[Bug 174277] Re: Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have similar names, leads to confusion.
This bug was fixed in Ubuntu 11.04 with the introduction of the Control Center, later renamed System Settings. All cross-application and out-of- application settings are now accessed from, and in most cases changed inside, the System Settings window. There are no longer awkward separate Preferences and Administration menus. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: Oumar Aziz OUATTARA (wattazoum) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174277 Title: Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have similar names, leads to confusion.

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that an attachment was not flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug and this attachment is one! Subsequently, I've checked the patch flag for it.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project. - The changes required in this bug are too large to be considered a papercut For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

[Bug 174277] Re: Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have similar names, leads to confusion.
The issue of menu organization is almost a "wont-fix because we think it makes sense" kind of issue. I can accept that -- almost. However, something recently dawned on me! Our System menu is organized by implementation, even though the GNOME human interface guidelines (with which I dearly hope Ubuntu intends to abide) clearly say not to do that. It may make sense in its own right, but this is unintuitive as a component of this desktop environment. It should not be the user's concern whether installing a printer is system-wide or specific to his user account. Further, it is impossible to guess such things off hand, so the system is not intuitive. To find "Install a printer" the user needs to hunt through all of System Preferences, then all of System Administration because it is not initially known -- and it should not need to be known ahead of time -- whether the printer is installed for everyone, and further that such an act is unique in some way. Thanks to the new PolicyKit stuff giving us more functional config tools, even that organization by implementation has stopped making being organized. For example, NetworkManager's Network Configuration (in Preferences) can now be applied system wide. In short, I agree with the notion that this menu needs an immediate overhaul, particularly with more configuration reorganization coming in the next GNOME release. Fedora's menu organization is a good example to go by, although I believe even it still has the Preferences / Administration thing. One thing they have done which is of use is moving inspection tools (such as Network Tools and System Monitor) away from the settings, into System Tools. -- Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have similar names, leads to confusion. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174277 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 174277] Re: Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have similar names, leads to confusion.
This bug is not very clear. The fact that we have sometimes two tools to manage settings about the same issue (printing, users...) is known and will be slowly fixed using PolicyKit. This is mainly an upstream problem. But the second part of this bug is IMHO wrong and has to be discussed: > I think that generally, the names of the launchers under "Preferences" should > emphasize the words "Set" and > "Modify" whereas the names of launchers under "Administration" should > emphasize the words "Manage", > "System", "Global", and things like that. This won't be done because making the labels longer in the submenu is bad: it's redundant to repeat for each item "Set", "Modify", and does not really help. And this would require many patches to each package, making us diverge from upstream. Else, the "Preferences" or "Administration" menus should be clear enough so that you know what every child in them is about. Or we can simply use a single menu, but this is a long-term approach. So I guess you should make this bug clearer: there are two very vague issues here, which is not a good idea to get a bug fixed. Anyway this would require discussion, and leaved as-it-is, this bug will never get attention nor work.

[Bug 174277] Re: Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have similar names, leads to confusion.
The proposed changed seem redundant to me (by the way, the set/manage/configure/etc. words are already in the menu entries' comments). IMHO, this will just make it more difficult to find stuff in the menu (more text), would deprecate tons of documentation and doesn't make any sense at all. If there's some confusion in this area then what should be done is better educating the users about it (about changing the categories to "User Preferences" & "System Administration", that doesn't sound bad at all, but in some languages using that will make the menu look awful, as the translations can be long).

[Bug 174277] Re: Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have similar names, leads to confusion.
I think that it would be best to remove "Software Sources" because that application can be easily reached from Synaptic. Most of the people who use "Software Sources" probably already use Synaptic, so it is a bit redundant. But if "Software Sources" has to stay, I would agree that a submenu would be the way to go. After all, there is an "Accessibility" submenu even though there are only two launchers of that type. It seems that having 3 or more similar items would certainly warrant a submenu. -- Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have similar names, leads to confusion. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174277 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

Just an idea that I had. Please tell me if it's valid and worth the effort : Currently we have 3 entries (by default) in the System > Administration menu for "Software management" (Synaptic, Update Manager, Software source) . I suppose others would have also "Adept" there. So maybe a submenu is needed for software.

Hello, This problem is indeed a naming issue but it's also due to a lack of communication. Even if we rename the menu entries, there will be some users not knowing (guessing?) where to go to do things. After some explanation one thinks it's logic to have those 2 entries, but if there is no help, documentation, screencasts, there is chances that one doesn't understand it. This is another problem though . Concerning this bug, I propose doing as the initial logger suggested and also rename : - System -> Preferences ==> System -> User Preferences - System -> Administration ==> System -> System Administration Problem is this bug need to be solved by patching every packages that has entries in those menus (unless there is another way to do it).

Hi, I have subscribed Desktop Team and Desktop bugs team to this bug . The resolution process will be, for each item in System Preference and System Administration, to define the new Name to use. 1 solution would be to change the name of the application that reside there. Easiest way but difficultly maintainable as every developer that intends it's application to have an item in thos menu will have to take care of following the naming convention.
