meh, I basically gave up. Talking to the management of the school is like talking to a brick wall. Maybe I don't understand Chinese "face" well enough, but being a private school that is for teaching foreigners Chinese I feel their willingness to compromise is awful.
At no time did the management of the main campus make any effort to communicate in English while I was there in person when we were discussing this problem. And this is a school who teaches beginner Chinese classes so they obviously have teachers who can speak English well enough to deal with this problem.
In the end all I have to say is stay away from this school. There are plenty of other choices now.
I was able to re-enable the managed device with the first one, but I still have problems connecting with DSL the normal way. In the end I used pppoeconf to connnect automatically at startup, and have to run sudo pon dsl-provider if I get disconnected.
I never had this problem with previous versions of Ubuntu. For some the problem is apparently fixed after updating, and for others like myself it's obviously not fixed... kind of a pain to always use pon dsl-provider when I lose my connection... though I guess once could create an icon on the desktop to do that.
Yes, that's how mine is currently set-up. Mine is manually configured to automatically connect through pppoeconf. Sometimes the connection drops out for whatever reason and I have to run the following command to reconnect:
sudo pon dsl-provider
The problem is supposed to be fixed, and after updating you should be able to use the "managed device" in Ubuntu. I've never looked into how to re-enable the "managed device" part though, maybe this weekend I will look into it.
The traffic police will be the ones smoking in the corner and spitting.... while the cars will be parked down the center of the street, and cars going down the wrong way because they can't turn left due to said cars in the middle of the street.
Just saw it this week on a road just off of Beijing Lu.
Last time I checked heavy pollutants can't be "flushed" clean. The title should be related to this: "the effort is expected to provide Kunming with another source of water in times of drought as well as generate hydropower."
And they can move the bus stops into the bike lines like all the newly redone streets and free up two more lanes on Beijing Lu..... it's working so well. I heard the hospitals love it.
Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.
