I wrote off-list that I'm now subscribed to the open bugs and wishlist 
tickets site, but I can't login to the open bugs and wishlist tickets 
site, the owner, Daniel is informed about this too. I agree that it's 
better to post clear bugs like a broken link off the flashplugin-nonfree 
to the bug tracker of 64 Studio, even if this might be from the Ubuntu 
repository to.

For the problem with TunaPie there are two reasons why I don't agree:

1. The bad preferences might be fine for Ubuntu Hardy, but not fine for 
64 Studio 3.0-beta3.
2. After I set the preferences, TunaPie seems to be fine, but the used 
media player gxmms2 might have a problem.

For troubles like that, I can write reports from pillar to post, because 
it might not be a bug and it's unclear which application fails. I guess 
the main address to report to, should be the used distro.

Cheers,
Ralf
