CD Error check progress bar goes forward then backwards

[Timothy Smith]

When I boot the Dapper Drake desktop DVD and run the error check on the DVD there is a bug in the progress bar. The progress bar goes about 5 pixels over as the files are checked and then it goes back to the start. This repeats over and over again.

[c0d3h4x0r (c0d3h4x0r)]

I observed similar behavior using Ubuntu 6.10 AMD64 DVD ISO. During the DVD error check, there are several graphical problems:

 1. The progress bars starts by doing a "Cylon Eye" scan (sweeps right, then back left) before it starts actually progressing to the right during the error check. I don't know if this is by-design due to some developer who was just trying to be "cute", or whether it's a code defect, but either way it's unintuitive to the user.

 2. The progress bar contains graphical glitches (noisy/random pixels along the bottom-right edge).

 3. The status text at the bottom of the screen appears in a very dark-grey color that is almost impossible to read; need brighter text.

4. (Not a graphical problem, and this may belong in a separate bug): The user can press CTL-ALT-F1 through CTL-ALT-F12 and switch virtual terminals while the error check is happening. Once that is done, I found no way to successfully switch back to the graphic screen (with the progress bar) that was initially presented. This is a horrible and unexpected user experience, especially for users with no prior Linux experience.

I will come back and attach some digital camera shots of what I'm talking about.

Hi. Do you know if this happens in Feisty as well?

[c0d3h4x0r (c0d3h4x0r)]

Sorry, I'm so out of the Ubuntu / Linux loop right now, I don't even know what "Feisty" is.

c0d3h4x0r's 1. and 2. also happen in feisty.

Can somebody check if this behaviour persists in Hardy Beta?

The CD error checking process no longer uses a progress bar and subsequently does not suffer from this bug so I am setting the bug report to Won't Fix.
