I'm assuming that it is fixed.  However, I do not know enough about the
problem (and apt) to know if my test is valid.  If my test case is
flawed, please let me know.  Here is a transcript:

[Bug 67936] Re: [network-admin] Crash when starting from menu.

2007-02-16 Thread RichardBronosky
I'm sorry to post this here, but this issue is threatening my use of
Linux as a desktop OS.  If I cannot make hosts entries I cannot do my
job and my company will revoke my freedom of OS.

So, being new to this I have ask, "can I install
http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/feisty/gnome/gnome-system-tools on
Ubuntu 6.10 - the Edgy Eft?"  Based on the comment from Sebastien Bacher
the problem I'm experiencing has been fixed and is no longer a concern
for the team.  But, for those of us using the "stable release" what can
we do?

[Bug 67936] Re: [network-admin] Crash when starting from menu.

2007-02-20 Thread RichardBronosky
I have found that given enough reboots I can always get my system on my
home (wifi) or work (ethernet with lots of search domains and hosts
entries) networks.  I simply have to (usually when I get home from work)
delete all the custom entries from /etc/hosts and reboot.  Then network-
admin will launch okay.

I think one solution would be to make a backup of your base hosts file (no 
extra entries, just the ones ubuntu put there), and write a shell script like:
#!/bin/sh
## restore_hosts.sh restores the /etc/hosts file to curcumvent
## the bug: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/67936
cp -f /etc/hosts.bak /etc/hosts

Then maybe make the script run on boot, or run on Gnome start up.  I don't know 
if the Gnome startup would be too late to avoid the problem.  I've never done 
the former task, but I think you just put the shell script in /etc/init.d/ and 
symlink to in from the proper runlevel. (/etc/rc[X].d/ where [X] is your 
default runlevel) based on:
"man runlevel" and calling runlevel on my machine which I consider to be 
standard Ubuntu, you would use:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/restore_hosts.sh /etc/rc2.d/S10restore_hosts.sh

Since gdm is linked as /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm

Hope that helps.

As far as comparing to Windows 95, imagine how many issues Windows 95
would have had if it were developed by free time hobbyists.

Unfortunately I've never done that sort of thing.  My end goal is to
be a code contributing member of the Linux community.  (At this point
I just offer shell scripts and configuration changes to the KnoppMyth
project.)  I will try to do this as my first delve into contributing
code if I may lean on you as a resource.

I'm currently playing with the source code of a simple project
http://freshmeat.net/projects/dbf/?branch_id=32890 to add a few
features.  I can make sense of the code and my changes compile fine
and work as expected.  It was going to be my first code submission,
but this network-admin thing has greater impact/visibility.

So, knowing this, would you be willing to "bring me into the circle"
so to speak?

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 67936 ***

@Brian and all,
see my post here 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/67936/comments/27

One temporary work around until Feisty goes GA is to find what file is
causing the problem (in my case it was /etc/hosts but Stuart Bishop
seemed to have a problem with /etc/interfaces), make a clean copy of it,
and use a script to restore it on boot.  It means you need to launch
network-admin on every boot... but it works.

I'm working to backport a patch to Edgy, but I don't know if it will
work yet.  But you can have my current solution working in 5 minutes.

I have found that given enough reboots I can always get my system on my

entries) networks.  I simply have to (usually when I get home from work)
delete all the custom entries from /etc/hosts and reboot.  Then network-

I think one solution would be to make a backup of your base hosts file (no

Then maybe make the script run on boot, or run on Gnome start up.  I don't know 
if the Gnome startup would be too late to avoid the problem.  I've never done 
the former task, but I think you just put the shell script in /etc/init.d/ and 
symlink to in from the proper runlevel. (/etc/rc[X].d/ where [X] is your

"man runlevel" and calling runlevel on my machine which I consider to be

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/restore_hosts.sh /etc/rc2.d/S10restore_hosts.sh

[Bug 67936] Re: [network-admin] Crash when starting from menu.

2007-02-16 Thread RichardBronosky
I'm sorry to post this here, but this issue is threatening my use of
Linux as a desktop OS.  If I cannot make hosts entries I cannot do my
job and my company will revoke my freedom of OS.

So, being new to this I have ask, "can I install
http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/feisty/gnome/gnome-system-tools on
Ubuntu 6.10 - the Edgy Eft?"  Based on the comment from Sebastien Bacher
the problem I'm experiencing has been fixed and is no longer a concern
for the team.  But, for those of us using the "stable release" what can
we do?

[Bug 67936] Re: [network-admin] Crash when starting from menu.

2007-02-20 Thread RichardBronosky
I have found that given enough reboots I can always get my system on my
home (wifi) or work (ethernet with lots of search domains and hosts
entries) networks.  I simply have to (usually when I get home from work)
delete all the custom entries from /etc/hosts and reboot.  Then network-
admin will launch okay.

