Hi all,
Today, quite by accident, I found that Ubuntu 8.10's network manager
recognises my N95 as a "mobile internet device" and will easily allow me
to connect to the Internet (through 3, amongst a wealth of others)
through it. Just what I've been looking for. However, that's on my
desktop machine. My laptop is running 8.04.1.
I have been toying with the idea of upgrading it to 8.10, but had a
fairly bad experience upgrading a completely plain 8.04 to 8.10 - as an
experiment I installed 8.04 on the desktop and upgraded it to 8.10... it
didn't go very well, so I installed 8.10 from scratch.
I have added 8.10's repos to my sources.list and added the following to
/etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=intrepid
Pin-Priority: 100
So, hopefully any intrepid repos will be looked upon unfavourably. I
just ran:
apt-get install -t intrepid network-manager network-manager-gnome
to install the 8.10 network manager tools and it came up with this:
The following extra packages will be installed:
capplets-data cups cups-bsd cups-client cups-common

Now, I might be daft, but I'm not stupid. I understand about
dependencies, but how can cups be a dependency of network-manager?!
I'm confused.
Grant.
