"I'd love to have more details about the "broken packages and inconsistent dependencies." thing"
Sorry, I don't remember the details. I had to uninstall several packages and reinstall them (or similarly named ones) to deal with conflicting dependencies. It's very confusing. "Second point, for licence purpose, it is not possible for Canonical and Ubuntu to host some packages like alsa-firmware on their own repositories. The case has been discussed a lot, there is nothing to do at this point. That is why Medibuntu was created by a third party team." Ok, but this does not count as "supporting" hardware. If that is true, then this hardware will be forever unsupported by Ubuntu, and the process for making it supported on individual computers is currently unacceptable for most people who might otherwise choose Ubuntu. Also, isn't the whole point of the "restricted drivers" dialog to make installation of things like this easier? Why isn't this included there? Is there a better place for discussion about this? -- Ubuntu is missing the alsa-firmware package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
