@Veron: thank you. But, as with all workarounds, the users need to know the workaround exists.
I find it very sad to see insights such as VanillaMozilla gives rejected. Shoot the messenger. @Reinhart: we have to disagree on what an "average user" is. Certainly the kind of beginner I sometimes help, just interested in a safer replacement for Windows, with which to do web browsing and mail, no, those users will never use the command line, let alone ffmpeg specifically. But on my local user group mailing list it's not unusual for ffmpeg to be mentioned (it's highly thought of, by the way). That's a list that's mainly read by Linux users who are not developers, and few are really comfortable with the command line, but they are willing to try advice that others have vetted. And when they see warnings that actually they don't need, since they don't understand them they get jittery. That superuser discussion is excellent. I especially like the comment "however the option -show-banner would be nicer than to hide it". How very true. To a developer low on empathy that provokes "Huh, show or hide, no difference, same functionality". But for a user that's a very big difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730159 Title: ffmpeg library configuration mismatch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ffmpeg-extra/+bug/730159/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
