I get the same error in Ubuntu 8.04.1 (64-bit) when trying to view either http://wypte.acislive.com/pda/pda_maps.asp?SysId=30 or http://tsy.acislive.com/pda/pda_maps.asp?SysId=30 which are just two of the online interactive bus route maps in the United Kingdom. It's supposed to display a navigable

2008-07-16 Thread HappySpaceInvader
Just as a side note, Apple's new MobileMe Calendar replaces the .Mac published one, and gives the opportunity to switch on timezone support and set the user's timezone to whatever is appropriate. This works around the issue for that particular system, but the underlying problem with the meeting in

@LimCore To be honest, it's not the bugs in Ubuntu that prevent it from gaining market share, it's the archaic design that requires users to be computer geeks. For example, I want to be able to have Pidgin instant messenger launch at login. Can I select this in the preferences? No. Can I drag

I think I am seeing the same problem and I'm pretty sure I know the cause. When meeting invites are created in Evolution in the timezone "Europe/London", the timezone is always set as "/softwarestudio.org/Tzfile/Europe/London" which is not a valid timezone. It should be just "Europe/London". Fur

I have the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 and the horizontal scroll doesn't work in that either (Hardy Heron, 2.6.24-16). The vertical scroll works and all the mouse buttons (there are 5) work, although there's no facility to change what they do in System->Preferences->Mouse. -- Microsoft W

Public bug reported: Since roaming mode frequently decides to connect me to wireless networks that I do not have permission to access, and my router doesn't show up in the available network list (unless I set it to channel 1, which then puts it in contention with about 12 other wireless routers),
