A little care on new commits?
Just that I haven't had an usable desktop for weeks on this latest beta. While I generally agree that some things might break, to have a constant broken state of everything does not help much.

Re: A little care on new commits?
Realize that you're talking about a BETA, this comes with the territory of trying new things. Beta's are for people to contribute useful information not complain. If you want some nearly bug free then please revert back to a stable version On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 12:34 PM, Alexandre Strube su...@surak.eti.brwrote: Just that I haven't had an usable desktop for weeks on this latest beta.

Ubuntu 11.10 is not in beta; it's in alpha and it's a big difference. That means that if you need your computer to not be broken, please stick with the stable, tested releases. If you insist on running the development versions, then you should understand that you don't have to accept upgrades that offer to break your computer. There are always transitions that leave the archive in a partially inconsistent state. Please read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751299 for some more info on how to deal with that. I recommend you reinstall Ubuntu 11.04 and wait until Beta 1 or even better Beta 2 before upgrading.

Re: A little care on new commits?
Oh I have been doing bug reports when I can. At least 12 from july until today. Problem is, for instance, the one shared more actively on forums than on launchpad, where lightdm just breaks after receiving login credentials, staying with the X server's null cursor right over the VTs. I cannot send the usual apport reports simply because the login process won't allow me to get to it. And by the sheer number of people talking about some of these, they are neither rare and uncommon nor solved quickly. And if it is a bug that happens in several cases - that means the developer just threw an update for the sake of it with little testing. The developer would receive more useful feedback on the real issues if he/she had been more cautious to begin with. That is what I mean with more careful commits. Please, I am not just ranting OMG MY UBUNTU IS BROKEN - Far from it. I am a developer too and understand the issues. 2011/8/9 Dan Chen seven.st...@gmail.com On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 12:34, Alexandre Strube su...@surak.eti.br wrote: Just that I haven't had an usable desktop for weeks on this latest beta.

Since you attest to being a developer, you likely have a good idea that in the realm of plumbing, particularly drivers, regressions are not immediately obvious. We all can test, test and test, but at some point we each run out of test hardware.

I also encouter that problem on Oneiric. I would like to join you bug also affects me, what number is it? I cannot send the usual apport reports simply because the login process won't allow me to get to it.
