Possible UI freeze exception for usb-creator

2009-09-18 Thread Evan Dandrea
>From https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/432542:
* Adds PolicyKit support. The gksu password dialog is no longer shown.
No passwords are required to use usb-creator in the default PolicyKit
configuration.
* Moves logging to ~/.usbcreator.log from /tmp/usb-creator.log.
* Icons are shown next to the drives once again now that usb-creator uses gio.
* Non-size columns in both tree views will expand to fill available
space, but the size columns will stay fixed (but resizeable).
* Adds a retry dialog (that has existed in the Windows frontend for
quite some time) so that the user can attempt to continue when the
md5sums of written files do not match their source.

These changes are all necessary. There were a number of odd UI issues
when usb-creator was run as root. The lack of icons and the poorly
spaced columns were a regression from 9.04, and the missing retry
dialog meant that often needed functionality, while present, could not
be used (outside of Windows).

I have, more than once, had the exact oposite experience, where the
fact the codenames are so readily used in support have made users
confused about exactly what jaunty is and so on

I disagree. People are used to thinking about different iterations of
software in terms of version numbers. We really should not deviate
from that practice. Besides, you really only need to mention it once
to each user how the versionnumbers works and then they get it.

Codenames for versions

2009-09-18 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)

There are many places where the codename of a release is used in Answers 
Section and in the Community Documentation and even (i think) in the official 
guides.  Many noobs get all "confused about the numbers after the decimal".  
Also there seems to be some cnfusion about whether this 9.10 release is Kosmic 
or Karmic, although that might just be people having fun with it.  

I think it is worh avoiding using anything that restricts a translation down to 
a single release but in some cases it is, of course, vital.  

Just my opinion but the codenames seem to be more user-friendly to a high 
percentage of people/noobs.  

Many regards to you all from 
Tom :)

It was my general understanding that the development codenames, i.e.
"Karmic Koala" or whatever, were in fact only development codenames
and that they should therefor not be used in any sense as soon as the
distribution is released. At that time the distribution _becomes_
"Ubuntu 9.10" and that is the name that should be used.
