[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1283619@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.1.2+14.04.20140312-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.1.2+14.04.20140312-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * When the monitors change, go through and update all the launcher
    widths for all launchers. (LP: #1291034)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * UnityScreen: show the shortcut hint on first run (LP: #1283619)
  * UnityScreen: use switcher's LayoutSystem to compute the scaled
    windows geometries Thanks to this, both the Alt+Tab and Spread will
    use the same codepath to define the positioning of the scaled
    windows. (LP: #925454)
  * Decorations and Menus: a bunch of various fixes... (LP: #1283156)

  [ CI bot ]
  * fixes the segfault occuring when the scale factor is < 1.0 (LP:
    #1288166)

  [ William Hua ]
  * Unity shell plugin conflicts with gnomecompat. (LP: #1284532)

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Remove the test_icon_shows_on_quick_application_reopen Autopilot
    test and make it into a unit test since Autopilot has difficult time
    dealing with this test as the test fails occasionally. (LP:
    #1073990)
  * Add option to allow users to restore the scroll-over-inactive-
    Launcher-icon-to-focus-window behavior. (LP: #1288957)
  * Fix the inconsistent z ordering of windows when using the mouse to
    scroll the Launcher icon of the active application. (LP: #1286784)

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * Present a textual description of the state of applications to screen
    reader users when navigating the launcher. (LP: #1266298)

Title:
  No "first run" tutorial for Unity/Ubuntu

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  What should be done by design (approved by JohnLea):

  The first time an user access to his session, the Shortcut Hint should
  be prompted to the user, and it should fade out at the first user
  interaction (mouse button or key press).

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Summary:
  ========
  When a user first logs in to an Ubuntu install, they are just dropped on the desktop with no prompts on how to use the system.  A new user, say someone's grandmother, could have _no clue_ what to do.

  Proposed solution:
  ===============
  Given that Ubuntu / Canonical is focusing on expanding their userbase, I propose that a "tutorial" is shown every time a new user logs into Unity for the first time (EDIT: perhaps some sort of slideshow with an animation on each page -- see first comment with attachement).

  This tutorial will point out the BFB, the launcher, notification area,
  settings manager, and where to go to log out.  On top of this, it
  should be audiovisual to make it as accessible as possible.  If the
  user doesn't want to go through it, it should be a simple click to
  close the tutorial.

  This will set Ubuntu above the standard of other operating systems by
  ensuring that not only is Unity usable and intuitive, but that it is
  helpful in giving users a basic understanding of how to use it.  Not
  everyone's brain works the same, and Ubuntu is about making computing
  accessible to everyone.  I've heard too often "I didn't want to do
  anything in case it messed something up," and "it's scary doing
  something new on the computer."  A tutorial will give users the
  confidence to use their computer without fear of breaking something.
