"Post comment and vote yes / no" buttons  
Written by frandavid100 the 19 May 08 at 10:30. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. New
Sometimes I post a comment on an idea I strongly agree / disagree with, and forget to vote it. I'm just like that.

I think that, when you comment on an idea you still haven't voted, there should be two buttons:

-Post and vote YES
-Post and vote NO

That way votes wouldn't be lost by accident, like in my case.

linux is NOT user friendly enough  
Written by average-joe the 29 Feb 08 at 07:58. Global category: Others. Not an idea
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...

Hardy Heron must me released in June 2008 because of Firefox 3.0  
Written by JoeLeKiffeur the 3 Apr 08 at 20:35. Global category: Others. Won't implement
(Sorry for my bad English)

I know, it's a very important decision, but if Ubuntu will support Firefox 3.0, the Mozilla's browser must be STABLE.
Firefox 3.0 is planned to be released in June, that's why I ask to report the version of the new LTS release.

Please consider this idea seriously.

Thank you.

Allow Root Login  
Written by cembree the 29 Feb 08 at 14:42. Global category: Others. Won't implement
I started my computer life on single user systems where I was essentially always root. AppleDOS, DOS, Windows 3.x, OS/2 all allowed me to control my system without sudo or su.

I understand the risks, I understand why some users should not be root. I understand I cannot use ubuntu without this feature.

chat support and very optional phone support for selected country,city  
Written by dragoninsane the 1 Apr 08 at 19:47. Global category: Others. New
ubuntu should support chat not just irc but also on
other popular messenger like yahoo.IRC seems very
complicated and geeky to use.new users from windows
never used IRC so how u expect them to shift also YAHOO
is very easy to use and popular too.supports chat room.
we can create room here in YAHOO rooms>
Computers and internet>>linux and unix>>Ubuntu users
and developers official room.these rooms are for only help
with ubuntu and its derivates nothing else.
phone support first should be limited and on specific
time in week (sat 10 to sun midnight) with
toll free number.

Use English......  
Written by ghot the 27 Oct 08 at 00:31. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. New
The ONLY reason that Ubuntu does NOT rule the world, is that you insist on using ridiculous terms....

Xorg, sudo, etc.... With hundreds of thousands of words in the English language, I would think that the Ubuntu devs could come up with some better names. The un-intuitive naming convention used in Linux, is the ONLY reason I still use Windows XP. The ONLY reason!

Microsoft is currently digging its' own grave. It would be wonderful if Linux (any form) just gave MS a little push...into that great "Bloated OS--place in the sky"

The only other improvements I can see are:
1. Have the Linux kernal/loader update, update the boot screens listing...itself. It should show only ONE entry on the OS choice screen....NOT a list of every loader update we've applied. (This may be fixed already...I'm mentioning this from my last try at Linux...aka v5.10 :) )
2. Make some sort of deal with driver providers, app or game devs, MS, etc...to allow Linux into the: apps, gaming mainstream. This lack of support for 99% of the worlds' most used programs, is the ONLY reason that Linux is NOT a household word...yet :)

I have dreams at night, that one day I will be able to install Ubuntu and then install ANY program or game, written by ANYone, and have it simply install and run flawlessly.
