Re: Strawman: Change the Ubuntu Release Cycle

I find that the normal releases aren't *quite* stable enough for every-day use (even in a home environment) because of the features that are only half-implemented and the early-adopters penalty, while the LTS quickly becomes too out-of-date for home users who prefer up-to-date software. Can you give examples of such features? I've not seen this in Ubuntu on a released system (with the possible exception of compiz, which crashes occasionally) displayconfig-gtk. It hasn't worked on any of the three computers I have tried it on -- it either crashes or X refuses to start after using it. And my experience doesn't seem to be uncommon. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: GParted installed by default?

I don't believe this latter statement is true, except perhaps by a temporary bug in some milestone CD images [1]. An exhaustive search of the germinate output for all previous releases states that it has only ever been installed on the live CD, and not intentionally copied to the hard disk. So, no posts in this thread for some days... I'm still interested to know whether it's somebody's decision or just random that GParted isn't installed. Who would know? And where to suggest to change it, if not here? File a bug?
