Ubuntu-based multimedia distribution  
Written by Havocc the 29 Feb 08 at 09:34. Category: Multimedia. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
There is Kubuntu Xubuntu Edubuntu...
But is there a Mediabuntu yet?
It would be nice to have a distribution focused on Digital TV and Radio, VDR, video media playback, etc. with Ubuntu philosophy behind it.

Real-time Email Antivirus software for Ubuntu  
Written by 836v the 29 Feb 08 at 09:31. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Hello there,
Yes, an E-mail Real-Time Antivirus in Ubuntu would be good for. . Windows users!

Because, emails come from and go to Windows users so, even although Ubuntu users cannot be infected by windows virus, other users can be infected, indeed.

As well, the Antivirus could be used to scan Windows partitions in our PCs (and -even- to scan for possible linux virus!?).

Currently, real-time email antivirus are pretty hard to make it working or simply do not work in most if not all AV for linux.

Regards,
Victor

more reliable shutdown  
Written by dtphoto the 29 Feb 08 at 09:00. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
About once every three or four times the computer doesn't shutdown automatically. This problem has happened on 3 different computers of mine and never happens with Windows. It would be great if Ubuntu had the same reliability in this area so that we don't have to wait just to be sure that the computer is really going to be turned off. Thanks!

Vote only when you comment.  
Written by hellmet the 29 Feb 08 at 08:16. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
The voting feature is being abused at the moment, as its a feature that everyone sees the first thing, and are click-happy. It would be better if we were allowed to vote only when we also comment.

Invert screen colors at will  
Written by rooster the 29 Feb 08 at 08:07. Category: Graphics. Related to: Nothing/Others. Implemented
In Mac OS X you can invert the colors on screen at the press of a button. This is a really great option for tired eyes.

I'd like to see a super-easy way of doing this in Ubuntu (or the x windowing system) as well.

Make Ubuntu's default theme as cool as XP and Mac OS  
Written by IamSuperhero the 29 Feb 08 at 08:06. Category: Look and Feel. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Have different modes of install. Normal - as is current, Easy and Cool - The coolest but maybe not the fastest theme and all the cool apps. With 3D acceleration enabled etc.

linux is NOT user friendly enough  
Written by average-joe the 29 Feb 08 at 07:58. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
average person needs wizards across the board...

get rid of this package manager crap and make it easy with a installer wizard.
i had a look at a few pages and didnt see this on the list and its so important to linux being successfull.... why is it so hard to make linux user friendly?

help wizards for all is my call...

if it was easier to use more people would use it...its improved but not enough...

brainstorm: Hating other users  
Written by yman the 29 Feb 08 at 07:57. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. Won't implement
Give users the ability "hate" other users. When you "hate" another user, you automatically vote against anything posted by that user.

I think that allowing users to "love" other users would mean encouraging the creation of fictitious accounts that automatically support each other, so I am not suggesting it.

Developer comments
Let's not do this. Instead we'll add a 'report spam' button and repeat offenders posting spam or abuse will be visible there and can be banned by admins.
