    Re: Package Requests

    I would say that on the 64 bits version a 32 bits Konsole should be included, that way linux32 and ia32 packages will not needed to be installed after a fresh installation. And, yes I'm also a SuSE user.

    Regards,

    MepisReign

    P.S.: Another request would be something like ConvertxtoDVD, we really need a software capable to transfer AVi files to DVD (subs included) without major hassles.

      The printer drivers from foomatic-db-gutenprint.

      It was a major hassle to identify this and have it installed.

      Rather I would leave out BloatOffice and download it once kUbuntu is installed.

      Alternatively a question in the install wizzard should ask if you want to install this file with additional printer drivers and then supply and Adept like solution.

        Please update KDissert to Semantik; KDissert has been obsoleted and replaced by Semantik.

          I know it's too late for any major changes to the 7.10, but perhaps you may consider it for 8.04 version: I'd also like to see a control center like in Mandriva (picture).

            @integr8e: I believe someone is already trying to package Semantik. Of course, it'll be too late for Gutsy.

            @Skydancer: Making something like drakconf (Mandriva Control Center) is a bit more complicated than simply packaging it. For one, MCC is very specific to Mandriva and Mandriva's tools/applications. Second, MCC is 100% fully GTK (KDE uses Qt). So that's going to be a tad more difficult.

              That's alright, as long as somebody's working on it, I'm good.

                  How about including the SeaMonkey suite in the repository (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/). With all the browsers and e-mail applications included in there, why not add this one, which is really good?

                    Re: Package Requests

                    Not a package request (sorry), but still something that I think would be very beneficial: Include a README file that contains information that the user needs to be aware of after installation. This file would open automatically once the desktop is loaded. An example of what would be included would be the instructions for removing the installation CD as an active repository (how many new users to Gutsy have experienced this problem, and didn't know why it was happening or what to do about it).

                      Re: Package Requests

                      Snowhog: I think that's a good idea, but I've come to understand that there's an unspoken rule against first-run startup wizards or windows in Ubuntu-land. So it would have to be done somewhere else or in some other way.

                      If you could start a new thread about this, maybe we can try to flesh out the details. I'm interested in something like this as well. Perhaps we can have it in conjunction with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuExtras idea.

                      Thanks!

                        Jacato -

                        Thank you for the comments. I'd be happy to start a new thread. Where would you suggest I put it?

                          Good question... Perhaps we can wait when Open Source has already opened up a Hardy subforum. Or maybe under Everything Else for now...

                            Tried SeaMonkey for real today - on one hand, it is nice, quick.
                            On the other - I feel it a little premature to include. For instance, to install themes, you have to do a lot of special things, as the scripts (most of them anyway) don't work for very many.


                            So, to put something like that in would, in my opinion, just add to the feeling of Linux being too complicated, for geeks only.

                            Later, when SeaMonkey is at the level of Firefox in user friendliness, I will go that direction.
