** Description changed: - Hplip does not install correctly after 7.04 upgrade keeping /home. To - discover this required a lot of misinstalls then a long time searching - Launchpad bug reports. After discovery the fix requires reading all of - the trials and mistrials of all several reports to accumulate all of the - knowledge then guess as to how to best assimilate and order it in order - to do a proper install. In fact, I see that a source fix has been - uploaded to Gutsy and failed to install on every platform. - It seems to me that the best way to insure the progress of Open Software is to have a bug fix repository such as Launchpad and every time something is fixed to give a step by step how to for installing the fix. Perhaps this should be in a tab beside the Answers tab called "Solution path" or "Step by Step Howto." It seems to me that one or more developers who installed sw and then fixed a bug in it could write up a little step by step howto in a very few minutes. I know most users will not read all of the steps, mistakes, progress, backtracking, etc. that goes on to identify a problem. They are even less likely to be able to remember and implement those steps that were productive while discarding those that were backtracks, mistakes, and irrelevant. I have been a developer who was shielded from users. But here were we are comparing a few minutes of one person's time to provide a little step by step against a much longer period of time for each and every user affected. -- Step by step howto instead of Launchpad scattered answers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
