  Hi guys,
  I would like to know, if there is a possibility to know how
 many
  downloads a certain LanguagePack has, in order to have an
 approximate
  number of users that running Ubuntu in that language (and in
 that
  distro version).

 Hi Oier,
 
 I think that's what you're looking for:
 
 http://people.canonical.com/~dpm/langpacks-by-inst.html
 
 Interesting to learn that the count for Telugu is 2534. But I feel
 that not more than 20 people use Telugu as UI, based on my experience
 on linux mailing lists and interaction with users. Does this statistic
 record installation of  a language pack rather than usage?
 

Yes, that's correct, it tracks installations, from the popcon data:

Cheers,
David.

 
 Cheers
 Arjun

I have been following the popcon stats in order to figure out the real
number of Greek installations of Ubuntu.
There should be a multiplier that you apply to the value that popcon
gives you, and you get the total installations for your language.
If you can get a random group of Ubuntu users in your country, you can
check their computers and verify
how many of them have actually enabled to send these popcon stats.
Then you can adjust the value that popcon gives you.

Even if your random group is not random enough (for example, there are
advanced users who tinker every option),
then you can use this ratio to establish the lower bound of Ubuntu
users for a specific language. For example,
if half of your random group uses popcon and installed the langpack,
then AT LEAST the double of your popcon number corresponds
to the minimum of Ubuntu users for the said langpack.

UI freeze exception request for Ubuntu One music store (libubuntuone)

2011-03-31 Thread Joshua Hoover
I wanted to make sure both the translators and docs lists were aware of
a UI change we need to make in the Ubuntu One music store for Natty (via
libubuntuone) to check for MP3 support and allow the user to install the
necessary MP3 codec if they do not have it installed. Without this UI
change, users without the proper MP3 codec already installed will not be
given a clear and easy way to use the Ubuntu One music store in Banshee
or Rhythmbox. We've captured this in bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/libubuntuone/+bug/733327

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Thank you,

Joshua
