[Bug 731700] Re: eog fails to start when loading certain jpg files

2011-03-09 Thread narnie
Ubuntu 10.04

The image is copywritten. What are the rules for posting copywritten
pics?

BTW, I added f-spot to my system [as per some other's experiences] via
aptitude and it solved the error messages, but not the stalling of eog
trying to view the picture.

If it is ok to post a copywritten pic, I will do so. Please advise.

[Bug 731700] [NEW] eog fails to start when loading certain jpg files

2011-03-08 Thread narnie
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eog

I am trying to get eog to allow me to view certain jpg files. Most jpgs
work, but some new jpgs I have don't. Those jpgs are recognized and
numbnailed by nautilus just fine and come up in gimp with no problems.
When I do

eog filename.jpg

I get this error

(eog:14980): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_app_info_equal: assertion
`G_IS_APP_INFO (appinfo1)' failed


which is repeated several time.

There are no other error messages.
And the image never comes up.

[Bug 633612] [NEW] Overheats shutting off toshiba

2010-09-08 Thread narnie
Public bug reported:

Fan used to spin up in prior version of Ubuntu, but only stays one speed
and have had overheating problems since Intrepid.

Have to have powersave governor in use to prevent overheats and sudden
kills.

powersaved gone, can't throttle. Not sure what is replacing it that can
be done in userspace(which I prefer)

Found cpufrequency-selector which sets governor, but not throttle.

Wrote:

#! /bin/bash

#if ! type promptYesNo  /dev/null 21 ; then .
/home/woodnt/scripts/misc.sh ; fi

SPEED=$1

for i in 0 1; do
cpufreq-selector -c $i -g $SPEED
done

which allows in userspace. Miss powersaved, though where I wrote:

#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO make error checking for arguments

. /home/woodnt/scripts/misc.sh

LEVELS=$((`powersave get-brightness-levels -L|awk '{ print $4 }'|sed 's/\.//'`

[Bug 520273] Re: cron doesn't send mail

2010-08-31 Thread narnie
I have found the problem. It is caused by ecryptfs the way it is
implemented in Ubuntu. Here is the culprit (found by hours of removing
files and directories and rebooting):

I don't like my Private folder automounted. My solution, follow the
recommendations to delete .ecryptfs/auto-mount.

When this is done, ecrypt tries to automount, but throws an error:

Aug 31 02:43:01 localhost CRON[8404]: Skipping automatic eCryptfs mount

followed by this error:

Aug 31 02:43:01 localhost CRON[8405]: (woodnt) CMD (echo hello `date`)

Now I feel stupid for spending hours at this when I should have just
done a simple mv .ecryptfs .ecryptfs.bak first, instead of for every dir
(after I found every .xxx regular file had nothing to do with it).

I then also get the above cron process tree found by ps -auxf.

When I isolated .ecrpytfs, then I noted I had deleted the auto-mount and
touched it to put it back. Rebooted, and I get mail and I get NO defunct
sh and get no build up of cron processes.

This is a significant but, but not critical and likely affects very few
people, but is hard to figure out when it does!

Not sure how to move this thread over to ecryptfs-utils.

Please advise,
Narnie

PS, it seems postfix is trying to send, but gets stuck (as noted above
with the \_ /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -FCronDaemon -oem woodnt getting
stuck, kind like it is waiting on stdin but who knows).

[Bug 352228] Re: Intel Wireless 5300 AGN: iwlagn: No space for Tx

2010-05-31 Thread narnie
I agree with Krzysztof Janowicz that Ubuntu is doing incredible work,
and those of us who benefit from it are greatful. They have given so
much FREELY!!! I'm not ungrateful. I just want Ubuntu to continue to
succeed.

That said . . .

Laptops/netbooks are the fasting growing segment now in computers.
Wireless capability is one of the big reasons for this so people don't
have to be tied down. And netbooks are just that for the NET!!! When
they can't connect, people will go to other distros that DO work or will
just turn back to WIndows, which is sad !!!

It seems that Ubuntu has moved on to other things and is forgetting the
basics. Who cares about Eucalyptus, virtualization, etc, if you can't
get a reliable internet connection?

