[Bug 494353] Re: Unable to get Linksys WPC54G wireless card to work out-of-the-box

2010-04-10 Thread WubiNeophyte
I searched for other bugs, and if there was something similar, it wasn't
obvious to me.  I'll leave this open until the firmware install becomes
integrated or someone points out the appropriate bug for that issue.

wasn't seeing in Karmic.  Probably unrelated, as I was seeing these

caused this crash.

[Bug 495339] Re: Passphrase not verified for encrypted homes

2010-04-10 Thread WubiNeophyte
itismike,

Ok.  That sort of makes sense now.  Unfortunately, I still have two
issues with the dialog that is presented, as of the Lucid Beta:

1) The dialog is still pretty confusing, with lots of poor word choices, and 
poor explanations for end users.
2)  The button to show the unwrapped password didn't work for me in the Lucid 
Beta (fresh install); it did nothing.

What do you recommend?

[Bug 494353] Re: Unable to get Linksys WPC54G wireless card to work out-of-the-box

2010-04-08 Thread WubiNeophyte
Ok, progress.

I'm now testing Lucid Lynx (Beta 1, I believe), and the chipset is
identified out-of-the-box.  That's a big step, but the firmware is a
separate issue, as it is incomplete out-of-the-box and the package
b43-fwcutter must be installed to download the firmware.

To resolve this bug, there still needs to be some kind of visual
mechanism to engage the end user in the process of downloading the
firmware, if so desisred, so that the apt-get install method isn't
(manually) required out-of-the-box.

I need to check to see if there's another bug covering that remaining
functionality.  If so, I can consider this bug closed.

2010-02-20 Thread WubiNeophyte
As I stated in the question version of this bug, this issue is not
resolved.

The dialogue presented to the user is in no way user-friendly, and
provokes the response that is seen here.  An implied response of RTFM is
not acceptable, as Ubuntu is intended for Human Beings.

This bug should address the actual failure here, which appears to be one
of communication, indicating that the dialogue is inadequate.

[Bug 495339] Re: Passphrase not verified for encrypted homes

2009-12-12 Thread WubiNeophyte
Dave,

Not sure I'll be able to clarify much for you.  Now that the install is
complete, I have no plans to retry until it's necessary.  Am reporting
the bug because I'm hoping to avoid potential issues in the future.

I don't think I did anything fancy.  I just installed Karmic from the CD
installer.  I found an option in one of the steps that allowed for
encrypted homes, so I enabled the option.  I don't remember after that
point when I was prompted for the passphrase.  It may have been during
the install itself, but more likely, as I'm gathering from other
sources, it was launched post-install by a notification window.  The
prompts weren't from a full-fledged GUI like GTK, but I don't remember
if it was a shell script or some kind of ad-hoc widget.

When I was prompted for the passphrase, I wondered if it would ask me to
confirm.  Since I wasn't sure, I was careful entering the passphrase,
but after hitting enter to accept the passphrase, I wasn't prompted to
verify.  I expected a second prompt to verify the passphrase entry (like
passwords are verified).

I feel like I'm repeating myself, so if there's something specific
you're looking for, please let me know, and I'll see if I remember.  If
you have a machine that you could set up to test this, then perhaps you
could actually reproduce this, as I don't think this is an intermittent
problem.  Based on bug 359997, I would venture to say that the issue
should be reproducible on a test install image by running the ecryptfs-
unwrap-passphrase script.

[Bug 495339] [NEW] Passphrase not verified for encrypted homes

2009-12-10 Thread WubiNeophyte
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I recently installed Karmic Koala, and opted for an encrypted home.  I
was horrified at the interface for doing this, however.  My biggest
concern was that the passphrase I was expected to create was never asked
to be confirmed.  I thought this was routine practice by now.

The obvious concern is that something as small as a typo is enough to
permanently cause data loss with this configuration.  While this issue
seems to have been raised in bug 359997, the bug is older than Karmic,
and marked fixed.  I asked whether the issue had been corrected, but
didn't get a response.

Solution: new bug

[Bug 494353] [NEW] Unable to get Linksys WPC54G wireless card to work out-of-the-box

2009-12-09 Thread WubiNeophyte
Public bug reported:

I own a Linksys WPC54G V3.1, a PCMCIA wireless adapter which I understand is 
based on a Broadcom chipset.  The card doesn't work out-of-the-box, and while 
I'm not sure it's the appropriate thing to do, I've tried installing the 
Synaptic package
bcmwl-kernel-source.  Installing this package superficially appears to have 
built and installed a kernel module, however, when I tried inserting the card, 
both before and after a system restart, I don't get any indication that a 
wireless network is available.

dmesg seems to recognize the card insertion, but I don't see any
significant follow-on activity.

