"It's going to be an offence but I am gonna say it " WINDOWS IS GETTING BETTER ESPECIALLY WITH 64Bit"."
OK Let's not get into a flaming war; but I see Atul's frustration: what sort of useful OS cannot even recognise CDs and DVDS!? This type of things makes Linux (Ubuntu) look pathetically bad - and people do not seem that bothered. Remember the thing about Flash not really working on Linux - that took ages to "solve." It's still not right. Such basics should be ironed out within hours. Atul and I would simply like simple instructions - my problem is that I ahve Lucid 10.04 and CDs and DVDs are not AUTOMOUNTED. They will only be recognised when I restart. I do not want to install a "mass update" as in the past any update has totally messed up my installation (won't recognise my wireless conenction etc.) so all we need is a fix for the mounting thing. Is this crucial thing too much to ask for - I repeat Atul's frustration is expressed quite mildly compared with people who already laugh at Linux . I feel for him. Reading CD/CDRs is crucial! Next, certain people will be saying (for the next release of Ubuntu) "your monitor not recognised?" "hey if you need a monitor so bad, then go back to Windows" - I do not joke, this is the type of thing that is said. -- [LUCID] cd/dvd not recognized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554433 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
