I appreciate it very much, that the sabdfl has started work on this issue ;-)
Unfortunately, this bug is blocked by a large number of pertaining quality issues in ubuntu distributions. (flash/amd64 mess, extremely varying sound/hibernation mileage with each distro upgrade, closed- source display drivers destabilizing the kernel and not implementing the latest X.org features, just to mention the most painful ones....) Moreover, it is impossible to get a support contact with canonical or someone else, which assures, that such nasty issues are fixed within a reasonable time. To sum up, I think there's a lot of work for the sabdfl in the field of better cooperation with hardware vendors and finding a Linux desktop business model, which allows to buy more service than a friendly installation support, which helps you to work around well-known bugs. My personal opinion is, that it turned out to be impossible to assure a reasonable distro quality within a six-month release period. The stabilization period for a distribution, which *really* hits the masses probably needs to be substantially longer.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
