Release candidate live cd report

[Wouter Stomp]

Hi,

Just downloaded, burned and tried the rc live cd and overall it is
working great. But there still are some issues which I think really
need to be fixed in the following week:

- About ubuntu doesn't work
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16982

- The lock screen function did nothing (it is disabled) but it is
still in the menu... a little bit confusing, clicking on something and
nothing happens.

- A few of the best and most popular screensavers ubuntu ships with
(really slick screensavers from the rss-glx package) don't show up in
the xscreensaver dialog, it would be a shame too ship the package but
having people not be able to use them.

- Browsing from the disks manager lets you browse as root, we might as
well put a link to 'sudo nautilus' in the menu... Everywhere you are
advised against doing too much things as root/sudoer and here it goes
all unnoticed, there is no sign at all that you have sudo rights. I
would suggest removing the browse button as a temporary solution for
breezy if this isn't fixed.

- The disks manager doesn't mount ntfs partitions properly. If this
isn't going to be fixed for breezy final, a notice that you won't be
able to mount your windows partitions with it would be nice as a
temporary solution, especially because this is the tool a newbie will
try to use to access his windows partitions.

- The windows part of the cd contains old versions of all programs
(firefox and thunderbird 1.0.2, openoffice 1.1.4 etc.)

- The faq guide mentions synaptic as the easiest way to install
software and advises to install all the programs mentioned in the faq
guide with it, ignoring one of the best new features of breezy!

- Faq guide: tells you to install realplayer manually instead of from
the multiverse repository

- Faq guide: upgrading ubuntu is upgrading from breezy to breezy
instead of dapper and forgets to mention to have ubuntu-desktop
installed

Besides all that my networking still doesn't work but that is probably
not to be fixed in one week time.
Really hoping to see these things fixed this week :-) Keep up the good work!

Wouter.
