AussieJohn Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hello FFI. After reading through the bugpage comments you posted the link too, all I can say is that the Mr Laurent, whoever he is , has the manners and pr abilities of a toad. I don't care if he is one of Mandrivas or KDEs teams, he is a pig. I truly don't know how Adam didn't totally blow his gasket. I am a fairly easy going person but if Laurent ( Doesn't deserve respected title of Mr) were to to speak to me like that face to face, I would have floored him and thought nothing of it. I ask everyone here at MUB to also view that discussion and see what kind of pig will be part of Mandrivas wish to communicate and interact more with MUB. With people like Laurent involved with Mandriva and /or KDE, I see a hard time for the future. Here is to Adam for his great effort on behalf of users. Cheers. John.

ianw1974 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I submitted a bug to Mandriva, and nobody bothered to look at it. Come to the conclusion of why I should bother to notify Mandriva of bugs when they can't be ar$3d to read/respond/fix them. Makes me wonder why I should put up with a distro that doesn't fix problems. And the attitude of the people in that link ffi posted, absolutely stinks.

ffi Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) I submitted a bug to Mandriva, and nobody bothered to look at it. Come to the conclusion of why I should bother to notify Mandriva of bugs when they can't be ar$3d to read/respond/fix them. It depends, some people are very quick to respond and fix others, well....... I found a good way is to useally bug the devs on the irc channel, so thay take notice, but off course it shouldn't be like that @John, note those other arguing with Laurent were also Mandriva employees Edited January 8, 2007 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I have Fedora 6 on one of my machines at work. I should have submitted the bug for my soundcard on my new laptop when I had FC6 installed. I could have seen how quickly the guys at Fedora/Red Hat replied, and compared a similar response with Mandriva ;) Note, this isn't about how more up-to-date Fedora is, it's about the response and reply to a bug report, regardless of the release cycle for a distro.

AussieJohn Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks FFI. Well it seems that Mandriva should get rid of him (Laurent) , and I don't mean just rein him in, unless Mandriva want to collapse by having Adam and the other Mandriva guys walk out. This character Laurent is a walking timebomb. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This character Laurent is a walking timebomb. Cheers. John. He might be very good at what he does, ie program, fix bugs and package, his marketing, social and customer care skills are zero. But I think this should be a management thing, having pride in that your releases are as bugfree/ secure as possible by adding patches, even MS tries that. It's a shame really Mandriva has a lot of great features, which I miss in other distros I try and make me come back, which make it fun and easy to use, but also a lot of bugs which can make it frustrating at times and make me try something different from time to time (I can imagine people have the same experience driving french cars ) Anyway I hope Mandriva realises that after sales care makes your customer come back and spend more money in the future, even I realise that and I am well not the most socially apt and commercial person :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelcole Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Some one has his knickers in a knot over there.. God.. that is the worst collection of logs i have ever seen, "We dont get to see MS's." They obviously need to get a clear understanding of what the definitions are for each bug and the time lines required. I understand this is all pretty hard at times as i have been incharge of Service before. 1. Customer comes first. (Thus cooker should be second unless it is a Killer..) 2. Front end is what people see, Clean that and refine to perfection. 3. Don't speak out in public like that. 4. Refer to Above three items. 1. Security 2. Front end 3. Speed and functions Don't add speed or functions unless the two other items are first correct. PR is a job for all people we here are a PR arm as well. It looks like he needs someone above him to give focus and also assign help, on the back porting of issues. And untangle his knickers..

AussieJohn Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) I just downloaded the latest updates and low and behold, ZIP is back and working again. Thank you to the sensible Mandriva people who perserved with this against an ignoramus. I got the new kernel and kernel-source as well (2.6.17-8). All seems to be working nicely thank you Mandriva team. Cheers. John Edited January 9, 2007 by AussieJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
