Who needs a computer when you can have a exterminator in South Jersey, NJ. You'll be able to see your floor without having to see a bug everywhere all of the time?

Why does tar suck ass? In the good old days of BSD Unix, tar was a wonder! One could tar virtually anything and pipe it to a receiving tar that would unpack all nicely!

Now Linux (Linux Is Not UniX) came along and as you say tar is virtually useless!

Furthermore, one cannot collect a trace of tar output in order to see what went wrong, but in Ubuntu adding a pipe or even just an output file, and tar aborts!

My current problem is untarring a file in order to get _ALL_ the files, and it fails! All files that contain iso-8859-1 names get miraculously disappeared! Isn't this great!

My locale is LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1, etc.

When I list files all names show up in shells correctly! but tar has the files but cannot extract all yet!

Thank you!

Dude, your Blog saved my entire weekend after trying to spend it with making a simple backup using a Linux Live CD, and finally resorting to just dumping the whole freakin' hard disk with dd, because tar sucks ass, star has 10397 "Missing links", and ntfs-3g silently omits files with Umlauts...

So much about the "Server OS"...

Are you retarded?

File a bug report with proprietary vendor #798784324. If you are lucky you will get a response blaming Microsoft. If you then file it with MS and are extremely lucky MS will blame proprietary vendor #798784324.

At least with OSS you have a chance that someone, perhaps not related to the project, will release a patch. With proprietary crap, if the vendor won't fix it, you have two options:

1. live with it
2. Pay a competitor for their software that they won't support either.

I can't agree with you more. Developer(s) should never make open bug trackers. Although if they do, make sure to have some form of structure to each report... like forms with options that describe the location of the bug. But not some stupid ass forum-like crap...

AWESOME! MY TOTAL EXPERIENCE, & why I'll stick with XP.

Here's an example, paraphrased from the forum, relating to a printer-install:

'It's Xxxx's fault for not providing the drivers' - this is when the CUPS that worked in 'Frolicking Footballer' & 'Jingling Jabberwocky' no longer worked in 'Krippled Kitten'.

Later, having spent 27ds, 3hrs, 9mins, 43.988756968254823965secs in terminal, following the 28000 different suggestions offered by the forum members, none of which work; & suggesting that the problem lay with (an oversight in) the dev. of the latest 'stable' distro.

'You should address this problem to the developers then, rather than raise it on the forums.'

How arrogant is that!?

So: 'back' to XP(SP2) - exe. install - print a test page AND know how much ink is left - job done! No need for forums on a 9+yo OS that works superbly with a bit of hacking & debloating.

Bug status: SOLVED!

I won't even look at 'Languishing Lemur' when it arrives - OH! LOOK! The latest version is upon us already!

LOL, this post was hilarous. While tongue-in-cheek... it is very typical of such "debug" sessions. Mind you, this isn't just in the Linux community. I use a "professional" product called Second Life... and the above is very typical of their pJIRA process (a monkey-boy issue tracker if there ever was one). Typical stunts: knocking a serious bug from "showstopper" level to "critical" or "major" (while users are crashing right and left)... claiming the bug "can't be reproduced" when obviously the staff member hasn't even tried... stating "this isn't a bug, it's a feature" (won't be fixed)... LOL LOL LOL

Compare this to say, contacting one of my favorite companies with a bug via direct support ticket, getting a prompt response from staff saying, "Oops! We'll look in to this right away" and a fix within 48 hours.

Yeah... big difference there.

Man, you are totally right and I agree with your points.

Unless some corporation takes all this code that has been accumulated and makes a decent package out of it, by fixing bugs and removing unnecessary slack people made in their free time (useless reduntant text editors, filesystems, and windows systems nobody will use) the whole thing is a bust. We do NOT need more GUIs, and text editors, we need better update features, installers and a new X server. We need a new Office. We need a DVD authoring software. We need better 3D support. Why nobody fixes those?

- So, here you get it. In a couple of lines, i 've told you everything that sucks in linux.

The only reason Firefox and Apache succeeded is because the have one some short of a business structure. Most importantly, if something needs fixing, it WILL get fixed, and not rely on the INTENTION of someone fixing it. Someone has to FORCE people into fixing bugs and other mandatory stuff. Fixing bugs, providing a new X server, installers and ensuring compatibility between updates is -let's be honest- boring, so all these developers simply deny to do it, they are not forced or paid for. But it has to be done, someone is has to do it.

If it's not done, you get low quality stuff like Ubuntu, with tons of problems in updating, incompatibilities between updating, sloppy 3D support and bad installer. THE REASON: Nobody want to make better ones, and since they are not force to, they are not. So, with these critical compoments left forgotten becayse Ubuntu (and Linux Mint, in a lesser degree) becomes sucky.

- To me, linux reminds me the time I was a kid, well I would make nice drawings and shapes instead of doing my homework, because I didn't liked doing homework and I liked.

So, I challenge you, people, find me a Linux disto that has the quality to compete with MacOS X and Windows Seven. What? You don't care about competing? That's what losers say...
Just don't come bitching about driver and 3rd party software support. Hardware and software makers support the winning team, and you are not in it. So, your OS will always lag in hardware and software support, unless it improves it's quality. Simple as 1-2-3!

I'm late on this one, and I apologise.

An excellent exemplar of a Bugzilla fossil footprint, there. Keep up the profanities. If real Bugzilla reports were equally full of profanities, then at least they'd cheer me up.

You've missed out the worst part of FOSS networked Bugzilla, however. It is an article of faith amongst commercial developers of software that 99% of testers are illiterate morons with a persecution complex. (And they're mostly paid on a par with actual developers, but that's a beef we need not go into here.)

It is also an article of faith amonst *good* commercial developers that the other 1% are worth their weight in gold.

What do we get with networked Bugzilla? A crap-tide from the 99%, illustrated by pages and pages of test-tool output, and a link at the bottom asking "Does anybody know why this happens?"

Yes, I've been googling a lot for answers to technical questions. The sad thing is that Google seems to rate these morons quite highly, if only because the other 99% click on *exactly the same stupid report.*

This blog actually made me so curious about Linux' suckery that I'm downloading it now, will install later on. Pretty sad, I know.

Never tried Linux before, so Ubuntu, here I come, for better or for worse!

Mads Elvheim — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 06:24:05 -0000

I agree with the blog post 100 percent, then again there are some caveats.
1. FOSS software is open and *free*.
2. Some minimal amount of information has to be given in order to fix a bug.
You can't have your cake and it it too. If you want decent support, pay up. If not, fix it yourself, or wait for six months. If people who are filing bugs can't provide the needed information, they get their money's worth ($0,-).

It looks to me that people use this as an argument to prove that open-source software is flawed. Repeat after me: LINUX IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. Or open-source software in general for that matter. Anyone who actually believes otherwise, deserves to get both kneecaps amputated. If you have to rely on others to fix bugs while time is a critical factor, well.. tough luck. Pay up, shut up or give up. Only the contributors who actually used a good portion of their free time has the right to complain, in my opinion. Like some of the posters below who sent in patches to Ubuntu. Why they got rejected is beyond me.

If I sound overly elitistic, feel free to point out where you think I'm wrong.

Man, this is so funny. I like your blog, although I'm using Ubuntu... or maybe because I do.
There's so much truth in what you're writing and I hope all those Open Source developers out there visit your blog as a reference for bug fixing on a regular basis.

Lol! The famous firefox-flash crash in ubuntu is defended by ubuntu users by blaming flash for that. They make stupid comments like, "ask flash to fix their crappy video player" and "go to windows if you want to use flash". Assholes. all of them.
