Re: [Bug 798414] Re: update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error when there isn't enough free space
Hi Gordon, I've had this same issue for many months and have come to the conclusion that there is no expertise within Ubuntu or if there is then no one who is prepared to fix it and get it out to the community. I have reluctantly had to revert 42 machines back to Windows. Windows 10 now which is miles better than XP and until Ubuntu has a professional organisation behind it. I'm leaving Ubuntu 14.04 on this one unit just to see it this issue ever gets fixed. Its been suggested we give Fedora a go and ditch any ideas of ever using Ubuntu. If you have any experience (good or bad) of Fedora then please share.

Iain, This 'bug has been around for a long time now and the information that is on or comes back from the forum is inadequate and in one instance rendered my computer unbootable. In the end I moved back to Windows 7 for all my serious work and now use Ubuntu 14.04 for anything that I'm prepared to loose. I hope one day to be able to move back to Ubuntu as my main computing platform when it is as stable as Win 7. Good luck.

Re: [Bug 696115] Re: Timezone should not require superuser on laptop
Yes, I figured as much. I didn't intend to do that, but then I couldn't figure out how to un-assign it. Sorry, still learning how the bugtracker works. If I see a bug that I think I can help with, is it ok for me to leave comments in the bugtracker? On this particular bug, I only brought it up in ubuntu-bugs irc. this morning, some people had been working on it.
