[Bug 549595] Re: [Kubuntu Lucid] usability issues (skip buton and updates)

[mghansen256]

Update on issue 2:

In the installer for kubuntu 14.04 Alpha 1 desktop AMD64, the "Update
installer" link has moved to a page which is displayed only while the
installer is loading. On a fast machine, and when run in an emulator
such as KVM, this page is visible for about 1 second and then gone,
therefore there is no possibility to read or click it. I only noticed it
when installing on a real machine. On the real machine, clicking either
the "Update installer" or "Read release notes" links did not result in
any action. The mouse cursor was shown as a busy-icon, this could be why
there was no reaction to the click.

Title:
  [Kubuntu Lucid] usability issues (skip buton and updates)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  A couple usability issues in Kubuntu Lucid installer:

  1. The skip button which occasionally appears, shows up at the bottom,
  as a button with full window width, and it causes the window layout to
  change in a way that makes the slide show look jumpy. I think a better
  choice would be to put a standard-size button on the top (possibly on
  top of the progress bar to the right - on the same line as the
  changing description text). This would be more aesthetic with a
  normal-size button, would not change the layout/size of the window or
  its components, and will be more easily visible - near the progress
  bar and description text people look at, rather than at the far bottom
  beneath the slides, which is an area the user will certainly not be
  staring at.

  2. The 'update installer' option (same for 'read release notes') is
  currently a web-style link at the bottom of the welcome page text.
  This is easy to miss, and also pretty much breaks the consistency, and
  the point, of using a wizard ('next-next-next' style). Instead, this
  should be streamlined into the wizard as the first step - for example,
  a checkbox on the welcome content page. If selected, pressing 'next'
  will do whatever updates it needs to do (if updates are available). If
  unselected (or installer is already up to date), pressing 'next' will
  continue to the next stage. The option can be unselected by default to
  preserve current behavior, but I think this is still better usability-
  wise, as expected by a wizard dialog, and harder for the user to miss.
