Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gfxboot
Dear Developers,
My bugreport is a wish list only, but possible containing some useful ydeas
with new artwork:
In Lucid Beta 1 release, Colin Watson do a new gfxboot artwork, and simplest
menu system with new users. This is absolute not problem with new end users.
:-):-)
But, for example I am a visual impaired developer, and if the new artwork is
present the display, I am not always known when need press a tab key to get
back old menu, and after this setting accessibility mode, etc.
Now, in live CD the time setting with 50 in isolinux/isolinux.cfg file with
following line:
timeout 50
If I known right, this setting means 5 second, old setting is 300 (30 second).
After the time is expired, I think the default action is launch Ubiquity
installer, the problem with this method is following:
This window now default inaccessible with Orca screen reader, because prewious
not setted accessibility mode. I don't no how can possible the new artwork
setting accessibility preferences before executing default action, I known only
old method, i unfortunately not see the display and not always have personal
helper people.
Because I see this problem, temporary I copyed old bootlogo file with
prewious alpha3 live CD, because the old method is easyest use me.
I have some suggestions, I don't no what possible doing you, and what
suggestions disturb another non visual impaired users:
1. Need insert a short beep when the new artwork is displayed, visual impaired
people known after the beep need press a Tab key if he would like get back
traditional menu system. But, I don't no this feature disturb non visual
impaired users or not.
A compromise way is an option, wich possible toggle in isolinux.cfg or another
config file, for example, beep=yes or beep=no. But if you choose this
compromise way, this method help developers if would like do special Ubuntu
based distributions for visual impaired people, for example the Vinux
distribution developers, but not disturb the beep with non visual impaired
endusers.
2. Possible need increase the timeout setting with old 300 setting.
3. If possible, need do a config option with toggle the user would like new
gfxboot artwork or not. This is only a technical feature request and
development specific purpose request, not important with non visual impaired
end users, but I write for example I why would like this option:
In hungary, with a nonprofit organization I developing since two years ago a
hungarian special distribution with based on Ubuntu, for hungarian visual
impaired people. This distribution interesting is following default awailable
features (I not write all features):
1. Default enabled accessibility support with Orca screen reader (screen reader
mode). Only need add the access=v3 with the text.cfg file with append=... lines
with try ubuntu and install ubuntu menu parts.
2. Enabled accessibility support with screen reader mode with future created
users (copyed all accessibility related setting with /etc/skel) in live cd, the
advantage this method: when the installer is installing the target system,
automatical copying this modifyed /etc/skel folder, and if the visual impaired
people creating another user, accessibility support is default working with new
user, not need setting lot of g-conf key without screen reader.
3. Default enabled braille support (etc/default/brltty changed the
run_brltty=no to yes in live cd filesystem.squashfs file).
4. Setted some default disabled key bindings (launch Terminal, launch web
browser, etc).
5. Some builtin only hungarian specific Orca customization script (RSS content
handle, weather spokening, name day spokening, etc. :-):-)
My distribution is similar with Vinux distribution, but only using
hungarian language and hungarian specific modifications and hungaryan
specific functions.
Ubuntu Lucid is a very good development distribution, I am using day by
day, and very stable. Congratulation all developers the good work,
because I known, this is very hard work.
