since no survey has ever been done, it is impossible to know how many people this affects. To assume that the number is trivially small is a serious mistake.
Ubuntu seems to be going the way of microsoft... hiding everything from the user and making even simple things terribly difficult, with this straight-jacket mentality. My grandmother is never going to repartition her disk and install ubuntu. so trying to design the interface for people like my grandmother and at the expense of more technical users is a no-win situation. I've been promoting ubuntu for years and even converted a couple of businesses to using it (successfully). But it is bugs like this and the plymoth mess and the new cellphone like ubiquity interface, that have me and *thousands* of others on the very brink of abandoning ubuntu. Canonical claims to care, but nobody seems to be listening!!! In fact, I'm on my way now to go download some other distros, because sadly I just can't keep fighting with this. Natty is the end of the line... As many others have tried to tell you, Natty is your Vista.... but all people are getting in response are deaf ears. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664526 Title: setting nomodeset in grub, if live session was started with nomodeset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
