Comment 10 for bug 198162

I've been using this feature for a long time and found it very helpful--on the theory that the Ubuntu people actually wanted to improve the software by making it easy to report bugs. Now I see that this new problem was discovered, reported, and marked to be ignored two months ago.

Excuse me, but making it easy for regular users to help you improve the software ought to be more than "low importance".

I was actually going to report a couple of very serious bugs that I can now confirm have *NOT* been fixed in Hardy. After bouncing into this bug and then struggling into Launchpad, it seems like a waste of time now, and I'm planning to blow it off, except to note:

These three bugs affect at least one model of Sharp computer, but since it's one of their standard Mebius models it probably affects many others. The most annoying old and still unfixed bug is in the network initialization. The most serious and dangerous bug is the white screen of death, which I just encountered for the first time under Hardy. (It does seem that Hardy may have lost less system information in the crash. Either that, or the new crash recovery with the scandisk works better.) The third bug is a fairly serious non-standard configuration of the HDD that impacts gparted. I do have a workaround for this one, so I should try to find that open bug report...
