[…] Ubuntu Podcast from the UK LoCo: S03E21 – The Piper’s Price (podcast.ubuntu-uk.org) […]
just listening to ‘midnight flyer’ – whats up with Ubuntu fanboys ? ‘deleting KDE’ ? those idiots on another UK linux podcast were deleted from my podcast feeds because of KDE hate. seems to be a pointless remenant of the ‘desktop wars’ of years ago. its all free software, and petty-minded desktop snobbery still advances no free or open source development, do BSD users sneer at Linux user ? – there is plenty intrinsically wrong with old fashioned GTK too, but the desktop wars ended years ago, didn’t you hear ?
One of your contributors complained about finding a bug with Grub2 and being unable to get a solution or even an answer for the Ubuntu community. I can only echo the frustration and add that it gets even worse when you have found a workaround and published it both on launchpad and on askubuntu.
Please tell the person concerned that he might find the solution at how-do-i-get-my-machine-to-boot-with-a-grub-out-of-disk-error or by looking at Bug #649345 on Launchpad.

I just wanted to apologise to Alan Bell for not having spent enough time looking at his Overview project – our discussion on the show sort of descended into a debate about whether the Prezi style of presentation format is effective or not, and overlooked his actual project to “build a better Prezi” using OpenGL on Ubuntu. I like the look of this, a lot!
