[Bug 1651360] Re: Formatting a removable disk

I'll revise these pages too (revisions needed due to change to Disks GUI and apparently replacement of the Disk Utility application): disk-partitions.html (current version of the page refers to the "Disk Utility application", etc) disk-benchmark.html (probably very minor changes: one menu option

[Bug 1654238] [NEW] Switch to "English (United States)" doesn't work correctly

Public bug reported: I wanted to switch from "English (United Kingdom)" to "English (United States)". Ubuntu 16.04. In Language Support I moved "English (United States)" to the top of the list and then logged off and logged back in - but my language was still "English (United Kingdom)". Eg the

[Bug 1651233] Re: Inconsistent terminology for USB flash drive

@Gunnar. When the status is set to Opinion this bug drops off the list of ubuntu-docs bugs. I think the bug is worth keeping in mind. Can we set the status so that it stays on the list? Personally I'd set status = Triaged, importance = Low. If I update a page for other reasons I may as well make

[Bug 1569532] Re: Describe the Startup Disk Creator

So shall I create a new page to document this (yes it should be a short page)? And link it in to the help by adding a link to addremove.html? I think this is where people will probably look (in the desktop help) for the info (though it relates to installation of an operating system, not

[Bug 1651360] Re: Formatting a removable disk

I can't see any more pages impacted by the changes to the Disks gui. I've had a quick look at pages that contain "Disks" or "volume" or "partition". Once the changes to disk-partitions.page are approved and pushed I'm planning to set the status of this bug to "Fix Committed". -- You received

[Bug 1569532] Re: Describe the Startup Disk Creator

We can copy (or link to) these instructions: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu I believe the Startup Disk Creator can't be used as a general tool for creating bootable USB flash drives (eg I believe it can't be used with an Arch Anywhere iso - well I tried it

[Bug 1651233] [NEW] Inconsistent terminology for USB flash drive

Public bug reported: In the desktop help (development version - and very likely 16.10 too) the terminology for USB flash drive is inconsistent. For example: disk-format.html refers to "USB memory stick" files-share.html refers to "USB flash drive" backup-where.html refers to "USB memory key"

[Bug 1651360] Re: Formatting a removable disk

@Gunnar. Yes I'll make a note to check what other pages need to be changed (presumably you mean other pages that describe how to use the Disks application?). I think it's straightforward to revise disk- format.html. On a related point: it seems to me that it will be quite common for users to want

[Bug 1651360] Re: Formatting a removable disk

Yes that sounds OK. Can I change the title of the page to something like "Wipe the data off a removable disk and reuse it"? My thinking is that "reuse" (or some such such word) is a task-orientated verb, so should be in the title. "Wipe" is task-orientated too but the users who want to "reuse"

[Bug 1651360] [NEW] Formatting a removable disk

Public bug reported: The GUI for the Disks application must have been changed in the last few years so disk-format.html needs to be revised. The Disks application now seems to hide as many of the technical details as it can (which in theory I think is a good idea). I have a problem in that when

[Bug 1670685] [NEW] yelp crashed with SIGSEGV in webkit_uri_scheme_request_finish()

Public bug reported: I opened yelp from the command line to view some help files. It worked fine for five minutes or so and then unexpectedly crashed. I think I may have been editing the help file it was viewing when it crashed. If so it should of course warn me not crash. ProblemType: Crash
