ubiquity / oem-config changes for arm devices
Ubiquity can be used on ARM devices either to install (e.g. Panda Boards) or to perform initial user configuration (oem-config mode).
What changes are needed for ubiquity?
* Lower memory footprint ?
* Faster configuration ?
* Design changes in steps ?
* Fullscreen-mode ?
The 12.10 slide decks of ubiquity and oem-config are available here:

Session notes:
* https:/
* upon installing pre-installed machine & after oem config the hostname is changed, we need to restart:
- syslog
- network-manager
- restart starton hostname ( we don't know rdepends )
* no slideshow screen
--- "hacker" mode
--- static GtkBuf picture
What happens if the user selects a language like Chinese?
--- this fully works now on the desktop image
* how to test the device with the oem-config‽
* how to drop metacity from the nexus image? (ubiquity with no window management, or launch ubiquity from the session)
Out of Scope Identified Issues:
* not touch friendly (DUH)
* location widget (oh =( )
Work Items
Work items:
[jamesodhunt] research what services would need to be restarted when the hostname changes (non-trivial, just reboot): DONE
[xnox] implement reboot in the oem-config: TODO
[xnox] if no keyboard is available, ask for onboard (gtk does it for us): DONE
[xnox] no slideshow mode (ux/design no optimal solution found yet): POSTPONED
[xnox] pre-seed the second-stage ("client") oem-config for QA: INPROGRESS
[xnox] allow to run installer in full-screen mode (optionally / hacker option) (ux/design no plan yet): POSTPONED
[ogra] test installer in full-screen mode with the panel (see above): POSTPONED
[xnox] check that wifi is setup before geo-ip lookup in second stage oem-config (wifi is offered): DONE
[xnox] really auto remove rdeps of the oem-config: TODO
[xnox] follow up with design team (new visuals are planned soon): DONE
