Public bug reported:
I've been using the Gutsy Beta since Tribe 4. I've updated to all the
latest updates, and these are some of the problems I am STILL
encountering that should be fixed before release:
1. No 3d games under wine. They are all broken. Direct Rendering is
labeled NO, even though glxgears runs at 1500 fps. 3d performance is
also very bad in native games, such as Urban Terror. No Nintendo 64
emulation, no Quake 2 Evolved, No Quake 3.
2. I cannot make stereo 128kbps mp3 files from a CD. There is no
default option for this, and when I edited the preferences as the Ubuntu
Forums told me to, the resultant files make audacity, VLC, and Totem
crash. Ripping to WAV produces mono tracks, even though the source CD
is in stereo, so I can't import wav files to Audacity and make mp3s that
way, either. Seriously, an OS that can't rip CD to mp3 in 2 easy steps
is not a good OS.
3. I cannot get video off of a video camera. I have a TV card, and TV
time works great, but no other program will recognize the video and
record it. I've tried: Kino, Google Picasa under Wine, Virtualdub under
Wine, Pitivi, Zapping, and MythTV. Not one of them can record video
from my video camera over my TV card and onto my hard drive. Though the
video plays perfectly under TVtime. I even attempted to just play the
video under tvtime and record a screencast, but the resultant file was
jumpy and glitchy, and way too high res for youtube, anyway.
4. There is no camera wizard when I plug in a camera. This means I
can't get pictures off of the camera, which means I can't install Ubuntu
for my room mate, girl friend, mom, co-workers, grandpa, aunt, band
mate, or little brother.
5. There is no working Super Nintendo Emulator, Nintendo 64 Emulator, or
games under wine. Add a couple people I cannot put on Gutsy to the
list.
6. Compiz-Fusion crashes at random. The whole reason all those people
are INTERESTED in Ubuntu is buggy, crashes, and often just doesn't work.
It also won't start by default, I have to start it by pressing alt+F2
and typing "compiz --replace &"
So I think there is still a lot of SERIOUS work to be done before this
OS is released as something other than beta.
