[Bug 325958] Re: Jaunty Alpha 4: Ubiquity windows does not fit on 1024x600 screen

2009-04-03 Thread Colin Watson
I've fixed bug 287626 at Matthew's suggestion.

With Ubiquity 1.12.2, which adjusts the timezone map size depending on
the screen size, the interface takes up a respectable amount of room on
1024x768, scales down to fit comfortably on 800x600, and *almost* fits
(and is IMO usable) on 640x480. Thus, I'm going to downgrade this bug
and take it off the release-critical list for Jaunty; I think we've done
enough for the moment.

In the 640x480 case, the main problem is actually horizontal space - so
800x480 will be mostly fine - although the buttons at the bottom right
do go a little bit off-screen once we reach the partitioner. This could
perhaps be rectified by moving the (currently broken) warning message
about "Use entire disk" up to alongside the radio button rather than
below the drop-down box.

Installing Jaunty on a netbook. There is no fix, but there is a
workaround.

* Download the alternate ISO. The one with the text installer.
* Put this ISO on your bootable USB stick with 
(http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html) 
* And boot from USB stick the alternate installer.

This is a Beta version and I really won't advise to use it as a
production system. If you use your netbook for production I think it is
wise to use a big SD card for doing experimental installations. I have
16Gb but I think 8Gb should work too. Read the manual for booting from
stick and SD card as test system.

Another argument is that some mid devices have smaller screens and
screen resolutions of 800x480 are common in that space.  As more mids
hit the market, this will become a greater issue.

2009-03-31 Thread Bruno Girin
Vendors have been coming out with more 9-10" screen models recently but
most 7" models have a 800x480 resolution, such as the EeePC 701 or the
Nokia web tablets.

Anyway, the real problem for netbooks as I see it is that the maximus
package in Netbook Remix automatically resizes standard windows to the
screen's size but doesn't do anything with modal dialogue windows, which
is what seems to be used in Ubiquity (please correct me if I'm wrong).
There could be 2 approaches to resolving that problem:

1. Make Ubiquity use a window type that maximus can handle (possibly
only do that if the maximus package is installed).

2. Change maximus so that it can resize all types of windows.

Having said this, there is another use case which I think we should
consider: what if the user trying to install Ubuntu has selected large
fonts on purpose (such as a user with bad eyesight)? In this case, even
on a large screen you could have a situation where the window ends up
being larger than the screen. So maybe the criteria would be to start
Ubiquity full screen based on a combination of screen area and font
metrics?

2009-03-31 Thread Tomasz Dominikowski
It does not matter if any vendor is currently selling such netbooks or
not. I don't think this is a reasonable condition upon which it should
be decided whether to support 800x480 screens or not. My notebook is no
longer produced, does that mean we should drop support for it? Just
because nothing was done to support those screens during the first
netbook boom doesn't mean nothing should be done now. Granted, it is a
small part of the install base, but they do exist and because of that
they should be supported. If this is too hard and/or late to do now it
should be deferred to Karmic, but it should be done.

I didn't read the previous comments in detail, and I didn't know any
vendor was still selling netbooks with 480-pixel-high displays. If
catering for those displays is a priority, I suggest that Ubiquity
automatically start full-screen whenever the display is less than 550px
or so high. That way, the panels and title bar won't be taking up
vertical space.

@Matthew: this may solve the problem for 1024x600 screens but it won't
solve it for the smaller 7" netbooks that have a 800x480 screen
resolution. What about having specific behaviour for very small screens,
such as scrollbars splitting the wizard into smaller screens with less
information on each of them?

If we are serious about Ubuntu being a good netbook OS through UNR, we
need Ubiquity to work at all screen resolutions, even the smallest ones.

2009-03-27 Thread Evan Dandrea
I've committed fixes to ubiquity trunk for making sure the partition
bars do not grow larger than they need to be (though looking now it
appears there's more to fix here as it's still a little too big), as
well as moving selecting a disk via option buttons to selecting it via a
drop down box.

With the change to pack the "Who are you?" page into a scrolled window,
which I haven't committed yet, the installer is 530px tall.  I suspect
I'll be able to take off another 10-15px once I figure out what's going
wrong with the partition bar size allocation.

