I had the same issues with Tribe 5 and the bcm43xx. I'm not exactly a new user, but I even had a head-scratching moment over the "The software source for package <whatever> is not enabled" message. I'd agree that a new user would be hopelessly lost.
Solution A sounds great from here (if only because I understand it, in comparison to solution B). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedManagerImprovements2 > A possible solution: give a shortcut to "Software Sources" inside the message. This way, the user could at least know where to go. Then it's just a simple matter of checking off the check boxes. Well, there's also the "Update" step, which might not be intuitive. In any case, I hope that *some* improvement is made by the Gutsy release, even if it is a more instructive message. ...and now I've gotta go off and file a bug for the bcm43xx simply not working (can't associate with listed APs in NM). -- Misleading error message - software source for package is not enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
