[ubuntu-uk] more issues with 8.10

[Ian Pascoe]

Just to build upon Alan's note about adding yourself to an existing bug, in
a recent Ubuntu news the Launchpad guys had introduced a new "Me Too" tab to
enable developers to gauge the quantity of users affected, without having to
wade through lots of me too type notes.

Obviously  if you wish to add further detail to an existing bug, you would
still need to follow the normal process.

To be honest, I'm going to be sitting with the Heron for a little while yet
as from Mark Shuttleworth's original description of where he wanted Ubuntu
to go, lots of new things were going to be added to this release, especially
as it's also a catch up release after the LTS Heron, so I was kinda
expecting a number of naughty things happening from initial release!

Ah even better. The original poster can subscribe to that bug and thus
get notified of any workarounds (other than those already published).
Personally i can think of another way to get the CD out, but that
would require a reboot.

Well from reading the link you posted it _is_ possible to get the CD
out of the drive using the workaround published.

I'm quite staggered that you think an entire OS release should be
delayed for this! I personally use my CDROM drive once in a blue moon.

I know each person has their own experience/issues with the system and
has their own perception of the importance of those issues. But
really, this one can't possibly be classed as "critical" by any
sensible measure.

Cheers,
Al.
