Koca Kelle: just in case she doesn’t see your question (since it has been more than three months since she left her comment), I suggest you ask your question in the Ubuntu Forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/

A question to Stacy Mader:
Since my 8.04 did not recognize D-Link DWG-G12 C1, how can I find out whether or not rt73 module is supplied by 8.04?
Better yet, how did you do it exactly?
Respecfully,
Koca Kelle

I just installed 8.04 and my D-LINK DWL-G122 C1 worked straight away! I can connect to my WPA wireless network.

I am using the default rt73 module supplied with 8.04 - I was not required to download the Ralink or Seamonkey open source code to get things working.

my problems with hardy:
- sound (pulseaudio) works erraticly (sometimes does, sometimes not)
- very slow (or rather, very unresponsive) compared to gutsy on a 3 year old laptop
- as a consequence, video playback is choppy using most players. and again, half the time it’s without sound. I can’t live without sound (well…).
- hopefully it gets better one day, but it’ll be too late for me, i’ve tried Archlinux and loved it. it’s got its share of problems with hardware but basic stuff like sound, video and firefox (including flash videos) work beautifully, better than under any other OS I’ve tried.

My first into to Linux was Breezy. I loved it. Compared to Hardy, Breezy is like DOS (but better of course). Ubuntu is developing so fast it will be, if it isn’t already, better than anything else out there including win and osx (okay, they aren’t that hard to beat but you get the idea).

The biggest bug i’ve suffered is that my intel wireless no longer works and the same is true for a lot of people. Sadly the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185470 seems to be being negelected by any developers. Don’t suppose you wanna give it a go as it’s a bit of a show stopper for an LTS release.

Because of the package fluxbuntu-default-settings, My upgrade on three machines was hellish, but after getting those issues resolved, the last thing I wanted to do was set things up.

After a long time downloading twice (I have two 32-bit desktops - one download, and apt-cache - and a one 64-bit laptop) and eight hours of aggravation I just wanted use my computers. Thank you for making Ubuntu so user-friendly!

yes I have tried that and also tried the open-with menu but it doesn’t work
maybe links don’t point where they should anymore(I guess)

Have you tried right clicking on the files and selecting Kaffeine as the default player for these files? Might work.
