Re: Inclusion of a mobile management tool
I definitely agree with Martin, I just switched phone. Before I used wammu, and I've found it really good, especially when my phone started to really break down, and it was hard to write even a simple SMS, as in Wammu you can write it, BUT Wammu exports and imports only his own formats, and even though you can convert its backup to vcal/vcard it's really hard to find this info, and my new phone isn't supported by wammu. I have the feeling that opensync and its better integration is the right approach, unfortunately I have found opensyc to be very unreliable for the moment, or at least the plugins I wanted to use (like Gcal and SynCe for example). On the other hand it would be really nice to have proper mobil tools to synchronize (and backup) calendar, mail and contacts.

Apart from that if need be (not exactly too common), back up text messages. But beyond that Wammu provides capabilities to manage mobile's calendar, To Do, etc, etc which can come handy at times. Then it's an app for accessing the data stored on a phone? Yes this should be integrated further into other systems. A library for example like libgpod so that any program could access the data. Then things like opensync could take care of the job without any specific programs for mobile phones. (which mobile phones? the iphone? the ROM blackberries? Nokia symbian phones?)

Re: Bug and discussion about ubuntu menu
Hi! I think it's weird in itself that the configuration menu is as important as the applications or places menus are. In a well running system the user is basically never exposed to any settings, so (although this should be discussed with GNOME) I would rather opt for hiding the whole System menu somewhere. But even if it's there, I would propose the following renaming: System-Configuration/Preferences Preferences-Your Preferences (as I agree with Greg) Administration-System configuration V On 14/03/2008, Greg K Nicholson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 2008-03-14 at 20:45 +0100, Milan Bouchet-Valat wrote: Ouattara Oumar Aziz (alias wattazoum) wrote : I thought about renaming Preferences to My Preferences because User preferences might be a very long label for some language. Good idea - this should not raise any issues and would help much. This is quite like My Yahoo or other services, people will understand that at the first glance. Just propose it to upstream GNOME. If anything, it should be Your Preferences: the computer is speaking to the user, not vice-versa. The help tips for several items in the main menu already use your, including Places → Home Folder, Places → Desktop and – bizarrely – System → Preferences → About Me. -- Greg K Nicholson -- 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 -- 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
Re: Hardy Alpha 6 released
Hi, I was also scared the first time when this chaotic listing of languages popped up in front of me. I realize that this is a feature, but I really felt it overwhelming, and it scared me. Wouldn't it be possible to give it a nicer design in line with the boot screen? (If a non-programmer, non-designer like me can help in it, just tell me what! :) ) Cheers, V On 13/03/2008, Steve Langasek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Martin, On Sat, Mar 08, 2008 at 08:05:56PM -0500, Martin L'Ecuyer wrote: Hello Steve, I'm not sure you are the person who I should report this but since I downloaded the .iso using the link from your e-mail I thought I should report it to someone.

After selecting a Language ( or just pressing enter to select the english default language), the start up menu appears. This is not a bug, but a deliberate design decision. This is done to ensure that the user does not have to navigate any menus in a language they don't understand in order to reach the selection screen where they can pick their own language. After, when it try to open a live session or try to install on disk, it freeze for a wile and then ask for reboot. I assume it might have something to do with my configuration...I'll wait for the official release...It will probably be o.k. I you want more details and think it could help other people ...let me know. I would strongly encourage you to file a bug report about this issue, using https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu. There's really no guarantee that anyone else who's currently testing has encountered this same error, so the best way to get it fixed for the official release is to make sure yourself that it's reported.
