One last attempt? Anyone (see most recent post above please for details).

Thanks

Okay, finally have an interesting discovery. Running a traceroute without Nanny installed, the traceroute stalls at XX-XX-XXX-X.evrt.wa.frontiernet.net when running it against Google.com.

If...

Thanks. After uninstalling with apt, zero errors and the above directory is removed. I removed the software using --purge as well. As soon as it's done, all internet access is dead. Oddly, I can ping...

Well, neither actually. I may not have been clear earlier -- let me try one more time.

1) Working Ubuntu 12.04 install, everything is great, I can connect to the Web via any browser, FTP, etc.

Don't believe Gnome Nanny has anything to do with browser specific proxy settings. Just in case, I checked and no proxy settings are being used in Firefox. The issue is system-wide, not limited to...

(bump) Anyone, really, anyone? Bueller? Anyone? :) (bump)

Just as the title says, Gnome Nanny immediately breaks my Internet connection with any browser when uninstalled. I am 98% sure it's doing some blocking, when uninstalled, but I am unsure how to...

Awesome, glad you found a way around it. :)

See this thread. ;)

A quick Google query led me to the issue.

Two good things about this.

1) It's being taken seriously and a fix should come down in...

This may be nothing, but I'm curious.

Doing a iwconfig/ifconfig, are you seeing any excessive errors/retries? Second thought, you mentioned that you're connected okay to the access point. Is the...

It may be power management related. While this is reported to not help with this specific issue and driver, you can give it a whirl anyway.


sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

If that does nothing,...

I hear ya, those Ubuntu updates can be hit and miss sometimes. This is why I tend to test a new release before installing it. This is also true of the 3.0 kernel, which has a number of minor issues...

Having visited the bios of my own system I found nothing that seemed "broken". In reality, I have a PC that has always worked perfectly with Ubuntu, among other distros. I see branding...that's the...

I agree. Not every Ubuntu update is going to be butter smooth. We know this from running other OS'. Stuff happens, revert and test. ;)

Yes, Cheese is crap. Instead, Google "Photobooth For Ubuntu...

Officially, yes there is no Optimus love on Ubuntu. Unofficially, there is a "hack work-a-round" that may not be supported by Ubuntu and I recommend asking about potentially voiding any PC warranties...

Rebranded? No, more accurately would be to say highly customized. I own two of their systems. It's no more rebranded than a PC you built yourself. The case and board, might be used from other...

I can answer everything except for the backlighting on the keyboard. The only backlit keyboard I have, is my old trusty i-rocks keyboard for my System76 desktop PC. I own two System76 PCs. One is...

Ah, yes, carl9170. Cool. With any luck carl9170 will help with some of the problems. Another thought for problematic wifi dongles is to test PCLinuxOS. I've seen their wireless support remains...

Amazes me no one has mentioned this. Not that most people realize the real problem -- heat.is.a.problem.

I am not kidding. Try this: next time it's bugging out, feel the dongle. Feel a bit hot to...

Following this thread and it occurs to me -- you're using a rather dated release of Ubuntu (yes, it's LTS...but it's not going to have newer bug fixes). Wouldn't using 11.04 make a lot more sense?...

I work with Earth Networks (owners of the WeatherBug brand) and was part of the reason why there was a Linux version in the first place. Few things.

1) WB for Linux hasn't been updated since...

Been trying to figure this out for days now. Any version of Ubuntu, Sound Preferences and the Application tab. Why is it apps like XMBC always default to a 50% level of volume? It's really...

Yeah, the project is defunct as there has been hope by yours truly that we'd see the Linux community build something up around the WeatherBug API. GTK, Qt, whatever works and has its code available...

This youtube video will show you how.
