Hello, i find this bug a very critical one, since new {linux,ubuntu} users won't search deeper if their network interface don't work. They won't search in the launchpad or in google for a fix. They may continue using ubuntu even if some application doesn't work in the way they want it to, thinking that it can be configured later, but for this kind of bug there is a high probability that they just think that their hardware is just not supported and just give up with linux or ubuntu. I always thought that ubuntu was a distribution that made the most possible to prevent new users from giving up because of loss of courage. So here is my question : why no fixing this bug since the only thing to do is adding a single line to a text file ? i searched for "SRU" and i found out it is "Stable Release Updates" , so i searched for the requiered property for a bug to have his SRU fix. And i honestly think that this bug fits the requiered conditions, i quote : "Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu. This includes packages which are totally unusuable, like being uninstallable or crashing on startup." indeed, the driver used to work well without any changes of options in gutsy and feisty so there is abviously a regression. "Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel)." Since the patch only consist in adding a single line to a text file i think we can conclude that the patch is obviously safe.
So, can somebody explain me why this bug won't be fixed ? -- Ethernet (nVidia MCP55) not working [ gutsy, hardy] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136836 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
