2009/1/11 traxtermaster jasonmoug...@hotmail.com: For the website that will push you to use IE you can install the mozilla plug-in called agent switcher which allows you to fake IE or other browser. some times it works fine but when it comes to .net stuff it can be a problem. .NET is an other attemp of microsoft to keep people to switch to linux since its a windows application only. I call it Microsoft Internet. When people ask me why do i use Firefox even on Windows i reply: Microsoft Internet Explorer, as its name implies, is a browser for Microsoft Internet. I us a genuine web browser to surf the genuine Internet. Every now and then it convinces people to try Firefox. It is more than a joke: Since about 1997 Microsoft tries to treat the Web as its own territory. In 1997 it was ActiveX controls vs. Java applets. ActiveX failed almost completely, as they were terribly insecure and completely unportable. Java applets failed, too, 'cuz despite their portability, their bad performance made them unusable. In that war Flash won, which is quite a problem, as Gnash and swfdec are not yet on par with the proprietary Adobe software. Then Microsoft pushed IE4. It was a success, but for the most part, Firefox is compatible. Standards-incompatible sites are disappearing day after day. Microsoft tries something new now - pushing .NET and Silverlight as a client web platform. Although .NET is a success for server and desktop applications, it fails miserably as a client web platform, so it's not a big thing to worry about. (On a personal note - it is quite a shame to see this: .NET is terrible software-freedom-wise, but not bad at all software-engineering-wise.) -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 306571] [NEW] Print Layout Diagram should be changed to Show Layout Diagram
Public bug reported: Keyboard layout manager in Gnome has a button called Print Layout Diagram. It is wrong to assume that a user will want to print his keyboard layout on paper all the time. If the button is called Print, the user may think that his printer will immediately start to print it; what if he just wants to check how to type a certain letter and is afraid of wasting paper or toner? Instead, this button should be called Show Layout Diagram. It is possible currently to show the diagram on screen by printing it to a file and then opening the file. This is very confusing. It makes a lot more sense to show it on screen by default and have an option to print it. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Print Layout Diagram should be changed to Show Layout Diagram https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In general i think that the name of the button should be changed and the preference should be to show the diagram on the screen and have an option to print it out (See Bug #306571 ) But in the meantime, here's a small suggestion for improvement. The layout can be printed to a file (confusing terminology - it would be better called saved to a file). The default file name is output.pdf. This is too generic. It should be called LAYOUT_NAME.pdf. For example, if the current keyboard layout is Spanish (Spain), then the default file name should be Spanish_(Spain).pdf. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- output.pdf in Print Layout Diagram should be called LAYOUT_NAME.pdf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 304392] Re: The default Hebrew keyboard layout doesn't include vowel points (niqqud)
You need to define a Third Level Chooser in Keyboard layout options, in order to type vowels. Thanks. I defined Right Alt for this and it works. The bug report is still relevant, though. 1. Niqqud support must be on *by default*. It's on by default on Windows, and AFAIK, on Mac, too. I had no idea about this thing called Third Level Chooser. And even after Ilya told me about its existence, i couldn't find it in KDE at all, and it took me a few minutes more to find it in Gnome. No user should go through that. 2. I couldn't find a way to make it work with CapsLock, like in Windows and Mac. All in all, using Right Alt for this makes more sense than using CapsLock, but it should be documented somewhere. 3. The layout is not exactly the same as on Windows. The common vowels appear on the same keys, but the Rafe and the Meteg characters appear elsewhere. Now - i'm not happy at all about writing like Windows all the time. A Windows compatibility mode won't hurt, but it would be even better to do it as defined by SII - Standards Institute of Israel.

