[Bug 52167] Re: DSL configuration is suboptimal.
There has been two major releases since this bug was first reported. Is there any chance of this being repaired sometime soon?

[Bug 52167] Re: DSL configuration is suboptimal.
That spec seems to be missing the point entirely. The issue isn't just that it's CLI vs. GUI. It's that the CLI thing itself requires the user to try out about a thousand different ways to connect and provides no useful feedback (of any kind!) when it fails. Any sane user would rather have a CLI system that works and does the Right Thing (whatever that right thing may be) over a GUI system that is confusing, frustrating and poorly-documented. In short, the issue isn't the UI, it's the functionality proper. Pppoeconf doesn't work, out of the box, for any system I've ever used it on. I'm sure it works for some people somewhere, and I'm sure that if you're really tenacious you can make it work on any system anywhere, but when bMICROSOFT/b can make something complex work simply and quickly out of the box, not to mention every router box in the world, and Linux can't? It's time to make Linux catch up with what the rest of the world has been able to do for years. Linksys, incidentally, has a lot of GPLed code for their router and DSL boxes. Linksys routers, by coincidence, are easy to connect up to DSL setups. Perhaps a quick peek at a href=ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode;ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/a could make this happen quickly? -- DSL configuration is suboptimal. https://launchpad.net/bugs/52167 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 52319] Re: Sound Card on Haier H51 laptop is recognised, but not functional.
I can't even figure out what the workaround was supposed to be there, frankly. I chmod-ed /dev/dsp to 666 (it was 660 for some unfathomable reason). But the rest? I just can't decode. What's an IEC-related option? How do I tell what's IEC-related and what's not? If it's identified by the string IEC in it somewhere, there's nothing in alsamixer that shows anything to do with IEC.

[Bug 53705] Touchpad input support needs bolstering.
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics This for Dapper 6.06 LTS. Synaptics support is installed by default in Dapper now (a step up from Breezy), but has the following shortcomings: 1) SHMConfig is not turned on by default in xorg.conf, making it hard to adjust if you don't know about that particular little bit of Mystic Incantationtm 2) The tools for adjusting Synaptics support by default are CLI-oriented and not particularly user-friendly. The following solutions could be used in the short term: 1) If a Synaptics touchpad is detected at all when configuring xorg, turn on SHMConfig right away. 2) For KDE desktops, ksynaptics should be a supported, automatically- loaded package. 3) For other desktops, qsynaptics should be a supported, automatically- loaded package. (Ksynaptics and qsynaptics are pretty small packages.) A longer-term solution would be to build in the functionality of k/qsynaptics into the System-Preferences-Mouse applet. Such a program should allow users to quickly and easily turn off Synaptics support (to prevent typing irritations) and should allow adjustments to the various facets of Synaptics support (scrolling, multi-finger taps, et al) as provided by the external programs. Ideally a hot-key to turn the support on and off, as per SCIM and input methods, would be perfection on a stick. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Touchpad input support needs bolstering. https://launchpad.net/bugs/53705 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 53519] After kernel update, system cannot boot because menu.lst hacked badly.
Public bug reported: For bizarre reasons my notebook has the hard drive as the secondary master and the CD-ROM drive as the primary master. This means that my CD-ROM drive is hda and my hard drive is hdc. Upon updating the kernel from a security patch, menu.lst got overwritten with an assumption that my boot drive was /dev/hda. All references to /dev/hdc2 (the root partition) were studiously rewritten to /dev/hda2. This is a bit bizarre in that it seemed to be careful to keep my partitions correct (it kept the 2), but changed the drive around for no observably good reason from c to a. This happened on the most recent set of updates for Dapper 6.06LTS. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- After kernel update, system cannot boot because menu.lst hacked badly. https://launchpad.net/bugs/53519 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 52316] Video card in Haier H51 laptop not correctly recognised as SiS.
Public bug reported: I bought a new laptop today, a Haier H51. Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu all work fine on it with two exceptions. (The second exception is the subject of the next bug report.) The main problem, easily solved, is that the system fails to recognise that the built-in video is an SiS. The solution was to manually edit xorg.conf and put Driver sis and the appropriate resolutions into it. Given that the Device Manager recognises the device and names it properly, it would be best if xorg servers could figure this out for themselves. If anybody can give me the appropriate Magic Incantations tm for collecting the chipset information, etc. for debugging purposes reply to this with the appropriate command lines, files, etc and I'll try my best to get the information for you. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Video card in Haier H51 laptop not correctly recognised as SiS. https://launchpad.net/bugs/52316 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
