[Bug 303140]
Just stumbled over this bug while searching the internet for a solution to remove attachments from signed mails. I'm aware of the implication that the signature would no longer be valid. Since I'm also signing all of my outgoing mails and my account is constantly growing I'd love to see a solution for this problem. Has this bug never been addressed since its submission over 7 years ago? Or is there already another solution I didn't find? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303140 Title: No more Save all / detach all / delete all for attachments To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/303140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
Let me see - where is the no bug - ah yes - the no bug is in the original driver - so the fix for the bug is to remove the broken driver and use the original - it has worked faultlessly for years. My last contribution - I am installing Debian Lenny and will hand install the correct driver - no bug fix required thanks. So long and thanks for all the fish. I do not want to crash till Xmas. I have enjoyed Ubuntu and promoted it everywhere but, I need to have control again. Bye Vici mnemoc wrote: @Vici I see where you are coming from but, the fact remains that there is 'NO BUG TO FIX'.

Re: [Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
Oh thanks for that Sixgun That is a great help. I have downloaded the driver so will try this when I get an hour free. Didn't crash last night at all but did many times each night all week. Seems stupid that we have to go through this rigmarole when there is a perfectly good driver available. I never ever crashed before my upgrade to Hardy. Dapper worked faultlessly for years. Thanks, with relief, Vici sixgun wrote: I believe about all you have to do to ensure the other drivers don't interfere is: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Then add the following blacklist lines to the end of the file and save: blacklist rt2x00lib blacklist rt2x00pci blacklist rt2500pci blacklist rt2500usb Also, if you have installed the CVS, go to System Administration Hardware Drivers and make sure that the CVS driver isn't enable To install ndiswrapper, open synaptic, and look up and install ndisgtk After ndisgtk installed, go to System Administration Windows Wireless Drivers Click the Install New Driver button. Click the location box to open a dialog, and locate the proper .inf file. The file you need, and the location may of course vary from mine, but in my case the file I needed was Rt2500.inf and was located in /media/cdrom/Software/WinXP/ Select the Rt2500.inf file, click Open Click Install If all is well, it should say Hardware present: Yes, and then you are free to configure the interface. Be aware, if you have a pure ralink card, and your interface name was ra0 or ra1, it will now be wlan0 or wlan1. And if you plan to use WPA, good luck with that. I've been struggling with getting my rt2500 to work and keep working with encryption on any driver. My only luck has been a combination of using the latest CVS driver, and Rutilt. Just make sure that you can access a network that is completely unsecured, unencrypted, and has a visible ssid, before attempting WPA. -- [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
Hey Sebastian I see where you are coming from but, the fact remains that there is 'NO BUG TO FIX'. All that is required is that the old driver is re-instated in the basic build - something that works does not need fixing - a heap of junk that stops people using the complete system needs throwing away not fixing. What pray was the point of a new driver anyway for an old chip set - I am lost for an explanation. How much is spent on developing Ubuntu - the real costs must be astronomical - yet all that money is wasted if you can't use the system. Upgrades to Gnome, Open Office, Firefox - these are all irrelevant if you cant log on. A basic need is to link to the internet (hence web books) without that the whole computer is a useless pile of junk. I have to say I am torn between paying for a new wireless card and dumping Ubuntu all together. I will try six packs recipe for loading the dedicated driver but, if that fails it will be goodbye Ubuntu. What a pity, it is such a brilliant OS. But my main requirement is the web and I can't do it without constantly crashing. I hope this will make it abundantly clear to Canonical why they misspend their resources - it is the basic things that need to be right - not the bells and whistles - hence, the enduring popularity of Debian. I know how geeks are, they only want to work on the bells and whistles - but it is basics that pay the bills. I would not pay $20 to fix this bug - I would put the cash towards a new wireless card which would cost about $20. If I wasn't retired, I would have paid for a new one already. In fact, I think I will make the jump into Geekdom and install Debian instead. How hard, will it be to suss out the driver installation and have a usable system? One that always makes operability rather than frills its basic requirement. Regards Vici Sebastian Urban wrote: @Canonical: How much money would we have to pay to get this bug fixed? We all like Ubuntu, know that it is an open source project and development resources are expensive. A lot of people seem to be affected. So if everybody pays, say $ 20, will this be enough to hire a developer to fix this problem? Perhaps we can open a shared support request. -- [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
