Thread: Ubuntu is driving me crazy!


i installed ubuntu 9.04 last night. took me day figure out how dial modem working, succeeded. decided update stuff update manager. updated things, rebooted, , modem driver in dev/modem gone every time reboot , doesn't show in system-hardware drivers. can re-install every time reboot, why should have to? didn't before. plus, pidgin doesn't seem work if disable , enable everything. why doesn't modem show in hardware drivers anymore? why updating things cause many problems?!

liking ubuntu, i'm getting frustrated it. didn't think i'd ever this, think i'm going have boot xp again regain sanity.

im guessing you're using winmodem (softmodem) needs kernel modules , hackery work. hat off getting work in first place!

wont make love linux more, realize these things such pain because designed exclusively work windows, , of them without documentation allows linux developers write proper drivers them. (never mind manufacturers make own drivers. after all, talking concept saves them $0.2 per modem not including hardware synthesizer , relying on cpu , software that).

can save lot of headaches buying hardware modem ebay $1 + shipping...
