[Bug 1383445] [NEW] pg_createcluster should not silently ignore locale failure
Public bug reported: Ubuntu Version: 14.04 PostgreSQL version 9.3.5 The way it is now: 1. pg_createcluster will take a --locale switch, in order to initialize the cluster with default emplate databases using, for example, en_US or LATIN1. 2. if pg_createcluster is unable to initdb with that locale (for example, if it's missing in the environment), it **silently fails** and reports success, creating the cluster instead as SQL_ASCII, which format is deprecated by the PostgreSQL project. 3. At that point, the user can happily go on to load all of their data into a database in the wrong encoding, resulting in likely extensive downtimes later to fix the problem, and possible data corruption. The way it should be: On step 2, pg_createcluster should fail with an error message. This is per the documentation, which says that pg_createcluster will do this. However, it is inconsistent and user-hostile behavior, and should be changed. I do not know at this time whether this undesirable behavior is from the upstream Debian postgresql-common or not. ** Affects: postgresql-common (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1383445 Title: pg_createcluster should not silently ignore locale failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-common/+bug/1383445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1212356] Re: Ubuntu Bug Filing is not user-friendly
Thomas, You've just validated my original assertion when filing this bug: reporting an ubuntu bug is not a task which can be reasonably accomplished without the direct assistance of an Ubuntu/Debian developer, or at least a software engineer. If this was your goal, then congratulations, you're successful. Although it might be nicer to the user just to tell them please don't bother trying to report bugs, so that they don't waste their time. Last I checked, though, the entire purpose of Ubuntu as a distro was to be Linux for everybody. Did that goal change sometime in the last year, when I wasn't looking? (BTW, I'm not claiming some kind of virtue here; the PostgreSQL project is *terrible* about accessibility to new users. But that also means I'm familiar enough with the newbie-hostile syndrome to recognize it when I see it.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212356 Title: Ubuntu Bug Filing is not user-friendly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1212356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1212356] [NEW] Ubuntu is hostile to bugs from regular users
Public bug reported: In the new Launchpad configuration, there is no longer a public link to the report a bug form. Instead, all attempts to report a new bug are redirected to the ReportingABug wiki page, here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs That page spends several screens blathering on about mainline kernel versions and upstream maintainers before getting to any instructions on how to report a bug. These are not things anyone who is not a software engineer is going to understand. Once you get down to the bug instructions, they are several pages long, confusing, and in places flat-out incorrect (for example, ubuntu-bug cannot be started from Dash). Ubuntu-bug itself is a software-developer-only tool, since it has to be started from the command line and requires the user to input an exact package name or process ID, and if you get that information wrong, ubuntu-bug crashes. As a result, only people who are either ubuntu developers, know an ubuntu developer who can help them, or have bookmarked the secret bug form URL, can report bugs. While this does an admirable job of cutting down on the number of bug reports, it does so by making sure that many problems (especially usability problems) with ubuntu are never reported.

[Bug 445032] Re: eBox should be removed from Jaunty-stable
Papukaija, So, Webmin was removed because it was buggy and unmaintained, and replaced with a package with less features which is also buggy and unmaintained? Um Ok. That does not address the cannot remove eBox issues. I am, like many other Ubuntu users, stuck with a system which I will have to either re- install or spend an entire weekend debugging iptables in order to get eBox, which doesn't work, off my system. I've been using various flavors of Linux since 1998, and I've never had from any other distribution an optional package which couldn't be removed without downing my system. For this reason alone, eBox should be moved to unstable-only.

papukaija, Wait, are you saying that it's OK to have packages in stable for software which doesn't work on that version of Ubuntu, and is even listed *by the software producer* as not working? And for that matter, to delete a piece of software which *did* work (Webmin) to replace it with the buggy software?
