Re: [ubuntu-uk] more issues with 8.10

Sounds like you may have found a bug in Ubuntu. You could report this bug so that in the future it could be fixed for yourself and other Ubuntu uses. It could be a problem with the nautilus file manager so you could file a bug against that. Actually, this bug is already well known by the developers and is documented in the Intrepid Release Notes [1]. I have no idea why the developers decided to go ahead with release with this fairly critical bug (If you cant get a CD out of a drive, you aren't going to stick with an OS for long (this thread is a good example of that).

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Norm's complaint
2008/8/7 Dark Otter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Slightly off topic, but what kind of coding knowledge would someone need to be a worthwhile participant in the bug team? I'm planning to try learning several languages in the future (I only know some basic C# and python at the moment), and so I'm wondering what to concentrate on to be able to contribute. You need hardly any coding experience (some helps when trying to find out what is happening with crashses etc) and you can definately get by with absolutely no programming experience. If you are interested in joining Bugsquad I would recommend reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/GettingInvolved and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage. Also, this Saturday is the global bug jam, so #ubuntu-bugs on freenode will be packed out with experienced triagers. I would recommend trying out some bugs on Saturday, as if you get stuck there is a packed IRC room to help you! Who know, if you enjoy it you can keep going.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Norm's complaint
2008/8/6 norman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OK, I have sounded off but this sort of thing should not be allowed to
happen and I would be grateful if someone, who knows their way around
the Canonical set up, could bring this to the attention of someone who
cares about the future of Ubuntu.
Norman
It would probably be a good idea to bring this to the attention of the core
developers, who are in charge of packages like this. The maintainer of that
package is Martin Pitt ('pitti' on irc.freenode.net), so it would probably
make sense to talk to him about it. Failing that core-dev hang out in
#ubuntu-devel on freenode or they have a mailing list,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], where they should listen to your concerns.
Hope you manage to get this bug fixed!

David Norman mentioned the bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340 which seems to have been triaged, and has 'High' importance, but hasn't been assigned. Shouldn't the bug process do what you're suggesting? (Or may be I haven't understood how the bug process works?) Mac I saw the bug , but noticed it has been set to Incomplete which normally means developers wont touch it with a barge pole until it has been triaged by Bugsquad, so I was encouraging the poster to go and talk to the maintainer to see if he would have a look at it. What I didnt notice is that the last commenter (and the person who set it to Incomplete) is Martin Pitt, the packages maintainer, so we dont need to go and annoy him on IRC :) Unfortunately it looks like its pretty difficult to reproduce, so it might take a while to get fixed.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] ISPs
I've heard good things about Be broadband (https://www.bethere.co.uk/), who do 24meg/1.3meg unlimited broadband for ~£15 per month (provided you have a BT line), which is pretty reasonable. They are also owned by O2, who dont seem to have been involved with the latest privacy invasion measures. If they are in your local exchange it would be worth checking them out. -- David Futcher (bobbo) http://www.bobbo.me.uk http://www.launchpad.net/~bobbo -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Win a free PC!
Great podcast this week. Surprising how few advantages, except from Freedom, you could come up with. You didnt mention the great community out there willing to help you or the massive eyecandy advantage (For most 'normal' users, eyecandy is more important than freedom, stability or pretty much anything else) we have with Compiz etc. Keep up the good work! David 2008/7/16 Alan Pope [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yes, amazing, I know! No, no catch. Well, one teeny one. Listen to Episode 10 of the Ubuntu UK Podcast and you could win a fantastic PC from Efficient PC that we reviewed in Episode 9. Just follow the instructions in the competition segment and you could win a PC. Easy! http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2008/07/16/s01e10-easy-come-easy-go/ Please pass it on!
