Re: Thoughts for assisting those with limited bandwidth

Isn't Fedora working on something like this right now?? Only downloading the pieces that were updated? If yes, It would help to look at what they are doing. Markus Hitter wrote: > Am 31.01.2009 um 15:09 schrieb Davyd McColl: > >> I don't appreciate a 78mb download every other day because one >>

YES, we should disable OS updates by default for "n00bs" just because a paranoid user made a comment. Very intelligent. Manish Sinha wrote: > nergar wrote: >> If such a thing is implemented, it should be checked by default and >> hidden in the Advanced settings di

Re: You lost a new Ubuntu user

If such a thing is implemented, it should be checked by default and hidden in the Advanced settings dialog. Unexperienced users should get security updates by default. Chris wrote: > I agree that a checkbox should be implemented. > Think it'll be ready in Jaunty? =P > -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss

Re: You lost a new Ubuntu user

This is getting out of proportion. Ubuntu should NOT ask if it is ok to get updates. We are trying to run a "Linux for human beings" distro and if we start taking steps in this direction, we might as well ask for permission to connect when opening firefox. The last thing we need are more dialog

Will this work? I currently have 4 machines running Ubuntu, only 1 suspends correctly, another suspends but audio and wireless stop working and none can hibernate. Odysseus Flappington wrote: > > > 2008/12/4 (``-_-´´) -- Fernando <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Olá O

Re: Firefox newly insists on showing an EULA

I think we discussed enough, we should start taking action. We are already at Alpha 6 freeze state and clearly most of us don't want any stinking EULAs popping when starting our free software. We must have this sorted out before 8.10 Beta comes out. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-d

Re: I encountered a horrible experience with Nautilus and GParted

Not sure but I think stopping hald would "ugly-fix" this. hal daemon is what nautilus uses to find out about new plugged devices. Maybe gparted could stop the daemon when it starts and could start it back when you close it. Well at least AFAIK. On Fri, 2008-08-22 at 07:28 +1000, William Grant wr

Re: Call for testing empathy

I think the answer on this one is pretty simple. We should ship the package that provides the best functionality for _new_ users. We want newcomers to enjoy their experience, if empathy provides that, we have to ship it. There is only one first impression. Everyone else can apt-get pidgin or empat

Re: absurd: network connection required to obtain a network driver

I don't think the problem here is whether we get permission to redistribute it or not, the problem is including closed source material in the install CD. On Thu, 2008-07-03 at 20:14 +0200, Przemysław Kulczycki wrote: > Owners of Broadcom 43xx cards are in a very unpleasant situation when > they w

Re: Need to upgrade apache2 and php5 for security reasons

IMHO you need another security firm, and if security is important to you, don't enable backports as they may have new security vulnerabilities. The safest bet is to update only to security fixes, you miss the new features but that's normal for servers. Scott Kitterman wrote: > On Monday 30 June

Re: Banshee by default in Intrepid

I don't think rhythmbox needs to be changed, AFAIK its Ipod support comes from libpod, witch is the same for gtkpod, amarok and exaile. It does an awesome work at playing music and also works great if you need to manage your library. It would be nice to change it for amarok but all the kde dependen

Re: making deals with MS

Dear Mark Fink I would like you to reconsider your concept of Open Source and the reason why you are using Linux. You don't seem to understand the philosophy behind free software. Foss is all about choice so if you don't like it here you can very well use OpenBSD or anything else, but you *NEVER*

One main problem I'm having with Hardy's boot process is that it looses about 40 seconds trying to resume i don't know what just before the bios finishes doing its things: kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/something kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot... After that, Hardy boots somewh
