  * Flexible way of configuring screen still missing (general linux problem). An application for doing this would be nice. Especially to assist projector and TV configurations. Something like nvidias configuration utility, but general and on-the-fly.   * Flexible way of configuring screen still missing (general linux problem). An application for doing this would be nice.

With gutsy beta alot of issues turned up. People are reporting being confused, the menus and desktops doesn't show up everywhere. Not all functions are easily found in the configuration tool. Well, have to wait until non-beta before one can one about it, but I sure liked the good old beryl setup better.

Issues

Things I have issues with currently. Will do something about them sometimes.

  • MultiSync, included but not maintained: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multisync/+bug/44374

  • A method for picking sun-java as dependency for all java application instead of the bad working gcj.
  • Automatic install of 915resolution for graphics cards requiring it.
  • Add a pairing utility for bluetooth HID devices, currently non-existant, enable HIDD if installed.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BetterBluetoothSupport https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BluetoothMouseSupport

  • Split gnome-games into many packages, it's just a clutter right now.
  • Include easy-ubuntu or create something similar!
  • Automatic install of gsynaptics for computers with synaptic touchpad.
  • Set a maintainer requirement cycle, to keep packages up to date and to reconsider maintaining them perhaps.
  • Flexible way of configuring screen still missing (general linux problem). An application for doing this would be nice. Especially to assist projector and TV configurations. Something like nvidias configuration utility, but general and on-the-fly.

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/displayconfig-gtk ["DisplayConfigGTK"]

  • Start writing true change-sets for the update-manager so that users can what will actually change when they update software, especially known big bugs which users are waiting for.
  • Dig into the all-to-usuall sound issues. Many application has problems with this and users are confused when some media is played back loud while others are silent.

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/gnome-soundcard-configuration-gui

  • Fix the video support. It is very rare that totem-gstreamer (default player!!!) can play media.

Desktop effects issues

With gutsy beta alot of issues turned up. People are reporting being confused, the menus and desktops doesn't show up everywhere. Not all functions are easily found in the configuration tool. Well, have to wait until non-beta before one can one about it, but I sure liked the good old beryl setup better.

  • Unlock screen does not get focus if focus stealing prevention is set to high
  • Some applications can't get DRI when compiz is running
  • Change the video output (to opengl) for movie players when using compiz

Games I'd like to see included

Dell XPS M1210 hints

  • Packages: 915resolution i8kutils gnome-bluetooth bluez-gnome bluez-utils gsynaptics
