In UNE 10.10, and in Ubuntu Natty, there is no graphical way of telling what version of Ubuntu you're using. Knowing the version number is important for tech support. So, there needs to be a straightforward but out-of-the-way method of finding it. In Windows, "Help" > "About" in an Explorer (or Program Manager) window has always shown an about box with the Windows version. <http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/interface/dialogs/aboutgui/win101.png> <http://marlonpalmas.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/windows-7-about-box.png> In Mac OS, the Apple menu has always contained an "About This Computer" or "About This Mac" menu item that opened an about box. <http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/interface/dialogs/aboutgui/macos11.png> <http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/interface/dialogs/aboutgui/macosx103.png> In Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier, "System" > "About Ubuntu" has always opened a help page mentioning the Ubuntu version. This was nasty, but at least it existed. The solution should not pretend that "About Ubuntu" is an "application" of any sort. <https://launchpad.net/about-window> has code for an About box, but the access point would still need to be designed. ** Affects: ayatana-design Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: unity Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Tags: fitandfinish -- No graphical way to tell what version of Ubuntu you're using https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
