You have got to be kidding me! I can't believe a bug of this level can exist for SO LONG...
The other day, I had to get some work done, and wanted distraction for my kid. So I put on one of his fav. Disney DVDs in my ubuntu (9.04) system... that should keep him busy... Lo and behold... a capable system with choppy DVD playback! I didn't have the time to look into it then, so I (guiltily) asked my (first- born) child to sit through choppy video. Its simple things like these that make me want to switch back to windows. Atleast I shouldn't have to fight with the system to get BASIC FUCKING SERVICES to work! I mean... come on guys... its 2009!! Ubuntu is *supposed* to be THE desktop linux system. ... sigh ... Perhaps 2009 is not going to be the year of the linux desktop, after all. Things have gotten from OK to bad to worse! I installed ubuntu a few years ago, and things were fine... with each new version, things have gotten noticeably worse! </rant> r...@komputor:~# hdparm /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: IO_support = 0 (default) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device r...@komputor:~# r...@komputor:~# hdparm -d /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device r...@komputor:~# r...@komputor:~# hdparm -d /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device -- [Hardy] No DMA nor 32bits IO support anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228302 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
