Since this is a heated topic and quite important to me, I'll add my opinion and ask a question too.
This may not be a usability issue for those that are familiar with computers and linux, but those who are not and see this will assume they did something wrong when installing vendor drivers or linux just isn't working well. How would you feel when you are constantly chased by a feeling something might break any minute now and you loose your data. I know this isn't true for the 99% of the time, but it really doesn't matter if it is true or not, it only matters what people think. The little things are those that make simple people (that make most the population of our planet), look at linux differently, and get the impression it's just another windoze ripoff. And how do you think does it make me feel when I say to people that ubuntu is a fine system and then when I boot it up, the first thing they see is something that does not work. > And I might add, <engage capslock mode> THIS WAS DONE KNOWING THAT KERNEL > MODE SETTING DOES NOT WORK WITH > VENDOR DRIVERS </capslock> so I don't want to hear that <AGAIN/> And Why did they do that? Isn't it obvious that every one that has a chance to install vendor drivers will do this right away? Give me a good reason (and don't involve vendors here) and I won't mention this problem ever again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563878 Title: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
