[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.7.30

---------------
ubiquity (2.7.30) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Harald Sitter ]
  * [KDE] Fix language selection comobox position within grid (LP: #743062)
  * [KDE] Make intro label miminum expanding, otherwise word wrap will not
    work for vast amounts of text

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Unset UBUNTU_MENUPROXY so our custom panel doesn't lose its
    indicators (LP: #837287).
  * Port the panel to GTK3.
  * Manually connect the activate-link signal on the advanced
    partitioning tool link on the automatic partitioning page.
    GtkBuilder signal mapping appears to be broken (LP: #852054).
  * The first partitioning page does not translate its options ahead of
    time, so ensure that the placeholder text isn't so long as to create
    the installer window to grow excessively large before partitioning
    is reached (LP: #837406).
  * Use the new network-manager interface on the prepare page to disable
    options that need an Internet connection when one is not available
    (LP: #848938).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel
    2.28ubuntu33.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Change wallpaper C program to accept a path to a wallpaper as a parameter.
  * Update ubiquity-dm to set the right wallpaper for Edubuntu.
  * Fix ibus in Ubiquity (LP: #838850)

  [ Aurélien Gâteau ]
  * gui/qt/stepKeyboardConf.ui
   - Put keyboard variable combobox on separate line (LP: #851160)

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * kde_ui.py
   - Fix breakage in debfilter crash dialogue

Title:
  installer dialogue buttons fall off bottom of the screen on netbooks
  with small displays

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ISO testing: Installing http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20110830
  /oneiric-desktop-amd64.iso

  Following desktop install instructions on ISO testing
  http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopWhole

  Machine: HP Mini

  On a display with resolution 1024x580 quite a few of the installer
  dialogue boxes are taller then the screen and hence the buttons fall
  off the bottom of the screen.  One has to use Alt-left button to move
  the diialogue up the screen to be able to access the buttons.  This
  was not a problem with Natty.

  This makes the system un-installable to novice users who don't know
  how to use the Alt-left button to drag the installer dialogues around
  the screen.
