Dear Jagmax, Let me clear up a few things and add some info that I didn't provide yet
> I'm having the same issues. And not with just Kiba-Dock. This happens > with Docky and Cairo-Dock also. Ok, as Cairo-Dock is a part of the Ubuntu archive please file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug cairo-dock'. The report will then be looked at by the cairo-dock maintainers. > Here is where the community is having a break down. > _____________________________________________________________ > 1." you didn't provide a link to the .deb you filed this bug about." > > *He gave it to you in the first line: (kiba-dock_0.1-1.2_i386.deb) Google it > and it comes up first. How could you not find it? You didn't even look, thats > why. Otherwise you would have it. A note here: I *did* google for it and found it, but I also found out on the kiba-dock website that the package is supposed to be used for Ubuntu Edgy Eft (6.10) and the reporter told us that he was reporting this bug from Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10). So I assumed I must have found the wrong package and asked the reporter to lead me to the one he used. Now I downloaded the package and installed it. Ok, I got a dock-like window that didn't function at all. I then checked the package Changelog and found out that it was the same package I had found before, the one built for Edgy Eft. Now please recheck what you said as point 3. Ubuntu doesn't support packages from older releases to be used in a newer release. If you really complain about this than this would be like taking your MS-DOS Game, installing it on Windows Vista and then mailing Microsoft: "Hey, my game doesn't work any more, fix your Operating System". Now to the main reason I closed this bug: Please go to http://packages.ubuntu.com and search for 'kiba-dock' in all ubuntu releases. You'll get a message that no package was found. This means that this package is not part of the official Ubuntu archive and that's why we don't support it. If you want support for kiba-dock from Ubuntu then please request the package to be included in the Ubuntu Archive. > 3. "The package you're using was built for an older Ubuntu release and you're trying to use it in Karmic." > > *Older Ubuntu release?????? Are you serious? Karmic was just released. It's not even six months old and you're trashing it as an older release? Again; Whats wrong with this picture? [See above] > _____________________________________________________________ > 2. "I then downloaded the source code and built the application on the > current development version of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) which I'm using > right now (I don't have a karmic pc anymore) and kiba-dock works perfectly > fine there." > > * I want to know why you're trying to correct an issue in Karmic by using > Lucid Lynx? Lynx isn't even released yet and you're using it to troubleshoot > Karmic? Does anyone else see a problem here? This does not make sense.

Do you buy Chevy parts to work on a Volvo also? > ____________________________________________________________ > Ok, thank you very much that you're annoyed at the fact that I try to help the reporter in finding the issue even though I have no official reason to do so. As the Ubuntu bug fixing policy requires a bug to be fixed in the current develpment version (Lucid Lynx right now) before it might be fixed in a stable release (Karmic in this case) I decided to try it there first as I'm using it right now. After the reporter provied the link to the deb file I tried a karmic live session too after all and here are my results: Lucid: .deb: BROKEN source: WORKS Karmic: .deb: BROKEN source: WORKS so, I'm led to believe that this is an issue with an outdated package and the fact that the package is intended to be used on Edgy Eft supports this. > I'm sending a copy of this to PC world, Maximum-PC, CNET, Computer > World, Linux Pro, Linux Magazine, Microsoft and the new CEO of > Canonical.

And I'm in no way saying that your post is a rant, as my reply isn't one too. -- Graphics not rendering text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