I think one solution would be to make a backup of your base hosts file (no 
extra entries, just the ones ubuntu put there), and write a shell script like:
#!/bin/sh
## restore_hosts.sh restores the /etc/hosts file to curcumvent
## the bug: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/67936
cp -f /etc/hosts.bak /etc/hosts

Then maybe make the script run on boot, or run on Gnome start up.  I don't know 
if the Gnome startup would be too late to avoid the problem.  I've never done 
the former task, but I think you just put the shell script in /etc/init.d/ and 
symlink to in from the proper runlevel. (/etc/rc[X].d/ where [X] is your 
default runlevel) based on:
"man runlevel" and calling runlevel on my machine which I consider to be 
standard Ubuntu, you would use:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/restore_hosts.sh /etc/rc2.d/S10restore_hosts.sh

Since gdm is linked as /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm

Hope that helps.

As far as comparing to Windows 95, imagine how many issues Windows 95
would have had if it were developed by free time hobbyists.

Unfortunately I've never done that sort of thing.  My end goal is to
be a code contributing member of the Linux community.  (At this point
I just offer shell scripts and configuration changes to the KnoppMyth
project.)  I will try to do this as my first delve into contributing
code if I may lean on you as a resource.

I'm currently playing with the source code of a simple project
http://freshmeat.net/projects/dbf/?branch_id=32890 to add a few
features.  I can make sense of the code and my changes compile fine
and work as expected.  It was going to be my first code submission,
but this network-admin thing has greater impact/visibility.

So, knowing this, would you be willing to "bring me into the circle"
so to speak?

Okay, I got the specified revision.  I compared it to the result of
`apt-get source gnome-system-tool` and have applied only the
"relevant?" changes.  But, I'm not sure what to do with it now.  I
don't know whether to run the configure script, or use the Makefile
that was in the src, or whether to create a deb (which I've never
done) and use dpkg on it.

Please advise.

[Bug 76397] Re: network-admin crashes on startup

2007-03-08 Thread RichardBronosky
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 67936 ***

@Brian and all,
see my post here 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/67936/comments/27

One temporary work around until Feisty goes GA is to find what file is
causing the problem (in my case it was /etc/hosts but Stuart Bishop
seemed to have a problem with /etc/interfaces), make a clean copy of it,
and use a script to restore it on boot.  It means you need to launch
network-admin on every boot... but it works.

I'm working to backport a patch to Edgy, but I don't know if it will
work yet.  But you can have my current solution working in 5 minutes.

[Bug 67936] Re: [network-admin] Crash when starting from menu.

2007-02-16 Thread RichardBronosky
I'm sorry to post this here, but this issue is threatening my use of
Linux as a desktop OS.  If I cannot make hosts entries I cannot do my
job and my company will revoke my freedom of OS.

So, being new to this I have ask, "can I install
http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/feisty/gnome/gnome-system-tools on
Ubuntu 6.10 - the Edgy Eft?"  Based on the comment from Sebastien Bacher
the problem I'm experiencing has been fixed and is no longer a concern
for the team.  But, for those of us using the "stable release" what can
we do?

[Bug 67936] Re: [network-admin] Crash when starting from menu.

2007-02-20 Thread RichardBronosky
I have found that given enough reboots I can always get my system on my
home (wifi) or work (ethernet with lots of search domains and hosts
entries) networks.  I simply have to (usually when I get home from work)
delete all the custom entries from /etc/hosts and reboot.  Then network-
admin will launch okay.

I think one solution would be to make a backup of your base hosts file (no 
extra entries, just the ones ubuntu put there), and write a shell script like:
#!/bin/sh
## restore_hosts.sh restores the /etc/hosts file to curcumvent
## the bug: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/67936
cp -f /etc/hosts.bak /etc/hosts

Then maybe make the script run on boot, or run on Gnome start up.  I don't know 
if the Gnome startup would be too late to avoid the problem.  I've never done 
the former task, but I think you just put the shell script in /etc/init.d/ and 
symlink to in from the proper runlevel. (/etc/rc[X].d/ where [X] is your 
default runlevel) based on:
"man runlevel" and calling runlevel on my machine which I consider to be 
standard Ubuntu, you would use:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/restore_hosts.sh /etc/rc2.d/S10restore_hosts.sh

Since gdm is linked as /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm

Hope that helps.

As far as comparing to Windows 95, imagine how many issues Windows 95
would have had if it were developed by free time hobbyists.

Unfortunately I've never done that sort of thing.  My end goal is to
be a code contributing member of the Linux community.  (At this point
I just offer shell scripts and configuration changes to the KnoppMyth
project.)  I will try to do this as my first delve into contributing
code if I may lean on you as a resource.

I'm currently playing with the source code of a simple project
http://freshmeat.net/projects/dbf/?branch_id=32890 to add a few
features.  I can make sense of the code and my changes compile fine
and work as expected.  It was going to be my first code submission,
but this network-admin thing has greater impact/visibility.

So, knowing this, would you be willing to "bring me into the circle"
so to speak?

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 67936 ***

@Brian and all,
see my post here 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/67936/comments/27

One temporary work around until Feisty goes GA is to find what file is
causing the problem (in my case it was /etc/hosts but Stuart Bishop
seemed to have a problem with /etc/interfaces), make a clean copy of it,
and use a script to restore it on boot.  It means you need to launch
network-admin on every boot... but it works.

I'm working to backport a patch to Edgy, but I don't know if it will
work yet.  But you can have my current solution working in 5 minutes.
