The "typical of Canonical" is just not true, do you have any example where non-free software has been preferred to an equivalent free software? The comments on this bug are from me and not a Canonical statement, and note that the bug is still open which is mean it has not been rejected, it's just being discussed. Is there anything wrong about bringing pros and cons before choosing?
The complex plugin has been disabled on upstream recommendation is Ubuntu 7.04 and I'm not convinced that it works nicely, I'll give it a try. Do you some website you use with realplayer to look how it works? I'm all for using it if it's doing the job correctly. What I try to avoid is to force a broken software and remove the possibility for people who need a working version to install something else because the buggy software is installed by default and taking over other alternatives -- VLC and RealPlayer fake plugins not compiled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
