Newer wireless access points often drop support for older Wifi standards. Also, 10.04 is well out of support :D -- Alan Pope Developer Advocate Canonical - Data Center Development +44 (0) 7973 620 164 alan.p...@canonical.com http://ubuntu.com/ -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Maybe give that a shot. I have used it here for some months, and it worked fine on my gmail accounts.

Re: Budgie desktop accessibility
Hi, I asked Ikey Doherty to comment on this, as he is the upstream for Budgie, and lead developer / creator of Solus.

Re: anyone on mumble

There was talk some years ago of having an Ubuntu wide Mumble server, but I don't think anyone ever set one up. It's pretty straightforward to setup a mumble server. I have one for the Ubuntu Podcast which we use when we record, but it's not setup for many users. The Hacker Public Radio Mumble server is very friendly, and has some cross-over in terms of philosophy. So if we were all going to meet up somewhere that might be a good place. host: ch1.teamspeak.cc port: 64747 Personally I hang out on the Jupiter Broadcasting one sometimes, especially when they're recording shows, but also in the evenings when things are quiet. host: new.mumble.jupitercolony.com port: 64734 Cheers, -- Alan Pope Community Manager Canonical - Ubuntu Engineering and Services +44 (0) 7973 620 164 alan.p...@canonical.com http://ubuntu.com/ -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
