In Hardy Heron LTS the problem is still present (I also installed freepats ma nothing new happens). Can you fix this in Hardy too? I hope it isn't like other bugs only fixed in Intrepid. I think the fix should be ported to Hardy too or at least there should be a message in Hardy, when a user try to listen to midi files (you can do this in Totem as it's the default player in Ubuntu) that helps him to resolve the issue (for example: "to listen to midi files you have to install this package", or "to listen to midi files you have to do these steps" and so on).
I think we can standardize two types of patches: 1) one patch is the typical fix of a bug (made in the last stable release) 2) the second type of patch is a workaround (a message, a pop-up, etc) that helps user to resolve the bug in some way (that is "install a package", "do these steps", and so on). This type of patch is useful (and mandatory to do) when we cannot backport a fix into the previous supported distros (even if I think LTS should involve a major effort to patch backporting). -- plays midi, but complains about missing codec afterwards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208068 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
