Hi,

you are right, there might be a bug in network-manager-gnome hidden somewhere,
but as as you found a workaround using wicd and manually editing
/etc/network/interfaces, I think it’s better to close this bug then to keep it
open. Also because this bug mostly describes the workaround and because of
http://qa.debian.org/data/bts/graphs/n/network-manager.png

cheers,
Holger

Comment on First look at Debian Squeeze by Arkham Parkinson

Arkham Parkinson — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 04:57:53 +0000

I’ve installed Debian 6 Squeeze from a single DVD (specificlly, the 1st. DVD) and the installation and upgrade tooks me just 45 minutes just using the grphic install.

However, the installation process in debian is at least in a intermedian level, because Debian combines stability and performance, better than Ubuntu.

Good review!

Comment on Bodhi Linux Review: The Good, the bad, and the really bad by Jeff Hoogland

Open a support request on our user forums.

It is CLEAR you can’t even read terminal output yet you are toting yourself as someone experienced enough to write negative reviews of things you clearly don’t understand. That error you posted in your second message is for an OPTIONAL and EXTRA repo that is NOT enabled by default in Bodhi. It is something YOU added. And it isn’t related to your first issue at all.

Stop blaming Bodhi for carbon based issues. A system upgrade might be a good idea too since you have almost 200 packages wanting updates.

I tried it your way, and still got the same results. (see below) -

I got this error:

W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com precise Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192

That could be the culprint — I will do some digging and see what I can find.