[Bug 325958] Re: Jaunty Alpha 4: Ubiquity windows does not fit on 1024x600 screen

2009-03-26 Thread Evan Dandrea
I've looked into this a bit further.

If I pack the "Who are you?" page into a scrolled window, the size
shrinks down to 694x371 until I get to the automatic partitioning page,
where it jumps up to 694x539 (when two drives are present).  Part of the
problem here seems to be the partition bars are requesting an allocation
that is exactly twice as tall as it needs to be.  I'm looking into this
now.

Equally, the more disks are present, the more this page is going to
grow.  Colin suggested in bug 320977 that we pack the automatic
partitioning page in a scrolled window as well.  But late in the Jaunty
cycle I was speaking with Matthew Paul Thomas about the UI of this page
and he suggested a number of changes, among them putting the drives in a
drop down box and moving it to the top of the page, which I mocked up
(beneath some of his other mock-ups) here [1].

I'm not suggesting that we try to move from "select an option, then a
disk" to "select a disk, then an option" by moving the disk selection to
the top of the page.  But perhaps putting the disks in a drop-down box
instead of radio buttons, in the same place on the page, would be a good
start.

This bug is still present in the Xubuntu jaunty-desktop-amd64.iso and
jaunty-desktop-i386.iso dated 20090324.1. This is the pre-release for
Jaunty Beta. Unfortunately, I do have a normal size 17" CRT that is not
able to show the entire screen when "Install Xubuntu" is chosen from the
startup menu. They are much bigger than if "Try Xubuntu without any
change ..." is selected and the install executed from the desktop. Since
this is a normal screen, it should be able to show the entire panels.

2009-03-19 Thread Evan Dandrea
The window is currently 546px tall.  This appears to be entirely due to
the user setup page, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much we
can do there.  Most of the space on that page is used up, and everything
strikes me as being equally important.

I therefore think we have two options.  We can either violate the HIG
slightly and trim some spacing away, or we can pack the main VBox in a
scrolled window, which I personally think would be a bit ugly.

As the panels are 24px each, we only need to shave 6px off to fit in
600px.

It might also be worth noting that ubiquity should have no issue
displaying on a 1024x600 screen in the Install Ubuntu mode.

2009-03-04 Thread Alex Krastelev
Asus Eee 901, alpha5: same issue, connecting external monitor and using
higher resolution helps as a workaround.

IMHO the bug importance should be at least "Medium" or "High", because:

1) A  person coming from Windows experience can be completely stuck on
the very first step of installer. There is no visible way to access
// buttons in ubiquity (no scrollbars, no panning).
It is more than a minor inconvenience - it prevents user from installing
Ubuntu. Even if they don't give up and find some workaround, it spoils
first impression (cant even run installer).

2) Virtually all 9" netbooks (asus, dell, acer...) have similar 1024x600 9" 
screens with ~134 dpi.
All of them seem to be affected. This is bad as low-cost netbook segment is 
important for Jaunty.

I verified whether display dpi was correctly detected by Alpha4 (the 
screenshots above), and yes dpi was correct.
DPI was detected as 134 dpi,  this is the correct value for eee's 1024x600 9" 
screen. 

It seems that fonts are correctly adjusted for high dpi,  but correctly
displayed 10pt font simply becomes too big for a 9" screen to run
installer.

As a suggestion, maybe on for smaller, high-dpi screens dpi detection could 
adjust default font size too?
For example, "if less than N lines of default size text fit on the screen, 
reduce default font size to fit at least N lines" ?
This would be more elegant solution than forcing user to change to a fake 96 
dpi.

2009-02-06 Thread Alex Krastelev
Confirm, ubiquity dialogues are unusable on netbook 1024x600 panel since 
Alpha4. 
In Jaunty Alpha 3 dialogues were OK.

Seems to be related to  the new feature of Alpha 4: "Font Size
Optimization: Font dot-per-inch settings are now optimized based on your
monitor's capabilities, rather than defaulting to 96 dpi." (from
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha4).

See attached installer dialogues from Alpha 3 and Alpha 4, they
illustrate the problem.

I've noticed that the font DPI is set to 118 by default. It used to be
96. Changing this value did not help. Even removing the bottom panel
completely did not help, as the window is simply too tall to reveal the
bottom buttons.
