[Touch-packages] [Bug 388553] Re: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) not supported
So what is needed here? This is a major deficiency in Linux as a viable , everyday desktop solution. Wifi is now an essential part of any OS/software installation. The abitility to connect to various wifi routers at other people's houses, cafes etc, where a WPA password is required MUST be available to the basic lambda user without the need to enter or even know the root pw or start screwing around with obscure command line editing of config files. Jeez this is 2018 , not 1990. The above link says NM 1.10.x can handle WPS but says not more. AFAICT it is implemented in low level but there is nothing in the NM GUI widgets to actually use it. What is needed here, and is there anything actively in the pipeline? thx -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388553 Title: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) not supported Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in NetworkManager: In Progress Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As the title the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is not supported by NetworkManager (but is supported by wpa_supplicant).

PS, I know that Ubuntu allows users to do sudo su , I will lets not divert into how silly that is.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 378325] Re: X login screen volume always set to max; crazy loud
"Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu." "Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test." How about you test it? It's simply a case of booting a live CD. The lack of attention to major problem, which cause someone hearing damage if you were unlucky enough to boot whilst wearing earplugs, is lamentable. Assigning this "wishlist" status ensured that it never got attended to despite commenters having identified the problem and provided a very simple fix. Hopeless. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378325 Title: X login screen volume always set to max; crazy loud Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: gdm Whenever I boot my laptop from scratch (i.e. not resuming from standy/hibernate), the X/gdm login screen will play a sound effect when it's ready for me to log in. The problem is, this sound effect is always played at the hardware's maximum volume setting (or at least, something insanely loud) which is extremely annoying for other people nearby (and me!) gdm/something should set the volume to some sane level prior to playing this sound. Even better if "gdmsetup" were to allow configuration of the volume. Note, I'm aware of some WARs: * Disable the login sound. Not acceptable: Simply disabling the feature because it's buggy doesn't actually fix the underlying bug. * Plug in headphones, or a dummy jack. Not acceptable: I don't use headphones and hence don't carry them around. I don't want some dummy jack plugged into the side of my laptop, thus changing the laptop's shape (and, I'd have to unplug it after login to use sound) * Various script hacks with "alsactl save/restore". Not acceptable: This feature should "just work" out of the box without my Grandma having to hack at arcane scripts or config files. Note: This issue is visible in Jaunty Jackalope i386 (and presumably all arch's) on either the live CD or an HD-based installation. Note that to fix this on the live CD, a gdmsetup-based volume configuration option wouldn't be useful, because a) it wouldn't solve the issue for the first boot, and b) there's nowhere to store the configuration across reboots (or if there is, it's sufficiently complex that my Grandma couldn't use it) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/378325/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

So this bug proved that even in the 1% where people do contribute and provide a fast easy to implement solution, it still dies of old age rather than getting attended to : mainly because something which could cause physical harm gets classed as "wishlist" importance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378325 Title: X login screen volume always set to max; crazy loud Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gdm Whenever I boot my laptop from scratch (i.e. not resuming from standy/hibernate), the X/gdm login screen will play a sound effect when it's ready for me to log in.
