i can't think of any "ubuntu" bugs i've encountered. all of them have been either application or hardware-specific.

Not really a bug but would love support for my umax astra 4450 scanner, wasn't expensive but does slides (tranpanancies). I've become known amaog relatives for being able to scan old slides, shame I have to boot into windows to do it.

Happy Christmas!

Shhhh the baby is sleeping

The suspend/hibernate problems that seems to bug 80% of ubuntu users :)

This is not an ubuntu bug it's a major openoffice.org one.

Random kde-app crashing ](*,) (not directly (k)ubuntu related)

When I open an app that requires root, this "thing" down in the lower panel pops up next to the window button that says "Starting Administrative." It drives me crazy because it stays there so long, AND slows down everything else!

No matter what I do, no matter how many guides I follow, no matter if I use ndiswrapper or the native, my Broadcom 4306 will NOT work. I can see wireless networks, but I can never connect.

Mery Christmas, I want wireless working =D XD

It may sound silly, put I'd quite like the numlock key to come on by default at startup without any mucking about.

This would really annoy laptop users ](*,)

My vote: suspend/hibernate.

YES! absolutely!,

I would really like to have the annoying mouse hanging problems I have on my dell latitude c810 fixed. Although I must admit it seems a lot better these days.

Merry Christmas folks

Again not really a bug, neither ubuntu related, but id like nautilus and metacity to feel just as fast as explorer en windows' window manager because its just feels TERRIBLY slow. Even though I got a friggin amd64 processor</rant>

Metacity wouldnt be a problem if beryl didn't eat all my (1 gig) memory in one hour. Beryl feels fast for five minutes, then it starts getting slow :/

Other than that, I love linux, ubuntu, gnome and kde and merry christmas :)

this is gnome/kde related. in kde it is easy to solve, in gnome i don't know.

Merry Christmas to all.

Yeah I know, and I even know how to fix it in GNOME, but I'd like it to work by default like it does in Windows and like it does on Mandriva using GNOME.

Who's "us"? Are you a developer?

How will this work? You just see how many votes a particular bug has in the thread...?

Bug #1 (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1)

But I think this one will require a bit more time. ;)

For me, I would like audacity to work with aoss. So that one can use Audacity without blocking all other applications from playing sound... on a system that has a soundcard that has not the ability to play multiple streams of sound.

Another Suspend/Resume vote here... I hope to get it working on my nforce4 and nvidia card.

You mean numlock automatically activated in Gnome on startup? Then, in Synaptic select numlockx.

Umm... can't think of any. Now if you said Windows Vista, that would be a completly different story. Even my wireless card works fine!

Bug: Enabling blobs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_blob) by default when they are not needed to get work done (eg: nVidia).
Fix: A little question asking users if they want to.
Workaround: Go with gnewsense (http://www.gnewsense.org/) or another Free distro (http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions).

This is not really a bug, but its much more annoying still- disable the default "shift+backspace" command for killing xserver-- its far too easy to hit both accidentally when you are typing fast.
