[Bug 687670] Re: [Natty] Add a ubiquity slide for GDM Session choosing. Also add to help files.

 

This has mutated into two ideas, as I read the comments on the report.

First is the idea that the help be autostarted on first login. That's an
interesting idea, but probably deserves discussion on a wider basis that
just in a bug report. Would you be willing to start a discussion on the
ubuntu-desktop mailing list? Dylan is right that this is only really an
option now that yelp loads very fast, and we have a really inviting
front page for the help.

Second is the idea that the help should contain a page explaining the
different login options. That seems to be a good idea to me. I've opened
a separate bug report dealing with that at bug 813369.

Closing this one.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

  It is important to advertise that Ubuntu still include the "Ubuntu
  Classic Desktop" in 11.04, and since the GDM session manager is not
  exactly obvious, i propose showing it featured on the Ubiquity Slide
  Show for Ubuntu Natty Desktop, and also in the "New to Ubuntu?"
  section of help and support, see below:

  * A slide during the instillation of Ubuntu should demonstrate how one can log-into either the 'Ubuntu Classic Desktop' or standard 'Ubuntu Desktop Edition'.
  * This should also be included in the help documentation, preferably between the "Welcome to Ubuntu" page and the "Getting around the desktop" page, with a page title such as "Login into Ubuntu".

  I have never used bazaar before, or created a patch, but i will give
  this a go, support and guidance would be greatly appreciated (as would
  someone taking over ;) lol)
