Using the first partition doesn't matter too much, but it can help during trouble shooting and Windows just seems to prefer it. The more critical option is putting Windows on the primary hard drive. If I remember correctly, Windows just expects this to be the case by default and kicks up a fuss if it isn't. You can get around it by using the map option in grub, but that can be confusing. Most dual boot guides I have read recommend installing Windows first, if you do it the other way around then expect problems. I've know idea if things are better with Vista, though I doubt it. As others have mentioned there are various workarounds for different manufacturer's boards. So you'll probably have to do board specific research.

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools I switch my wireless interface from roaming mode (where it works) to a static configuration. When I enter my WPA-PSK passphrase and click Ok, it just fails without any warning. Checking the /etc/network/interfaces file shows that the correct mode and essid are set, but there is no key listed.

I have tried a Gutsy Tribe 5 desktop CD and the problem still exists. Only now nm-applet does not pop up the dialogue for a new key, it just disables the interface. During it's attempts to connect I can successfully ping my other Ubuntu PC via it's IPv6 address. So I know that the connection along with it's WPA encryption works. From the syslog (see attached), I can see that after dhcp fails the interface is disabled, even though avahi-autoip has been enabled. What's the point of avahi-autoip if it's not going to be allowed to work? Two more tries and it gets an address from the DHCP server and the interface is up and working.

[Bug 102865] avahi-autoipd in roaming mode set ip address to 0.0.0.0
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: avahi-autoipd I have set up a wired network with a hub, one Feisty PC and one Edgy PC. Edgy has a connection to an external network which uses DHCP, but on the private wired network it has a static address in the Link local address range (169.254.2.102). When I boot Feisty it doesn't find a DHCP server, so it falls back to avahi-autoip (169.254.6.101). I test the connection and both can ping each other successfully, I can also resolve mDNS/avahi services. Now, I have enabled IP forwarding and NAT on Edgy because I want Feisty to be able to access the external network. Previously it was enough to add a route to the external network via Edgy. So I do this on Feisty and it doesn't work, I can't ping any PCs on the external network from Feisty. Using tcpdump on Edgy I can see that Feisty is using the 0.0.0.0 IP address. If I specify Feisty's IP address in ping then I get replies, i.e. ping -I 169.254.6.101 192.168.0.1 is successful. So avahi-autoip allows access to the local netowork, but won't access external networks. Is this the intended behaviour? It means that I will have to use a static address instead.

[Bug 84641] Re: Wireless card (Atheros) no longer detected after upgrade to kernel 2.6.17-11
Sorry for the long delay, I should have subscribed earlier. The kernel modules needed to interface with the Atheros card need to be installed alongside the new kernel due to ABI changes. This should be taken care of by the linux-restricted-modules package, which depends on the latest version. For some reason this wasn't installed (sometimes it's removed due to conflicts, such as non-free nvidia drivers). So if you install that package you should be okay for future updates. So please add that package and try to run the updates, if anything is to be removed then cancel and check them over. Otherwise you should be okay to proceed. -- Wireless card (Atheros) no longer detected after upgrade to kernel 2.6.17-11 https://launchpad.net/bugs/84641 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 84103] network manager disables wireless if dhcp times out
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager I'm using feisty herd 3 updated as of today 8th Jan 2007. I try to connect to my WPA-PSK wireless network using an atheros wifi card in my laptop. For some reason sometimes it doesn't want to connect, even though it has the key stored in gnome-keyring when I select the ssid in NM it spends a while looking then it asks for a key. After looping through this multiple times I gave up and switched to NM --no-daemon mode. From what I could tell I was able to connect to the AP and then DHCP sent out a discover. After a minute or so it just fails. If we are supposed to be falling back to avahi, then why does avahi- autoip not kick in at this point. Especially as I clearly have the correct key and it has been authenticated by the AP. At least NM should state that it can't get an address rather than just ask for a new key. I believe this has been discussed before in bug #30213, however that was in slightly different circumstances. On a related note using wireshark from another PC I can see that a DHCP discover is being sent from the laptop (ath0) and an offer is sent in reply (at least twice). These are obviously not being picked up, however that's another issue. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- network manager disables wireless if dhcp times out https://launchpad.net/bugs/84103 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 79254] Re: defaultdepth not persistant after install
Since feisty is taking too long to install at the moment, I reverted to Edgy. The problem is that during install when it comes to configuring the xserver, I am asked to select the correct resolutions from a list, but after this there is no choice of colour depth. Even though I selected 800x512x16 at boot, it just goes back to default 24 after install. So when I reboot, gdm is garbled and switching to a vty doesn't work either. This means I have to boot in recovery mode to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Once the defaultdepth is changed to 16. Ubuntu will boot with no problems. It's the installation process that doesn't work well. I can't remember exactly, but I think Dapper gave you more options to select during install. This seems to have been dropped since Edgy. I'm all for choosing default options, but not if it creates this much of a headache.
