Re: [Bug 1748839] Re: Problem to connect to WPA2/PEAP WIFI - gnome-shell

[Martin Wildam]

Hi,

I really do not remember any more how that somehow disappeared. Could
it be that changing the channel at the wifi router could help?
Unfortunately I did not remember that I reported the problem otherwise
I would have immediately reported a possible workaround.

Best regards, Martin.

I would have expected something in dmesg. After test, check timestamps
of other logfiles in /var/log - maybe you then find a log which contains
useful information.

[Bug 1783873] Re: auto-type user and password not working (too fast?)

[Martin Wildam]

Sorry for the delay.

@Christophe Perrot (krys74): I don't have more than one keyboard layouts. So if 
you find this to be an issue in your case then you have a different problem 
than me. However, I tried with editor and retried posting user name and 
password a lot of times - always with correct result.
In my tests I found out that in Firefox on sites where I did not decide yet 
whether to save passwords or not on this site (you see the key symbol on the 
left next to the url) then on tab somethings looks like to steal the focus for 
a moment and of course that may then consume a posted character before the 
password field gets the focus.

However, on other sites where I already decided to never save passwords,
the issue also occurs. These sites are sometimes a little slow in
reaction due to a lot of javascript stuff that wants to run (some stuff
is prevented by Adblock plus and NoScript).

@Dominik (burnin2leo):
Yes, it must be some timing issue - thanks for the tip with the delay! That 
works like a charm! Thumbs up - you made my day! On one site that always has 
the issue a delay of {DELAY 500} was sufficient.

[Bug 1783873] Re: auto-type user and password not working (too fast?)

[Martin Wildam]

When I switched over to Ubuntu 18.04 I also switched hardware to a much
faster one. So really that can be the reason why I did not have the
problem earlier.

I was not aware of the fact that there is such a thing like the {DELAY
500} autotype command. This is fully sufficient for me!

[Bug 1748839] Re: Problem to connect to WPA2/PEAP WIFI - gnome-shell

[Martin Wildam]

I am glad that I could help somehow. I had the issue with a wifi provided by a 
Ubiquity AaccessPoint. I am pretty sure that there was no update on that in the 
meantime as it was a new install and configuration (however I am not the admin 
on that net and I have no details).
In the meantime I got an update on openvpn, bind9, dnsutils, liblwres160, 
libdns-export1100, libdns1100 - which maybe could have an impact (just wild 
guessing from the library names). No kernel update in the meantime, I am on 
4.15.0-34-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 27 15:21:48.
I am pretty sure that in my case it was only because although I tested with a 
few different settings on my first attempts, the solution was just using the 
correct settings (fitting the Access Point configuration).

[Bug 1748839] Re: Problem to connect to WPA2/PEAP WIFI - gnome-shell

In my case I was able to solve the problem by changing some settings:
Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
* Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP)
* No certificate is required: Checked
PEAP version: Automatic
* Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2

Now I am not sure, if I am simply not affected by the bug and solely had
wrong settings - or if probably this helps also others to solve their
wifi issue.

[Bug 1783873] [NEW] auto-type user and password not working (too fast?)

[Martin Wildam]

Public bug reported:

Since I am on a new machine with Ubuntu 18.04 (previously on 14.04 and
16.04 - and worked on both) I have a problem with auto-type (keepass2
v2.39.1).

On various websites (be it LinkedIn, XING, Outlook Web Access and many
others) I cannot auto-type user AND password (usually sequence
{USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}).

The user name still gets typed correctly, but then somehow on or after
the {TAB} the problem begins as on {ENTER} I get notified by the
websites that I typed a wrong password. As there are only asterix
characters I cannot exactly tell where it fails.

To me it seems that after the {TAB} some characters are not auto-typed
correctly. However the cursor lands in the password field and also does
type something. I think some characters simply get lost. My new machine
is quite fast and probably it would help if auto-type would be a little
slower (just a guess).

My current workaround is to have two autotype sequences: One for
{USERNAME}{TAB} and the other for {PASSWORD}{ENTER}. So I have two press
two times the hotkey for auto-type choosing the first sequence and then
the second. Doing it this way works.

Had the similar issues now and it looks like - after some experiments -
that unity tweak tool is compromising ccsm settings somehow. I have
deaktivated workspace settings, window spread, window snapping, hot
corners and then reapplied my ccsm settings (from a backup file). Now it
seems that all my ccsm settings work (even after reboot).

Re: [Bug 1662227] Re: Error with command "apt-get update" when using libreoffice PPA

[Martin Wildam]

Hi,
you are right - I checked situation on my system. Interestingly back
then I also had the errors using GUI like Software updater or synaptic
to install the updates. Looks like I also only removed the
libreoffice-l10n package and installed libreoffice-l10n-en-gb and
libreoffice-l10n-de instead - or if I remember right, those were
already installed anyway.

A sudo apt-get update on the commandline still brings up the same
warnings also for me.

So frankly, in the GUI I do not get warnings any more, but on the
commandline I do (or I did overlook them somehow in the GUI).

Best regards, Martin.

Uninstall the libreoffice-l10n then reactivate the repository and try
updating and only then do reinstall the libreoffice-l10n. I think to
remember, that I did it that way. However, since then I already go
another LibreOffice-Update not showing up with that error any more.

I am not an Ubuntu developer, but as far as I know, lately most things
happening, happen in the background / under the hood (e.g. X11
replacement). And of course this might cause more bugs rising
(temporary). And yes, I also experience some issues, such as
[Bug 792085] Re: Automatic remount of safely removed USB 3.0 drive
which finally got fixed (even if on launchpad it is not yet marked as
fix released).
But I am still fine with the overall stability and I use Ubuntu all
day on my primary work laptop and several other machines/devices.

I found 2 bugs you are following which are older. One is Bug #304345:
"File chooser dialog doesn't provide network access" - which is a
duplicate of another bug which has been fixed. The other is Bug
#971219: "Remmina Crashes with when connecting to some RDP hosts"
which in reality is not an Ubuntu issue only. People write that it
depends on the certificate on the remote Windows machine. And oh yes,
there is a third issue that is related to launchpad itself. Is that
what you identify as reduced overall Ubuntu stability? What I see at
co-workers and customers what they fight with Windows, I am still way
better off with Linux.

My experience is that the better details on a problem you serve the
better the answer is, what you get.
So maybe try to provide more exact details on your problems to help
the developers finding the bug faster.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Martin Wildam]

PC and laptop times are not over, no, tablets and mobile phones are
not an alternative. Alternative devices may obsolete a PC at many
places, but: For those who want a PC or laptop if they go to a shop,
they still pretty everywhere only find Windows. There should be some
hardware that comes preinstalled with Linux/Ubuntu (and maybe not only
the old slow hardware), but this is not the case (neither for the
older hardware).

So this bug is very clearly not-solved. It might be obsolete, if
Android is used on PCs also and even the CAD users have there software
running on Android also.

[Bug 1274193] Re: Nautilus Extract Here interprets backslashes as characters not directories

[Martin Wildam]

Approximately every 2 weeks I am downloading a few ZIP files from the
same location (they change usually about once a week containing windows
setup files). Suddenly I am experiencing this issue (using Ubuntu 14.04
- Archive Manager v3.10.2.1) with these zips. I cannot see any related
update being done on my machine lately that may have introduced this
behaviour.

However, extracting the ZIP on the commandline using 'unzip' produces the 
desired output.
I tried unzip on the commandline also with the zip that has been attached by 
Vaclav Petras and that also works here on the commandline but not using 
file-roller or Extract... in Nautilus.

Same for me - I also have system language set to english but in

I wonder why this problem suddenly occurs. And I don't understand why
it mentions libreoffice-l10n where I only have packages with
additional language abbrevation suffix libreoffice-l10n-.
... But I am not a package maintainer so I am probably missing some
basic knowledge here.

You mean 80 % of the computer usage that nobody really needs is now
done using tablets and phones. Apart from storekeepers that nowadays
do their checklists and confirm their good receipts via tablet I
barely see people doing their real work via phone or tablet (at least
apart from writing emails). Or would you say 80 % of the computer work
is e-mailing. mmmhh - could even be... ;-)

My experience is, that everybody still uses desktop or laptop - at
least for the more sophisticated work. I don't know a single person
who owns just a phone or tablet and not also a desktop or laptop
computer. Of course I would put desktops and laptop together in the
group. Anyway, Bug 1 is not fixed yet!

This is simply not the case. Sorry for repeating, but it seems to me
that somehow the original idea has been forgotten. And a smartphone is
not a PC and a tablet isn't either! I do not know a single person
using a smart phone or tablet as a replacement for the PC - in best
case those mobile devices are used _in addition to_ PC or laptop.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Martin Wildam]

Neither the way Microsoft will/says/wants bringing Ubuntu to Windows
nor the rise of Android on the mobile phones is IMHO an argument to
mark Bug 1 solved.

Even from the usability of the basic operating system I think there
are still to-dos left to make more people move to Linux - apart from
the bigger problem of 3rd-party Windows-only-application lockin and
dependency of formats that are Windows-only (only yesterday I was
confronted with a QuarkXpress user and couldn't tell, what Linux app
can open and edit them).

I mean there are basics like this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/285493/how-to-show-full-date-and-time-in-nautilus-files-3-6-list-view
- Not sure if everything fixed in
https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/nauty-mods has found
it's way into the latest Ubuntu 14.04 and into 16.04 (will check when
it's out).

Or like this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/792085

There are other annoyances and none of them will hold back those who
know well about the benefits of Linux, but it may hold back new users
when they try Ubuntu for a week and struggle with such basic things.
And as long as users do not definitely request and demand for Linux
they won't get it from the hardware vendors because they don't care if
the users don't care.

   Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC
   marketplace. This is a bug which Ubuntu and other projects are meant
   to fix. As the philosophy of the Ubuntu Project states, Our work is
   driven by a belief that software should be free and accessible to
   all.

   Ubuntu software is free. Always was, always will be. Free software
 gives everyone the freedom to use it however they want and share with
 whoever they like. This freedom has huge benefits. At one end of the
 spectrum it enables the Ubuntu community to grow and share its collective
 experience and expertise to continually improve all things Ubuntu. At the
 other, we are able to give access to essential software for those who
 couldn’t otherwise afford it – an advantage that’s keenly felt by
 individuals and organisations all over the world.
* http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/our-philosophy

   Non-free software leaves users at the mercy of the software owner and
   concentrates control over the technology which powers our society into
   the hands of a few. Additionally, proprietary software stifles
   innovation, maintains artificial scarcities, and enables malicious
   anti-features such as DRM, surveillance, and other monopolistic
   practices.

   This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

   Steps to repeat:

   1. Visit a local PC store.
   2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software.

   What happens:

   Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-
   installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating
   system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be
   proprietary.

   What should happen:

   A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software.

[Bug 1268097] Re: [System settings] Can't set user-supplied ring tone

[Martin Wildam]

Iam also on the bq aquaris and I tried downloading an mp3 ringtone with
uDropCabin hoping it offers me to open the file with an application that
can set it as ringtone. Usually when playing music on Android, i* etc
devices you have always an option to set current music as a ringtone.

I even tried via contacts to choose a ringtone but it seems there is
even no chance to set a separate ringtone for different people.

Essential features missing here in my opinion.

Re: [Bug 937522] Re: rdp clipboard sync doesn't work anymore.

[Martin Wildam]

I am on Ubuntu 12.04, Remmina 0.9.99.1 and whenever I experience the
issue then logging off the session and logging in again solves the
problem. Another co-incidence with the problem may be (still not yet
fully analyzed) when TeamViewer is running in the remote session. This
might interfere with clipboard-synch-operations.

 I no longer had this problem when I reverted back to an older version
 (process described in my earlier comment) under Ubuntu 12.04. As well,
 this issue is marked as resolved so the developers feel the fixed the
 bug and presumably pushed out a new version.

 If this bug is STILL occurring to you running the latest release of
 Remmina on 14.04 for example, maybe this bug should be reopened?

Re: [Bug 937522] Re: rdp clipboard sync doesn't work anymore.

[Martin Wildam]

Same issue here - sometimes it works, sometimes not. After several
tests I found out, that when it does not work, it helps logging out
the remote session (instead of just closing the window leaving the
session running) and logging in again. After a fresh login it works
again.

Talked with somebody using Windows at his laptop and he told me he
experiences the same issue. So this seems to be a Windows-issue.

Best regards, Martin.

 @mwildam: [...] ALL OF THEM

 Why is that? And not sure it's true for all.

Because Computer work is not only web surfing and email. Imagine a
photographer, technical designer, architect, lawyers, ..., and pretty
everyone working in IT - just to give a few examples. Imagine all the
people working with branch specific software - e.g. dental technician.
- I cannot imagine any of those working on a smartphone or tablet
only.


 For the global perspective most people probably do not have a PC while
 they may have a smartphone. You could say they only surf the web..

Of course - somebody cleaning toilets all day long (and this example
is not because I do not appreciate the work of those!) does not need a
high sophisticated operating system and neither does a waitress!
But do you want to build an OS that an IT guy and lawyer likes to use
or do you want to build one that is likes by a waitress? - Both should
be satisfied, but let's be honest: If you need to mail and surf the
web only then it is pretty irrelevant which OS you use!


 In India and other countries Android is the most popular operating
 system including for browsing the web; according to Statcounter; Mobile
 usage has already overtaken desktop [...]

That is no wonder - you should get also statistics about how many
people are working in which branch and: I do a lot of web surfing on
my way to work or to customers while traveling - reading (IT) news for
example. But while programming or writing concept documents
at/for/with customers nearly no web network traffic is produced. And
guess what: Usability and software features are far more relevant to
me in these situations! - So be aware that such statistics are partly
useless if it comes to usage of an operating system. Please do _not_
reduce computer work to email, web surfing and chat!

And I am still convinced that this bug 1 has been closed prematurely.

Best regards, Martin.

 Bug description:
   IMPACT:

   See description.

   SRU TESTCASE:

   0. make sure libreoffice writer is not pinned to the launcher
   1. open libreoffice writer
   2. save a .odt file
   3. close libreoffice
   4. open the .odt file directly from the location it was saved to.

   What should happen:
   a new icon for libreoffice writer should appear, not the generic
 libreoffice icon.

   REGRESSION POTENTIAL:

   Low, has already been well tested, but test again everything in this
   bug report.

   -ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION-

   LibreOffice applications are not coming up on the launcher properly as
   of a few weeks ago (can't remember exactly when).

   If Calc or Draw is locked to launcher, all is normal.
   Opening a specific application via the dash works as normal too.

   However, problems arise if you open a document directly (from the dash
   or double clicking in Nautilus) when there is no icon pinned to the
   launcher:

   Case #1
   A white generic Liberoffice icon appears - not the proper application
 icon (eg a green one for Calc, a yellow one for Draw). If more documents
 are opened, no more wee triangles appear and the icon becomes useless: it
 cannot be clicked to switch to any open instance. There is no way to switch
 to it if the window is minimized, as now LibreOffice no longer appears in
 the alt-tab switcher.

   Close LibreOffice.
   Open a file directly again.

   Case #2
   Now the proper icon appears - but with an empty hole in between launcher
 and icon. If more documents are opened the white triangles appear and
 alt-tab still works, but the hole remains. Sometimes the hole is two icons
 wide.

   Close LibreOffice.
   Repeat.

   Case #1 now reapers, and it will go back and forth ad infinitum.

   Note that I don't get this problem with Writer or Impress, which is
   pretty weird. [EDIT: a number of people are also seeing the bug with
   Writer and Impress]

   I've tried this with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 and the PPA version
   (currently 3.5.5.3). I've also tested using lo-menubar and not, but it
   makes no difference. I've also tested it on two separate computers
   using Precise and purged all of LibreOffice and reinstalled... all to
   no avail.

   Thanks.

   EDIT:

   This bug had been previously reported (and fixed) in Bug #842566.
   Please do not mark this report as a duplicate of the afore-mentioned as
 it has been asked to create a new report when this issue reappeared (see
 this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/842566/comments/142)

   WORKAROUND:

   Missing windows can be found by using the super + W (for QWERTY
 keyboards; super + Z for AZERTY keyboards) to use the spread function.
   This is also possible by using something like Ubuntu Tweak and setting a
 hotcorner wich triggers the spread function.

[Bug 1057929] Re: compiz process running but plugin bindings lost

[Martin Wildam]

I did not have this problem for a longer period, but since one of the
latest updates - maybe one of the kernel updates - I have this again and
in approx 70 % of the boots. Again compiz --replace helps. Ok, easy
workaround, but anyway it is annoying.

As far as I can tell it seems that if I wait longer after startup before
logging in, possibility increases that I don't have to do a compiz
--replace.

Maybe there is just some startup dependency missing.

Currently using Ubuntu 12.04 with 3.8 kernel:

[Bug 577959] Re: secondary monitor is not correctly initialized

[Martin Wildam]

Since a longer while I usually use only one monitor, either the laptop
internal one or only the external one (laptop closed and attached to
docking station). However, I did have several presentations lately using
beamer as secondary monitor. It worked flawlessly either in mirror or
non-mirror mode.

Side note: In the meantime I also switched laptop and from Ubuntu 10.04
to 12.04, so if this problem was related to particular motherboard or
Linux Kernel, maybe the change of the laptop could have solved the issue
(previously I had a Dell Latitude E5500, no I use a Dell Latitude
E6530). But both were Intel graphics and not ATI.

Why there should be a difference? - Well, although most people I know do
have a smartphone (or two - a private one and a business phone) and maybe
also have a tablet, ALL OF THEM do their main computer work with a PC or
laptop. You cannot assume that most of the serious computer work is done
from an Android phone or tablet. And IMHO that won't be the case for the
next years.


   This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

   Steps to repeat:

   1. Visit a local PC store.
   2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software.

   What happens:

   Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-
   installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating
   system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be
   proprietary.

   What should happen:

   A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software.



Best regards, Martin.

Re: [Bug 212588] Re: Does not start

[Martin Wildam]

By accident sitting in front of an Ubuntu 12.10 and tried the default
freemind 0.9.0 package from the repositories.

Looks like my patch is not applied but freemind starts fine.
Maybe /usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh has been changed in the
meantime or it is due to the fact that this machine here is a very default
installation:
/usr/bin/java - /etc/alternatives/java
/etc/alternatives/java - /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java

while my machine has several java versions installed (as part of my work is
java development) and this is why maybe freemind's way of finding the
correct java installation struggles in the case when multiple java versions
are available on the machine (did not investigate the java-wrappers.sh in
detail).

Re: [Bug 871012] Re: Missing window title bar after automaximize

[Martin Wildam]

In my current case (Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox 25.0.1) I don't have any
maximizing or missing title bar in maximized state (HUD displays fine
when moving cursor to top).
So from my point of view (as the reporter of this bug) the bug seems
to be fixed in Ubuntu 12.04.

Re: [Bug 820820] Re: cups-pdf should not convert PDF print jobs to PS then to PDF

[Martin Wildam]

The point is that printing e.g. from Firefox to cups-pdf works with the
older versions of cups-pdf and does not with recent versions (for the same
websites).

Why not print to file, you ask: It is simply a lot more steps (more clicks
and manually entering a filename).

I do not really understand, why this long discussion instead of reverting
the changes that caused the issue. pdf-printing was a solved problem for
years and now suddenly became an issue.

[Bug 1076018] Re: Duplicate Launcher icon after opening a Writer document

[Martin Wildam]

This is a very annoying bug and did not happen before this summer (I
cannot definitely say when that started to occur). And this is
reproducable on completely different machine.

What does it need now to proceed here?

The somehow maybe related Bug #1026426 (that's another one, not what
Matthew mentioned) did not solve the problem for me (12.04 64-bit bamf
0.2.126) - and still there after upgrading LibreOffice to version
4.1.1.2, Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) right now.

My older laptop (32-bit) with older LibreOffice but same BAMF works
fine.

[Bug 1026426] Re: LibreOffice Unity integration - opening an .odt file from dash or nautilus should yield correct icon and allow switching between the subsequently opened LO windows

[Martin Wildam]

Bug again here since my last updates, currently using LibreOffice 4.1.0.4 on 
Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.
bamf reported to be installed is 0.2.126.

Tried with or without logo=0 - different results looking like a race
condition - basically what others already reported.

And although setting logo=0 I get an oosplash process started alongside
soffice.bin. Don't get the sense of that.

Interestingly, when I start libreoffice plain (from the dash) I get a
slightly different icon as if I start it by double-clicking a .odt file.
The grouping works when I double click a .doc or .docx file. So somehow
problem must be related to mime-types opened.

Similar behaviour with calc and impress (didn't test base because I
don't really use it).

I am sooo frustrated - during the last months several problems with
libreoffice, other very old bugs still not solved although hoped a lot
for 4.1.0.4. I (still) hate Windows but such basic problems never made
it into a release of a version or patch.

[Martin Wildam]

I found an older laptop that haven't updated for a while - also Ubuntu
12.04, but 32-bit. Found same bamf version there (0.2.126) but no
problem with Libreoffice (being still in version 3-something). Tried to
copy the relevant .desktop-files from the working version without
success.

[Bug 1026426] Re: LibreOffice Unity integration - opening an .odt file from dash or nautilus should yield correct icon and allow switching between the subsequently opened LO windows

[Martin Wildam]

I have also tried copying over the desktop files from the other
workstation that is working (with older libreoffice-version). Did not
help. I still get random effects (doubled icon, not any icon, second and
third icon when opening a document, icon with question-mark).

What I still cannot get rid of: When starting libreoffice writer (as
example, all the latest tests I did only with writer although the other
modules seem to behave in the same way) the icon is slightly different
from the variant I see when double-clicking a file.

I tried linking to the same icon in desktop file that I guess is used
when double-clicking (scalable svg-icon), but without success (see mini-
screenshot Icon-Difference).

Can somebody explain to me how the business logic of BAMF is? So that
I can get an idea what it takes for grouping?

In my current situation I don't get any grouping for LibreOffice (any
more).

When opening several files in parallel by double-click I get the same
icon but still not grouped so I really do not know what it still takes
to get BAMF knowing that it has to group.

However, I think there is a bug in LibreOffice here too or another
module different from BAMF because my other laptop with older
LibreOffice but same BAMF works fine.

Hi,

 Wow, i find it amazing that you don't see more people using mobile or 
 hand-held devices in your town!
 Also amazing that you can't buy any hand-held or mobile devices anywhere.
 Such devices have already pretty much taken over here in the Uk.

Of course mobile devices are all around also here in Austria, but:
Mobile devices are an addon - they help on the go and they are good
for consuming IT content, but they are bad when it comes to
production like Programming, Document Writing, Foto Editing, Desktop
Publishing, Design, CAD, ...

This is why I do give nothing on those news headliner telling that the
PC era is over.
Of course: A lot of people do use a computer (approx guess) 80 %
internet surving or watching video, 10 % email reading and 10 % email
writing. - Those are perfectly service with a large enough tablet.
Anyway I do not know any tablet or smartphone user not having also a
laptop or PC at home.

BTW: I consider PC and laptop as both being relevant for this bug #1.


 However i do agree that this bug is not really fixed.  Quite the contrary!

Yes, indeed!


 Now is the time to really start working at it!  Now that mobile devices and 
 hand-helds have become so common-place it
 should be easier to go into stores and demand peripherals (such as printers, 
 wireless routers etc) that are GnuLinux
 friendly.  Demands such as I need a printer for work but need to know that i 
 will be able to print from my Android.

This is an uncommon use case. What I see always: Documents are sent by
email to somebody who has the desired printer on his laptop or PC
already configured in the list of available printers. At least 2 times
a week I am at customers and I would never go to connect to a wild
number of printers and after changing to the next phone model have to
do it again anyway. I already reduce the list of configured W-LAN
entries in my phone. Even if it would be just 2 clicks or touches away
- I first would have to ask some person at customer side to what
printer I should send the document xy, would maybe need to configure
page size, make sure enough paper is in the trays and so on. Apart
from the fact that on many network printers you first need to login
anyway and have to be within the customers real network and not only
in the guest W-LAN.

  So, is this printer GnuLinux friendly?

This of course is an issue sometimes, but I experience less problems
to get a Linux compatible printer than a Linux compatible laptop/PC.


  or I need a wireless router so that my Android can access my home/work 
 network.
 Does this router have drivers for GnuLinux?

I never heard of drivers I need on my client to support particular
routers. Routers are running their own operating system inside and
most of them alreasy run a flavour of Linux ASFAIK. I do consider
routers - as servers - already to be taken over by Linux.

Best regards, Martin.

Not only visiting a shop you still mostly see Windows on the PCs, it took
me a lot of discussion and cost me about 200 bucks more than expected to
get a new PC from Dell (today) with Ubuntu preinstalled. First time, Dell
made troubles selling me a Windows-less PC, so for my experience here in
Austria things seem even to get worse.

But the positive point: Comparing to the words of Gandhi we are in the

 This bug is not fixed.  Based on the outlined steps to repeat:

 1. Visit a local PC store.
 2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software.

 At least in the Reno, NV area, the results of the steps to repeat
 involve relatively-nonexistent availability of free-and-open-source
 purchasing options; nearly all PCs sold here are preinstalled with
 either Windows or (in the case of those originally manufactured by
 Apple, Inc.) Mac OS X.  Some PCs can be purchased without operating
 systems if from a small vendor, but in those cases it's reliant upon me
 having technical experience and making it clear that I am capable of
 installing software myself; larger vendors do not offer this ability.
 Perhaps this is different in other areas (if it is, further
 clarification - as well as real estate listings and job offerings to
 assist with me packing my bags and moving - would be appreciated).

 While PC manufacturers are beginning to make their Linux offerings more
 apparent (namely, Dell, in addition to Linux-only vendors like
 System76), this is far from the mainstream, and PC users without
 technical experience/capability will likely be stuck with a non-free
 operating system preinstalled.

   Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC
   marketplace. This is a bug which Ubuntu and other projects are meant
   to fix. As the philosophy of the Ubuntu Project states, Our work is
   driven by a belief that software should be free and accessible to
   all.

   Ubuntu software is free. Always was, always will be. Free software
 gives everyone the freedom to use it however they want and share with
 whoever they like. This freedom has huge benefits. At one end of the
 spectrum it enables the Ubuntu community to grow and share its collective
 experience and expertise to continually improve all things Ubuntu. At the
 other, we are able to give access to essential software for those who
 couldn’t otherwise afford it – an advantage that’s keenly felt by
 individuals and organisations all over the world.
* http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/our-philosophy

   Non-free software leaves users at the mercy of the software owner and
   concentrates control over the technology which powers our society into
   the hands of a few. Additionally, proprietary software stifles
   innovation, maintains artificial scarcities, and enables malicious
   anti-features such as DRM, surveillance, and other monopolistic
   practices.

   This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

   Steps to repeat:

   1. Visit a local PC store.
   2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software.

   What happens:

   Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-
   installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating
   system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be
   proprietary.

   What should happen:

   A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software.

Sorry Mark, but as many above I also cannot consider this bug being
fixed. Only last week I wanted to buy a new Canonical certified
hardware from Dell - they definitely do not want to sell a non-Windows
PC to me. Best offer I could get (after insisting) is at about 1 third
more expensive. I never had such problems before with Dell and of
course this is not the first time I want to buy a non-Windows PC. -
Just to give an example. Similar issue at other places.

Yes, but these new devices mostly cannot be considered to be a
replacement for a desktop PC or laptop. Most people owning a tablet
also own a PC. For productive work in most cases a laptop or PC is
still the best choice. Tablets and Smartphones are still only a
secondary device used for emailing and news-reading (or playing) in
the very most cases.


 It's worth noting that today, if you're into cloud computing, the
 Microsoft IAAS team are both technically excellent and very focused on
 having ALL OS's including Linux guests like Ubuntu run extremely well on
 Azure, making them a pleasure to work with.

At the server side Linux already won a long time ago, but not at
client side and I always thought that Bug #1 focuses on the client.

I agree with you. However, from all the players Microsoft is the one
that affects me most (in a negative way). And I say this although (or
maybe exactly because of that ;-) ) I still know Windows better than
Linux.


 The biggest problem right now is
 'us'. I think we have a problem with Linux, with quality and with the
 direction in which things are going. Yes, I say we have a problem with
 quality and 100k+ bugs here.

Yes, you are right - too many bugs and e.g. such things as recently,
that an update of libreoffice makes all menus appearing empty should
definitely not occur (even if fixed pretty fast imagine how annoying
for all people under stress by finishing some documentation and then
menus are gone). So of course, quality should be better regardless of
the crap that others are producing. Pointing to others that they
produce even worse results is not a solution and bad behaviour even if
of course it is less annoying chosing the option that produces less
(long-term) troubles among the amount of crappy solutions.

And yes, instead of fighting (like Wayland vs Mir) there should be
more combined power.


 We have a problem with users still making a
 valid point in saying Ubuntu is to hard to install and to yet not usable
 in the same way and everywhere like the systems of our competitors.

The difference here is: The normal end user pretty seldom installs
Windows on his/her own (as in Companies this is done by IT departments
and at home by family members or friends who are more in IT - or it
already comes preinstalled) while Ubuntu they _have to_ install on
their own often because no Linux guy in reach and you can't get so
easily a machine with Linux preinstalled (we are back to bug #1 core
request here).


 All that is not Microsoft's fault. And even a major market share for a
 dinosaur like them is not a problem in the first place. However it
 matters whether our quality is better or not. Bill Gates was wrong when
 he replied to Jobs in the 80's that it doesn't matter. It does matter

Of course quality matters!
And if Ubuntu would be a type of Download one single install medium
for everything - insert install medium - click ok for default install
(or advanced to reach the options for the IT guys) and run
out-of-the-box on any hardware would be awesome so that even a
trained monkey could do it.

But still I see this as a secondary issue because installation is
already quite simple and easier than installing Windows (from scratch
with all the needed drivers).

 worked 'out of the box'.  On the same hardware, Windows 7 took about an

 installation was far more clunky than the Alpha version of Ubuntu.

Yup, I have similar experiences - but as I mentioned earlier, normal
Users usually don't install their computer on their own. And further:
I know people who bought a new PC (completely new hardware + Windows
preinstalled) because their PC got viruses and they never got an
installation media when buying their PC (and of course didn't know
that somewhere at Microsoft you can download it - BTW never searched
myself for those, I just heard that this is possible).


 [..] their company
 is considering moving to Linux because Microsoft is not secure, and is
 unreliable these days.  Apple is too 'locked in'.  Linux is perfect for
 their needs.

Yes, there are these and other reasons to move to Linux. Despite many
advantages of course there are still issues. For example I am trying
to get a new PC for my wife and on my last attempt about two weeks ago
for the first time I had (and still have) serious issues to get a
Windows-free PC from Dell that is not about 100 % more expensive than
a comparable PC with Windows. And I never had such problems before! So
regarding to Bug #1 for me currently it seems to get even worse than
better.


 As more and more organisations turn to Linux for these
 reasons, then ordinary folk who work for them will want something better
 on their home computers.

My experience is the other way round: Employees want to work on what
they know from home (because grew up with it). Nowadays in schools
there are even laptop-classes where they do everything on their
laptop. Expect those people running their own company later: If they
are more familiar with Ubuntu they will tell their IT department to
install that everywhere. And that's why we are still about 30 years
away from the year of the Linux desktop - because the CEOs

a) There's barely a normal end-user who self-installs his operating

And that's why sometimes Linux folks are put into the same basket as

 As far as complaining to the CEO...  have you considered what is in it for

That's indeed one of the first problems: While the IT admins and
developers are mostly already pro-Linux and some users even, it's the
CEOs that decide. And that's why the year of the Linux desktop will
not come before the young pro-Linux users get into CEO positions
(which I think may probably occur in 30 years - if so).

In my opinion a switch to Open Source pays off in the long run. Most
managers do consider only the next quarter, so here already begins the
problem.


 Do you think you could provide a business case why PC world should
 invest in Linux products if there is no market pull and no return?

Only yesterday I had a discussion with an IT admin about some software
and he complained, that he would use more platform independent
software or Linux software if there would exist the appropriate
software. The point is: As long as the customers are not telling
company xyz: Hey, your product looked interesting, but you don't
support Linux so I don't buy it, no vendor sees the need to act.
Fortunately some vendors care in the meantime.

Only if the customers say no - definitely no - to propriatary
solutions, vendors need to act accordingly.


 This is what they are being told by the Microsoft.
 with a side salad of withdrawing volume discounts if they even dare to 
 speak the word Linux.

And this is what we have seen with Dell...


 Like I say, I hate that this is the situation, but we are not dealing with a 
 level playing field here.
 This is why it needs a class action case to level the playing field.

Agree with you.

 How do I do that? (I didn't even know that was possible...)

It looks like you are pretty fast in making conclusions without enough
proove. You could use tcpdump or wireshark to investigate traffic - as
maybe it's just ubuntuone. Use the inotify tools (just google for it)
to check what local files are accessed. But first of all: This is not
a topic for bug one - please file a new bug using ubuntu-bug on the
commandline.

Do you have more details on the data or how you discovered the leak?
For example the update manager is of course checking for updates from
time to time (not only at reboot) so what you noticed could also be
this. Similar if you are using Ubuntu one - then of course there is
data transfer from and to Canonical which would be no wonder.


 I personally believe that if this 'feature' must be incorparated, it
 should at least ask the user if they want it installed during an update/
 fresh install. Or at least have it turned off by default. (Although my
 preference is for it to NOT be installed)

I agree with you: The user should be asked at first logon if he/she
wants to enable online searches and the like in the dash.

 barely anything for surfing the web. Becuase the upload was so desprate

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Martin Wildam]

 Another problem that should be fixed in ubuntu is the data leaks caused
by the spyware of the webapps.

Not again!
Yes, it was not really ok to add the amazon and online search. I think,
even Canonical knows in the meantime that everybody else in the community
dislikes that.

But please, there is the switch to turn it off even in the GUI of the
privacy settings, so this is not really a problem!

On the other hand, the rookie computer user mostly cannot even distinguish
between the url location field and the google search in the browser (that's
why browsers and google managed both to implement both functions). So I do
see a logic in the idea of Canonical to incorporate everything into the
dash because the rookie user will expect to find everything from there.

 On one particular occasion I experienced a MASSIVE data leak beaming to
an IP address owned by canonical.

Otherwise it would be Google or Microsoft collecting your data - or -
mostly ignored: Your internet provider.

 Secondly, something really needs to stop is Ubuntu spamming error messages 
 when there is a problem.
 For example when Ubuntu has lost it's internet connection it will spam you to 
 type the password in atleast
 half a dozen times

Yes, you are right. I usually choose in the network menu to
disconnect, when I face longer offline time.
Of course then I don't see immediately when it is back - I have to
test from time to time.


 and when a program has crashed apport wil spam you to report the problem 
 atleast half a dozen times.

In former times I got the option to report a bug and launchpad site
was opened. Now it is the same shit as with Windows - I don't know if
and where the error will be reported/posted to. In reality I don't see
those messages as spam - I want to see if there is a problem and I
do not want it to silently fail. However, the idea should be to get
the appropriate stability in the way that those problems get fixed
instead of muting the messages!


 Thirdly, we NEED some form of advertising, as Micro$oft has almost
 fallen of its throne. Ads on the TV (For example) that tell people that
 Linux is the most secure OS ever and doen't get viruses would get people
 to make the switch. (But would the switch also cause undetected security
 problems to show themselves after being exploited by hackers?)

MS really puts more and more advetising - too much advertising I have
often seen as the last action of getting customers - when there is no
more innovation and other reasons why people should buy the product. I
am pretty sure, there will be a momentum of change in the masses even
without much publicity. In fact, if many people would - in a gold rush
- switch to Linux or Ubuntu in particular, I am pretty sure I would be
affected negatively at least in update download rates, so basically I
wouldn't see an advantage for me having the others going Linux.
However: We need more Linux and Ubuntu users just for the sake of
getting the appropriate respect by the software and hardware vendors.
Currently far too many vendors do not consider users that are not
using Windows (even Mac is still widely ignored).


 Fourthly: Stability. Ubuntu definatly needs a netbook version again, as
 Ubuntu runs horribly on intel atom processors and lags like hell (I
 tried running Ubuntu on a 1.6Ghz dual-core intel atom that had 1gb of
 ram). However smaller distros like lubuntu seem to work well.

 Also, something as stupid as nautilus crashing when idle needs to be
fixed.

I have several Ubuntu desktops, laptops and a netbook running where I
have regular access too and it is a while ago when I had those
annoying nautilus crashes the last time.

This bug here is expired - but anyway, I don't experience it any more:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/404351

And don't remember where I faced this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/905686
But although does not seem to be fixed yet, I don't experience it any more.

But don't know which bug you mean...

Generally spoken, I find it a nice presentation of Mark at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpWHJDLsqTU
and I find that Ubuntu does innovate, however at 1:00 he cites several
reviews and I must say: At the beginning of 12.04 I had a lot of
issues and only since manually updating to 3.5-Kernel I got my 12.04
stable. So from my experience 10.04 was a lot more stable than 12.04
(without the manual hacking)!

 Perhaps you need to check that you have an official Cd or downloaded

I only use images from the official download page and while I
installed my main 12.04 laptop (that I use for my work) from the
original 12.04 image now I only have the 12.04.1 image left, so I
cannot re-check the image as I don't have it any more.

And apart from that - I am usually not alone with my problems - e.g.
some of the kernel problems I had, I reported them directly to the
kernel folks and got confirmed.

