[Bug 1066566] Re: 'Skip' button remains deactivated throughout and hence is unusable.

[Akhila]

Okay. I'll check if that can be done. Because as far as I've observed, 'Skip' remains deactivated. Maybe I should keep my eyes fixed on it for more time.
But then, if we inted to provide a provision to the user to skip certain steps, shouldn't we make it more obvious? I myself didn't know about this option 4 days ago, though I'm testing same image from almost two and a half months now. With no particular intention, I just clicked on the grey bar and I got the expanded view. What I'm trying to say is, users who are not testers will not repeatedly use the image for installation, not on a daily basis at least. So, isn't their chance of realising this option less? And if so, isn't it almost futile to provide this option at all?

Anyways, I'll update once I follow your suggestion with my next
installation.

Thank you.

Title:
  'Skip' button remains deactivated throughout and hence is unusable.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running desktop on VirtualBox. When mouse is moved over the installer info, it becomes grey and when clicked on it a 'Skip' button appears at the end of this greyed out block and below it appears installation information on a black background. This 'Skip' button remains deactivated throughout, until the installation completes. Hence, it serves no purpose, hopefully of hiding installation details. Screenshots attached:
  1. Installation details before mouse being moved over it
  2. Grey installation bar
  3. 'Skip' button at the end of the bar and installation logs below.