[Bug 304392] [NEW] The default Hebrew keyboard layout doesn't include vowel points (niqqud)
Public bug reported: I could not find a way to type Hebrew vowel points in Ubuntu. The vowel points are not used in most texts, but they are used in several important areas: * Texts for children - This makes Ubuntu unusable for children who want to write their elementary school homework. * Religious texts - This makes Ubuntu unusable for people who would like to try Inkscape or Scribus for typesetting a religious book (Bible, Mishna etc.) or to even include a proper Biblical quotation in an OpenOffice document. * Reference works, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias and textbooks and also Hebrew poetry - This makes Ubuntu unusable in these important areas of desktop publishing. * Linguistic research work - Students who study the Hebrew language in a University, like myself, usually work with texts with vowel points, because they are far more detailed. I use Ubuntu at home, but without the ability to type vowel points, i need to use an XP machine in the University to type my papers. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqqud In Windows the vowel points can be typed using this unusual combination: * pressing CapsLock * putting the cursor after the letter where a point needs to be set * pressing Shift-number; each number key on the keyboard is assigned to a vowel points. It's awkward, but it works. The Hebrew keyboard on Ubuntu doesn't support it. I can try fixing this bug myself. After all, editing a keyboard map is not supposed to be too hard. In fact, i can make this keyboard 100% familiar to Windows users, but even better, by adding some important characters which the Windows layout doesn't include. I edited the Windows layout using http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx , and i don't mind editing complicated text files, if that's what it takes. However, i will need mentorship, as i never did anything like this on Unix. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - niqqud + The default Hebrew keyboard layout doesn't include vowel points (niqqud) -- The default Hebrew keyboard layout doesn't include vowel points (niqqud) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Every six-months a version of Ubuntu is released to big PR hoo-hah. Blogs with mockups of the new theme for the upcoming Ubuntu version receive a lot of Diggs. And well, the graphic designers working on Ubuntu are doing a great job, but usability isn't necessarily a question of graphic design. New icons, wallpapers and themes should be the lowest priority by now. They are more than good enough. Hardware support, software alternatives for Windows-only products and overall stability are more important than a new wallpaper. (I would make an exception for fonts, though.

If Adobe wants to collaborate with Canonical, Adobe must make their software Free. Uhh I thought Canonical is a business, not a communist organization.. I'm not an employee of Canonical, but to the best of my understanding, it is not a communist organization, but a business, which is improving and releasing Free Software. This business wouldn't be possible without the Free Software community, so it gives something back by sticking to Free Software principles. The Free Software movement have been called communist many times: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.gnu.org+communist Why then do you bother with Free Software in the first place? I like some open source software like Firefox, RubyOnRails, Python, Java, WebKit, Gimp, Apache, etc Do you like them because of their functionality, because you don't have to pay for them, or because they are Free/Open Source? I'm not a graphic designer, but from what i've heard Photoshop is functionally better than Gimp. So if you would receive a license for Photoshop for zero dollars, would you keep using Gimp? I would keep using GNU/Linux even if i would get Windows for zero dollars, despite the fact GNU/Linux lacks some functionality that Windows has, because i want to use Free Software. The many social and technical benefits of Free Software are listed at www.gnu.org , but here's my favorite: You are allowed, legally and technically, to fix the bugs in it yourself, and if you don't have the skill to fix the bug, you can file a bug in a public bug-tracking system and actually follow its solution, often seeing the most important developers and project leaders participating in it. You won't get that in the proprietary software world. So basically, the existence of Launchpad as a public bug-reporting website is a huge advantage of Ubuntu. The same goes for SourceForge, Bugzilla and other public bug-reporting websites, which - to the best of knowledge - only exist in the Free Software community.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
People using OSS OS'es should increase pressure on those vendors that don't support open source drivers. The only sensible way to pressure vendors that i can think of is to refuse to buy hardware which is not supported. Instead, people try to make Ubuntu work with their Windows machine. Pre-installed Ubuntu machines from system76 and Dell are not necessarily workable with 100% free drivers, which is also a problem. I don't see what's the point in using a Free OS and ignoring the issue of Free drivers. Ubuntu made a good step with the restricted drivers manager - people need to click another button to enable a proprietary driver, but after they click the button, they forget it.