I've seen a number of online posts about this card and chipset, but most
of the threads are old, and do not address how to get this card working
under Karmic.

[Bug 355389] Re: Software Center (and Add/Remove Applications) have duplicate listings

2009-12-06 Thread WubiNeophyte
@mac_v:

I welcome a more respectful atmosphere, but it can't be one-sided.
That's the message I was trying to get across to you in comment 10.
It's really disappointing that I'm having to fight so hard to be heard,
when I'm not really even an average user.

Thank you for taking a serious look at this.

I'm not sure what you are referring to above when you mention text in
brackets.  I created the list using Add/Remove Programs, since Software
Center apparently isn't part of the Xubuntu desktop.  If there are
brackets, I'm not seeing them.  I'm seeing a one-line program name and a
one-line program description, and in all the cases I listed they were
identical AFAICT.  I accepted that parenthetical differences in version
and desktop environment/toolkit meant that they were different packages;
the would have been longer otherwise.  I assume there are superficial
textual differences that I'm not seeing in Add/Remove Programs that
probably are displayed in Software Cente in brackets.

I agree with your assessment that there are multiple problems going on.
Based upon your evaluation it seems that there are 5 categories of
issues, and some of them definitely seem out of scope of Papercuts:

1) Different apps
2) Same app, same package
3) Same app, different version number
4) Same app, auxiliary package (-data)
5) Same app, different toolkit

I've listed them in what I feel is least acceptable to most acceptable
order.  Here's a brief rationale:

Group #1: Different applications should have obvious differences.
Usually the name should be different, but on the rare occasion when they
aren't, descriptions (short and long) should be.  In the commercial
world, disambiguation could usually be effected by mentioning the
vendor.  We could use author in lieu of vendor, but one expects the
descriptions to actually have some character as well.

Group #2: Not sure this is actually happening, but if it is, it's
inexcusable.  At the very least it represents duplication of packaging
effort.  This group should be completely eliminated.

Group #3: This is pretty silly.  The entire point of a distribution is
to pick best-of-breed software and eliminate unnecessary choice for the
user.  I think there are three basic use cases here: stable user,
bleeding-edge user, and advanced user.  Of the three, only the advanced
user will want to have two different versions at the same time, and
there are other means for achieving this, so I think troubling normal
users is uncalled for; a choice is required.  This will probably take a
spec and a lot of work to resolve to advanced users' satisfaction,
however.

Group #4: These actually make sense to have a separate package for, but
I'm not sure why they have the same name and description.  I have no
opinion on what to do with these in the UI in the long run, but I would
start by giving them better names and descriptions.

Group #5: These are actually different packages, but it is still
confusing.  This one seems tricky, and I'll have to read the link you
provided.  Again, though, I would start by making sure the descriptions
mention the desktop environment/toolkit dependency to give the user a
fighting chance.

I disagree with your framing this as not a typical workflow, but I
respect it.  IMO, virtually every user will use the Software Center
and/or Add/Remove Applications.  Especially if they stay with Ubuntu.  I
consider it just as integral to the experience as something like
Nautilus.  It seems Canonical would agree; otherwise, why put so much
effort into it?

Since I would be satisfied if descriptions were modified to be unique in
both Software Center and Add/Remove Applications, and since that still
seems readily solvable for the list of 27+1 we've documented, I propose
that we solve that issue as a Papercut, and spawn longer-running bugs
for the groupings listed above, as necessary.

Does that sound reasonable?

[Bug 355389] Re: Software Center (and Add/Remove Applications) have duplicate listings

2009-12-05 Thread WubiNeophyte
@mac_v:

I really don't know how to respond in a way that you will take
seriously.  It's clear from the past rejections that you don't take my
input seriously and aren't willing or able to check the facts for
yourself.  I gave you the benefit of the doubt for three months when I
thought you were wrong about this issue being in Karmic (comment 3),
until I could verify this for myself.  I expected that I would get the
same benefit of the doubt, or at least be given the opportunity for a
dialogue.  That didn't happen.

Apparently mac_v knows best.  In the latest installment,

1) mac_v says This is not a system-wide problem.

Huh?  As I have indicated before, this affects both Software Center and
Add/Remove Programs, and has persisted across installs of both Jaunty
and Karmic.  I also indicated that this affects not just mountmanager,
but many other applications as well (comment 6).  It also affects
Xubuntu in addition to Ubuntu*.

I have no idea what your definition of system-wide is but it seems
like the above would be more than enough for most reasonable people to
consider system-wide.

2) mac_v says This isnt even an app-wide problem.

