I no longer use Ubuntu and therefore cannot perform the task requested; if it is unimportant to the project as so many other bugs are, it is also unimportant to me. As there is no “closed” status for the bug tracker, I am marking this bug as invalid and muting future mails which might be generated from this bug.
In case anyone cares to know, it is precisely this treatment of allegedly supported releases that I will no longer use the Ubuntu distribution. I reported this bug against Ubuntu 10.10. As Ubuntu 10.10 is still a supported release, the correct disposition for handling this bug in any project that is properly managed would be to fix the bug as reported, and then do the relatively trivial work to backport or forwardport the fix (if necessary) to any other as yet supported releases. This mentality of attempting to avoid work because there might be some chance that it might have been fixed is something which I find to be born of the inability to provide adequate support for the distribution. There are distributions out there that have less in the way of both financial and community resources, and yet perform worlds better when it comes to responding to both requests for help and bug reports. Should a Launchpad admin see this, I wish for my relationship to all bug reports in the Ubuntu distribution to be severed. Failing this, I would like an administrator to mute all bugs that I carry a relationship to within the Ubuntu project, so long as I do not have a relationship to that bug in some other way; for example, there are bug reports against the AllTray project (for which I am the maintainer) that are also linked to Ubuntu, and I do not wish to have those bugs muted. Failing all of that, I will merely attempt to find eight to ten hours so that I can do it myself, but it’d be far more efficient and courteous if someone with the ability to do so would just do it directly. And if you have read this far, then I thank you for paying attention to my words, even if it means not paying any mind to the bug report itself. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596165 Title: Should auto-install cryptsetup when not present and encrypted media inserted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/596165/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
