[Bug 987392] Re: avatar picture choice broken - no predefined images, no webcam (lubuntu)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.13.17

---------------
ubiquity (2.13.17) raring; urgency=low

  * Remove webcam step (LP: #1118589):
    - User testing showed people are not expecting to be photographed and
      raise privacy concerns as to where the picture will be uploaded to.
    - Provides limited benefit, as avatar only ever shown on multi-login
      systems in the switch user indicator / pkexec.
    - Crashes the installer or doesn't work with certain webcams.
    - Miss detects camera presence, when it's just a sensor.
    - The recommendation is to move webcam test to checkbox / hw testing,
      as video conferencing is very popular these days and should work
      reliably out of the box.

  * Do not count optional pages, when updating the progress dots. This
    fixes "Porgress dots, well don't progress after partman step"
    LP: #1152746
  * Do not mark explanatory text on "Installation Type" screen
    insensitive, as otherwise it's ineligible (LP: #1074386)

Title:
  avatar picture choice broken - no predefined images, no webcam
  (lubuntu)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The installer (lubuntu precise i386 of today) did not show any picture
  to choose as an avatar.

  Furthermore, no webcam image was shown (although this has worked for
  me in ubuntu 11.10 (ubuntu not lubuntu). User interface elements of
  previous installation step kept visible inside the webcam image frame
  for various seconds, then vanished.

  Attaching screenshot.
