They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This picture speaks for itself. Yes, its fugly. What the heck are those 3 bloody orbs ?

“Vish” says “the description didn’t include enough information”.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cant fix it because your description didnt include enough information.

Uh-huh. Riiight. Maybe he didn’t look at the image.

Well, he got a pretty descriptive bug report. Hilarious.

Overview:

Default Ubuntu wallpaper is not a wallpaper for an OS which aims to be the best looking OS on the planet.

Steps to Reproduce:

Install or upgrade Ubuntu 10.10

Expected Results:

Expecting a cool and awesome looking wallpaper for “the perfect 10” because Ubuntu is awesome and therefore the wallpaper should reflect this awesomeness.

Actual Results:

  • My eyes ! They’re melting !
  • The 10 is not perfect with this wallpaper
  • MacOS X “Snow Leopard” and Windows 7 have better default wallpapers
  • Does not inspire awe
  • No one likes it, I haven’t found any positive feedback on this wallpaper

Build Date & Platform:

Up to date Ubuntu 10.10

Additional Information:

  • Slows down the work of the Ubuntu Manual team
  • Was listening to “Metallica - The thing that should not be” while writing this comment

via Bug #625193 is not in Ubuntu: “Official 10.10 wallpaper is unappealing”.

Recently, I bought a pair of those new Western Digital Caviar Green drives. These new drives represent a transitional point from 512-byte sectors to 4096-byte sectors. A number of articles have been published recently about this, explaining the benefits and some of the challenges that we’ll be facing during this transition. Reportedly, Linux should unaffected by some of the pitfalls of this transition, but my own experimentation has shown that Linux is just as vulnerable to the potential performance impact as Windows XP.

Well it’s no secret that I’m a music fan and love to keep my music organized, and neatly tagged. ( Well, if you didn’t - now you do ). I’d posted quite sometime ago on how to keep your music well tagged and organized, so there’s pretty much no way that my files wouldn’t be tagged. Of course, there exceptions here and there but majority are tagged. So I was rather surpised today when Amarok , during playback wasn’t showing any metadata.