Here is Ubuntu's track record for me:

1)Acer Aspire 5610 with essentially completely broken wireless since
9.04 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/348204)

[Bug 352228] Re: Intel Wireless 5300 AGN: iwlagn: No space for Tx

2010-05-31 Thread narnie
rats, hehe

2) Toshiba Satellite A505-S6965 that we are dealing with in this bug report. It 
is working better than the 3945 chipset, but is still broken even though there 
is a fix.
3) I have 4 Aspire Ones. The first three use broadcom b43 drivers that read 
these netbooks wrong even with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 and Ubuntu Netbook 
Edition 10.04. This is one of the most popular netbooks around, yet they won't 
even boot without doing a lot of rooting around to fix it (ok with me, but most 
people who are newbies wouldn't be able to do it). Here is a forum on where I 
helped get a guy going with this 
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477490). The newer Aspire One has an 
atheros chipset. It DID work fine out of the box.

So, here is my wireless track record over the last 2 years with Ubuntu.

1/6 laptops/netbooks working (really to be fair, 1/4 because 3 were the
same).

That is terrible statistics for Ubuntu. I am a solid linux user and have
been for 12 years (I started back in the days of Caldera). For the past
few years, I'm 98% Linux only (when these Ipods break, I'll buy linux-
capable units from now on and I'll be 100% except for homeschooling
things that I can't get working with wine). I will do whatever it takes
to get my boxes working with Ubuntu/Mint whenever possible, but I'm
dedicated. Newbies won't be. They will just go back to Windows, which is
sad.

Ubuntu needs to get wireless right. That should be a priority, esp with
the netbook edition.

I'm not very hopefull this will get fixed. I've been watching another
thread (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/348204)
that is much more devastating than this one from another piece of
hardware I owned. Ubuntu hasn't fixed that one either even tho most will
classify it as critical as no large data can be moved without breaking
it. Ubuntu seems to have better things to do than fix our wireless
problems (even tho they may even be the ones introducing them as the
other threads problem doesn't exist upstream in Debian. It is a patch
that Ubuntu applied to the kernel that broke it.

I agree though, my script is no good as a fix, esp when lost during a
needed connection (skype, download, etc).

Well, scratch the above in my last post.

It worked for a few days, then I was back to having to reboot.

Decided to do a little more messing around after it did it last night
and this morning, too (sure wish I could figure out what triggers it!).

This script brought it back when the other one I posted above didn't.

Here ya go.

#! /bin/bash
#
pkill nm-app
sudo modprobe -v -r iwlagn
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop
sudo /etc/init.d/network-interface stop
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
sudo /etc/init.d/network-interface start
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start
sudo modprobe -v iwlagn
nm-applet 

just save it (I called my reset_wireless).

run

chmod +x reset_wireless

Then put it in one of the dirs found by

echo $PATH

and you should be good to go. You have to have admin privies for it to
work.

Cherio,

This is by no means a fix, but for me it is a work-around.

When I first wrote this scripts, it wouldn't get the internet up and
running when the net went down. I would need to reboot. I just ran it
yesterday just to see, and low and behold, my net comes back up without
a reboot.

Hope it might help you, too.

#! /bin/bash
#
pkill nm-app
sudo modprobe -v -r iwlagn
sudo modprobe -v iwlagn
nm-applet 

Save that (I called mine reset_wireless). Make it excecutable with chmod
+x reset_wireless (or whatever you called it). Then either put it in an
executable path found by typing echo $PATH or just run it with
./reset_wireless (or, again, whatever you called it).

Yours,
Narnie

ps, if you don't want to get nm-applet output in your terminal, change
it to:

#! /bin/bash
#
pkill nm-app
sudo modprobe -v -r iwlagn
sudo modprobe -v iwlagn

IMPORTANT UPDATE !!!

I decided to reinstall.

I blacklisted b43 as before, and it booted up to the beautiful new
violaceous screen where I was able to happily log in.

I don't know what was causing the behaviour as before, but it seems to
have been a botched first-run install that fixed after the b43 fix.

My wife will be enjoying her new UNE and after my kids saw it, they
can't wait for me to install it on theirs. They love the new colors,
too.

