[Bug 1055866] Re: Combine all official derivatives differing only in default desktop environment to single distribution

2012-09-24 Thread silverballer47
Given that the Ubuntu installation images are now slightly larger than CD-size and will require DVDs, this seems like a good use of some of that extra available storage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Public bug reported: I recently upgraded from Maverick to Natty and my SSHFS automount map stopped working. I can manually mount servers using both sshfs and mount (with fstype fuse), but automount seems not even to register that a request for a particular location has been made. In addition, an

[Bug 605694] Re: ubuntu for mipsel

2010-07-14 Thread silverballer47
I think this is a wonderful idea. There is at least one company (Lemote) that offers mipsel-based hardware (mini-desktops and netbooks) married to a GNU operating system (gNewSense), and I am sure this number is going to explode. A quick search online will reveal that Gentoo is pursuing a MIPS-

[Bug 575518] Re: linux kernel contains GPL violations

2010-05-04 Thread silverballer47
It appears, and I could be wrong, that Debian seems to group ALL binary blobs into a firmware-nonfree package. On the other hand, gNewSense does away with binary blobs altogether. This often renders certain hardware unusable at first go, which is one of the hallmarks of Ubuntu. By following one

2010-02-20 Thread silverballer47
I notice that this bug has been triaged (and closed on gnome-bugs) but as of Karmic and Evolution 2.28.1, I am still having this issue. evolution-data-server-2.28 slowly begins consuming more and more memory as time goes on (even if I leave my machine untouched, as many others here have noted). I
