Troubleshooting

Well i got the wireless to work out of the Box. But after each restart something weird happens. It decides that it does not want to work, and i have to reconfigure the connection. But it does connect to my neighbors unprotected network no problem. Just not my own router that i have WPA pre shared key set up with.

I am connecting to a linksys wireless/wired router. I really do not know what other information I can supply as I am new to linux as of two days ago. If anyone has any idea as to how I can fix this problem it would be of help. Mainly because this computer is going to be used as a public computer for my house and most who use it will not be able to reconfigure the access all of the time.

hey all.

im running a toshiba laptop with a centrino 2 dual-core processor (2.13GhZ) with 4GB RAM and an ATI Mobility HD 3650 graphics card.

i installed Ubuntu 9.04 and everything was sweet, no worries.

then i restarted the computer. BIG MISTAKE

as soon as it rebooted the graphics were pixellated and everything was that fluoro green and pink.

im stressing out and using the vista section of my partition (as i have set up a multi boot), to ask on here but from the sound of things im assuming that my problem is in the graphics and i cant figure out how to default the VESA drivers.

any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm quite new to Linux and command lines haha.

kind regards
Rob

When I put my eee 900A on battery power, so I take the electricity cable of the computer, the screen turns black. What can I do about this?
The battery was loaded at about 30% so that shouldn't be a problem.
It isn't shut down because the lights burn and if I put the cable in again, I see everything again but also a sun loading.
I tried searching for energy options and see if it automatically goes to sleep or something, but that doesn't seem to help.
Anyone knows how to solve this?

Hi Guys.
I've got a network problem which I can't seem to be able to resolve -
I've recently changed my ECI B-FOCUS 270PR adsl modem/router from modem configuration (pppoe) into router configuration (pppoa).
the IP assignment with DHCP works ok. I can get it to connect the network via wired connection into the router's hub. (eth0)
when I ping it resolves all the addresses and pings ok.
only when I try loading a page with the browser or activate apt-get it contacts the site, and waits forever for a response from the site. (or headers in the apt-get case).
I currently have no firewall installed.
When my modem was in pppoe configuration (not as a router) the connection worked ok.
When I'm using vista the connection in the current configuration it works ok.
The problem persists either when using my desktop (kubuntu 8.04) or using my laptop (kubuntu 8.10) and also when booting from the live CD.

Will appreciate any help trying to resolve the problem.
