Agreeing with the last several posts. This seems to be a growing trend- the Milestone is more important than actual system stability/usability. This became very noticeable to me with Hardy, which has major network usability issues that still haven't been fixed in Intrepid.
Issues like this may be just annoyances to those of us who have used Ubuntu and other releases for awhile, but they are deal-breakers to any potential NEW users. Having fancy Compiz-Fusion graphics may wow them at first- but when they realize other things they actually NEED (like good- quality sound and being able to shut down) don't work- they look at other distros or abandon Linux altogether. This is a bug that has serious consequences for ongoing system stability (including the real potential for data loss). Some of the work-arounds work for SOME people, but they aren't a very good long-term solution, and would be beyond the scope of the average "new" Ubuntu user. I really love and appreciate everything the Ubuntu developers do, but I feel someone is driving the priorities in the wrong direction. -- MASTER storing ALSA mixer element values during shutdown hangs nondeterministically if non-loopback network interfaces are still up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
