| Jonta | I have a suggestion for Ubiquity | 10:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Jonta | Though I am quite impressed by the one found in UNE 10.04, I can see a small, and probably simple chance for improving it | 10:13 |
| Jonta | When choosing keyboard-layout, there are three options. | 10:14 |
| Jonta | I was quite intrigued by the "Guess"-option | 10:14 |
| Jonta | It asks to press any of a handful of characters | 10:14 |
| Jonta | When pressing, say "+", I am asked if the character "æ" is on my keyboard | 10:15 |
| Jonta | Here, Ubiquity expects the user to say yes or no | 10:15 |
| Jonta | My suggestion is to let the user just press this key | 10:16 |
| Jonta | Because as it is now, one first has to say "yes", and then answer "no" to the question "Is this key (ä) on your keyboard?", and then press "æ" | 10:17 |
| cjwatson | Jonta: sounds like a useful suggestion to me - could you file a bug about that? perhaps on the cdebconf-keystep package in Ubuntu, although ev might pop up and say it should be somewhere else | 11:19 |
| Jonta | cjwatson: Hm, directions on that? Never done this before.. | 11:20 |
| Jonta | Launchpad? | 11:21 |
| ev | cdebconf-keystep is a good place to start. It will have to be rewritten for ubiquity as the two components only share the decision tree used by both. | 11:21 |
| ev | Jonta: http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdebconf-keystep/+filebug | 11:21 |
| Jonta | Thanks | 11:21 |
| Jonta | What short description to give though.. | 11:22 |
| cjwatson | up to you | 11:23 |
| cjwatson | I'm sure we'll work it out | 11:23 |
| Jonta | Found one. Reporting... | 11:25 |
| ev | wow, screw kvm-autotest. Sikuli is made of some serious awesome. | 11:43 |
| ev | not being tied to KVM, it means we can do graphical testing across both KVM and real hardware without any changes. | 11:44 |
| soren | Not really. | 11:44 |
| ev | no? | 11:45 |
| soren | Unless something changed, of course. | 11:45 |
| soren | How would you hook up Sikuli to the installer? | 11:45 |
| ev | I'd do lots of black magic in an early_command | 11:45 |
| soren | Yeah, but Sikuli doesn't know how to look at a virtual framebuffer, as I understand it. | 11:46 |
| soren | It takes screenshots from an X server. | 11:46 |
| ev | this would be running it from within the kvm instance | 11:46 |
| soren | Ah, so you'd use Sikuli to interact with the SDL window from kvm? | 11:47 |
| ev | ahh, I think I see your point. We can't use it for server tests. kvm-autotest is still the best option for that. | 11:49 |
| soren | Maybe. I hadn't thought of using Sikuli to talk to kvm's SDL window. It'd be an interesting experiment. | 11:51 |
| soren | ..but for testing gui stuff, Sikuli is very likely the best bet. | 11:51 |
| ev | Don't get me wrong, I still see lots of value in kvm-autotest :) | 11:52 |
| soren | Yeah, it's quite nice if you have time to hold its hand. Some sort of computer vision magic like Sikuli would certainly make it less painful to maintain. | 11:53 |
| * soren adds that experiment to his TODO list | 11:54 | |
