[Bug 1275230] [NEW] python-tvrage missing from saucy

2014-02-01 Thread Paulo Lício de Geus
Public bug reported: Package python-tvrage is missing from saucy. I installed saucy a couple of weeks ago and today I wanted to use a utility that uses this package, but found out it is no longer available for installation. Project's home page: https://github.com/ckreutzer/python-tvrage root@cru

It's pointless to continue with this thread, since no one at Ubuntu cares. Do yourself a favour, get rid of the network-manager applet and install something else. I installed wicd long ago; the interface is not as nice, but at least wireless works as expected. Long ago I traced the problem to the

I've been off the circuit since I bought a Mac, but if nothing changed iwlwifi is the current open source effort to supply drivers for intel wireless chips. Other efforts have stopped by now, I believe. If memory serves, it has support from the Intel development team. Not having X is bad because t

Pete is right, sorry, I didn't know about the vanilla kernel being available. And another_sam, what I meant was not the kernel compilation options (default or not), but the patch set each distribution uses to get the kernel the way they like it (or consider more robust, faster, more [something]...)

Trying Ubuntu-generated, i.e. Ubuntu patched kernels won't cut it. Those patches are the culprit, I know because I tested other distros with the same kernel version. You need to try a vanilla kernel, anyone. Most probably Ubuntu/Canonical don't make one available, so you'll have to compile your own

I repeat that this bug showed up in an old version (8.04 or thereabouts), was gone on 8.10, then showed up on 9.04 and has been solidly buggy ever since. Even a Sony TZ that I thought was immune to it turned out to be prone as well. I originally identified it on a Dell D830 with a 4965 chip. The b

J!, see previous posts, the problem usually shows up with high transfer speeds over wireless. If your AP is g, 1.2MBps takes approximately half the net available bandwidth, so it's bound to cause the problem. narnie, I followed the hint about the .30 kernel. I don't recall all the packages that I

If you read the details of my previous post, interference is definitely not the problem (this happens with both 2.4 and lone 5GHz networks). The one thing that made me able to use wireless was a hint a caught somewhere else: iwconfig wlan0 power on It didn't get rid of the problem, but now I can

For a long time (since the upgrade to 9.04) that was the first time I transferred a 1GB file without a hitch. Also did an 8GB file, perfect all around. Thanks, pableu! Details: 9.04 fresh install, Dell D830 with 4965, had this during most part of 8.04, vanished during most part of 8.10 and returne

I've got a 4965 (Dell D830, 9.04) and a Linksys WRT610N. With it, I set up both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks. My machine doesn't stay much longer connected. The 5 GHz network should save me from interference, but I keep jumping from one to another, to no avail. The simplest test is to transfer a large
