In http://launchpad.net/bugs/359382 it was discovered that the bookmark
for the Ubuntu wiki in Firefox didn't take you anywhere useful. While
this particular issue has been resolved via a redirect it would be best
if we were to add "check default bookmarks" as a test case for most of
the web browsers that we ship. I was thinking of epiphany, Firefox and
konqueror.
Additionally, when researching this bug I noticed that Firefox seems to
have some default bookmarks at '/etc/firefox-3.0/profile/bookmarks.html'
so I imagine this could be automated possibly by checking the return
code of the url for the bookmark.
Thanks,

The defaults in epiphany are gnome, debian, debian bug tracker, planet
debian and search the web none point to ubuntu.
Konqueror has no bookmark fullstop
Firefox is the only internet client with bookmarks pointing at ubuntu.
But I figure that to be another issue all together

Hi,
I am trying to boot Ubuntu 9.04rc-amd64 via liveCD (USB stick) on a Lenovo
X200 laptop. Unfortunately, I cannot boot Ubuntu. I have been able to boot
Ubuntu 8.10-amd64 using an exact similar method. I have used usb-creator to
prep a USB stick, which I used for both 9.04RC as well as 8.10. Where do I
report this problem.
The problem with 9.04RC: Soon (just a few seconds) after the progress bar
appears, I am taken to a screen with a initramfs prompt. On trying to
reboot, not using apcioff in the kernel options, the progress bar appears
for a longer period, but I again get a initramfs prompt. This time I have
additional error messages:
[107.116068] usb 1-6: device not accepting address 10, error -110
[107.116115] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6
Thanks for your help.
Saurav

9.10 is schedule for release in the 10th month of the 9th year after
2000 - so October of 2009. It looks like[1] the final release
should be on the 29th.
