[Bug 855036] Re: Writer won't print single/first page

 

OK, I finally created a *new* account and committed the bug to
bugs.freedesktop.org. Here's the link:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41116

I know this isn't the place for this rant, but it baffles me the
incredibly complex and convoluted bur reporting system Linux has. Just
to submit this simple bug I had to create 2 new accounts in 2 different
sites, read quite a bit to understand what I was doing and finally I was
confronted with an internal server error (when the bug report site
reports it crashed and asks you to report a bug, you con only laugh):

FreeDesktop Bugzilla has suffered an internal error. Please save this
page and send it to sitewranglers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with details of
what you were doing at the time this message appeared.

I lost count of the many times KDE's automatic crash report system *crashed* on me just randomly or because it attempted (and failed) to download a gazillion Mb of gods know what before it could send the bug report.

I understand KDE, LibreOffice, Ubunut, etc, are all different things but
if this system could be polished, simplified and integrated, you'd be
getting tons more of bug reports from not-advanced users such as myself.

When I mean simple, I mean something like 'chromium'
(http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list)

Sorry, I had to say it.

Cheers.
