Public bug reported: Hello.
Guys from XDA ported ubuntu on Eee Pad Transformer. Look this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141 and this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cFcjB3_RsI (on video Gnome2 DE, but Unity has similar problems). And you can look that is not very comfortable. So, I have some ideas how to do it better. First, the top panel. It is a good for mouse, but not good for finger. It's too small for finger. If it will be bigger in 2x ot 3x (and all icons and plugins on it) it will be more comfortable Second, mouse hovers. It's greate idea for mouse, but we can't use it with finger. So, maybe it's a good idea to add a button on top panel that will show menu? Third, screen keyboard. It's too small, ugly and turning on by hands. Maybe, it will be good if Unity shows screen keyboard automatically when user select input field (only if Ubuntu didn't find keyboard). It's a basic things that will do Ubuntu more comfortable for tablets. And the last. It's not problem of interface, but good thing for tablets. If Ubuntu will have port of Dalvik, it will can run Android applications. So, users will be possible to use Ubuntu without problems with software ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: unity 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.48-generic-pae 2.6.38.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic-pae i686 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,compiztoolbox,snap,colorfilter,text,workarounds,neg,copytex,annotate,clone,commands,gnomecompat,move,place,regex,resize,rotate,screenshot,imgpng,water,zoom,grid,imgsvg,unitymtgrabhandles,expo,winrules,kdecompat,session,vpswitch,mousepoll,titleinfo,shift,ezoom,resizeinfo,mag,switcher,thumbnail,wall,staticswitcher,fade,scale,unityshell,ring,scaleaddon,opacify] Date: Wed Sep 14 12:52:58 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-04-29 (137 days ago) ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 natty running-unity unity-2d -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/849845 Title: Unity interface for tablets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/849845/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
