Gli utenti hanno a disposizione alcuni pacchetti nuovi: *'''startup-tasks''' - definizione delle applicazioni che debbono partire all’avvio del sistema * '''system-services''' – definizione dei servizi essenziali del sistema * questi due pacchetti sono l’"initscripts" di upstart · '''upstart''' – daemon d’inizializzazione: event-based init daemon · '''upstart-compat-sysv''' – init di compatibilità per Sistemi operativi-V === Coordinatrice della Comunità Kubuntu === A Sarah Hobbs (Hobbsee), durante l’ultima riunione della Comunità, è stato assegnato il titolo di Coordinatrice della Comunità di Kubuntu. Chi volesse fornire il proprio supporto alla Comunità è invitato a “pingare” Hobbsee sul canale IRC che fornirà utili indicazioni su come iniziare. === Nuovo tema Ubuntu in Edgy === Il Gruppo Artistico di Ubuntu ha lavorato duramente ed ha presentato un nuovo tema di default, visibile sul sito: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Produce/Incoming/CurrentDefault == Aggiornamenti di Sicurezza == Dopo un paio di settimane di tranquillità, ci sono 6 aggiornamenti: * USN-343-1: bind9 vulnerabilities - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-343-1 * USN-342-1: php4, php5 vulnerabilities - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-342-1 * USN-341-1: X.org vulnerability - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-341-1 * USN-340-1: imagemagick vulnerabilities - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-340-1 * USN-339-1: OpenSSL vulnerability - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-339-1 * USN-338-1: MySQL vulnerabilities - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-338-1 Le segnalazioni sulle vulnerabilità vanno indirizzate a: security@ubuntu.com oppure registrandosi all’indirizzo: http://launchpad.net == Nuove Applicazioni In Edgy == GNOME 2.16 vede la luce questa settimana in Edgy. Gli Uploads sono iniziati il 3 settembre fino al 7 settembre. Sebastian e Daniel del Gruppo di uploading hanno iniziato il loro lavoro di buon’ora con l’intenzione di completare il pacchetto di GNOME. [[BR]] E’ stato risolto il problema della finestra di pop-up di richiesta di aggiornamento che appare all’introduzione di un CD con Ubuntu 4.10 in un sistema già aggiornato alla versione 5.10. [[BR]] Michael Vogt ha finalmente risolto il problema con notifica 0.43.1.[[BR]] Mattias Klose ha continuato il suo lavoro su Python 2.5, con l’uploading di una grande quantità di pacchetti che saranno operativi con la nuova versione del programma. Non è previsto l’inserimento per default di Python 2.5 in Edgy, in quanto non è stato ancora rilasciato, lo sarà in futuro tra gli archivi. Michael Vogt ha preparato le sue raccomandazioni per gli spec della settimana. Con Colin Watson ha convertito il seed del desktop di Ubuntu per consentire agli utenti gli aggiornamenti del medesimo senza dover rimuovere tutto il meta-pacchetto. In futuro sarà disponibile anche per le versioni di Edubuntu, Kubuntu e Xubuntu. |

| Nuovi temi musicali di apertura e chiusura di Edgy sono stati aggiunti al pacchetto dei suoni. Pete Savage ha creato nuove musiche per accompagnare i temi di Ubuntu. === Edubuntu: Aggiornamenti === LTSP si è arricchito ulteriormente in questa settimana. Oliver Grawert ha effettuato l’upload di ltsp 0.99, che attiva la sessione ed il login in LDM, gestore delle firme per “thin clients”. In aggiunta, nuovo codice è stato generato per Edgy, ltsp-dhcp-autogeneration, all’interno di ltsp 0.100, che comprende il lavoro del Gruppo Debian LTSP. === Kubuntu: Aggiornamenti === Packages of the first KDE 4 development release are now available for Edgy from kubuntu.org and will soon be appearing in the Ubuntu archive. These are very much for developers and testers only, good luck with them. More information can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-3.80.1.php Over the past several weeks the KDE Guidance team has been working on usability of the tools, which has resulted in several straight-from-SVN uploads by various Kubuntu developers, including Anthony Mercatante. Meanwhile they have also been busy improving the search feedback in System Settings, and improving the layout of the gamma tool in displayconfig, both now available in Edgy. On the horizon is a new power-management applet. You can read more about that at http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=631. |

Informazioni
- Dopo circa un anno di collaborazione come suggeritore, dopo aver firmato il codice deontologico di Ubuntu, che adoro, e di tester e diffusore di Ubuntu Breeze prima, e subito dopo Beta Tester e diffusore di Dapper Drake 6.06, ora 6.06 LTS, mi decido, a presentarmi.
- Sono un ragazzo di 62 anni, sono in pensione da 6.
- Ho il pallino per l'informatica, per le lingue, per i rapporti sociali.
In questo anno di attività ho collaborato a tutto quanto ci fosse di traducibile e di difficile fosse presente sul Wiki e su Rosetta
- Ho dovuto superare molti ostacoli connessi alla difficoltà degli strumenti messi a disposizione, molto validi, una volta acquisito il loro funzionamento.
Sapere che è in preparazione Edgy, mi sta notevolmente eccitando
Tra le cose ridicole che amo sottolineare, è l'inizio della traduzione di un programma che nulla aveva a che fare con quanto richiesto nella ML Open Beagle Howto (calcolo evolutivo EC), mentre la richiesta era orientata ad un motore di ricerca il Beagle, appunto, molto più semplice ed in sintonia con Ubuntu......
Open Beagle Howto: ho iniziato la traduzione del programma di calcolo evolutivo EC come richiesto da un messaggio ricevuto nella mailing ubuntu-i10n...eh!...eh!...equivoco grossolano....altro che calcolo evolutivo....qui si parla del cane da caccia 'Beagle, ottimo motore di ricerca!!!!

Infamous Bugs
How to Help Kill A Bug that Annoys you.
There are times when an application does not work as expected. In some cases this is a bug. Report them, this makes your software better.
When to find bugs
The best time to find a bug is early in the programs lifecycle as it is being prepared for the next release, not right at the start but the first snapshot that is taken of the development cycle. You should look at the critical applications in your distro that you use and check they work during the beta cycles. This allows developers iron out the issues before the next release. With the exception of the LTS software we don't expect to see problems resolved after a release is issued, unless it is a security issue. (More information here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases )
==== How to report them =====
The report should be done as soon as the program terminates incorrectly.
What you need to report.
Information about what you as the user were doing or trying to do before the error occured. What the expected behaviour was, what the actual behaviour of the program was. What error messages if any occured, all of them is a good starting point.
To report bugs on Ubuntu, get an account on http://launchpad.net, find the package in the version of ubuntu you have and share the information you have. It is better to report half correctly and let someone else come along and confirm it.
Comments can be added after the initial edit, in fact you may be asked for more detail after you report.
Have a look at a few bugs on launchpad to get a feeling for what is expected.
What _Not_ to do.
Report "Program X is broken", this is not a fault report, it is in fact a "faulty bug report", i.e. it is useless. It lacks the essential ingredient, appropoitate information.
