Hi Sam, Sam Tygier [2008-07-03 20:09 +0100]: Does Jockey ask the user to put in a driver cd? or check it the firmware is on a windows/mac partition? or ask the user if they have the file? Neither at the moment, I'm afraid :/ Martin -- Martin Pitt|

Hug Day - 08 July 2008

Kubuntu Intrepid will bring major changes with KDE 4.1, fixing a lot of bugs or making them irrelevant. We need help sorting out which bugs can now be closed, which still need to be fixed in Intrepid, and which bugs are really important and need to be fixed in Hardy/KDE3. So, the next hug day,

No run menu item?

Recently I've noticed that Ubuntu (or just Gnome) doesn't have a run program menu entry like in Windows' Start menu. I don't think every user will magically know the alt+f2 shortcut. I think this menu item should be added to the Applications menu, above or below Add/Remove menu item. It's a
