turned off by default and a firewall with reasonably good and secure settings, ought to be enabled by default on start up as well. I also feel that a notice to enable the internet connection ought to be flashed on screen.. AND I also want to see a FLASHING internet logo - as in your internet connection is ACTIVE and sending and receiving traffic. This passive dead screen logo has to go and make it flash in interesting colors... like bright orange and green or something.

ALSO - rather than just ask people to WINGE about important things and NOT so important things, Give them a manual and software and teach them or teach themselves with online classes (downloadable) on HOW to program and fix problems themselves. The reasons why I hate forums is that they tend to be populated by silly people and there is not much in the way of establishing a connection between LEARNING HOW and forum participation. The I don't know how it's broken please fix it for me that's fine much of the time but I'd rather be given a crash course in HOW to program, and how to fix, rather than just stuck.
