I had the same problem with dropped connections on my laptop. Try installing wicd as your network manager. Worked for me. However, wicd is for wireless only, so if you want to plug in with an...

I have a fresh install of 10.04, and am not planning anything until the next LTS version.

Save everything and do a fresh install, thats what I would do

Thank you, BicyclerBoy, for your help. I can do no more tonight, and I am working remotely out of town for a week, so am offline then. When I get back, I will be looking to get my audio working,...

I understand this now.

I tried adding that to my repositories again and reloaded, still is not there, but you say its not important, so thats fine with me.

I need to get the iquik ppa added then. I'd like to read more...

Your link took me here: Index of /team-iquik/alsa/ubuntu at http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-iquik/alsa/ubuntu/

There are two folders there, dists and pool.

OK This is very confusing.

I guess my question here is what package am I looking for to upgrade to 1.0.24.

Oh wait, I just reopened Synaptic to look at the repositories and its not there, I don't know why. I got the...

Should I add this to my repositories?
ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa

I went ahead and added it, I'm trying to find out what's next.

Well, thank you for helping me here.

I have ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa/ubuntu lucid main in my repositories. I found that looking for answers this evening. And with that I was able...

Hey, I don't mean to hijack this thread but I am having difficulty with getting HDMI audio to my TV. If I've breached any protocol just let me know and I'll start my own thread.

I installed a...

I'm getting a new screen while booting. The Grub boot screen now opens and lists the last eight kernels and safe modes.

It's not a big deal, I'm just wondering what happened. Grub is version...

Should it work in Ubuntu? I'm not technical enough to know. It works in that other OS.

Thanks again.

My friend has her laptop plugged in to her TV and it works well, except Movie Player and VLC's video display windows are black. The Desktop display is fine on the TV and I can see the movie on the...

How can I delete those multiple posts? That was an accident. The message wouldn't load and I kept hitting "Submit Reply", lol like my many "Notification Areas".

Sorry 'bout that.

PS Epiphany...

:D

I would just like to mention that maybe the instructions on the pppoeconf page I refered to in my first post here could use a bit of editing.

First that it will affect NetworkManager like it...

dineshs - Thanks! That did bring it back. :KS

Any thoughts as to whether it was installing WICD or using pppoeconf that caused that? I could post the lines I removed if that helps.

I checked my installation disk and there is no nm-applet package, that must be erroneous info I had. Sorry. The "apt-get install nm-applet" was recommended in #ubuntu IRC.

I am still removing...

If you right-click on the menus you can Edit them, and just drag and drop what programs you want to where you want them :)

Yes they are installed. But is there also supposed to be an nm-applet (or possibly network-manager-applet) package installed?

Thank you for the info that the pon dsl-provider connection will be...

Thanks dineshs, although I don't see that working as I have no nm-applet package in Synaptic.

Here's a couple tries in terminal to show

dpkg -s nm-applet
Package `nm-applet' is not installed...

No, I've only dual-booted, so either Windows or Ubuntu, but not both. I had no problems with Windows connection to the network, but Ubuntu would have wireless connection problems like yours, and it...

Sorry that didn't work for you. Hopefully you can resolve your issue and THEN use wicd. :)

Good luck!

Can anyone help me recover the nm-applet?

I think I do recall switching NetworkManager off in the startup applications. Doing that might stop the NM icon from being in the panel (lol tray is a windows term) and then just start using wicd. ...
