I have the problem exactly as described in this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1121951, on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Is that definitely the same as this bug? If so, I'm happy to test kernel versions, if someone shows me how. -- You received this bug notification because

Once again, I think it makes sense, for the sake of clarity, to keep these point separated into priorities in operating system design and priorities in business strategy, as they're obviosly completely separate, and the point jawahar was trying to make was about the operating system design. So:

Yes it is a gem. And you could then integrate it into the Ubuntu operating system. Like when a program has an error, because of failed dependencies or anything, there could be a link to say click here for live support via ubuntu.com or something. So, how do we get people actually working on this?

Surely that shouldn't be too hard? Don't we have some sort of Ubuntu support IRC channel? You must be able to write an IRC application for a website so that you can chat in the IRC chat room via the website... or something? That would be good for support. 2008/7/16 jawahar [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I

Jawahar is absolutely right. Although this is by no means Ubuntu's only problem. @Amir - he's talking about priorities in the design of their operating system, not business strategies. The cynical people only use windows because they are forced to view is really starting to bug me. Very few

@Vadim Peretokin You mean get companies to write proprietary software for Linux? (Like how ID software made Quake for Linux). That's going to be controversial... More below: @ Simon Lugi Don't be put off by Allen. He's obviously just got offended by something you said. Maybe cos you called him a

I don't think education is particularly the issue. Windows is no more ubiquitous in schools and universities than it is in every other area. In my first IT class I was taught on an Acorn, but before that I had learned to use Windows because that is what my dad had on all our computers. Then I

@ Rooker: Okay, point taken. If people we educated in the first place to use Linux (e.g. Ubuntu ;)) then a whole new generation of people would be more open-minded. It is a good point. However, I still feel like most people teach themselves the important computer skills. They main learn to use

The most obvious advantage of open source software is that we can make use of all sorts of community networks and products and build on them for free. Without having to jump through any proprietary hoops. We can build on open standards and the experience of millions, which is all open and freely

I agree that Microsoft does have an unfair advantage in this sense, but anyone who is at all tech-savvy can uninstall windows and replace it with whatever they like. You make the assumption that given the choice, people would choose Linux and probably Ubuntu 9 times out of 10. I don't think this
