Installer shouldn't be able to install grub on ntfs partitions
I always use the advanced options in the installer to install grub to the root partition of the distro I'm installing. Since I'm dual booting with windows, I then use grub4dos to boot into linux. This gives me a quick and easy method to restore the ability to boot linux after a Windows re-install since all that is required to set up grub4dos is to copy a file (grldr) to the Windows boot partition and edit Windows startup menus to launch that file. Today I did an installation that had a weird partition table. The entries were: /dev/sda1 * 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 1276 7476 49809532+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 1276 6024 38146311 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda6 6025 7269 1431 83 Linux /dev/sda7 7270 7476 1662696 82 Linux swap / Solaris Notice, no sda3 or sda4. When I chose the advanced options during install, I was given the option of installing grub to sda, sda1 (Microsoft Windows XP Professional), sda5 or sda6. Since I was expecting the Linux partition to be sda4, I got confused and thought that sda6 must be the swap partition (dumb me) so I installed grub to sda5. This has made my NTFS partition inaccessible with no easy way to correct this mistake. The installer is smart enough to know that grub can't be installed to swap space so, the swap partition is not offered as an option for installing grub. From today's experience NTFS partitions are not suitable for installing grub so they should not be offered as options either. IMHO Ubuntu's installer does a fine job of saving users from themselves and this little extra check would take that protection one step further. _ Keep your friends updated—even when you’re not signed in. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/social-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_5:092010 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

In the case of kernel bugs, I think that would improve the chances of a fix being found and included in time for release. Still, the biggest obstacle here is not having a known patch to fix this bug - as you can see from the handling of this particular bug, the Ubuntu kernel developers don't have the resources to track down all such upstream fixes themselves, so the best way to help get a bug like this fixed is if you can help identify the upstream commit that fixes the bug. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

google-gadgets-* outdated
The current version of google-gadgets in the karmic repo is severely outdated and has severe issues. Will not load on many systems. Google Gadgets forum suggests that the version in the repository be updated to the latest available. I have not been able to compile google gadgets from source on my own for some reason, despite having all the required packages. It would be great if the version in the Karmic repository was up to date before 9.10 goes stable. Thank you very much for your time!

Priority is given to bugs that are regressions relative to previous releases, bugs that severely impact the usability of the system (such as data loss bugs and random crashes), and bugs that prevent delivery of key new features for the cycle as determined at the preceding Ubuntu Developer Summit. Bug #203819 is not a candidate for being treated as release critical for several reasons: - it is not a regression compared with preceding releases; the bug is reported to affect all releases since 8.04 LTS - the kernel in particular must be frozen some time in advance of the release, in order to settle other components that build on it; there is no more room in the schedule for further kernel uploads before now and release (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelFreeze) - knowing that a newer upstream kernel fixes this only gets us partway to a fix for the current Ubuntu release, someone still needs to identify the change (or changes) that fixed the bug and backport them to the kernel we're using. Even if it were possible to upload the kernel right up until the last day before release, this is unlikely to get done in time. Sorry, it's not possible to fix all bugs in a release, including those that prevent users from being able to use some of their hardware with Ubuntu. I encourage you to stick with this bug and make sure it gets fixed and stays fixed in the next release. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
