Re: Wireless connection

This forum is now closed, but if you post the question to the new forum: http://forum.linux.co.uk/ We will be more than happy to help. Please post as much info as you can including your network card make and model, Ubuntu version, how you are running Ubuntu (LiveCD or Dual Boot) and if this problem is with ALL downloads, or just through Synaptic.

Re: Wireless connection

hiya mate. I am trying to use the synaptic manager to install applications on my ubuntu but somehow whichever the app i choose, the download speed is just extremely slooooowwww..... only a few KBs per second. My laptop is duo core with 4GB RAM and the windows download speed on this very same laptop with the same internet connection could reach near 1MBps. Any idea why the speed is like that in unbuntu? Cheers

Sorry for the delay in the reply but a lot of the things you gave me to try took a lot of working out for me and with a very busy start to the year I had to abondon it for a short while. However I finally worked out how to enter the IP address etc etc manually, it did not work at first but with all the surrounding info altered bit by bit eventually it changed from pending to connected and I am sending this reply from the offending Eeee PC. So many thanks to you and your collegues for all your help. THANK YOU. Gaham Morris.

Re: having trouble booting :(

then continue from step 7

Re: having trouble booting :(

After step 7) when you get:   E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  instead of entering 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' enter this instead sudo chroot /media/karmic dpkg --configure -a

Re: having trouble booting :(

Have you got an internet connection when you boot from the LiveCD? at point 4)...did the drive mount...is your drive sda1 ? if unsure... Boot from the Live CD click 'Computer' icon , click 'hard drive' icon, click 'etc' folder, click 'fstab' file you are looking for a file with something like this in it: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass> proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0 # / was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=4519bc2a-7a8b-4703-be8e-594baf97c1fd /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1 # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation UUID=19d9a33f-2ae5-4ba7-90e6-6a56ff847574 none            swap    sw              0       0 /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0   Can you post back the results

Re: having trouble booting :(

accidentally quoted myself. if anyone could tell me what to do. I have a feeling the fix is really easy.     Previously Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec) wrote: 1. - Download/grab a live cd. .... 10. - Reboot and voilá! Fixed for me. Did this but when I get to 7. this happens: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. I entered the command and it didn't seem to do anything. Anyone have any ideas for me?