I don't even know what this means.  In any case, the link you have
pointed me at twice (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut) makes no mention
of this as a criterion.

3) mac_v says This is a bug in 1 particular app and in 1 specific app
listed in the app out of the 1000's of apps listed!

Not true.  Because you weren't able to take me at my word, I went to the
trouble today of making a list.  I didn't include what I consider near-
matches, and I may have missed a few, but here it is:

-Back In Time
-Chess
-Content Filter
-GDebi Package Installer
-Gnu Octave
-Hardware Drivers
-Image Viewer
-KImageMapEditor
-KLinkStatus
-KOffice
-KPlato
-KPresenter
-Krita
-KSpread
-KWord
-KXSLDbg
-Language Support
-Licq
-Mailody
-Mines
-MountManager
-PCP Charts
-Qalculate! (3 copies)
-System Monitor
-Terminal
-USB Startup Disk Creator
-Xabacus

I count 27.  27  1.

4) mac_v says The chances of this affecting the user is quite less.
This is not something which is going to greatly improve/impact the
usability of the OS in general.

So, suppose there are 1000 apps listed.  Then the average rate at which
these duplicates occur is 2.7%.  If the average user only randomly looks
at (conservatively) 20 apps in Software Center over the course of their
usage of Ubuntu, the chance that they are affected is 1-(1-0.027)^20 =
42%.  That's for any one arbitrary user looking at 20 random apps!  If
the average user looks at 30 apps, the percentage increases to
1-(1-0.027)^30=56%.

Impact?  Was that a criterion for Papercuts?  I don't see it in the link
you gave.  In fact, if it required a big impact, wouldn't that make it
more than just a papercut?  A laceration, maybe?  In any case, this
seems to be up there on par with ugly misspellings and inconsistent
naming conventions, which seem to already have been accepted for
previous papercuts projects.  And, as I've mentioned previously, I'm not
the only one who's noticed the problem.  Surely you're not suggesting
that this isn't confusing to new users?

So, there we are mac_v.  Now you know where I stand.  Reject it again.
I dare you.  Then I can say Screw you Ubuntu and really mean it.  I'm
sure you can come up with some new excuse; I'm rooting for ya.  You
wouldn't really be a good gatekeeper if you actually read the bug and
considered it objectively, would you?  You didn't really want me to
contribute to Ubuntu either, did you?  Because that's just annoying,
when all these people keep finding problems and telling you about them,
and expecting you to read what they've written before making a snap
judgment.  It's much easier to shoot first and ask questions later.
Yeah, keep doing that.  That's working.  I'm almost wetting my pants
with enthusiasm to sign up.

2009-11-26 Thread WubiNeophyte
Am having the same problem.

First on upgrade from Jaunty, then on fresh install of Karmic.  From the
command line, I'm getting a warning about SELinux when I start gnome-
system-monitor.  Tried fixing that in the Jaunty upgrade by installing
SELinux, but I think that conflicts with AppArmour, and I eventually
managed to hose myself, forcing the fresh install of Karmic.

I'm seeing a similar problem in the Notify OSD applet, and I was seeing
this under my initial (Gnome) installation of Ubuntu.  I've since
switched to the xfce-desktop, and I'm still seeing the issue.

I suspect this has something to do with the framebuffer.  I was also
seeing a more widespread issue from the Karmic Gnome Desktop before I
turned off effects (turned off compiz?).  The machine in question is a
Dell Latitude C610.  This is definitely a regression from Jaunty.  Is
there a way to indicate that?

[Bug 407853] [NEW] Unable to use TRENDnet TEW-221PC out-of-the-box

2009-08-01 Thread WubiNeophyte
Public bug reported:

As was suggested by Leann Ogasawara on bug 105247, I am filing a new bug
to resolve the issue I am having with my wifi card, as that bug has been
closed for non-responsiveness of the reporter.

I own a TRENDnet TEW-221PC, and I'm told it is supported by the ADM8211
wifi driver, however, the card is not working for me out-of-the-box, and
I was told at one point in the past that it should.  I believe that was
when Ubuntu picked up the adm8211 kernel drivers.

I'm currently running Jaunty Jackalope, and I suspect the PCMCIA card
because my USB adapter seems to work fine between the same computer and
access point.

The activity light blinks, but I don't seem to get a link indication,
and the network manager doesn't seem to indicate a wireless network.

There were some diagnostic steps mentioned on bug 105247, and I believe
I can do those if it is relevant, but I am mostly available on weekends.
Please bear with me.

Thanks!

I'm unsure whether it is related or not, but I am having difficulties
getting my ADM8211 card to work with the newly minted Jaunty Jackalope
on a fresh install.  I have a USB wireless device that browses the local
network fine, but the ADM8211 doesn't.

