Ubuntu 10.04發(fā)布日重大bug將影響多系統(tǒng)用戶
預(yù)期是今天發(fā)布的，從午后開始刷屏，但是一直沒有看到新的發(fā)布。從ubuntuforums.org 終于看到了一則消息，在28日發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個bug。具體信息請參見這里，而這個bug的頁面討論是非常有意思的。這個bug是說在雙系統(tǒng)環(huán)境中，安裝成功重新啟動后，沒有創(chuàng)建另一個系統(tǒng)的grub菜單，因此用戶會發(fā)現(xiàn)另一個系統(tǒng)不見了。
具體信息請參見：https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/570765
Release note text added:
== Other operating systems may be missing from GRUB menu after installation ==
The desktop installer may fail to create GRUB menu entries for other operating systems in some cases. This is due to incorrect interaction between some components of the installer. To correct the problem after installation, run the following command: {{{
sudo update-grub
}}}
Alternatively, the first kernel update after installation will automatically correct this as a side-effect, and we expect to fix it in the installer as well for 10.04.1. (Bug:570765)
即是說在安裝完成后執(zhí)行一個修補命令：
sudo update-grub但是，很快Nicolas Delvaux發(fā)表了自己的看法：
I think it's not enough.
How many newbies will install Lucid and think that their windows has been removed?
This is a far more important bug than you seem to think, and asking to run "sudo update-grub" is not quite user friendly...
(and we often say that the first feeling is the most important)
The best workaround for me (cause there is no way to delay the release) may be to release a dummy/no-change upgrade (grub? kernel?) that will force grub to update.
This have to be done now, so the update will be available when people reboot for the first time (and if possible as a security update, so that update-manager pop-up on the screen directly).
Do you see my point?
意思是說，這樣做是不夠的，因為會有很多新手來安裝ubuntu，他們會找不到自己的Windows，這個bug的嚴(yán)重性其實無法想象，而且運行這樣的修補命令對用戶并不友好，而我們經(jīng)常說的不正是用戶體驗最重要么。最好的方式就是立即解決這個問題，或者是在可能的情況下，在首次重新啟動時直接進行 安全升級。
于是Jeff Lane肯定了Nicolas Delvaux的說法，并將此bug的重要性進行了調(diào)整，Undecided → Critical：
+1 for Nicolas' point... this issue, small and seemingly easy to work around as it may be, is a huge factor in the user experience, especially from the standpoint of the new user. For that reason, this is a critical bug, even though it does not directly impact Ubuntu itself.
呵呵，這是個用戶體驗的大問題，尤其是從新用戶的角度來看更是如此，因此，這是個嚴(yán)重的bug，雖然并不會影響Ubuntu自身。
Jeff Lane在后面的說法也很值得稱贊：
we're all passionate about ensuring that 10.04 is the best Ubuntu and Linux release ever...
我們一直致力于確保10.04成為有史以來最好的Ubuntu和Linux版本
The point is that when a prospective new user first installs this and sees that Windows is gone (unless that first kernel update is going to occur BEFORE the first post-install reboot) he/she is going to freak out. The very first thought associated by that user to Ubuntu will be "OMG LINUX DELETED WINDOWS!"
問題是當(dāng)我們期待中的新用戶第一次安裝了Ubuntu，然后突然發(fā)現(xiàn)Windows沒了（除非在第一次重新啟動前立即進行kernel升級），用戶 肯定會瘋掉，他對Ubuntu的第一反應(yīng)一定是“Linux TMD刪除了Windows！”
新用戶通常不會去看什么release notes，這樣就會產(chǎn)生糟糕的第一印象，無論系統(tǒng)自身如何美妙，但是這種破壞已經(jīng)形成了。
。。。。。。
為了保證QA，萬不得已的情況下進行延期，我認(rèn)同這樣的決定，而且我也非常敬佩Nicolas和Jeff對于產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量和用戶體驗的觀點！
祝愿Ubuntu 10.04順利發(fā)布！
