Hello all, Just wanted to update you on the progress for the gnome-network-admin package for Ubuntu Studio. First, just a reminder as to why we use gnome-network-admin rather than network-manager. It is my understanding that network-admin was chosen because network-manager has the potential to put a dynamic and indeterminate load on the cpu while it is searching and connecting to new wifi connections it finds available. Since network-admin requires manual configuration to change your network connection you should not experienced any "unexpected" load on your cpu while recording and dropping that part of your uber solo you finally nailed. Recently Chris Coulson updated gnome-network-admin to enable the interface again for Ubuntu Studio users! If you see Chris on the forums or in IRC you might give him a big thanks if you appreciate this change. I'll be sending him a "thank you" email right after I post this one. You can see more information about the update here: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/570828/comments/23">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/570828/comments/23</a> The new version (2.30.2-1ubuntu4) is in the Ubuntu Studio Beta release and I have tested it and found it to enable the configuration dialogue box. If you wanted to test it out as well you can get the latest Ubuntu Studio development daily image release here: <a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/daily/current/">http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/daily/current/</a> The only quirk I found was that I could not start it unless I used the terminal and typed 'network-admin'. I had the network applet on my top panel but it would not start network-admin when I clicked the Configure button. I hope you find this news encouraging and I am happy to report the progress. ScottL
