Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: likewise-open5

I struggled for a good title to this bug report.   I would just like to
report my experience with this package which has been less than good.

I have tried this package twice from clean and updated installs, once on
Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6 and twice on the Beta.  No other third party sw/ is
installed.  This in vanilla 9.04 updated with likewise-open5.

I am running using the AMD64 alternate install on a Dell D820 Laptop
(wired networking).

On both attempts at using this package, it installed correctly.  Using
the likewise-open5-gui package I joined an AD domain.   However, on
first (and every) domain login, I get a Failed to initialise HAL error.
After that I get continuous launch of something.  I can't say what as my
the "something" is started again and again and again filling my task
panel with no end.  The only option I have to stop this is to log out.
If I login with a domain account I get the same again.

So, sod it I think.  Not ready yet.   Not released, no problems, I'll
just uninstall it and I'll be OK.

When uninstalling the package it says it leaves the domain.  This seems
to be from a client perspective only as the laptop is still visible AD
and has to be removed on the domain controller.

After the uninstall, and reboot, when I login (with a local account) my
network no longer works.   I just see the animated connecting icon.
This never stops and I never get an address.     If I reconfigure to use
a static address, then networking is OK.   If I change back to DHCP
(good for home and work), then no address again.  Not good.

The only way I know of getting everything working again then is to
reinstall the laptop.

I'm sure you probably would like a bit more detail for this.  Depending
on what is requested I will  be able to repeat, but given the amount of
time it consumes to get everything working again I don't want to repeat
too many times so please be explicit as to what is needed.   Note I am
on GMT+12 (NZ).

Currently I have likewise 4 installed and will try to join the domain,
login, leave the domain tomorrow.

I see there is perhaps a feature freeze exception for likewise-open5
such that it might officially get into 9.04.   From my perspective it
really does not look good (on AMD64).
