[Bug 89901] Re: [services-admin] Services' description not quite informative
This bug has still not been addressed (9.04), and I fully concur with the previous posters. It would help already -- and this is hopefully only a small bit of _technical_ rather than social work -- is if the Services entries were linked to packages. So you can get at information about the package, its description, and, in particular, to get at a link to the official website where one can obtain more information. -- [services-admin] Services' description not quite informative https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89901 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 89901] Re: [services-admin] Services' description not quite informative
The service settings dialog is most confusing part of default Ubuntu desktop IMHO. Users really needs to know what happens if they disable e.g. hotkey-setup or enable alsa-utils. Users should get answer to question When I want to use my disks safe and on maximum performance, should I have hdparm service enabled or disabled? right from this dialog. Description of services enabled by default should have included information If you disable this service, features like . would not be accessible. and optionally Never disable this service if you really do not know what you are doing. or This service is essential to applications like Description of services disabled by default should have included information like In cases you want to play with do enable this service.. and optionally You don't need this service in most cases. The one line information could be not enough, so multi-line description should be considered. Actually it is hard to find any information e.g. what happens when I enable alsa-utils: Description unavailable. Help does not helped. Even if you try google out what is it for, you wouldn't be probably satisfied. Forum threads like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 also don't give the answer. May be this bug report should be converted to new blueprint? It would be nice to have it in Hardy LTS. -- [services-admin] Services' description not quite informative https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89901 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
