Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
This happens during the installation of Xubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 Herd 5.
Description: The installer window has a minimum size (won't resize any
smaller) that is too big for my laptop with a 1024x768 display. In
xubuntu, this means that the installer's cancel/back/next buttons are
off-screen. Perhaps the install program doesn't adjust its minimum size
to adjust for top/bottom panel encroachments on screen real estate.
Steps:
1. Boot with xubuntu-feisty-desktop-i386.
2. Wait for xfce to finish starting.
3. Double-click on "Install"
4. Smile at welcome screen, but remain befuddled because there are no buttons
to click in the window.
Workaround:
I moved all the panel applets to a single panel along the left side (right side
probably also okay). The installer window barely fits in the remaining space.
A novice user might be lost and frustrated, but perhaps xubuntu does not target
such users. Does this problem appear in ubuntu/kubuntu?
