Next test is on a bootable pen drive created from this U 9.10 live disk. Media is a Sandisk 8Gig. After unsucessful attemp to fomat using the USB creator I wnet to Gparted and deleted the partition and created a new ext2 primary. Then trying USB creator a "volume needs to be formatted" message appeared regarding the /dev/sbc. I was met with "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found" again after clicking the "Format" button. Selecting the second choice, /dev/sdc1, in the "Disk to Use" menue gives a "not enough free space" message. Clicking format caused the ..... Damn! it seems the problem was that a file browser window was open from the previous step. I closed it and the format completed. Now the /dev/sdc1 choice has returned and it's showing 7.5Gig with 7.5 free space. Clicking "Make Startup Disk" resulted in a "startup disk completed you can now boot on other computers" message. So I restarted and pressed F12 to select the USB drive. The system restarted and I needed to pull down the menu for networks and select "Panera" again it connected very quickly without errors. Starting Firefox the page that wasopened was the locally stored file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html That came after some address that starts with "chrome." Trying www.google.com was redirected to the Panera login page... .....duuuhhhhh.... So, it looks like you guys fixed the issue I was crying about or I was just doing something wrong in my first few attempts last month.

Displaying the page wont need connection to internet. Whereas if you use www.google.com or any other web page as your homepage , it will need to connect to the internet. Hence you are not facing the redirection with http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ . If you set any other web page as your home page it will redirect. So , If I understood you correctly, it is now working correctly if you use any page other than http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ ? -- Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492349 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492349 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
