Hi list
For my bilingual friend who normally uses Mac OS, keyboard setup was
prohibitively difficult (even with me helping him) for him to use
Ubuntu.
Firstly, he is a MacBook owner. Secondly, it's the British keyboard
layout. As such his physical keyboard layout is slightly different to
the "usu

That's a bit of a silly argument.

Thanks, but this wasn't a sup
No, but I can tell you first hand that it's extremely annoying to have
to either make the three fingered acrobatics of Fn+Alt+F2 on a laptop
keyboard, or dig out a Terminal to run a simple command.

Hi Arne
Good to hear someone is working on a solution. Is there a blueprint or
something I can track?
Many thanks

I'm still not following. In October, 8.04 would have been the "beta"
for an imaginary 8.10 LTS release for 6 months. You can happily ignore
the fact that the real, bleeding edge 8.10 is released.
No?

I believe Mark proposed only a synchronisation on the six-m
WHY are we using a giant image? The only image we need is the small
Ubuntu logo. We should center it on a black background and be done
with it. If that needs changes to Usplash, let's do it!

No offence Marcin, but Gadu-Gadu is really only an issue if you are
Polish. I don't think it's unreasonable to concede that such a small
percentage of our user base will, in the absolute worst scenario, just
have to install Pidgin themselves.
Otherwise, help them build a Gadu-Gadu connection manag

I think there's little chance we'll be diverging from upstream GTK on
a component as important as this. I suggest you take this concept
straight to GTK.

PLEASE redirect your efforts towards online fscking. This whole idea
is absolutely horrible.

Because people are talking about snapshotting a FS in a potentially
broken state, fscking it in the background---whilst continuing to use
it!
Assuming that using a broken FS doesnt hose it (admittedly it
shouldn't), merging a changeset from a broken state into a repaired
state is a process which I
Reasonably fair point. It's just that that WOULD have been Hardy if
there wasn't a packaging oopsy wrt. connection manager dependencies.

ALL of this stuff should be on Answers.launchpad.net, but I will

Compiz limits its redraws usually, the benchmark plugin has an option
to temporarily disable the "frame limiter" whilst benchmarking. Check
that this feature hasn't been disabled in Compiz's settings.

A lot of people seem to misunderstand why Fx 3.0 was included in 8.04
when it wasn't final. The reason was that we had to support it for 3
years, so Fx 2 was not an option. As Intrepid is not LTS, we only need
to keep supporting 3.0 for 18 months, which is fine.
