For god's sake, touchscreens should work out of the box

I took a 6-year old computer with a builtin touchscreen (not a notebook) that had Ubuntu 7.10 installed on it, and it had the touchscreen working, though I guess it had needed some work to set it up correctly. I installed 12.04 LTS on it, wiping out the old installation. The touchscreen didn't

Welcome Jack! You've already got a 14.04 install, so as you say, you are ready to go. Have a look at the roles page if you haven't to see what all you can do during the cycle. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles/Tester For this cycle I am encouraging everyone on the team to install and run

Re: [Lubuntu-comms] People do not understand the desktop installer

Back when we had Brainstorm, I suggested Ubiquity (Ubuntu installer) be given a warning popup for both side-by-side and "use whole disk" as well as custom partitioning, which requires you to acknowledge the risk of such installations and that all information would be at risk of being destroyed (

Re: [Lubuntu-comms] People do not understand the desktop installer

Okay, I think it's safe to say that so far having the initial selection warning followed by an impossible to misunderstand dialogue box that requires a check box confirmation is a solid plan. While I still think that the idea of have a youtube video is a good one: how, where, and when to implem

Re: [Lubuntu-comms] People do not understand the desktop installer

Hi, the video idea is not so good for another reason: it would need to be dubbed in all supported languages, and that's not very practical. On ven., 2013-10-25 at 17:03 +0400, Ali Linx (amjjawad) wrote: > > On Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 4:53 PM, Jack Ramsay wrote: > Dear all, > >

Re: [Lubuntu-comms] People do not understand the desktop installer

William, I would say that the video would be a pain because Ubuntu is used around the world and the video would have to be painstakingly be made in many languages. The pop-up with the check-box would be the way to go its not intrusive or anything and it wouldn't be too hard to add. On Oct 25, 2013

Re: [Lubuntu-comms] People do not understand the desktop installer

You could easily make a video and have the file located locally and just point the html/pop-up to the file, that way it would not matter if they had internet or not. Just an idea Fetz Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -Original Message- From: Elfy Sender: ubuntu-quality-bounc

Re: [Lubuntu-comms] People do not understand the desktop installer

Dear all, In my opinion the pop-up is a great idea. Also, The youtube video is a good idea but what if people don't have internet. I also think that if we add a check-box to the pop-up so that the user understands what they’re doing. That will cause them to stop and read what is there. This may hel
