Many games feature the ability to play with other people. However, the first thing the game will check for is to see if it is currently up to date.

When Ubuntu enters version freeze, the games fall out of date, and it can be harder to play them online without finding a 3rd party update or compiling it yourself (Freeciv, Scorched3D, and Battle for Wesnoth to name a few).

This also creates issues when different distributions freeze at different times, so it can be hard to play with other Linux users.

Remove Mono and dependent applications from default Ubuntu Desktop CD. Mono occupies a significant amount of the valuable space on the live cd that could be used for translations and other things. Applications using mono use much more memory than their non-mono counterparts. Functionality can be provided by other applications that are just as good.

This will NOT remove Mono or any of the applications from the Ubuntu repositories, just the default Desktop CD. (Although removing them from the CD may mean they don't need to be in Main anymore)

This affects two applications included by default: tomboy and f-spot. Tomboy can be replaced by either sticky notes or zim and f-spot by gthumb.

This becomes especially useful with Hardy, which gives unrecognizable names to the unnamed partitions like "100 GB media" etc.

One of the great things about the Ubuntu community, is that it is truly global. Unfortunately because of that, there are language barriers to cross. I came across one idea (267) but couldn't understand it, since I didn't speak the submitters language. Sadly, some people voted the idea down, just because they didn't speak it. Likewise, non English speakers can't read my ideas. We should be able to read and vote on each others ideas without the added frustration of the language barrier.

Una de las mejores cosas de la comunidad Ubuntu, es que es verdaderamente mundial. Lamentablemente, debido a que, existen barreras lingüísticas para cruzar. Me encontré con una idea (267), pero no podía entenderlo, ya que no hablan el idioma peticionarios. Lamentablemente, algunas personas votaron por la idea, simplemente porque no lo hablan. Del mismo modo, no Inglés oradores no pueden leer mis ideas. Deberíamos ser capaces de leer y votar en las ideas de los demás, sin el añadido frustración de la barrera del idioma.

واحدة من اشياء عظيمة عن اوبونتو المجتمع ، هو انه عالمي حقا. وللأسف وبسبب ذلك ، وهناك لعبور الحواجز اللغويه. جئت عبر فكرة واحدة (267) ولكنه لا يستطيع ان يفهم انه ، وبما انني لا يتكلم اللغة في تقديم تقاريرها. ومن المحزن ان بعض الناس صوتت فكرة اسفل ، لمجرد أنهم لا يتكلمون. وبالمثل ، غير الناطقين باللغه الانكليزيه لا يمكن ان تقرأ أفكاري. ينبغي ان نكون قادرين على القراءة والتصويت على كل الافكار دون غيرها وأضاف الاحباط من حاجز اللغة. وقد ترجم هو اداة في : http://translate.google.com/translate_tools

Make installation of 64-bit on desktop easier. There are many obstructions such a Flash, Opera, Skype etc. And many MANY others...

Many users still use 32-bit Ubuntu just because they scare - complicated setup of 64-bit means less users > Less desktop users means less topics at support phorums > less help > more (unsolved) problems for new 64-bit users.

All new computers are 64-bit (Intel/AMD). Be more oriented to new "standard" desktop computers and take the advantages!

Yes, it's a 64-bit world ;-)

-they're old and showing capabilities and screenshots of Ubuntu 6.06

Broadcom wireless drivers are still common - see Lenovo V100 laptops etc, and having to fight with NDISwrapper or the terrible bcmxxxx driver is a terrible block for new users.

Ubuntu should now have the clout to get these companies to open up specs, especially for legacy hardware (as I believe the newer broadcoms work reasonably).

It would be great if there would be an image viewer included in Ubuntu wich has some simple and quick image editing options like KDE's Gwenview. I'm thinking about little features like crop/resize/rotate/mirror/flip and maybe adjusting contrast/brightness and being able to save it to the file. A perfect solution for this is GThumb.

I'm not talking about making GThumb the default image editor, I'm only talking about including it, so if people want to adjust there image a bit, they can choose to open GThumb by right-clicking on their image.

I know GIMP can do these things, but GIMP is a very advanced application. It would a lot easier to just open the item and to be able to quickly edit a small thing to your file.

I think this is only a good idea if it fits on the 700MB CD. That's our first priority.

I recently switched to linux mint, I must say it is very nice and based on gutsy 7.10.

They use the red hat liberation fonts by default and OMG It looks amazing.


The default ubuntu fonts are painful to look at once you know how good it can look.

If apps crash in linux most users have no idea where to look for the task manager.

On Windows pressing either Ctrl+Alt+Del or Ctrl/Shift/Esc brings up the Task Manager.
