Since the current flash-nonfree package is already relatively unstable (esp. on AMD64), we should consider packing a flash-nonfree-10beta for this early release. Of course, the beta shouldn't replace the current version, but the option should be available.

The package should conflict with flash-nonfree so the two aren't installed simultaneously, and should do the work of automatically fetching the latest beta from Adobe.

Manual install instructions and other details here:

This is currently my favorite feature in Amarok, Rhythmbox's KDE equivalent. Rhythmbox's Internet Radio selection is rather pathetic in comparison and the current configuration forces me to hunt down the address of and add each of my favorite stations individually, rather than searching the entire station listing internally as with Amarok.

With proper MTP support being added with Hardy, I am finally able to use my MP3 player with Linux again. I have switched back to Rhythmbox, but find myself missing this feature. Perhaps this could be handled in a layout similar to the LastFM plugin?

Thank you.

Nautilus is Ubuntu's default file management software. There is no reason why you should need to open countless Nautilus windows to manage your files. It is time to bring tabs from your web browser to your file browser.

- Integrity check. When you select this option, Brasero will include a checksum file in the media burnt. Perhaps the file should be stored in a .brasero folder in the home directory?
- There is no integrity check for burnt image files
- When burning an audio cd from mp3s the process takes forever, anything that can be done there?

Ubuntu have one, but it doesn't meet this features
(preload, speed, reaction, response and high priority, etc)
It would be perfect to kill the process or lower the priority to be able to continue working normally while ending "freezes"
In ubuntu we can not act quickly drift which results in inefficient that can be solved easily in this way

I think the cost in resources for this would be very tiny, since even very old computers had a smoothly running keyboard and mouse.

it would be great if I could have some kind of visual feed back like the old "VU" meters we used to have on old fashioned tape decks.

Getting skype to work or dealing with any "sound in" / "mic in" issues on Ubuntu has been a nightmare to trouble shoot. this would make it a bit easier.

Too much information up front, stark text-only display, painfully long countdown timer. What would be the alternative? Well, when a Fedora PC is booted up, the first thing the user sees is a graphical splash screen, and "Booting into Fedora (kernel version) in 4 seconds ... " The user can press a key to interrupt and select from kernel versions or alternative operating systems, or just let it boot into Fedora.

Can't we create our own attractive bootloader? Or, failing that, copy-and-paste Fedora's?

Ubuntu should provide a repository for up to date games for games that will always need the latest version to play online.

I realise the difficulties inherent in this; a daemon or service would eat up unnecessary CPU cycles, it's impractical to patch every program in existence to follow this behaviour, and most other ways of doing this have one argument against them or another. However, if this were presented as an opt-in behaviour, I believe it would benefit a fair percentage of people for a relatively small amount of coder output.

Ubuntu has emblems, which are not so bad, but in Hardy the emblems look all alike... Its an orange circle with the image in white... Which makes it impossible to differentiate one from another... Either go back to colorful emblems like gutsy or implement folder icons which I think should be done!

But it does not mention the version of the package.

I want it to mention the version the package that is about to get installed.
