alright, so I asked my father to plug the machine into the network so
that I can access it via ssh.  Updated all packages to the latest
release (I already had the latest sl-modem packages installed).  Half a
Gig of downloads later,

nothing has changed!

Why am I not surprised?

Daniel, I'm not blaming anyone.  I understand and appreciate what open-
source software is and how it works.  It's not like somebody
purposefully changed the code to create this bug, so there really isn't
anybody to blame.  I'm merely asking that my time not be wasted time and
again without good reason.  Is that too much to ask?  IMNSHO a spirit of
"let's fix this together" should allow for feedback when one party feels
frustrated and unnecessarily burdened by the other.  I have said before
that I see the progress that Ahmed made, but I still find it very
frustrating to interact.  And I will not shut up just to have that fuzzy
feeling of false harmony.

I'm happy that things are apparently working for Ahmed.  That is a great
step forward as it allows us to look for the differences between his
setup/machine and mine (I just hope it's not again some kind of trick
where he runs the latest lucid package on a karmic system or some such,
knowing full well that the lucid kernel wasn't giving a successful test
result -> comment 82.  Apparently the latest test were done on a full
lucid system).  I still find today's action a long stretch and
objectionable because for the purpose of crossing off one more ticket
off the list that opportunity was put at risk. Daniel, I am worried that
you apparently feel differently.  Bug work is not about closing tickets
or churning out a senseless amount of new packages, it's about fixing
problems.  Fixing problems is not trickery, either.
