ubiquity doesn't have startup notification

[John McCabe-Dansted]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Most applications set the mouse pointer to be a little spinning wheel when starting up. Ubiquity doesn't seem to do this, and takes a while to start up. This means that I instinctively keep clicking on the install icon since it doesn't seem to have done anything.

This is actually very trivial to fix, patch attached.

Артём: I tried this and (at least with the GTK frontend) it didn't seem to send a notification that startup was complete, so the cursor got stuck in spinning-wheel mode.

[Loïc Minier (lool)]

Артём: that just tells the launcher that the app supports startup notification and will cuase the spinning wheel to spin until the app says it's ready; the second part isn't covered by your patch

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Artem Popov (artfwo)]

Confirming again, this has not been fixed yet.

This release of Ubuntu is no longer receiving maintenance updates. If this is still an issue on a maintained version of Ubuntu please let us know.
