Re: [lubuntu-users] [lubuntu-devel] lubuntu 32-bit 18.10
Hi Walter, Doing my best to reduce the workload of the bug fixers... Yesterday I printed and studied the notes you recommended. There was a typo in the notes, however, it contained a link written as "How to Write Bugs Effectively". It should read "How to Report Bugs Effectively". As an on and off programmer, I have never needed a guide to introducing bugs :) This evening I downloaded and installed the 18.10 32-bit release of lubuntu via USB flash drive:- 38e0bf05b6bfc3faa700f779e94cc1b7 lubuntu-18.10-desktop-i386.iso *In a nutshell:* I don't think it is a calamares bug - from what I understand, calamares is the installer. The problem is something to do with window management. When a window is created, whatever is creating the window does not take into account that the taskbar takes up vertical pixels. The result is that you sometimes end up with some windows that have some of their contents hidden by the taskbar. *Hardware details:* Samsung NC10 Netbook, hostname: hawking Intel Atom N270, 1.66GHz, 32-bit, 2GiB RAM, 149.05 GiB hard drive, no optical drive, Ethernet and WiFi connections, lubuntu typically installed via USB flashdrive https://gist.github.com/21b61903871ee685fc79 Screen dimensions: 1024 x 600 pixels, 270 x 158mm Resolution: 96 x 96 dots per inch *Notes from this evening's install of 18.10* Installing from USB flash drive onto netbook. The "Welcome to the lubuntu installer" window's buttons - e.g. "Next" & "Cancel" are obscured by the taskbar. Maximising this window not only fixes the problem for this screen but for quite a few following screens (that is "Location","Keyboard", "Partitions","Partitioning"). When I chose to edit a partition, the resulting subwindow had to be maximised for me to see the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons which appeared to be obscured by the taskbar. *Conclusion* I don't know whether this is a window manager (openbox) issue or if it is a problem with the display manager (sddm). What do you think?

Same way you file bugs against anything else: `ubuntu-bug `**package_name** So in this case, `ubuntu-bug calamares`. More information on reporting bugs in general can be found on [our wiki][1].

I'm sure there's a joke hiding in that sentence :) BW, Ian -- -- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - http://www.accu.org -- My writing - https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/ -- Free Software page - https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/home/free-software -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Ok, Ian, I have confirmed that the Calamares window is indeed outside of the bounds of the visible display if the display is 1024x600. Obviously, it would be worse if it was less. There's a screensize check which we don't enforce (I'll change that for the next version) but the minimum size is 800x520 so it wouldn't trigger that anyways. Which leaves me a little baffled. I need to do some more research on this. Could you file a bug against calamares so I can track this and otherwise keep everyone updated? Bonus points if you do it on bare metal. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
