Re: [ubuntu-uk] upgrades? updates?
Alan, alan c wrote: Is automatic update and upgrade both the same thing? I would usually change from one version to the next by manual install - if I used the automatic method would it be called 'upgrade'? In kubuntu adept package manager I see a menu item 'Full Upgrade' is this intended for going to the next version? For the package security or bugs updates - are these only called 'updates'? In my head, I would call a 'manual install' a re-install as you are wiping the system and starting again. The thing that tells you about new versions of packages I call updates (or security updates, as they tend to be dominated by security fixes), and hitting the button 'upgrade' in update manager I call an upgrade. The advantage of the upgrade method is that it preserves all your system configuration and also keeps all the extra packages that have been installed.

[ubuntu-uk] Graphical configuration for ndiswrapper in Feisty
Hi, I've been trying to wean a newbie off Pardus with its risible attitude to security (as he explains, the reason I want to use Linux isn't the security, it's the stability), but with his minimal command line skills Kubuntu needs to have graphical tools for installing wireless card drivers via ndiswapper. Does Feisty provide that kind of tool? Regards, Michael -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Graphical configuration for ndiswrapper in Feisty
Yes it does mate: The Ndisgtk package does this (Windows Wireless Drivers in add/remove programs). Install it and it creates a Windows Wireless Drivers entry in system administration. You can now point it to the .inf file from a Windows driver disk You never know it just might work ;-) Chris On 21/04/07, Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've been trying to wean a newbie off Pardus with its risible attitude to security (as he explains, the reason I want to use Linux isn't the security, it's the stability), but with his minimal command line skills Kubuntu needs to have graphical tools for installing wireless card drivers via ndiswapper.

[ubuntu-uk] Feisty 7.04 restart problem (shutdown)
I have 7.04 on a laptop and the restart works ok. However on a desktop (which works with any other distro I have tried) the restart does not complete - it seems to hang before shutdown (no screen display at that stage) and I have to force power off. This actually causes file systems to be 'not clean' to show at restart. Shutdown works ok on both machines. I have not tried options other than restart, I only ever use shutdown or restart, but finding 'restart' to be a problem like this is a bit of a surprise. Is there anything I can do to ensure a proper shutdown within the restart function? -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

It looks as if the pre-crash actions were virtually complete, because very little actually downloaded (if anything) during this 'recovery' action. Just curious, do you know what crashed?