[Bug 1] Ubuntu Bug #1 - Wireless Internet in Rambam hospital in Haifa, part 1
I have a Toshiba Tecra laptop with Vista and Ubuntu Feisty. My wife urgently needed to connect to the Internet a few days ago, so she went to the Rambam hospital in Haifa, which has free access points. She's not an avid GNU/Linux user like i am, so she tried to connect with Vista and it didn't work. She tried calling the local tech support, who tried to help her, but gave up and said that she should have installed XP. She was badly frustrated and then i had a crazy idea - why not try it with Ubuntu? I rebooted, turned on the Intel wireless card in restricted drivers drivers manager and the network worked PERFECTLY. (Later she had trouble using an IE-only website, but that's a different story.) So there - Linux, despite its troublesome history in wireless support won over Vista quite easily in this case! Keep it in mind when you see someone struggling with WiFi in Windows.

A guy in his fifties approaches me and asks: Guy: Do you connect to the Web with your laptop here? Me: That's right, i do. Guy: I have a laptop and it didn't work for me here. How do you connect? Me: Well, i just have this icon here, which shows which networks it detects and i click and connect and it's pretty simple ... Although there's a good chance that you don't have the same operating system as i do. Guy: Oh, it is the same - i have Windows XP. Me: Ehh ... this is not Windows XP, this is Linux ... And this is a big of a problem - i am not sure that he understood what i said. (I must be lucky that he knew what an operating system is.) I am certainly NOT in the camp that hates KDE and Gnome because they look too much like Windows. Looking like Windows is not a bad strategy, when correctly applied.

Thanks for the link. As far as i am concerned, the worst bug in Ubuntu (a big bunch of bugs really) that seriously hurts its adoption in Israel is that OpenOffice very often opens documents in Hebrew quite badly, especially if they have tables or other tricky formatting. It's really stupid, but when people email each other jokes and beautiful pictures in PPT or DOC format and they can't see them correctly, it really bugs them and they dismiss Ubuntu immediately. Translating OpenOffice's menus doesn't fix that (i contributed a few translations myself). There's also another problem - some important Israeli websites are IE-only in a very bad way. I didn't have to resort to IE for any non-Hebrew website since about 2004, but in Israel it's still a catastrophe. I occasionally email the webmasters, trying to remind them that there are some people that don't use Windows, but they rarely bother to reply, let alone fix their sites.

[Bug 1] suggested patch - search engine for free hardware systems
Ubuntu is both a popular distribution and one that is relatively purist about Free Software. Despite that, i couldn't find an *easy* way on any Ubuntu-related website, or anywhere on the web, to test whether a computer will work with Ubuntu without the need to use restricted drivers and firmware *before* i buy the computer. Until now everything was an afterthought - for years i installed Linux after i bought the computer and all the time i ran into problems because there were no drivers at all or because there were no free drivers. Now i want to test that a computer will be completely usable with only Free Software without binary blobs and proprietary firmware - but i couldn't find any sane way to do it without being a hardware guru, kernel hacker and master lspci decryptor. I already looked at the gNewSense webpage ( http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/RecommendedHardware ) and FSF's Hardware compatibility page ( http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/ ). Still too hard to decypher. I looked at a few linux laptop compatibility sites that i found on Google, but it didn't help - they are all a mess. I know that it is all a volunteer community effort, but i think that it is a problem. I asked about it on some forums and mailing lists several times. Some people say buy a Dell/System76 - well, at least some Dells and System76's use NVidia drivers, which are either non-Free or technically crippled. Some say Google is your friend - but no, in this case it is not: It is damn hard to check every single device and be sure that it has a free driver. Some people say that i worry too much and that this matter is just not too important. I understand a few things about software, but i really don't claim to understand ALL of the technical implications of non-free drivers and firmware, so one could say that i listen to Richard Stallman's preaching about freedom too zealously; but i believe that this might be important to Ubuntu considering Mark Shuttleworth's announcement of the extra-free Gutsy Gibbon edition. Who will bother to try to install it, if it's too damn hard to find a properly free computer which can run it?