It doesn't even appear to be correctly recognized.  One of the two LEDs
blinks amber every 15-20 seconds or thereabouts, but I don't get a link
indication.

Unfortunately, I haven't been using that card with Ubuntu for a while,
so I don't recall exactly, but I believe I was successfully using this
device with Ubuntu a while back.  Feisty, perhaps?

Please advise, should I start a new bug, or should I post the output

take some doing, or I would already have posted the info.

[Bug 355822] [NEW] Can't assign workspace names in baseline Ubuntu 8.10

2009-04-05 Thread WubiNeophyte
Public bug reported:

First off, I should say that I'm not an expert.  I had an old install of
Ubuntu that I used infrequently; I believe it was 7.04.  Mostly, I was
using Windows, and had installed Wubi.  I believe the Wubi install was
8.04.  Anyway, Windows crashed (see my boot.ini report for details), and
I couldn't recover Windows (or Wubi).  I've spent all weekend re-
installing Windows to a new hard disk, downloading Service Packs, Anti-
Virus upgrades, and so on, and figuring out how to set up grub to not
step on Windows.

Since I couldn't dist-upgrade 7.04 directly, I downloaded a Ubuntu
8.10 ISO, and installed from it.  So, I now have what I believe is a
new, fairly stock dual-boot system.

The problem I am having now is that I can't figure out how to rename my
workspaces.  I used to be able to do this, although I'm not sure whether
it was under 7.04 or 8.04.  From chats on IRC with Brucevdk, I currently
understand the situation to be this: compiz doesn't support the renaming
the same way MetaCity did.  As I understand it, the window manager
switched underneath me, and the functionality went away.  Brucevdk
pointed me at bug 129152, but the bug is closed, discussion there is
long and muddled in separate issues, and seems to apply to non-current
versions.  I wanted to make sure my current issue was addressed.
Additionally, I have further concerns regarding documentation (below).

Returning to the main issue:  I can right-click on the window manager
windows, and bring up the preferences window, but the Workspace
Switcher Preferences window that shows up only has two inputs: one for
number of columns, and one for number of rows.  I don't see a UI for
naming workspaces (I have 4 workspaces, 1 row, 4 columns) like I
remember.  For all I know this could be a UI glitch, not a window
manager difference.  In any case, I don't think I've strayed from the
8.10 defaults.  The Visual Effects tab under the
System-Preferences-Appearance menu shows Normal.  I mention it,
because it's not clear to me what these mean, but seems important to
various parties.  If this controls whether the window manager is
Metacity or Compiz, then you should know that this isn't at all obvious
to a newbie.

Secondary issue, possibly for a separate bug:  I looked at the help for
the Workspaces that is found by right-clicking the Help icon on the
panel application for the workspace manager.  It didn't give any
insight into naming these desktop workspaces under compiz.  If the info
is there, I couldn't find it.  I felt surprised that the old behavior
(naming workspaces) wasn't documented at a minimum, and that there
wasn't an obvious workaround, now that the behavior seems to have
changed.

Am filing this bug under libwnck, since bug 129152 was confirmed under
that package, and I can't offer a better guess.

[Bug 355389] [NEW] duplicate listing in Add/Remove Applications

2009-04-04 Thread WubiNeophyte
Public bug reported:

I'm seeing what appears to be two identical copies of the MountManager
package in my Add/Remove applications listing.  I'm on a pretty recent
install, and I believe everything is up-to-date.  Ubuntu 8.10

[Bug 252900] Re: vfat : wubi 8.04.1-rev506 kernel upgrade fails

2009-02-22 Thread WubiNeophyte
Thanks daniel.

I've done as you suggested, and have converted Windows to NTFS, then
reinstalled Wubi.  Things seem to be working well now.  The convert to
NTFS also seems to have fixed a related problem, bug 332346.  I'm not
sure they're related, but any FAT32 workaround may want to consider that
bug as well.

[Bug 252900] Re: vfat : wubi 8.04.1-rev506 kernel upgrade fails

2009-02-20 Thread WubiNeophyte
Hi, I seem to have the same problem as mentioned above: can't install
linux-image-2.6.27-7 from Wubi.  While I've seen the comments above, I'm
unclear about the details of the workaround/solution.

1) If I'm converting a partition to NTFS, would I be doing this under Windows, 
or the Wubi image?
1a) If it's Windows fs that needs to be converted, is there a Wubi bug 
addressing this limitation?
1b) If it's a Ubuntu fs that needs to be converted, is there a Ubuntu bug 
addressing this?

2) I can't tell whether I can expect to see the problem again after I've
applied the recommended fix.  Is it a band-aid, or a permanent fix?
