1) Could you please explain why exactly this is not "a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix"? It's a small usability issue, it's in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install, it affects all desktop users, and at least some parts are quick and easy to fix. Would it help if I broke it up into smaller pieces (e.g., "update-manager should pop up immediately when icon is clicked")?
2) What makes this an "idea" and not a bug? Some examples of paper cuts that were fixed for Karmic: "Downloads should go to ~/Downloads" <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/204567> "Default folders inside Home Folder (e.g. Documents, Music) should have special icons/emblems" <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/126103> "Ubuntu LiveCD "Install" icon confusing" <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/154506> And many other things in the same vein. I identified several specific, concrete problems in an Ubuntu application, presented evidence that at least some are in fact problems, and suggested possible fixes. What about this is "not really a bug", or less of a bug than the fixed paper cuts from Karmic I linked to? -- update-manager is slow, obtrusive, and confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495530 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