Hi All - Time is up We have been searching for a cure for, what was, a perfectly good driver for almost 6months with me on board. The solution discussed now is at best a 'get us through' solution. The fix works fine when broadband is behaving itself but, when it gets erratic at peak load times, the wireless driver crashes and requires a full re-boot to clear (is there a way of resetting the driver from the command line - the rest of the machine seems OK). The other night, after I had re-booted 10 times in half an hour, I decided that enough is enough. I will get rid of this wireless board - great board but, useless without a driver. Of course, I could install a dedicated driver (which I have) but am not sure how to remove the other one first and then install with ndiswrapper (any simple instructions anyone). Given that this is such a show stopper for so many people, I am astounded that Ubuntu have not solved this problem; especially as the old driver works. I believe it is a hang over from the previous distribution so we approach at least a year and a half still with the problem!!! A disgrace. Who cares about Ubuntu if we cant use it. Can anybody recommend a card that does work out of the box by the way, that would be a great help. My Partner's Sony Viao laptop works faultlessly from a straight install so I know my problem is my driver. Regards Vici P.S. I hope you all get your cards working soon and don't have to wait another few years. -- [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
Ha - I typed too soon I just got lucky and had a rare moment of calm after slowing down to 11M. The driver now crashes my machine all the time. It is almost unusable. What on earth are the developers doing allowing this to continue when the old driver was perfect for years. Why should I or anybody have to learn how to re-install the old one. I will certainly have to remove ubuntu from my machine soon as I need a stable web link. I don't feel confident in doing a back port. I am very un-geek. Such a shame. A brilliant distro ruined by a silly driver problem. Take note Ubuntu - people have old cards and use Linux because they expect their old hardware to work. Vici P.S.

[Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
On Sunday, the instability with my wireless card had increased to the level where it was requiring a re-boot every 30 secs or so. It was so unstable as to make the distribution unusable and I had decided to try and return to Dapper till the bug was fixed in Hardy. However, there was a rare window of stability on Sunday night and I decided to update the machine. Twice it aborted because the wireless card got lost. On the 3rd attempt it updated. Since then, the wireless card has not crashed once. I do not know if the speed bug is still present because my system runs a startup script with the line: iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M For now the system is working brilliantly so as far as I am concerned the problem is fixed. It would be nice to know however, that if I ever had to re-install the OS then the wireless card would work perfectly at the start. I still can not believe Hardy was rteleased with this bug: a rare black mark. But, I bet owners of Vista wish their bugs could be cleared so quickly - he he. -- [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
I recently had to re-build my system (now: ASUS M2N-VM HDMI motherboard, EVGA NVidia e-GeForce 8800GT 512, AMD AM2 Athlon 64 4800+, Corsair 512MBx2 DDR2 PC5300 RAM, Sony DWG120A DVD+/-RW and - RaLink (Belkin) RT2500 PCI 802.11g (F5D7000) wireless network card) and installed Hardy 32bit. The new system is amazing - Hardy is wonderful - the best yet. I would love to use AMD64 but couldn't run Second Life. However, like the others above i needed to use a speed fix. I have added a start up script that upgrades the speed to 54M. But, although this works, the driver is unstable and often crashes the wireless link. I find I have to switch off and re-boot to re-set. This is unacceptable as I am re-booting several times an hour. I cannot believe this new driver was added to an enterprise edition when the old one has been working faultlessly since Dapper came out. -- [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
