1) I have terrible problems elsewhere preventing me to help Ubuntu for the time being 2) I consider offensive to mark this bug as "Invalid" after the work time I have spent on it and after having seen no followups except mine 3) I consider offensive to suggest to return it to "New" after I have provided all asked details. It's fully confirmed. 4) I wonder why my having no time can govern the outcome of a bug anyone can experiment; BTW, I have Confirmed it on a plain up to dated Ubuntu 8.04.1 on another hardware 5) I'm using 8.04 and I obviously cannot install Wine using a Live CD. Does no one using 8.10 really have a few minutes to make that test instead of asking me to find hardware to install 8.10? 6) I wonder what's the importance of Wine if nobody else complains of a real problem. I consider Wine as the "Portal to Linux". If other people were packaging Windows programs to DEBs with a frontend script like I do, it would shut the mouth of those saying that Linux lacks this or that program (principally games) and Ubuntu would be much different with Wine programs distributed and installed the same way as Linux programs. 7) Again, I question the methods used by Ubuntu to solve a bug. What's the use of reporting if no developer comes to the reporter (when anyone cannot experiment it) to ask for details? What's the use to watch every next release in mere hope of a fix? 8) This bug exists in 8.04 and, according to what LTS means, a user should know what updates to apply to a no-Internet-access installation to solve it, not know that the problem is fixed in another release. 9) I wonder if I must continue to help, use and promote Ubuntu if the result is frustration
Wine is such a important piece it deserves more attention. -- Gnome wine runs all programs without window's minimize button https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202456 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
