And here is an example of what happens to the underlying system when one sector of the dev community does not listen to or consider the needs of others when changing or removing legacy(their words not mine) functionality. In customising and stripping away "unnecessary" stuff Ubuntu has determined the way it will be in all linux (at least all who use gnome or kde, or udev/udisk) in the example below. They have removed features that are not considered useful to Ubuntu without considering the many outside Ubuntu consquently affecting the many who have customised it to suit their own cases (supposedly one of the key benefits of OSS) and now have had their systems broken by this update. He sums it up nicely (and without bitterness) at end of his message: "I guess the people who care about this type of correctness are using BSD or Arch and have less say or gentoo and can just recompile" It doesn't come down to knowledge or experience anymore, it is numbers that call the shots in that dev world. It is no wonder there are so many fundamental problems, they are chasing their tails just like MS and Apple do :) Ubuntu has definitely fallen into that trap, just hope it doesn't take linux with it :D On 04/12/11 05:44, Kevin Chadwick wrote: > On Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:03:37 +0800 > pomhg wrote: > >> Hi,I've got same problem here.
