-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's time for another episode of the popular series, "Matthew Fails to Buy Something".
Today's episode stars the Fluendo DVD Player, and the Ubuntu Single Sign-On service. <http://people.canonical.com/~mpt/usc-purchase-2010-09-06.ogv> Seven of the problems I found last time have been fixed: >... > 0:30 A Launchpad Login Service page is shown, instead of an Ubuntu > Single Sign-On page or dialog. > <http://launchpad.net/bugs/615342> > > 0:39 "You have used your Single Sign On ID to access a site which is > *not* recognised by Launchpad Login Service..." >... > 1:50 The "Terms of Service" open in a tiny window that has the title > "software-center". > <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625385> >... > 3:12 An authentication alert appears from aptdaemon, with no > explanation. > <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625409> > > 3:19 Authenticating causes Ubuntu Software Center to jump from the > software item screen to the software listing, making it harder to > see installation progress. > <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625418> > > 3:31 An error appears, "Failed to download repository information" - > "W:Failed to fetch > https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/mvo/private-test/ubuntu/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz > The requested URL returned error: 401". > > 3:49 The item state bar says it is "Installing purchased..." [sic] > when nothing is happening. > <http://launchpad.net/bugs/622750> These are the problems I encountered this time: 0:14 Fluendo DVD Player shows up *last* in the search results for "DVD Player", so unless you already know what you're looking for, you're unlikely to choose it. This might be because ... 0:25 ... The item for purchase has no description, screenshot, version, license, or updates information. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625254> 0:39 The purchase process opens in a separate window. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/618817> 0:39 "Connecting to payment service..." is big and clunky. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/622727> 0:40 The Ubuntu Single Sign On screen refers to "Software Center" instead of "Ubuntu Software Center". <http://launchpad.net/bugs/631567> 0:57 Following any link on the SSO screen takes you to another screen, and it's impossible to get back. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/631573> 1:33 The Ubuntu Single Sign On screen has a missing image next to "Choose your language". 1:53 Choosing a different language results in payment screens that are still in English. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/631592> 1:53 "Quantity" and "Total" are shown, when it's impossible to buy more than one thing at a time. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625261> 1:53 The payment page layout is wonky. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625274> <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625277> 2:50 The terms of service window can now be scrolled and closed, but it is still stuck underneath the payments window. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625398> 2:57 The supposed terms of service are actually a Web page about "www.blah.net Spam Filtering". <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625389> 3:27 If you make an error near the bottom of the payment form, you're returned to the top of the form with no visible explanation. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625405> 3:41 The payment confirmation screen refers to my "country code" rather than my country. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/625415> 3:48 The payment progress is shown in unattractive unstyled unmoving HTML, rather than alongside Ubuntu Software Center's progress bar. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/622732> 3:50 The text says "Launchpad subscription created successfully". 3:56 An authentication alert appears, bewilderingly asking me "To change repository settings". (To be fair, I did write that string, but I wasn't expecting it to show up in this context.) <http://launchpad.net/bugs/631619> 4:08 An "In Progress" item appears briefly, but the software item screen continues saying "Installing purchase..." indefinitely. 4:59 The item is not installed. - -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyE/DkACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecqRUQCgxO5Jhknzy5v5vdqT8+0XKCHz Hd8AmwdHMP4WbmlV+T+WilPKR2Hz63Bv =obi7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~buy-something Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~buy-something More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
