I think this is a different bug. Sounds like the file has moved to a different location.

Hi, TheGZeus [2008-04-09 11:42 -]: > Correction: manual removal/install of fwcutter works. > Still a bit disconcerting the jockey doesn't remove/give the option to remove > the package. If you disable the Broadcom driver, it is actually supposed to remove the package. It does not purge it, though, which means the configuration files and in particular the debconf question result (which was never answered) does not get removed. Maybe I should fix jockey to purge the package instead of remove. Please tell me if that works (see my other mail).

Say yes (press > enter) to the question whether to download the firmware. Does this fetch > and install /lib/firmware/b43/ properly? We already confirmed that synaptic reinstall does indeed fetch the firmware. Only restricted-drivers manager seem broken. ( Another problem I had was that synaptic did not respect the proxy which I thought the installer put in apt.conf, so in fact I had to ctl-c and do it manually. Synaptic however prompted the user whether or not the firmware should be fetched, but then it tried to directly connect to openwrt:80, not via my proxy set in apt.conf, gnome-wide-settings, and synaptic proxy settings ) I just did a apt-get --reinstall install b43-fwcutter, and the firmware was not fetched and the user not prompted for it. Let's purge it first... OK, yes, now I am prompted, I choose yes, and it uses the proxy in apt.conf. I don't see any terminal output of the firmware extraction though... should it not show more? regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ -- [Hardy]b43-fwcutter install script fails to fetch firmware in first run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197819 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
