I do not agree that this is just an openoffice bug. I know OO is causing it - and I am sure the OO-debuggers are working on it - but this is totally besides the issue.
I am not talking for myself here - I have no issue with shutting down via command line or disabling ooqs first. But other people will do. "Shutting down" a pc is a pretty fundamental thing. Everybody will expect this to work - even if nothing else does! I know that the only sensible importance for this bug is "low". Unfortunately there are importance levels for reputational damage to the Ubuntu System overall. This is a serious design flaw - making the system look stupid. The quick-starter is a widely used thing. It may be the first thing many people activate after an install. Then they can not shut down. I noticed on several occasions that a message flashes up for a fraction of a second (in am on an always fully updated 10.04) - telling you what is causing the failure of shutdown - but it disappears instantly. You should always get feedback why the system is not shutting down - and ideally suggestions on how to should down anyway. It should happen in any case for any application that is causing the cancellation of a shutdown. ...unless you are happy with MS handling this way better. -- [ooo-build] OOo QuickStarter: unable to shutdown / reboot / logout when quickstarter is active https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562027 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
