I wonder how many people around the world connect to the internet with DSL. I also wonder if there are any developers who use DSL.
Since this bug was underestimated, it has made its way into the release. Now, people around the world will be updating their systems and after reboot they will be unable to connect to the internet. Ironically, they will need the internet to find the 'pppoeconf' workaround. It must be clearly understood that most users differ very much from developers. Users usually have access to only one computer, and, since they already use DSL, they are in the place where there's no suitable wireless providers. This is a real problem, these people will be totally locked out. There was Ubuntu 8.10 which made my screen black, and computer totally unresponsive. I could throw away the installation disk, because there were no use of it. Now, this release makes internet connection inaccessible, most ironically, in the places where there are no alternative. -- [MASTER] pppd timeout when trying to establish a DSL connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432205 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
