I really don't understand why this isn't a high priority. This was a regression from Gutsy to Hardy, and regressions should be fixed as quickly ASAP, in my opinion. When you break something that was working, fix it! -- Richard E.Dick Dunbar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home:651-528-6026 Cell:612-382-3604

No question this is a bug, one that should be addressed as urgent if not critical. Creation and modification dates, and other attributes have always been preserved in Linux copy and move, and to state otherwise is ridiculous. Changing this behavior is disasterous, and it did change from 7.10 to

I also discovered that setting up the launcher to execute firefox http://www.towboatgallery.com/ardvark/ardgbeX.php?where=89CentN120; causes it to work correctly. I had previously determined that when executed from somewhere other than a launcher, it also worked OK. -- Gnome launcher drops

I have had this problem of unreadably tiny username and password font sizes on Feisty and Gutsy, and now on Hardy. My system uses a 50 DLP TV as its monitor. No multiple monitors, or anything fancy, just my TV connected via a VGA cable. I would like to try setting the font size as mentioned

I haven't seen that particular problem. In my case, it has always been a stand-alone USB hard drive that has come up with dual icons. If I unmount it, one goes away, and I'm unable to do anything with the remaining one. But so far, it has never happened on successive boots, so if it happens, I

I have a similar problem that cropped up a few weeks ago. One week the printer (HP2110) was working fine, then the next, after some updates, it can't get to the printer. Same thing on all four of my Ubuntu Gutsy systems. Oddly, I can print to it fine from my VirtualBox virtual XP installation
