[Bug 39173] Re: usplash messages look a little bland and a little intimidating
The text while booting and shutting down looks very bad and primitive. Look at SUSE Linux 10.1's bootup splash. It's simply elegant! If we want, we can press Esc to see the actual messages but till then we have just a graphical screen with something moving to indicate the progress of the bootup. Fedora's bootsplash is also neat, but SUSE wins. I don't know about Ubuntu, but Kubuntu's usplash is definitely *not* cool. -- usplash messages look a little bland and a little intimidating https://launchpad.net/bugs/39173 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well then if you think so make it an upstream bug too.

[Bug 56970] K3B should be moved to KDE from otherosfs
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: k3b K3B is currently listed at: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/otherosfs/ No one expects it under Other OS's and file systems since by the self-professed description at http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/ that section is only for software to run programs compiled for other operating system, and to use their filesystems. According to my /etc/fstab, UDF and ISO9660 are the two filesystems used on CDs and DVDs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO9660 says that ISO9660 aims at supporting different computer operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and systems that follow the Unix specification, so that data may be exchanged. So ISO9660 belongs to *nix as much as to other OS-es and so cannot be labeled as an other OS FS. Similarly UDF which is the successor of ISO9660 cannot also be labeled so. Therefore K3B should not be placed into that category. In the view of the public, K3B is a KDE application. The KDE project itself puts K3B under its own extra gear, see http://extragear.kde.org/ Therefore K3B should go under http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/kde/ and in the future under the KDE category of the future releases of *ubuntu. I would attach this bug to Arson (http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/otherosfs/arson) too, but http://arson.sourceforge.net/ shows that this project is long dormant, so I will not. This is a K3B bug for want of a better package to attach to. ** Affects: k3b (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- K3B should be moved to KDE from otherosfs https://launchpad.net/bugs/56970 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 56971] The whole of KDE should be included in the Kubuntu DVD
Public bug reported: I download the Kubuntu DVD thinking it will have the entirety of KDE on it - namely all the packages whose sources available from KDE -- those listed at: http://kde.org/info/3.5.4.php However, I was highly disappointed to find that important, useful and serious packages have been omitted while fun packages like kdegames and kdetoys have been included. kdeaccessibility, kdeedu and kdevelop have been totally omitted as are some packages from kdeadmin, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, kdesdk and kdeutils. In place of this, foreign (to the KDE environment) packages such as Evolution and some gnome* packages have been included, taking up unnecessary (in a KDE-focused distro) space. These can be removed to make space for the real KDE packages. In fact, the size of the DVD is 3.4 GB - we still have 600 MB to fill up. It is only in case you don't want to go beyond 3.5 GB that my above suggestion of removing the GNOME apps is needed. Now I am not asking that the whole of KDE be *installed* in the default install. I am only asking that the whole of KDE be made *available* in the DVD for installation instead of making KDE fans like us download separately from the net (whether via Adept or otherwise). From a conversation at #kubuntu-devel I gather that it is because these packages are not included into the main category but are in the universe category that they are not included in the DVD. Then this situation should be changed. The KDE packages should all be put into main, but of course not into the default installation list. In conclusion, I reiterate - the whole of KDE should be included in the Kubuntu DVD. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: I download the Kubuntu DVD thinking it will have the entirety of KDE on it - namely all the packages whose sources available from KDE -- those listed at: http://kde.org/info/3.5.4.php However, I was highly disappointed to find that important, useful and serious packages have been omitted while fun packages like kdegames and kdetoys have been included. kdeaccessibility, kdeedu and kdevelop have been totally omitted as are some packages from kdeadmin, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, kdesdk and kdeutils.

[Bug 56971] Re: The whole of KDE should be included in the Kubuntu DVD
I do not understand what you mean by the Kubuntu DVD is the same (as the Ubuntu DVD) since the list files are obviously different. Anyway, I understand that both DVDs include the same main component. Then I am suggesting that the 'main' components of Ubuntu and Kubuntu should be different. Or at least: there should be a main component which is common which contains desktop-neutral stuff like GCC and a desktop component which contains desktop-particular stuff for each desktop. Do I start another request for that? -- The whole of KDE should be included in the Kubuntu DVD https://launchpad.net/bugs/56971 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 56887] Replace the blue globe Firefox icon with something better
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox As I understand it, Debian and Ubuntu have replaced the stock Firefox icon and Thunderbird due to Mozilla's licensing terms. So at least replace them with something that's easy on the eyes - nice to look at - than a blue globe which just looks like a glob of blue than an icon. At least a touch of green and white in that icon would make it more readable. I don't know how to make this bug applicable to two packages at a time, but this needs to be applied to Thunderbird too. Thanks for a great distro! P.S: I have searched the bug database before reporting this bug. If any dup escaped my attention, apologies. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Replace the blue globe Firefox icon with something better https://launchpad.net/bugs/56887 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 9318] Re: Firefox Uses Incorrect Icon
This bug should be reopened. The Mozilla people have clearly indicated that they are open to talks re giving permission for usage of the Firefox (and Thunderbird I hope) artwork. Please kindly talk with them and for Edgy I hope to see the regular Mozilla artwork for both Firefox and Thunderbird (and any other Mozilla products like Sunbird too, if applicable).
