Ubuntu Tour menu becomes unreadable when interrupting a tutorial

[Christopher Townsend]

[Impact]
* If a user wants to go back to the Ubuntu Online Tour menu after starting a tutorial, then the tutorial text is unreadable and renders the session useless.

[Test Case]
* Install the ubuntu-online-tour package. If on Precise, enable precise-backports.
  - apt-get install ubuntu-online-tour
* Click on the Dash home and type Ubuntu.
* Click on the "Ubuntu Tour" icon.
* Select a tutorial (like "How to play video")
* Click on the first couple of prompts.
* Click on the "Back to menu" icon in the lower right of the screen.
* Observe the "Welcome to the Ubuntu tour!" window appears and all text is NOT readable.

[Regression Potential]
* None identified.

Title: Ubuntu Tour menu becomes unreadable when interrupting a tutorial

Summary: When Ubuntu Tour is running a tutorial, if while in the middle of the tutorial you click on the menu icon in the lower right of the screen, the menu reappears but all the words are blurred to the point where they are unreadable.

Steps:
1) Build the OS in English
2) Log into the desktop
3) Click on Dash home and type [Ubuntu]
4) Click on the "Ubuntu Tour" icon
5) Select a tutorial (like "How to play video")
6) Click on the first couple of prompts.
7) Click on the "Back to menu" icon in the lower right of the screen.

Expected results: The "Welcome to the Ubuntu tour!" window appears and all text is readable.

Actual results: The "Welcome to the Ubuntu tour!" window appears and all text is NOT readable.

Any progress of this bug? We are getting bug reports from our OEM partners and a fix is much needed.

[Anthony Dillon (ya-bo-ng)]

Very sorry this slipped the net. Picking this up

[Anthony Dillon (ya-bo-ng)]

Updated the extended-tour branch with a fix.

Thank you,
Ant.

[Christopher Townsend (townsend)]

Are there any plans to upload an updated version of ubuntu-online-tour for Precise? This fix is necessary for many projects and an update in the archive would be the best way to get this.

I just tested the following package from Timo's PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/prerelease

..with this new package, I'm no longer able to reproduce the unreadable / blurred-out text issue that I saw with the previous release.

[Anthony Dillon (ya-bo-ng)]

Great, that sounds like a bug squashed.

[Christopher Townsend (townsend)]

For anyone willing to sponsor an upload, the branch we are interested in is lp:~timo-jyrinki/ubuntu-online-tour/fix_1019025.

Thanks!

Timo, thanks for getting this fix ready for quantal. It pains me to say this, but I have to reject the upload to quantal-proposed. Please do not include unrelated changes without SRU justification. Specifically:

debian/patches/remove_redundant_desktopfile_option.patch

Either document this change with a bug report (including the appropriate SRU documentation) or remove it from the upload.

Please reference https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for more information.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

(reuploaded with the patch, it would be good if you could review it again soon, that's an OEM priority bug and avoiding a new 3 weeks delay would be better)

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Hello Christopher, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-online-tour into quantal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-online-tour/0.11-0ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

[Shih-Yuan Lee (fourdollars)]

I have checked ubuntu-online-tour=0.11-0ubuntu1.1 and it works fine.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

[Steve Magoun (smagoun)]

oem-priority status is still 'in progress' because the fix is not released for the target OS (precise). I've adjusted the bug status accordingly.

[James M. Leddy (jm-leddy)]

The request for precise should be followed in bug 1095819

[James M. Leddy (jm-leddy)]

Closing since bug 1095819 is fixed
