Hi Paul, thanks for you contribution to Ubuntu.

The only change I'm not so sure about is fullscreen -> full-screen. I think it should probably be written "full screen" without the hyphen.

Also, it would probably be best to submit this bug report and patch to Debian, and then let us sync it to Ubuntu, rather than carry an Ubuntu-specific delta. Would you be willing to do that?

Hi Barry,

Sure, I'll send up a bug report to Debian. The problem is I can't seem to get it to work. I am using the following commands:

paul@pl:~$ reportbug -B mplayer
Ignored bogus setting for -B: mplayer
*** ERROR: "Ubuntu" BTS is currently unsupported. Please use "ubuntu-bug" (from
the apport package) for reporting bugs in Ubuntu. You can report bugs to Debian
by specifying 'bts debian' in your ~/.reportbugrc or by passing the -B debian
option on the commandline (see reportbug(1)).

What am I doing wrong? Are you able to advise me please?

Thanks
Paul

Hi Barry,

I have submitted the bug and code up to debianbugs http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641675

Please let me know if I need to do anything else.

Thanks

That's fine, thanks. There's no need for us to carry this separately, then; spelling/grammar tweaks like this should almost always be submitted to Debian and synced/merged into Ubuntu rather than going directly through our sponsorship queue.
