Please stop replying and close this bug if you are not willing to help. We asked you several times for you to TRY again. We know that GPRS, Dial-up & friends might have your problem, but it's really hard to backport to the LTS, also only you reported the problem (no matter if your friends had it too, in the whole world only you reported) and the problem was only seen by me now.
I do agree with you with one thing, KPackageKit was beta whey it got pushed into Kubuntu, imo that was a bad choice, the python backend had several bugs (and KPackageKit too of course) which is why it got a much better acceptance in Fedora when it came out. But software evolves and now I can say that it's not beta anymore, and it's really good, I do use it daily and it has now a very good acceptance. One thing that for the future release I wan't to do is to detect when on GPRS, Dial up and don't check for updates or try to check for updates. And limit the download bandwidth usage, but this is future, and this is the only moment of life you can get future earlier. By paying me! Unless you are an old person you would do that lol Now about your bug, first you need to understand one thing, Synaptic, update-manager, python-apt, aptcc, apt-get and aptitude they all share the same piece of code that goes and download things, which is libapt. Now python apt backend probably had a bug regarding canceling transactions, which we never saw because of our bandwidth, and as I don't have such internet connection I could limit my router to give me just 54kbps but that wouldn't make me 100% sure, because you have the environment that had always given you trouble. So please be kind an test it, you will just need a reboot in case of the bug appearing, and in that case please go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and tell us your speed so we can try to improve the software. As I said I didn't know you problem before, I'm just trying to help (in my free time). -- [lucid] kpackagekit waxes all Internet bandwidth until reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425280 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
