Hi! I'm fiddling with the middle slides in a branch here, where this
issue (among others) gets fixed, and some other stuff moves around on
the way:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/middle-tweaks

Still some work to do and feedback to collect before something gets
merged, but the sooner the better. I stuck a preview on the web, so it's
nice and easy:
http://www3.telus.net/northlight/dylan/ubiquity-slideshow-proposed/#controls

(Note that the Firefox slide in the preview lacks an icon because it
reads that from your local file system, which is blocked by most
browsers).

I would love to know what you think :)


Thanks!
Dylan McCall

Thank you for the reply. I filed the bug under the subject "Wrong
Firefox version is displayed during installation, in Launchpad".

The package you should file the bug against is "ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu"

Thanks!

Here is the relevant screenshot of the installation.


"Firefox 3" is mentioned, instead of the correct "Firefox 3.5" or plain
"Firefox".

Bug in Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 Beta: Wrong Firefox version is displayed during install

2009-10-04 Thread Ioannis Vranos
OS: Ubuntu 9.10 Beta x64.


I couldn't file the following bug in Launchpad (could not find an option for 
this).


Bug description: During a clean install of Ubuntu Desktop Edition 9.10
Beta, "Firefox 3" is mentioned, while the installed version is 3.5.


I think the text should be changed to "Firefox 3.5" or to plain
"Firefox".

Append this to the report-bug URL:

 ?no-redirect

It isn't completely enforced though. There is a link on the wiki page
that you are redirected to, which you can use to avoid the redirection
and submit a bug normally through the web interface.

Incidentally, I'm not seeing the redirect anymore.

This new "report bugs using ubuntu-bug" requirement is a mess!

2009-10-04 Thread Dylan McCall
Okay, here is a quick, true story :)

I wanted to file a bug report on ubuntu-wallpapers, because it is
missing some images in its gnome-background-properties file. I had to
use ubuntu-bug to get to a bug filing form. After wasting time
collecting "problem information" - which is useless in this case - and
using valuable resources uploading it to Launchpad, I punched in the
summary to learn that this bug was already filed. Interestingly, since
we are now strongly discouraging users from using the awesome web
interface for Ubuntu related bugs, there's an extra, jarring step where
before I could do it all on one swoop. (Now, consider crashers with
ginormous dumps...).

Okay, next step!

I fixed it, made a deb package to test my fix, and then noticed another
bug to report. I used ubuntu-bug again, knowing that the issue exists
with Ubuntu's version of the package...

The problem cannot be reported:

This is not a genuine Ubuntu package

Now that really just annoyed me. So, I must remove my simple amendment
and reinstall the package simply to report a trivial bug!

Granted, it makes sense in some cases, but I have a feeling this new
method will seriously cripple the flow of minor bugs (eg: papercuts) by
making them too much of a pain to file.

Perhaps ubuntu-bug should just be strongly encouraged instead of
completely enforced.
