we can however write a deb that can install a systray application... and we can have that be part of the next release, and all the .deb doesn't actually have to install something (at least more than one text file in the system documentation). Debs can call other programs, if it's just adding a line to the configuration file then use code from other configuration modifying debs... like postfix and grub.

So what is the preferred way in 9.10 to manage wifi-connections with KDE? The old knetworkmanager is removed, the system-control module isn't working at all. The upcoming karmic has a good chance to be the second kubuntu edition without useful instructions for beginners, how to manage network connections. ** Attachment added: wifi-910-alpha1.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31682713/wifi-910-alpha1.png -- Release notes need to tell upgrade users how to add new network-manager widget https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I still don't get it, there is no sensible way on how to automagically add the widget (which is not there in 9.10 anyway), so kubuntu-default- settings is as wrong as it can get (also, at the point where you won't end up with the widget you have a heavily modified plasma setup and probably wont even get new widgets from KDE upgrades without manually adding it. ... I think you really want the update-manager to _not_ recommend updating or to at least warn the user properly, so I am moving the bug there. ** Package changed: kubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) = update-manager (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: AaronPeterson (alpeterson) = (unassigned) -- Release notes need to tell upgrade users how to add new network-manager widget https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 349066] Re: Release notes need to tell upgrade users how to add new network-manager widget
Assigned to me because otherwise it would be marked closed even though it isn't fixed. (Network Manager still doesn't work in my kubuntu 9.04, it drops the wifi connection when the screen saver goes OFF... and then it doesn't re-establish the connection until I select the wifi network, and it acts like it totally forgot the wep key... and if I just close the dialog where it asks me to input the settings... it connects!?! Anyway, network manager is not compatible with the previous version of the network program...In kubuntu 8.10 I got the notification that 9.04 was ready to install.. It should have told me in that same message any steps that I would have to do manually to get it to work. as it was, the upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 made my computer unusuable (it knocked out my wifi) until I found a place with a wired network. (I was prepaired for breakage... I'm not personally harmed, I know these things happen.. I'm trying things out to report what happens... and then when I report complete severe breakage, I get shrugged off. ... I believe somebody noted that the message that said an upgrade was available was in default-settings -- and that needs to share urgent release notes... It doesn't make much sense to me why it's kubuntu- default-settings... 3 problems, the 8.10 lead us blindly to 9.04 and 9.04 doesn't properly import 8.10 network settings, 9.04 doesn't even come with a network manager -- Release notes need to tell upgrade users how to add new network-manager widget https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 349066] Re: Release notes need to tell upgrade users how to add new network-manager widget
It's worse than than just importing them, they are lost in the upgrade. This new network manager has potential, but perhaps it just needs to be removed from the upgrade, and the old one kept in. This needs to be done soon. Seriously, this will result in people stopping using kubuntu because it's unusable after the upgrade. It also keeps asking for kdewallet, and there is no obvious way to do the system connection that should be done. Also, the network manager icon shouldn't completely change how it looks, it makes in not visible (yes it sounds like I'm describing a different bug, but no, it's all the same--- kubuntu looses network conenctivity on upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04) -- Release notes need to tell upgrade users how to add new network-manager widget https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a deal breaker, Please warn people BEFORE upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04, as this locked me out of my network because I didn't know the wep key to look for help... and I actually looked for a plasmoid instictively.. found it and it didn't work. Also, we could simply make a separate program that says how to do it, yes it's hackish but it's better than wicd I had to find a hard jack. and had to install wicd to get it to work. So when you say won't fix... you say you don't want anybody to use your software... I hope you mean, need easy way to fix before accepting. There are creative ways to make this work...

[Bug 349066] Re: Release notes need to tell upgrade users how to add new network-manager widget
I'm sorry you ran into this problem when you upgraded, but the release notes exist for documenting exactly this sort of issue and this issue /has/ been documented in the release notes. The update-manager also provides a link to the release notes when presenting you with the option to upgrade. I don't think a separate program here makes much sense.

[Bug 349066] Re: Release notes need to tell upgrade users how to add new network-manager widget
Steve, You're right, a seporate program might be too much. I believe the update program should warn people to gather their wep keys and other network authentication because it will be lost in the upgrade. Basically, I think the pop-up note saying :hey, do you want to do a dist-upgrade?.. it should just say that a dist-upgrade is available, and a link to the the release notes, the release notes should say how to start the upgrade, because it implies that the person spent the time to read the important notes. I believe your release notes are ok. I know that something needs to be done to avoid stranding the user. \ This Kubuntu KDE and network manager are way cool and well done, This is just a severe case of putting a hole infront of the user and removing the guard rail so it's easy for them to make a bridge, but the sign doesn't say where to get the bridge... (there is a small note to the documents that say where the bridge is...) I knew I could have problems when upgrading, so I had methods to stay online...