I have an Acer Aspire One D250-1165 (blacklisted b43 to get it to boot)

dmesg| grep -i intel reveals:

Intel 945GME Chipset

Boots up to trying to start gdm, which fails and then drops to a
command-line login prompt.

I set up wired networking manually and sudo aptitude'd to get the
lastest packages, which includes

kernel 2.6.32-22

I downloaded read-edid and ran a get-edid|parse-edid and added that to
the failsafe xorg.conf file (which I made from the xorg.conf.failsafe
one) and edited out the other monitor settings.

All to no avail.

When I try from a root prompt

/etc/init.d/gdm start

I get a basic GUI with an error dialog saying:

Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode (and that settings couldn't be
detected blah,blah) and that I need to reconfig myself (this error
didn't change before or after my attempted manipulations).

I hit OK, and am taken to a

What would you like to do? dialog
Run ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session
Reconfigure graphics
Troubleshoot the error
Exit to console login 
Restart X

I tried the first to run in low-graphics mode.

I get dialog that states Stand by one minute while the display
restarts but nothing happens.

I eventually hit OK, but this just took me back to a command prompt.

Hope a work-around and fix is available soon.

[Bug 348204] Re: [Jaunty] Intel wireless 3945ABG is unstable and disconnects frequently

2010-05-02 Thread narnie
Folks,

I really hate to say it, but your choices are these because Canonical
doesn't seem interested in maintaining wireless reliability:

1) Get new hardware
a) Either a new computer or
b) A wireless USB or PCMCIA or ExpressCard
2) Revert back to where Ubuntu comes from, Debian as this driver is working in 
Debian (or use another distro as so many seem good and more user friendly than 
in the past these days (eg Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Fedora, etc)

I really feel this pain, but after over a year and no fix, including the
next LTS, I fear that there is no fix for this other than the above.

Shame on Ubuntu/Canonical for not paying any real attention to this bug.

2010-04-13 Thread narnie
For those who don't want to use privoxy, you can do this

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310351page=3

The author (I believe) of Ubuntu CE has made a work-around fooling
9.10 to use the older version of Dansguardian.

This will also install the dansguardian GUI for those interested (just a
set of scripts based on zenity, but works really well and is easy to
use).

For those who want an easy install script, I have written one and will
include it here. Run it from the command line

First, run

$ sudo aptitude purge dansguardian tinyproxy firehol

then run my script if you like.

restarter all servers with:

$ sudo service tinyproxy restart
$ sudo service dansguardian restart
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ubuntu_ce_firewall restart
$ dansguardian-gui

You may have to stop and restart daunsguardian. Barring that, reboot and
all should be well.

2010-04-13 Thread narnie
No, if you follow the above recommendation, it fools karmic into
thinking that it is using the most up to date dansguardian. It is really
using the earlier version, but spoofing the version number of the more
recent (it does this by using the Ubuntu CE repository rather than
Ubuntu main's) so it doesn't get updated. This should work for some
time. I don't know when the next major release for dansguardian is, but
it should be safe until then. I'll bet the maintainer of the Ubuntu CE
repo will be ahead of that game, tho.

[Bug 557598] [NEW] xbindkeys mapping wrong keys

2010-04-07 Thread narnie
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xbindkeys

From another computer, I have some definitions for xbindkeys (made with
xbindkeys-config). These key codes work correctly.

From the config file for example:

#esword_split
~/scripts/esword_split
#m:0x1d + c:39
Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s 

will work and run the script I have made.

However, if you run

xbindkeys -k one gets this:

NoCommand
m:0x201d + c:39
Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s

Notice the to different m: values. The one obtained with xbindkeys -k is
inaccurate. Hence, I can define no new keyboard commands.

In the working example above, if one comments out the m: line like this:

#esword_split
~/scripts/esword_split
#m:0x1d + c:39
Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s 

It breaks and won't work. Commenting out the more human readable line
like this:

#esword_split
~/scripts/esword_split
m:0x1d + c:39
#Control+Shift+Alt+Mod2 + s 

Allows it to work.

Sadly, nothing is reading correctly with xbindkeys -k

This is a toshiba satellite A505-S6965 laptop.

