Is that a question? If so I "assume" the answer is yes - though I fail
to see any relevance to the subject unless the intention is to "flip
turtles".
Are you asking me to subscribe to both forms in order to provide
meaningful metrics? If so to what end?

Multibooting:
It does not recognize Windows partitions correctly.
It becomes crazy with ufs.
Some times it recognize the same partition twice.
It might has been build to work alone, which is not really necessary.

Indeed! - not only is /etc/default/grub the appropriate place to make
changes - it's simpler, and it shows respect for the developers taking
the time to document it as being the place to make (most) changes.
There's even a gui for changing from grub-legacy and grub2
(grub-choose-default)(Squeeze).
For the splash screens in grub2 try - gfxboot.
For gnome there is a package called startupmanager - which looks
interesting (though I don't run gnome).
For pure time-wasting distractions try grub-invaders, as a bonus it
loads very fast!
I agree that there have been some problems with grub2 during upgrades -
but for me it's worth it. Grub(legacy) was better than lilo, and grub2
is better than grub-legacy. I look forward to trying pxe from grub2 and
grub-coreboot on an old supported mb.

Please comply with the posting rules - ^ it's not prudishness, it's a
legal issue. If you can't control what you post and respect the rules
why should any one take the time to help you?

1. Daniel Baumann might not work on the project full-time. He does not
appear to be paid for his work - so rudeness is not likely to motivate
him. Certainly there seems to be a lot of unresolved issues with that
particular project. Perhaps, if the issue is truly Debian, (not Ubuntu),
and you were to post the particulars here, some one might suggest a
solution.
2. The developer may have read and followed your bug report:-
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630237
which leads to this:-
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fuse/+bug/737457/comments/3
where you say "The problem seem to have disappeared."
You also state that you are running Ubuntu "I always use the same
ntfs-3g version 1:2010.8.8-0ubuntu1 ." So how is that a Debian problem.
3. Why post to Ubuntu when you say the problem is Debian? Don't make it
more confused than it has to be. You contradict yourself and cross-post,
which make it more difficult to help you.
4. Your second Debian bug report was responded to by the maintainer
(Ritesh Raj Sarraf). The polite thing to do is follow his advice and
remain patient.
4. Your failure to observe the established conventions hardly
constitutes an emergency on anyone's part.

I don't understand why you'd use that method. If you do need to use that
approach "$jim" might be better (for other uses).
Try:-
$ ls -Q
"and two spaces" "one space"
Or if the long route is required :-
$ ls -1Q | while read jim; do echo "$jim" ; done
"and two spaces"
"one space"

Agreed - but *as it's not possible* my agreement is worthless. It also
belies the point of UTF.

Have you installed the latest Guest Additions? If so have you run:-

In this case it would require educating Microsoft Windows users (and
corrupting my nicely organised and extensive music collection). Which is
where the problem came from. I have no problems with either ext3 or ext4
in "creating" filenames with whitespaces and accented characters.
Note the screen shot:-
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/06/pngTe0u43cmOF.png
- that's a file being transferred from a MS users NTFS drive to mine -
I can play the file fine (on their drive) but it won't copy across
unless I create a non-UTF file system, or rename it.
Dumbing down all song, album, and artist names to remove whitespaces and
accented characters is not feasible. There's a difference between
Camaleon and Camaleón, and it's a difference Amarok has no trouble with.
The whole point of UTF is to be able to deal with extended character
sets.

On other Linux I used another CD ripper, but for Debian I unselected
installed Asunder and it does rip the CD to .wav ok for my needs.
Asunder here is version 2.1-1 from testing.
I dunno if it check errors on CDs and I dunno if you can comfortably
convert to what ever audio format you like.
Since I'm not comfortable with 44.1 KHz @ what bit ever, I don't care
much about the quality, when ripping a CD to .wav.
Anyway, Asunder does work here.

Why wouldn't you be able to? None of those are forbidden characters for

enames.

Maybe you should reply to one of the troubleshooting responses instead
of t=
he
philosophical ones, then :P
What happens when you try touch touch a file with a special character?
Any
error message? Have you tried mounting with the encoding options as
recomme=

The answer to this problem, replying to digests, is to go to the web
source [1] and do a reply from there. I expect it will keep the
threading working properly.
Can somebody send me a full digest message, so I can see what is tacked
onto the end of the message? Send as an attachment please so that I
can
see headers as well.
The link below is one from the individual emails that I receive and the
one I am replying to.
