[Bug 572110] Re: scary message on live cd installing
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 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 488078] Re: Archiving tools can open more types of files than associated.
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 everything, but if this includes proprietary code then it can't be used as part of a default install. Could possibly be a candidate for the restricted extras package...

[Bug 483933] Re: recovery from ecryptfs encrypted home folders not usable for beginners
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 have bothered to retain a copy of the encryption key. Sounds like some discussion is needed to see if a solution can be found to accomodate everyone -- recovery from ecryptfs encrypted home folders not usable for beginners https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 387382] Re: update-manager doesn't check if Internet Connection is available
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 Internet Connection is available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 54024] Re: WIN key SUPER_L should be mapped to Applications menu
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 that runs as part of the migration tool to make minor adjustments to Ubuntu based on the OS that the user is migrating from. Basically, if Windows is detected, and files are imported, then the windows key should be mapped to the Applications menu. Firefox's address bar should be set to select the entire contents etc. There are many more examples The same goes for Mac users (I'm just not familiar with the setup) This would solve a huge amount of stress for new users and remove an awful lot of but I can do that in Windows bug reports.

[Bug 395905] Re: System-About Ubuntu should more directly display version information
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 reason I ever clicked on About Ubuntu was to check which version I was running after an upgrade. My recommendation is to change to Thank you for using Ubuntu X.XX - {version name} - {release date} But also add in a line stating whether or not the installed version is the latest version, and stating when the support period expires for the installed version. This is the most up to date version of Ubuntu available or There is a newer version of Ubuntu available, click here to learn how to update And Your currently installed version of Ubuntu will be supported until , click here to learn about Ubuntu's release cycles and support periods -- System-About Ubuntu should more directly display version information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395905 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