Not sure to proceed from here.

[Bug 555933] [NEW] Doesn't differentiate between windows installs

2010-04-05 Thread narnie
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: os-prober

I have installed karmic on several different machines of late. I have noticed 
that os-prober setting up the new grub.cfg file identifies windows as below:
__

# sudo os-prober
/dev/sda2:Windows Vista (loader):Windows:chain
/dev/sda3:Windows Vista (loader):Windows1:chain
__

This results in a grub menu list that doesn't differentiate between the
recovery partion (/dev/sda2) the the main usable partition (/dev/sda3).

On my sister's machine, this resulting in reinstalling windows and, of
course, writting over the boot loader. No problem if I weren't 5 hrs
away from her :)

I hand, coded a sed routine that changes this for future installs so
that it identifies and tags sda2 not to run and sda3 to run for normal
windows (but this will vary from machine to machine, so needs per-
machine customization).

In previous version of Ubuntu, it accurately identified recovery vs
normal partitions.

This needs to be brought back in future versions. For Linux noobs and
young kids, it can cause too much trouble NOT to have it accurately
identified (not to mention the need for an improvement in the ability to
password-protect--with encryption--the grub menu and make it easier to
do this for the people who don't do command line -- read, make the
startup-menu program as good as it was in previous versions). Perhaps it
wasn't a good idea switch to grub2 until it was further alone.

WIth thanks,
Narnie

I don't think there is anything to do. I've never read in the popular
linux mags about these wireless issues with Ubuntu.

Perhaps if we all wrote to Linux Format, Linux Journal, Linux Mag, etc
and one of them pics it up and gives these wireless issues voice,
something can happen.

On my current machine (Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100), it
got to where it dropped once a day. Tried posting the prob on some
forums. No takers. Did a fresh install, and it seems to have works so
far except for much more rare occasions.

Wireless is a must-have to keep Ubuntu popular. These are critical (for
us and Ubuntu's reputation) bugs.

2010-03-25 Thread narnie
I have 8 to 10 laptops I manage at any one time all with linux with
various wireless chipsets. I will say that I am very disappointed
overall what the wireless state of things with Ubuntu. Started to look
at other distros. GnomeMepis sounded pretty good built on Debian Lenny.
Seems like the opposite is the case with wireless modems like 3G
networks, etc. They have spent a lot of time on these, but seemed to
miss the boat on how most of us connect most of the time. I don't
understand why Ubuntu patches the kernel on these things instead of
leaving it alone an ruining it. Surely they are in tune with how popular
laptops/netbooks have become. On my new, new very late model Aspire one
with wireless N with an atheros chipset, I only get one bar. 3 bars with
Windows, and it will fail from time to time. Sometimes a reset fixes it,
sometimes it need a reboot similar to this problem. Completely different
chipset but the same type of frustration.

I want to stick with Ubuntu, but it may be on some machines I will be
forced to look elsewhere. We may have to vote with our distro choice,
but I'm not sure really how much of an impact this will make.

I'm thinking about trying Moblin on this particular netbook with the
atheros chipset.

Kind Regards to you and even Ubuntu despite their lack of interest in
this thread.

2010-03-06 Thread narnie
I for one would like to see a fix for this in Karmic rather than waiting
til being able to install Lucid (which I usually wait a few weeks after
release for there to be a little bit more testing by the masses).

Perhaps these changes are too great to be able to backport the work from
Lucid. I understand that in many things, Karmic is a transition release
to get the foot in the door (e.g. Grub 2, GDM 2, etc) and these will be
even better in Lucid and further updates.

I am eagerly waiting for this major 3rd LTS edition :)

[Bug 526868] [NEW] Have to log out of a virtual terminal twice if Private not set to automount

2010-02-23 Thread narnie
*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Hello,

I am having a problem with my Private folder setup using ecrypts.

I don't like the automounting behaviour of ecrypts. I prefer to manually
mount it when I need it.

