software updates

2007-02-06 Thread Vikram

Hi All,
  I think the software update feature in ubuntu desktop os can be bit
more userfriendly.
So, I suggest the following enhancment

- The updates list should be categorized more clear like security,
application updates,
severity etc.  When i run the software update wizard
for the first time i list more than 100 updates and by default all of
them are checked.
I am finding it difficult and time consuming to un-select the updates one by
one. So, I think listing updates by category will help to sort out
this problem.


I am new to ubuntu. I would like to take part in its activities.
If you already discussed about this topic please make me know.

Request to include in Main: migration-assistant

2007-02-06 Thread Evan Dandrea
migration-assistant is an application that imports documents and
settings from other operating systems.  It will be used in Ubuntu as
part of Ubiquity and debian-installer to import from dual-boot systems
during the install process.  It needs to be uploaded to main so that
the supporting Ubiquity code can be merged.

I am the upstream developer.

The report can be found here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportMigrationAssistant

The specification can be found here:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/migration-assistance

I didn't know about kqemu being GPL'd. And having that module already in
would be so great! I wonder whether we should report this as a bug or as
a spec for better traceability & quicker implementation...

sorry for this off-topic: do you have any links to kqemu being GPL? I'd
like to read the announcement and think about ditching vmware for good.

thanks :)

May I suggest we add the kqemu module to our Feisty kernel?
I know it's late, but it would be a great thing to have...
