A bug of Linux in Ubuntu 10.04
First of all, as a foreign English speaker, I may not be able to express myself complete. If you have difficult understand this mail, I feel sorry. I ran Ubuntu 10.04 on Virtual Box OSE, and find that the ACPI part of Linux Ubuntu 10.04 cannot work with Virtual Box OSE. System will hold up when loading Linux kernel. But if I send parameter 'acpi=off' to the kernel or disable the ACPI support of the virtual machine, the system will work. The version of Linux is '2.6.32-16-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 9 16:33:52 UTC 2010'. The Virtual Box OSE is running in Ubuntu 9.10 and its version is '3.0.8_OSE r53138'. Ubuntu 9.10 can work with this version of Virtual Box. So I think this problem can be sovled. I wish Lucid LTS will become better.

In my opinion, the patch of universe packages can hardly get the attention of users, because the universe packages never update during the support period of a release of Ubuntu ( at least after Auguest, 2009, when I start using Ubuntu). And many of universe packages release without testing. Some of them even cannot work.

Re: FW: RSS Reader in Lucid
In fact, RSS function is included in Firefox.

Is it a bug of kexec?
In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, when executing 'kexec -e', mounted file systems will not be umounted, and the caches/buffers will not sync to devices. So it may cause data lost. According to the man page of kexec, 'kexec -e' will call 'shutdown'. So I test out 'shutdown now', and I found that all processes are killed, but it does not perform umounting or syncing. So I think it is a bug of either kexec or shutdown. -- Best regards, Bill Lee -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
indicator-session randomly disappears
After I log on, the button may disappears. This situation happens randomly. Here is a screenshot showing this situation. By the way, I uses Ubuntu 10.04. -- Best regards, Bill Lee <>-- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
