[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1725384] Re: On touch screens, the apps icon in the dock does not open when touched
Jeebus tap-dancing cripes, this bug breaks the cripesing apps button for cripes sake! It's a complete dealbreaker for the entire OS, as in you can't open applications on touchscreens! At all! Stop jerking users around. If you're not serious about desktop anymore (which is cool, we totally understand) just drop out of the desktop business altogether and stop pretending. Focus on servers and IoT and point desktop users to Mint. Jeebus! This bug's level of absurdity defies criticism. I can't even be mad, so much as outraged to the point of non-stop laughter for hours. GNOME might as well have shipped nothing, then goes on playing dumb just to gaslight troll the FOSS community. I can't believe canonical and Ubuntu are willing to put their name on this steaming pile of Robotcop toxic waste. Sweet cripes on a pogo stick, OH the humanity! WOWLOL! Let's get real here: GNOME shipped a touchscreen UI where you can't touchclick the APPS BUTTON. Knock, knock, anybody home!?!? Are there no tablets on the Isle of Man? 18.04 "LTS"!!! Well, it had better be LTS if we're all stuck on this slowmotion unnecessary crazy train to nowhere! You fellas should've just slapped Unity on there for another 5 year marathon. I'd have run with you; we all would've.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1059872] Re: Error formatting disk using disk utility
Yep, as reported by others, upgrading to util-linux 2.25.2-4 in Ivan's ppa fixed the issue in 14.04.4 splendidly. Therefore, since as of 3 days ago 16.04 was giving me the same trouble, and Launchpad is showing util- linux 2.26.2 as default in 16.04, there must be a regression reintroducing this terrible bug in the newer util-linux, or there was something else wrong with the daily build of 4/16 that caused a similar symptomatic manifestation. As for 15.10, I'm seeing util-linux 2.25.2-4 as default, yet I encountered the same problem, and, in fact, had to fix my USB drive on my ancient Windows laptop before I could use it to downgrade to 14.04.4.

"If it bothers you that much, run 15.10 or 16.04." I tried both, Phillip, but the bug is still present. I couldn't conceive of such a basic malfunction affecting the previous LTS, so I switched back to 14.04, only to be shocked and horrified to discover that the bug has been around this long. Imagine, a fundamental function broken for years is still tolerated in the NEXT LTS release. I don't know how to describe that level of lethargy. (This makes at least two default apps in the current release of Ubuntu that manifest total failure to function, since Transmission just deletes torrents as soon as the downloads complete, probably due to some complex permissions clusterfrell casual users shouldn't be expected to understand or rectify.) Anyone, I'll be trying out upgrading util-linux from Ivan's ppa to see if that works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059872 Title: Error formatting disk using disk utility Status in DarGUI: New Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in util-linux source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in util-linux package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Formatting a SD card using the disk utility fails with an error message "Error formatting disk - Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)" The underlying problem is that the "wipefs" tool from util-linux does not work any more.
