[Bug 38442] Re: Ubiquity dialogues too large for 800x600 display

 

There are many bug reports involving installer window too big for screen. For example : #727905 #51442 #632320 #630363 #890983 #173392 #712848 #38442 . Perhaps some should be marked as duplicate to clean up the bug list.
This situation happens not only on some hardware but in some case of video driver limitation or virtual machines.
I suggest to make them duplicates of the oldest, #38442, provided that we mark that one as "also affects Ubuntu 14.04".
I'm adding some suggestions there.

  Ubiquity dialogues too large for 800x600 display

  Won't Fix
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” package in Baltix:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I booted, I was presented with a resolution in 640x480.  It was
  my _only_ option for some reason (will probably file a bug on that,
  too).  But I was exploring, and decided to check out the installer for
  Ubuntu.  Well, the only thing I could see was that it was
  experimental.  The window was too big for any of the buttons I'm
  guessing were hidden off the screen.

  //edit: installer is unusable even in 800x600
