Binary package hint: gfxboot-theme-ubuntu

When boot from the installation CD, in the first page with boot option menu, there show the time left for the user. The time decrease from “30s” to “0s”. But the refresh is not quick enough, so that part of the characters does not show clearly.

Thank you for reporting. Setting priority Low.

I've unsubscribed the QA team, because the bugmails seem to be sent to every member of the QA team, including the indirect members (all the MOTUs, for example), and that's probably not what we want.

Would you mind retesting this with Tribe 4? We upgraded to a new upstream version of gfxboot, and I'd like to confirm that the bug is still present there before investigating further.

[Xiaoyang Yu (xiaoyang-yu)]

This bug is fixed in Tribe 4. Now it looks great!

This bug report is being closed due to your last comment regarding this being fixed with an update.

[Xiaoyang Yu (xiaoyang-yu)]

Sorry. Since I thought this bug is platform independent, so I tested it on another platform and reported it was fixed. I tested it on Santa Rosa and found it is still not fixed. Please reopen it. Thanks!

I re-tested it on Lenovo T61 using the 25 Sep daily build i386 desktop version, and this bug did not occour.

thanks for re-testing Xiaoyang, can you please mark the bug as closed?
