[Bug 522109] [NEW] Cannot boot lucid lynx alpha 2 with invalid share in fstab
Public bug reported: Added to /etc/fstab one sshfs share (which cannot be mounted because of server unavailability). System fails to boot, by saying that "mountall" failed, so my home cannot be mounted. I don't understand why the home cannot be mounted (I don't have a separate home partition), but the system stucks. PS It took my some time to find how to report this bug. Apparently this link has been put away on purpose, in order to force users to report ubuntu bugs from ubuntu. What happens if I cannot boot ubuntu because of a bug? We go back to M$, where you needed internet in order to install ... welll ... the connection to the internet. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Cannot boot lucid lynx alpha 2 with invalid share in fstab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522109 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
Currently I am using a vertical auto-hide panel (as a quicklauncher) on the left side and a vertical panel (that includes the systray, taskmanager, and a few applets - kima, weather, clock, etc.) on the right side. I am actually using KDE3. Why ? Not because it looks better (it's a matter of taste) or because I "hate" gnome. It's simply because it lets me configure it according to most of my needs (ergonomical & aesthetical) in a very simple way. For instance, try to change the orientation of the gnome panel from horizontal to vertical - big trouble. Why wouldn't I want to use the panel in vertical mode (especially nowadays when there are resolutions down to 700 and smth pixels on the vertical)? Why the gnome panel was not designed to support the vertical orientation? Total mistery to me. As long as the requirements I mentioned above in the post are not met, I stick to my opinion - it's not a DE, it's just a collection of apps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/null/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
I think that trying to use the same UI on a smartphone/tablet/desktop/laptop is a mistake. Perhaps in 10 years from now it will be the case with all OSes and all devices and users might get used to it maybe. That would simply mean that I will use my phone in the same way as my future extra powerful desktop. That would be a terrible waste: it will kill diversity and everybody will shake their phones in the same way in order to skip to the next track. How will we be skipping to the next track on our future laptops? By shaking them, too ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
Sad, ain't it ? I have more and more the feeling that I'm heading straight to the wall with Ubuntu (and with Linux, in general, since Ubuntu is the best Linux distro, right?). Well, at least as a desktop environment. Power consumption and management, version updates, driver integration, etc. these are important issues, too. As for the DE GUI, as long as we're stuck with this kind of issues and not taking a wholistic approach, I am very much afraid that Ubuntu's days are numbered. Please, Mark, don't do this to us, Ubuntu fans and users. Please, don't do this to yourself. Just steal some GUI designers from Microsoft, and make something new, something great. Or at least something that works. I see the internet full of rants about this issue and about some other Ubuntu issues. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/why-ubuntu-1110-fills-me-with-rage/19103?tag=content;siu-container -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/null/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
I would like to say a few things: 1) There is a difference between "limiting" the options and "not having" them. We don't want to do as some other people, who say that the users don't know what they want, we have to tell them. 2) I suggest the following iteration: 2.1.) take any OOTB experience - not a random one, though :-) (within realistic limits, of course - GUI design guidelines, dev resources, etc.) 2.2.) implement it 2.2.) synthesize(save) the experience in a configuration file (all the Unity configuration can be saved in a /some files, right?) 2.3.) a poll is made where the users post their configuration file. A merge is made, the most common configurations are identified by name and proposed as a mainstream OOTF experience (I propose "Sparta" as the most widely used one - there can be such a thing as a GUI Democracy, right?) This can be repeated a number of times, until the "real" mainstream is attained. 3) My opinion on DE in general: 3.1.) Component interaction as straightforward as possible - drag&drop, right click, etc.; 3.2.) Component customization - there are so many common-sense things so difficult/impossible to get. Examples: - windows titlebar text font/size/color; - icon sizes/text/appearance in general - systray, taskbar, quicklaunch icons are so hard to customize, sometimes impossible; 3.3.) Component integration - the most overlooked and missed one. Examples: wheel scroll on a power manager icon SHOULD do something (change the brightness, or the current power scheme, etc.); wheel scroll on a mixer icon SHOULD do something (change volume, change default output device, etc.). Anything that is on the screen SHOULD interact in some way with the user. Not the other way around. 3.4.) DE INTEGRATED apps - system monitor, time/date/weather applet, taskbars, systrays should be part of the DE and not "just another app". Stand-alone system monitors, time/date applets where you cannot change anything, taskbars with no possibility to change the colour of the text, or display only the text/only the icon should not be thought of as part of the DE itself. They're just "some apps". There are so many things in current DEs that I think are not treated synergistically that I cannot stop asking myself every time I turn on my computer: why, oh why? PS When can we see a systray where the size of EACH icon can be set independently? PPS As long as we stick to current paradigm, a DE is incomplete without some gesture functionalities. Please see easystroke. Please note that all these comments are my personal views and thought that I try to live with, it might be 100% irrelevant to current topic; I just felt I needed to say it and it seemed that here there was a good place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/null/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
