[Bug 332945] Re: [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information

2009-04-26 Thread James Dowden
I had thought this was just a bug in the beta version, but I did not
know which package to report it against. Now I've read this and I am
totally outraged by this deliberate regression.

As for Mark Shuttleworth's ludicrous assumption that only coding experts
want the previous default behavior, it shows a distinct need to get out
more. I am not a coder, and I'm not a particular fan of pasting half-
understood unsupported (talk about brazenness!) commands into a
terminal, but I do want a system that works.

This sort of half-baked dogfood belongs in some PPA so that it can be
properly criticized, not in a release. Then we could have had the
discussions about the Settings button on Update Manager not doing what
it says and so on in a proper way.

Instead of devs coming on here and arrogantly marking things as
Invalid and Won't Fix, they should pause for a moment and realize
that they have abused process to create a mess. The correct response
would be to apologize to the users and issue the old version as a
security fix (after all, it delays vital updates!), whilst restarting
the development process after a more community-oriented fashion.

If such an apology is not forthcoming, we should concluded that the devs
concerned's injection of code that sabotages functionality is malicious,
that is to say a virus rather than a bug, and we should seek to have
their write access to the repos withdrawn.

[Bug 157166] Re: [gutsy] Cannot change default file manager from Dolphin

2007-11-01 Thread James Dowden
Simply deleting Dolphin from that list is a work-around that works (for
me). Otherwise, try using apt-get to remove Dolphin itself -- if you're
not actually using it (and quite frankly, I don't see why anyone would,
given the existence of Konqueror and Krusader), it's only eating up
space on your HDD.

[Bug 135050] Re: strigidaemon crashed with SIGSEGV in Strigi::AnalyzerConfiguration::indexType()

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 134049 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134049

I think that reporting this as a duplicate of #134049 is a bug in
itself, seeing as #134049 throws up a 403.

[Bug 137404] Re: [gutsy amd64] knetworkmanager executable missing

2007-09-05 Thread James Dowden
Seconded on i386. I don't quite see what the update which caused this
bug was trying to achieve. Perhaps network-manager-kde should be taken
offline until it has the basic things needed (such as an executable) to
be in a form worth testing.

Oh, and most people will need to insert another line in Christian's
workaround:

sudo iwlist scan
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid networkname
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key your WEP key as a horrendous 26-digit hexadecimal 
number
sudo dhclient wlan0

Getting the same sort of thing in Kubuntu Gutsy, both on log-in and on
waking the computer up from power wasting. The network itself works fine
though...
