AlanBellanyone tried an orca install of Oneiric beta1 yet?20:48
charlie-tcanope20:50
charlie-tcaTracker shows it has not been done20:50
AlanBellBug #180561 is now officially pissing me off21:06
ubot2`Launchpad bug 180561 in gfxboot-theme-ubuntu "The liveCD should beep when the boot prompt shows out" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18056121:06
AlanBellgiven up on the install for the moment, it seems that gfxboot was written for suse and in the opensuse bootloader you can play a wav file (fsfsong.wav) and a .mod file which plays happy birthday22:17
AlanBelljust burning that to a disc now, so I can prove that the bootloader can make a sound then I will try and hack the gfxboot-ubuntu-theme to make a noise22:18
AlanBellyes, it works22:27
AlanBellgfxboot can make a noise, because it does on opensuse22:27
charlie-tcaI think we discussed that at UDS. The decision to not have sounds play for everyone was made a long time ago22:28
AlanBellmeh22:31
AlanBelllets see what happens with a patch22:31
charlie-tcaI think it goes with the decision that removing anything the able bodied user doesn't need from the menus is called "de-cluttering"22:32
AlanBelland that one has been fixed22:32
AlanBelland is past UI freeze22:32
charlie-tcaWell, we still have 6 weeks for them to kill things in the menu22:33
charlie-tcaBut I did get onboard in the release notes as a good thing to have in Xubuntu Menus!22:33
AlanBellnice :)22:33
valorieI thought Mark was on board with the push for accessability?23:41
valorieI mean, I was there for his UDS keynote23:41
valorie"de-cluttering" is great, but not at the expense of a11y23:42
charlie-tcaYeah, we hear the speeches every release23:47
Pendulumwell, have they mentioned a11y other than the once?23:47
charlie-tcaThe de-cluttering was a few releases back23:47
charlie-tcaand there have been bugs for at least three releases to get Onboard back in the menu23:48
Pendulumthey didn't mention it in opening stuff for Maverick (back when Unity was first announced at all and when it was just going to be netbooks)23:48
