[Bug 38442] Re: Ubiquity dialogues too large for 800x600 display

[Joaquín Ignacio Aramendía]

This bug appears again in Oneiric live sessions (today build 17-Sep-2011
08:40).

Test case: Virtual Box with a resolution of 800x600 (running ISO Test
ufo-001).

The problem is that all control buttons below are not accessible. This
is a major issue in netbooks where the resolution by default is XXXXx600
and becomes an annoyance if Oneiric is to be installed on a netbook.

Noticed that this happens on the two first dialogs: "Welcome" (where you
select the language) and the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" one. Then the
window is resized to a sane size and can continue normally. Then when
you select the partitions, happens again (and keeps through the next
screens), making impossible to open the command line feedback without
getting off the screen (aside of Bug #830946). When it reaches the
Slidshow, again it is resized to a smaller size but can't open the
command-line feedback without the last bottom pixels going off the
screen (so we can't tell what is below, maybe a hidden countdown to a
'rm -rf /*' :P)

This could be solved by integrating the ubiquity window frame to the
unity panel.

  Ubiquity dialogues too large for 800x600 display

Bug description:
  When I booted, I was presented with a resolution in 640x480.  It was
  my _only_ option for some reason (will probably file a bug on that,
  too).  But I was exploring, and decided to check out the installer for
  Ubuntu.  Well, the only thing I could see was that it was
  experimental.  The window was too big for any of the buttons I'm
  guessing were hidden off the screen.

  //edit: installer is unusable even in 800x600
