Bug Description
Binary package hint: mwavem
This report was launched automatically when installing several packages with synaptic package manager, in a Toshiba Satellite U205 with Intel Core 2 Duo(T7200)/945GM Express.
I could never make the winmodem work as linmodem, this time I just clicked either directly or transitively mwavem in Synaptic Package Manager under Ubuntu 8.10 x386, it seems very similar to reports:
#377149 mwave intall crashed
#152724 mwavem crashes on Thinkpad 600E when trying to dial
Because this report was launched automatically, I do not know what is going on, I added it as a new report just to add more information about the hardware, although it is probably already included in the information collected by the error reporting program.
This is a cut/paste of the synaptics installation window:
