Christopher, First of all, I am pleased that I no longer need work-arounds for this issue and the mouse-cursor disappearing. Apparently, both issues were addressed during or prior to 16.04.
I always try to minimize the time spent by investigators to extract information that I supply. As a developer, that is also what I would want. You said that submitting tar files in compressed form makes it harder for folks to review the contents. Let us put the GUI approach aside. Look solely at the command line for extracting the contents of a tar-archive. 1. tar xvf something.tar (uncompressed) 2. tar xvfz something.tar.gz (gzip-compressed) As I implied in comment #30, to a developer who uses the command line regularly (E.g. me), #2 above is as simple as #1 above. Same level of effort. However, as I also said previously, I will be happy to only attach uncompressed tar-archives in the future. Maybe this is something we should have talked about on the phone or by email instead of in a bug report. As a developer, I understand that kernel developers are busy. I certainly appreciate the time that they have donated to the various Linux distributions. I also appreciate the time that you spend time looking at the bug reports. That is exactly why I acknowledged that "This issue is no longer present" and marked it "Fix Released" as quickly as I could so that you and others could shift attention elsewhere as soon as possible. My reporting this issue had the intention of highlighting an issue that people with a laptop who use the Ubuntu base might also run into in 14.04. I published a functional work-around so that (a) you and the kernel developers would know that I was not waiting for a fix and (b) another laptop user still on 14.04 could leverage the same work-around [if needed] by substituting the name of their Ethernet module for "r8169". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556676 Title: In 14.04.04, r8169.ko cannot recover wired Ethernet connection after resume from suspend Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Whenever my laptop suspends (desirable) and then resumes, the r8169 module cannot reconnect the wired Ethernet line.