What is far more probably the case: I have a lot of stuff installed
(no games, no Wine but VMware, Virtualbox, Citrix, several VPN clients
I need to access customers, 2 different versions of TeamViewer, etc
etc). My experience with others where I install and support Ubuntu is
that especially for distribution upgrades they tend to fail as soon as
you do a little non-standard stuff (add some repositories for
particular needs and the like).


 1.  Overclocking and underclocking.  Doesn't this need to be done from
 inside the bios or by physical changes to the hardware?  I've not heard
 of anyone being able to do this from inside any OS.  I agree it would be
 good if Ubuntu could lead the way on this.

My netbook offers switching from the panel - with the tool I mentioned
above. Maybe it's just a fake - I never digged into it. ;-)


 2.  If my internet connection drops out i just get a discrete
 notification and the icon on the top taskbar changes to show i have no
 network connection.  None of that grabs focus and i can keep typing
 without interference.

Yes, you are right, when internet connection just drops that e.g. DNS
down or so. But if the WLAN-Router is rebooted then you get those
password dialogs.


 A good example is that greater numbers of desktop users would NOT
 increase security problems.  Currently malware and remote attackers
 focus on desktop machines despite that only affecting 1 person at a time
 and thus being an extremely inefficient method of attacking people.

But the attacks mostly done automatically from infected servers.
Indeed two days ago at a family member I have seen a virus setting DNS
servers to a server at Google - so you can be sure that there are even
servers at Google that are hijacked!

Also have seen even online-banking servers being hijacked and
distributing viruses over the browser. Servers do get infected!
And yes, even those that are running Linux!
I have seen hijacked Linux-servers. However in those cases they always
got into the system through PHP issues.

 Also a LOT of times i find that people claim to have become infected by
 some sort of virus as a way out of admitting they might have done
 something themselves to create the problem. [...]  Ok, so
 i've not found people doing that but they do somehow install all sorts
 of strange crap and then blame anyone but themselves for having tons of
 toolbars in their web-browser.

In the case I mentioned there were viruses - definitely. And with IE
(needed for work by this person) without any adblocker etc whereever
you go you see at least 5 download buttons -  even if you don't want
to - it is easy to accidently download wrong things. Horror!


 1.  Under coordinated attacks from thousands or millions of machines all at 
 the same time
 2.  One network of servers that was left unpatched for 6 years and didn't 
 even have a maintenance chap sweeping away
 cobwebs between machines!  Not even so much as a reboot or even a glance 
 through their logs.

I worked at a company where security issues of several web apps
(written in PHP) were used to drop other PHP web apps and so they got
an MP3 and video host (of course just for a while until the admin
noticed it).


 On the other hand i have seen people having to reboot Windows servers
 every few days and keep patched wekly and put a lot of time into dealing
 with all sorts of petty issues even for a simple internet-gateway,
 little more than a router really.

Yup, I know. Of course, windows usually needs more attention. However,
in such things I don't want to compare a pitty situation (Linux) with
a total desaster (Windows). I want to have problems solved instead of
being happy, that I am not worse. ;-)


 As for GnuLinux getting infected it's a relative term.  People i have had to 
 trust have given me infected files which my
 system remained immune to and oblivious of and then i have passed the file on 
 to other people.
 Nowadays i tend to run an antivirus program purely to stop myself 
 accidentally passing on such infected files from other
 people.

Some people say that if Linux would be more widely used there would be
more virus for it. I am not sure - I think there are some differences
in the system (e.g. the executable flag) that make life harder for a
Virus. Other things, like not working with full admin permissions is
something that in the meantime even Windows users do in many cases and
something like sudo (confirm administrative tasks) also exists on
Windows in the meantime.


 People such as Google are known to respond quickly if/when problems
 arise. They don't spend the best part of 3 years adamantly insisting
 there is no problem

Don't know - I have written them of the probably hijacked server, but
no response since then.

 Programs need to operate without constantly asking the

 that they never need SuperUser permissions?

I don't think so - with Windows 7 (or XP service pack something don't

here (however most windows folks still don't know that they can do
this now using mklink... ;-) ).


 Have you tried surfing with cookies being totally blocked?  Even 
 microsoft.com gives a dozen pop-up asking
 you to accept this or that cookie with no real detail about the individual

It's not only the cookies - on several sites you already have to allow
some included third-party web-site-java-scripting (either referencing
to other websites) to allow display of advertising until they show you
the real site content. So they urge you to view the advertising also -
otherwise nothing. But this affects every OS putting them on a higher
risk.


 I know what you mean about not wanting to be just better and safer but really

 In Windows it seems the slightest thing can cause problems.

I was also able to keep my Windows clean of Viruses - until 2009 where
I fully switched - because I had my ad- and script-blockers and I know
where to pay attention and what not to do. But there are plenty of
people, even working in IT, who get viruses because they forget to be
careful.

I would be really interestet in hearing the opinion of an expert if
Linux is really safer than Windows or only the fact that 90% of users
running Windows make that OS the most attacked ones at client side. I
am pretty sure that at server-side there is full attention of hackers
is on Linux-machines but I don't know anything about statistics how
many Linux servers get hijacked to end up in a bot-net.

Currently I do not have an Ubuntu 12.10 available (from which I reported

Unity-launcher comes back and top panel, but window decorations still
missing.

After applying all the latest updates (machine was not fully up-to-date)
they came back after unity --replace but system shows strange behaviour
then like flickering windows or starting nautilus twice when clicking on
the launcher. Could be related to the vm guest (via virtualbox), so I
will try this also on a bare metal installation.

Hi,

not sure, if anybody who can make decisions is still reading this, but
I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 for a total beginner (this is what
Ubuntu claims to be most adapted for):

a) Never ever a total beginner is able to install and setup Ubuntu on
his own - will always need help (I already wrote that a while ago)!
This does not apply only for the installation and basic configuration,
but also for online accounts (register new accounts - reuse existing
ones - most people don't even remember or write down their passwords,
decision what application to use for what task (depending on the
person and tasks there can be major differences). Not all of this can
be made simpler by the operating system.

b) I just felt lucky to install the newest 12.10 (instead of the 12.04
that has been previously there on the same machine) and unfortunately
- although already a good while ago the release - I rushed into a few
annoying bugs like
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1069504
or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/848164
(quite similar bug descriptions). That ever worked since 10.04 as far
as I remember - and now it does not - where this feature was never so
important for me as it is now because the very beginner user (even
beginner in mouse handling) now needs 2 more clicks onto ... ... an
icon that cannot be made bigger (person also does not see very, very
good).

c) Apart from the fact that I did not have the impression that with
the switch to upstart the startup process really got faster (on a
two-processor-machine) it also seems to introduce problems. On my
machine sometimes compiz does not come up fine, but who cares, I can
restart it manually if it does not because I did the login too fast.
But in this case I set the autologin for the beginner user and now I
experience different problems that might occur as skype not started
which happened once or - even worse - network manager is disabling
wireless network after autologin. So now I must also train the user to
make sure the right checkmarks are activated.

d) For the beginner user the buttons for closing the window are too
small. While that was no problem on Gnome2 in Ubuntu 9.04 up to 10.04
with the introduction of Gnome 3 and unity those buttons simply don't
grow when I increase the font size in Universal access - and I cannot
do this in the same way (by specifying the dpi) I could under Gnome 2
- Now I have only 3 choices (as in Windows 8-P). But at least on
Windows the Window-Buttons grow together with the fonts.

e) For recharging the mobile internet stick I had to register at the
provider homepage with the stick's number and it sent me an SMS
message. Guess what: I could not find any crappy application that was
able to read the messages from the huawei USB stick (that fortunately
worked out-of-the-box to get the internet connection). Finally I put
the USIM card into one of my older phones and read the mesage with the
initial password there. - Is this meant to be user friendly?

f) I experience several options for the display not working as
disabling of dimming of the screen. Somehow changing the settings and
disabling the ambient light sensor in the bios now brought an
acceptable solution - that worked on 10.04 on the same machine for
sure!

And so on and so forth! - I am really loosing the will of frickling
around - neither with Windows nor with Linux - it is so sad, that such
things do not work fine but on the other hand focus is put elsewhere
(Amazon lenses and Ubuntu-Phones for example) while the laptop or PC
is still (for a long, long time, I would bet) a very important tool. I
am really loosing all kind of joy that way...

[Bug 1095020] [NEW] compiz --replace does not bring back unity launcher, panels, window decorations

[Martin Wildam]

Public bug reported:

I am used to the fact that sometimes (since at least Ubuntu 10.04) that
at least parts of compiz do not work sometimes after reboot or after a
while working.

While under Ubuntu 12.04 this works without problems under Ubuntu 12.10
pressing ALT+F2 and entering compiz --replace the restore of the session
does not work: Unity launcher is missing, top panel and window
borders/decorators also.

See screenshot.

Re: [Bug 937522] Re: rdp clipboard sync doesn't work anymore.

[Martin Wildam]

I noticed that the copy  paste works and then somehow refuses to work
and after Remmina restart it works again. So there is IMHO still an
issue here.

Hi,

 If you have really been using Ubuntu for 8 years then it seems

 sure you would have found better ways over the years.

I am not sure what is the best way to reach the official
Canonical-members (not talking about the staff in the support or
development - I am talking about the managers). I even tried emailing
Jono some time ago and never got a response.

The main reason why I am still subscribed to this bug is because once
- a longer while ago there was a comment from Mark Shuttleworth (if
authentical) and I hope he is sometimes having a look here.


 Also it
 seems strange that the 1st thing you tried was installing Windows!

As far as I understood, it was already there. But anyway, I remember
times when Ubuntu was claiming to solve a lot of problems, Windows
users had - now the argument I see more often lately is this or
that is not better on Windows.


 using any GnuLinux distro would have simply tried a different
 version of Ubuntu and/or another distro or 2 (such as Mint).

Yes, but after some time you get also tired of distro-hopping. And
however, I do see stability problems rising in pretty all
distributions.

Regards, Martin.

Was this an accidental mistake? Or how is it suddenly clear even what
the real cause reason behind all those freezes is?
Can you provide another reference bug number? I would be interested. Thanks.

Best regards, Martin.

Re: [Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

[Martin Wildam]

Hi,
as kernel 3.5.0.18 solves my freeze problems, someone asked me to try with
a newer kernel. Yesterday I tried the newest - 3.7.0.6 or so -
unfortunately I cannot go to long-run tests because it seems, my virtualbox
can't cope with it. Probably I need to upgrade that as well.

As it seems, there are 4 groups of people posting here:
1. Problem with the kernel and solved by upgrading it.
2. Problem with NVidia-Driver solved by using the alternative (the one that
is shipped with Ubuntu - if I remember right).
3. Problem with Chrome browser solved by switching to Firefox.
4. Not yet nailed down to reason.

I think at least for the cases 1-3 there should be separate bug reports
(not yet checked if there are already).

Regards, Martin.

I did not want to say, that I find it better to stay with the devil I

 I disagree because my experiences are not like yours.
 Firstly, I never recommend removing a users current installation and
 leaving them with something they are unfamiliar.

I always help them a lot in the beginning - I don't leave them alone.
However, of course, it is the unfamiliar thing in the beginning.


 I always set up machines to dual boot and leave them with the option to
 go back to their existing installation.
 This has a very high switchover rate, since they can compare one to the
 other and find the Linux installation is far more reliable and
 dependable.

I never do dual-boot installations - tried it a few times and it is
additional complexity added. However, maybe I should try your way of
offering the dual-boot.


 I talking about housewives, psychiatrists, clergymen, plumbers, care workers.
 These are the people I have deployed to and they do not look back.

I cannot say that I have such a wide-spread target audience. I think
there are two types of normal users: Those who are interested in
computers and do more than just email and web-surfing and those who
are not. The latter is usually no problem to migrate. - However, this
is always home users somehow where in general is less problematic. The
problems arise when you have people who are e.g. working as
freelancers and need to communicate a lot with other companies.


From your post, it seems you actually do not have any Linux experience to 
compare.

Oh I have several different experiences: I do manage the server at a
very small company (3-4 people) and I helped migrating users with less
and with more IT knowledge. - Far not so many as you - I think, but
enough to know the pitfalls, as I can look back also to a few failures
also (failure in the sense, that people did not continue to use Ubuntu
or still use it for particular tasks only).

I myself are facing the biggest hurdles as I am running my Ubuntu in a
Windows-only environment in the office where whole IT department is
fully Microsoft-conform.

Just to make it clear: I do not want to say, that Linux or Ubuntu is
failing. It's just that I am experiencing more issues during the last
months than before. So this is, why I don't even understand the
efforts put into discussions of shopping lenses and the like - such
things are worth discussing and implementing when everything else is
running fine.
