I don't think that's done, but it probably needs to be a separate bug against jockey. -- Not obvious session is live from CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think the already made changes *might* be enough. As long as it will stop you from doing anything that needs a reboot (nvidia driver, etc) and tells you that it can't because it's a liveCD. Does it do that last part? -- Not obvious session is live from CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 137492] Re: Not obvious session is live from CD
USB is a little more involved; you need to prepare the stick in a special way. I don't think there's room to squeeze this into the boot menu. I'll ask for ideas on ubuntu-devel on making it clear what's going on with regard to data. -- Not obvious session is live from CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Perhaps we could have a note on the wallpaper saying: Please note: Ubuntu is not yet installed on your computer, and any changes made here will be lost upon reboot.

Please discuss the possibilities on the ubuntu-devel thread I started (Subject: Data retention reminder on live CD). -- Not obvious session is live from CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 137492] Re: Not obvious session is live from CD
I responded there, but it said my comment is being held for moderation. Just to correct the previous note (somehow my email didn't get through), it should be this: Please note: Ubuntu is not yet installed on your computer, thus any changes made here will be lost upon reboot. To install Ubuntu, double- click on the Install icon.

[Bug 137492] Re: Not obvious session is live from CD
We now (in Hardy) have two CD boot menu options: * Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer * Install Ubuntu How does this feel? I'd like to avoid having to explain what a live CD is if possible; the Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer language seems more natural to me and avoids having to introduce jargon. -- Not obvious session is live from CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 137492] Re: Not obvious session is live from CD
So these are actually 2 matters: - the boot menu, for which i like Colin Watson's idea above - Reminding people (not necessarily the same person) that data is not saved on harddrive and will be gone on shutdown/reboot unless actively saved on-line, via USB, etc. Also you might want to add a stick in a USB now if you want to use that as home directory in the boot menu -- Not obvious session is live from CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 137492] Re: Not obvious session is live from CD
I don't think this is enough, There are 3 things needed to really fix this bug. 1) Change Start or Install Ubuntu to something else, Perhaps Start Ubuntu (then Install) 2) Make it discoverable what a LiveCD is. Perhaps by clicking on Live Session User? 3) Some way to inform them they are saving files to a LiveCD and that they will NOT be saved. -- Not obvious session is live from CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Starting with at least Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 5 in the Gnome desktop environment it says Live session user on the gnome panel. Do you think this makes it obvious enough?

That sounds much better.
