I understand you, Sebastien. But in my opinion the key is the word 'previously'. There are lots of things that were easily configurable in 11.04 and now those options are lost. I've given five examples in gnome- control-center: configure laptop lid, power button, screensaver, user groups, automatic login in unity-2d (or gnome-shell).
I'm an 'experienced' user and I can solve those kind of little misfunctionalities, but I'm pretty sure that new users can't solve those kind of problems. And I must think as a new user because I used to be a teacher in a linux course in my university. Last June we choose ubuntu 11.04 in the course, and everybody were surprised how easy, but also how configurable it was. We'll have a new course on next February and I'm not sure what distro/DE will use, because ubuntu 11.10 (moreover gnome3) is a big regression in terms of configurability. PD: sorry for my bad English, I'm Spanish. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880331 Title: Can no longer "shutdown" when laptop lid closes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/880331/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
