[Bug 572110] Re: scary message on live cd installing

2010-05-12 Thread Hercules_100_98
It is important that users understand that the installation will do big (and bad if they are not careful) things to their hard drive. The current wording isn't bad, but you're right, maybe it can be improved. What would you recommend it be changed to? -- scary message on live cd installing

[Bug 488078] Re: Archiving tools can open more types of files than associated.

2009-11-30 Thread Hercules_100_98
I share your frustration that not everything can be opened without additional packages. As far as I know what can and can't be opened automatically largely depends on whether or not the compression format is properly licensed (open source vs proprietary). p7zip is great at opening just about

[Bug 483933] Re: recovery from ecryptfs encrypted home folders not usable for beginners

2009-11-24 Thread Hercules_100_98
I understand your issue but the whole point of having the home folder encrypted is that recovering it with something like a live CD isn't exactly easy. Having it any other way would pose a security risk. I do agree that inexperienced users would be totally lost trying to do it, and most will not

2009-08-11 Thread Hercules_100_98
Even if there isn't a major update written to run a check for internet connectivity, at the very least the text could be changed easily to ask the user to check their connection and/or link to Ubuntu's help section for internet connection troubleshooting. -- update-manager doesn't check if

2009-07-29 Thread Hercules_100_98
This suggestion goes well beyond a papercut, but here goes anyway. Pass this to the team handling the Migration tool that runs during the install process. As it stands the migration tool imports users bookmarks, wallpapers, files etc from whatever other OS's it detects. Why not create a script

[Bug 395905] Re: System-About Ubuntu should more directly display version information

2009-07-25 Thread Hercules_100_98
I agree with the poster of this bug. Thanking someone for their interest after they have installed the OS on their machine is a little condescending. Displaying that screen under a Live CD environment is fine as people are mostly still at the evaluation stage and have yet to commit. The only

Agreed, strange design decision, fade is far more suitable and elegant. I made the change almost immediately. Recommend looking into explaining this design decision and re- evaluating. -- Change the animation on window close to fade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402633 You received this bug
