Re: Feisty Meta physics

Just BTW, there's no need to cc me privately, I read the list.

What exactly do you mean, "a wireless connection is seen as wired"?

Just that. When connected the wireless Dlink is recognized as a wired
connection.

I still don't get it, sorry. Which program does the recognizing? That
is, do you use NetworkManager, or do you use ifupdown and have the
devices defined in /etc/network/interfaces? And how do you determine
that it recognized the wireless connection as wired?

I just opened the package manager and let it show me what was available.
The first time it showed me KDE not on this last install of Feisty.

I cannot imagine how this can be since lots of KDE is in the "main"
repository, which is probably enabled. At least it is enabled by default
and should stay that way.

Could you be so kind and provide the following:

* The output of the command line 'apt-cache policy
kubuntu-desktop'
* The file /etc/apt/sources.list. (You can just paste it into a
reply)

Also, what exactly were you doing? Was the installation of the KDE stuff
successful?

Just following the prompts of the package manager and clicking what I
wanted to install.

So I gather that the installation of _was successful? But then I do not
understand your previous remark, "I just opened the package manager and
let it show me what was available. The first time it showed me KDE not
on this last install of Feisty", which seems to indicate that it was not
successful.

Why did it work the first time, fail then in 7.10, and fail again
reinstalling Feisty doing the same proceedure save for a separate /home
partition?

I know of no differences in procedure at install. In no way was the
DLink mis handled , dropped or spilled upon.

I don't know, and we'll try to find out, but I can certainly tell
stories about Suse installations going wrong :)

I was just trying to politely point out that going to a mailing list for
distro A, complaining about distro A, and adding that you'd much rather
install distro B, might not be the best strategy to follow if you want
people to help with A :)
