Surely those like Shuttleworth can't know about this bug? It is a scandal; Him preaching what a 'success' this release has been when such a fundamental piece of "inbuilt" functionality is being ignored in the state that it is. It would be unfortunate enough if this were just another release. But this is the LTS. This should be given more attention. Like others have said; How are we, as Ubuntu users, supposed to endorse and/or demonstrate a 'new' OS to a friend, colleague, or whatever, when we have to void such a fundamental piece of functionality ..... what excuse do we come up with when someone we are showing wants to test it?
What do we tell them, once they have installed, when they, the new user straight from windows, discovers that a simple 'copy CD' doesn't work?
