Public bug reported:
Thanks for this availability.
I am currently running Kubuntu 10.4 on a dual 1.83 System76 Pangolin
laptop. As far as bugs are concerned, I have three. One is the
inability, in the current kernel, to turn on "autorepeat" on the
keyboard without odd keys, at odd times, running on. The second is a
problem with the power control hanging in a "hibernate" or "sleep" mode
halfway through the boot sequence. The third is the subject of this
report.
When I first started using Linux the idea was that everything one needed
should be on the 700MB iso, and any "extras" could be extracted from the
proper repos. Nobody knew what platform a system would be running, but,
after all, Linux users were trained software engineers, weren't they?
Times seem to be changing as it is more generally recognised that there
is a number of people, as myself, who do not have any more training
than, maybe, a class in Fortran 77 in the murky past. Also, isos are
more often either DVD-sized or designed from the start as "Net-lnstall"
packages with dummy installation packages for the needed software. In
view of all this, there is no reason, in my own non-techy point of view,
why there should not be ways for the isos to be able to read the
architecture of a given machine and install the proper multimedia
software without us non-techies having to work until the next distro
comes out searching for the proper drivers and codecs to simply play a
flash video or play a DVD. How about a little help?
Thanks,
Robert
