Launchpad News

Data mining in Launchpad

Inspired by trouble that users have had due to misconfigured grub configuration files, Brian Murray shares that Launchpad facilitates developers by letting them grab attachments from bug reports to analyze them locally with the lp-grab-attachments tool, part of the lpltools package. He uses the grub2 package as an example.

How bug information types work with privacy

Curtis Hovey writes that the current Launchpad beta adds information types to bug reports, a feature which is used to "determine who may [and may not] know about the bug". When a user files a bug they may select what security level the bug should be filed under.

Ubuntu One Vs Dropbox: Has Ubuntu One Lost The Personal Cloud Market?

Swapnil Bhartiya of Muktware does a review of Ubuntu One compared to several other available online storage options, including Dropbox, SkyDrive, Spider Oak and Google Drive. He notes that one "of the reasons Ubuntu One is not the preferred cloud for GNU/Linux users is that it's not available for other GNU/Linux distributions. Ironically it's available even for Windows (they are also working on a Mac client) but not for competing Linux distributions." Ubuntu developers claim that code is available and other distro developers can package Ubuntu one for their distrosbut Bhartiya argues that Ubuntu/Canonical is the one who shlould be in charge for packaging due to increment of Ubuntu one users.

Thanks for posting these. Being a new Ubuntu user I really enjoy reading the publication and so far, have never failed to learn something new.

@Ve I have been using linux for close to four years now. I love it all in all but Ubuntu has always been home base to me since it is where I legitimately started. I have since been all over the net in terms of distro hopping(Moving from OS to OS). I have found myself coming back home in the end.

@Elizabeth
I should have seen this sooner!

I enjoy receiving the latest in my email on each release.
Thanks :)