To do so, I have renamed this file:

~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount

to

~/.ecryptfs/NO_auto-mount

After doing this, if I'm in a virtual terminal (eg, CTRL-ALT 1) and log
in, when I log out by typing exit, it starts another bash which will
then logs out when I type exit the second time. When I rename the file
back to the original name (auto-mount), then I only have to type exit to
logout once. If I move the file out of the dir entirely, I still have to
exit by type exit followed by typing exit in the new bash (well, now
that I think about it, I haven't proven it is the same bash by looking
up the PID).

This behaviour occurs EVERY time and thus is very reproducible.

It does NOT matter whether Private is actually mounted as decrypted or
not.

Also, it does NOT behave this way in xterm nor gnome-terminal window
consoles.

I would love a fix for this is it is annoying to have to exit twice
unless I want my ecrypt available to any root-privileged user to see
that happens to be logged on and wants to go snooping on my /home dir.
It is for this reason I mark it as a security vulnerability. I realize
that having it automounted is the default (which I personally feel is a
security vulnerability in the first place but I understand the reasoning
in trying to make it easier for the masses - but hence raises the
question why an easy way to prevent automounting of ecryptfs in the
first place is not built-in)

[Bug 511963] Re: One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted

2010-02-14 Thread narnie
I, too, have this bug on a fresh install of Ubuntu karmic from intrepid.

This wasn't a dist-upgrade. I wiped / (/home is on a separate partition
as above). Then during install mounted /dev/sda6 (as is my system setup)
to /home.

I can always log on, but I sometimes get the same error as above barring
a different UUID, of course. It might wait a bit. The above error
doesn't ALWAYS happen. It is sporadic. Sometimes the error goes away,
but other times it stays through the entire boot sequence. I can ALWAYS
log on and, hence, always find my /dev/sda6 on /home where it should be.

For me, it is just an irritant ruining the beauty of the boot process
to have this annoying message. I would love to know the underlying
cause. I may play with the way it was fixed above later.

[Bug 520831] [NEW] USB thumbdrive mounts as a cdrom

2010-02-11 Thread narnie
Public bug reported:

I have a usb thumb drive that mounts as a cdrom on /dev/sr1 instead of
seeing it as a usb driving and mounting it on /sdX where X=b usually.

This is the line from mount

/dev/sr1 on /media/AUTORUN type iso9660
(ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500)

Nothing in /etc/fstab that should cause this behaviour. Installation was
via live cd NOT usb so that makes this different from other bugs (which
ended up being solved by removing the line from fstab).

Only thing than kills the process tree is to restart the cron daemon.

I have purged ssmtp and reinstalled bsd-mailx which installed postfix as
the MTA and that didn't fix anything. Not sure where the true fault is
(cron or ssmtp)

This seems to be a different but, but has some similarities to bug

I have looked in /var/mail and it shows bupkis

woo...@toshiba-laptop /var/mail $ sudo cat *
[sudo] password for woodnt: 
woo...@toshiba-laptop /var/mail $

checking out /var/log/mail.log shows nothing being sent from cron.
mail.err is empty. No evidence of cron sending anything in mail.info
either.

This works:

woo...@toshiba-laptop /var/log $ echo hello|/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -FCronDaemon 
-oem woodnt
woo...@toshiba-laptop /var/log $ mail
Mail version 8.1.2 01/15/2001.  Type ? for help.
/var/mail/woodnt: 1 message 1 new
N  1 woo...@toshiba-la  Wed Feb 10 23:10   13/437   


So somewhere between cron sending the mail and it going through postfix
something is going wrong.

I have bsd-mailx installed which of course also installs postfix as a
depends.

I can't duplicate this problem on other systems.

Of note, I had installed ssmtp first for another reason, but uninstalled
thinking it might have been the problem. A purge uninstall then
reinstall of bsd-mailx didn't fix this. I am not sure if the culprit is
ssmtp configuring something and not undoing it on purge or if the fault
is in cron.

Thanks,
Narnie

[Bug 500056] [NEW] After logging out, trying to switch user, and changing from vtty back to X system completely hangs with a black screen with ATI Mobility Radeon non-free Drivers

2009-12-23 Thread narnie
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I have been waiting for karmic to see if it would fix a bug that I have
with suspending the computer. It did in fact, but now has this bug. When
I am logged in gnome and log out or switch user (and occationally when I
change between a vtty and X) I get a complete system freeze with a black
screen. I have read some similar bug reports, but it seems happens with
both the ATI driver and FGLRX from ATI. I do NOT have this problem with
the ATI driver, but sadly do with FGLRX.

