Fix Suspend and Hibernate   forum
Written by tighem the 28 Feb 08 at 17:22. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Suspend and hibernate still seems to be a big issue based on forum posts. Really focus on fixing it, even with proprietary drivers.

Provide a simple graphical interface to manage _any_ type of network connection

Written by Alan Pope the 28 Feb 08 at 13:50. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
At the moment it's possible to manage traditional wired and WiFi connections using Network Manager. To connect via a modem, a 3G/GPRS card, over bluetooth to a cell phone or via USB to another device requires that the user installs extra packages, and does a fair amount of configuration that isn't found in Network Manager.

A single unified tool should be provided which allows the user to connect to a network (or internet) via any supported method. It would also be useful to provide an extension to this tool to manage firewall rules and network connection sharing.

It would make ubuntu much less intimidating for windows server admins if there was a gui which allowed configuation of common network services such as:

web
ssh
mail
database
vpn
dhcp
ldap
dns

Some of these are easier than others but I have seen very little work on this front and I think it will help win over windows admins.

Too often I have to select images with cryptic file names from a file chooser. Because I can't see the images I typically have to open the folder I am browsing separately so I can find image I am looking for, remember the cryptic name, and return to the file dialogue to select the file I want.

This could be easier if their was an option to view thumbnails, or to at least preview the image.

Developer comments
File preview is now in Hardy.

Talk with FSF.org to legitimate translated GPL/LGPL  
Written by Andrei Zhekov the 9 Mar 08 at 11:17. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
There is a problem with GPL/LGPL in my country (Russia) and may be in others. Our law dictate to approve only licenses written in the native language but FSF admits only the English variant. So, this problem is slowing down in some manner the convertation of the market to open source in my country. Please fix it!
