[ubuntu-x] Apport warning is badly worded when reporting X bugs.
Hei All, At the request of RAOF in the #ubuntu-x channel, Im sending this mail to talk about the wording of the popup warning when reporting a bug against an x package. The conversation as far as I have it went: [15:38:09] Bryce added that to the apport hook for natty post-release; a lot of the bugs that we get post-release for X *are* support requests, and so aren't well-handled on launchpad. [15:38:20] a non-question with a question mark and yes/no answers? [15:38:42] One of our more technical users was a bit put off by it, but was cool with it once I explained. [15:38:58] In fact, there he is now. [15:39:02] -*- ScottK waves to jussi. [15:39:11] heya ScottK [15:39:18] jcristau: Hm. Now that I *read* it more thoroughly, it could do with a bit of a reword :) [15:39:38] I've started using 'convert to a question' more, but you're right, that doesn't really solve the problem. [15:40:54] It went through a couple of revisions; at first it pointed more directly at askubuntu.com, and that resulted in a lot of poor quality questions there :/ [15:41:11] That sounds like progress at least. [15:41:32] Poor quality questions in the place for questions beats poor quality questions on the bug tracker. [15:44:48] I think it may be useful to reword the second option to include something like "Im sure its a bug" or something, rather than the only options being that it started after an update or I talked to people already. It doesnt leave much room for "I understand what Im doing, I want to report the bug" [15:45:16] The problem is everyone thinks they know what they are doing. [15:45:37] Heh. [15:46:46] Hrm [15:47:05] I think it could do with a re-wording, and we'll likely do the same thing once 11.10 ships. Would you consider sending a mail to ubuntu-x? [15:47:45] RAOF: of course I can do that - ubuntu-x@l.u.c? [15:48:00] Yup. I think that pretty much sums up what I am thinking, you can see a screenshot of the dialog here: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/06/06/plasma-desktopcs1575.jpg Thanks for looking at this.

[ubuntu-x] Intel SNA tested by anyone?
Hi, Has someone tested the Snazzy/SandyBridge New Acceleration [1] yet? [1] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTUyOQ Since it was merged to -intel master 47 hours ago, it seems xorg-edgers's bdb396a4 build should have it. So just asking if anyone was brave enough to test it yet :) -Timo -- Ubuntu-x mailing list Ubuntu-x@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x