When it hangs, I can't CTRL-ALT-BKSP, CTRL-ALT-DEL, nor, ALT-
SYSRQ-R-E-I-S-S-S-U-B either, so it seems to completely crash the
kernal, hence setting up for a remote log-in backtrace would likely be
futile.

I have an Intel Core 2 Due P7350 and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 card
on a Toshiba laptop running Karmic 64 bit.

Please let me know if any other info is needed. I tried apport, but
couldn't get it running on karmic.

The attached includes lspci, Xorg logs, dmesg, xrandr --verbose, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Nathan

[Bug 354085] Re: ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device off

2009-08-27 Thread narnie
I have a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6965 and am so happy to report that the
acpi.power_nocheck=1 worked for me to stop this message.

For those who don't understand what it means to boot with
acpi.power_nocheck=1 it means to add it to the boot options on the
initial bootup (grub) screen before Linux actually starts booting. After
it boots up, then sleep and resume it and see if it works to turn off
the message by doing a dmesg | tail. If it does, adding it to the boot
line that starts up your system in /boot/grub/menu.lst (usually after
quiet splash) should make it permanent for you.

Thanx to the one who posted this work-a-round!

[Bug 357551] Re: [HD 3400] jaunty doesn't resume from hybernation

2009-08-10 Thread narnie
I have a Toshiba A505-S6965 that has a ATI Radeon HD 4570.

I have the same problem. When I suspend, it comes up with the
background, but never gets any further. I have successfully ssh'd into
the box and have the dmesg, kern, pm-suspend logs attached.

Perhaps the money line is:
Aug  9 17:48:27 toshiba-laptop kernel: [74570.312008] [fglrx] ASIC hang happened

I booted the live cd and it suspended fine with the radeon driver. I
tried to remove the restricted driver but it was unsuccessful and I
ended up having to do a complete reinstall. Now I'm using the 2D Radeon
driver and can suspend (this is mission critical for me in the way I use
my laptop) but I sure would like the ability to use the 3D features of
the card.

I also tried the https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
and the updated driver for fglrx didn't help it.

I hope that this thread doesn't close since this remains an unfixed
problem.

Are there any settings that might be helpful?

Thanks,
Narnie

Pierpaolo Follia,

I have a question about using the x.30 kernel. Can this be used as a

2009-07-05 Thread narnie
I have an Acer Aspire 5610 as above and am having the same problems.

I have tried booting the 2.6.28.11 kernal image and it still hangs and
nm needs restarted.

I have blacklisted iwl3945 and installed the windows driver via
ndiswrapper. It still does it with this.

I am currently trying wicd/wicd-client to see if it will do the same on
here. So far so good. Yet, I would much prefer to use NetworkManager on
my installation as that is why my family is used to on our other
computers.

Interestingly, I have noticed a symptom I'm not sure others have
reported. When it is trying to get connect to the router, it gives me a
pause in the animation. It seems it stops doing whatever until I move
the mouse. Once I move the mouse, the animations start again. This is
very reproducable.

[Bug 348204] Re: [Jaunty] Intel wireless 3945ABG is unstable and disconnects frequently

2009-07-05 Thread narnie
wicd and wicd-client broke as well. So it seems to me that since even
different network drivers (linux native iwl3945 AND windows drivers via
ndiswrapper) AND different network managers (DM and wicd) don't matter
to this problem, the problem is upstream to the drivers at a lower level
and leads one to blame the kernal. I to had no difficulties on the
computer as far back as edgy. It did misbehave a little sporadically in
intrepid. I would need to keep a ping running in the background during
large file downloads and during updates and noticed the hang-improving-
on-mouse-move in intrepid, but it usually didn't require a NM complete
restart as it does in jaunty.

Since this completely reduces the ability for us to have mobility with
our laptops, I would think that this would qualify as a critical bug. It
is worrisome that this has been an issue for 3 months without a
resolution as it is critical to a laptops utility/functionality.
