Michele. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 only to remove it after spending a week trying to get the pptp VPN to work in it. As you might be aware that it is still broken. Therefore, I have not tested the bug you talk about in the new release of Ubuntu.
I still cannot use beagle in my current version of Ubuntu even after all the updates. You can close this bug if you like. I'm running Windows Aero now most of the time. In case you are remotely interested in my opinion of Ubuntu: It is a remarkable achievement by a volunteer coordinated effort but if you really want to get things moving then consider this. There should be a program which rewards all contributors, to Ubuntu, a tiny sum based on the number of copies of Ubuntu licensed worldwide. For instance, 1/100th of a cent per user for the contributor of an important driver. Now multiply that with 10,000,000 users (worldwide) and that becomes a thousand dollars. Nice reward for developing a bug free driver. At just $10 per licensed Ubuntu user per year you could basically sustain (not just pay, SUSTAIN) a fixed income of a $1,000 per year for 50,000 contributors. It may not sound like much but considering some people may be contributing more than just a driver they may be making $20,000 per year (auxiliary income) from such efforts. Now you got people interested, sustained and most importantly, feeling responsible for their contributions. I already know about the free software foundation so I don't need to be reminded about that. I am just saying, it might be time to upgrade the license from free to almost free. What do you think?

You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: beagle (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Unable to use Beagle https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281677 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in "beagle" source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm not sure if this is the right place to report a situation like this but I just picked 'Report a Problem' from Firefox. That seemed easy. So, as for the problem: I installed beagle for desktop search. Now when I hit F12 the search window comes up and no matter what I try to search for, I get a message in the middle of the window "Search service not running". I can click on the button 'Start search service' but that does nothing.
