LiveUSB  
Written by Taku the 28 Feb 08 at 14:35. Global category: System. Implemented
cdroms are slow, don't allow to modify their content easily, they are weak and not as easy to carry as USB keys.

It would be great to provide Ubuntu as a liveUSB just as Mandriva does. We should be able to carry our distribution on any computer, manage our preferred settings (do I want binary drivers enabled ? what is my preferred resolution ?), etc.

The thing is not to make something transportable, but really a nomad system that could be used just the best way as it could on any computer.

Developer comments
This was implemented by two separate projects! Both Usb-creator (see the blueprint) and Usblive (see its website) allow you to build a live USB system on Intrepid.
The first one is available on the repository, and usblive in this PPA.

Fix compatibility with webcams and microphone  
Written by dragonx the 28 Feb 08 at 17:30. Global category: Multimedia. New
In many cases, I can't configure my webcam or I have problems with the microphone. Now I can use my webcam but only with V4L2 and only 3 programas detect my webcam. It's a good idea can use my webcam in all programs as camorama.

Developer comments
That's pure driver issue in the first place. A big plus is to recommend UVC-based webcams to users, since it takes a lot of work off the shoulders of driver-developers. On the
integration-side proper support for v4l/v4l2 in webcam-related applications needs to be solidified. The ideal application to polish up is cheese of course.

www.ubuntu.com should be in more languages, not just english  
Written by soyporti the 7 Nov 08 at 05:25. Related project: ubuntu.com. New
If ubuntu wants to be available to most of the people, why is the www.ubuntu.com web page only in english?
To request a free cd you need to understand english someone told me today.
Let's fix this.
