Sorry about this but I'm trying to find out why ubuntu wi-fi isn't working now on my laptop (it was last night). I am following a tutorial that says to start..Open a terminal window (such as gnome-terminal), and enter the following command:
nm-tool Umm..how do I open a teminal window? I know how to run a DOS prompt in Windows but no idea how to find "gnome-terminal" or run a command in ubuntu.
I have problem with internet connection on my Ubuntu, but the major problem is that i can't copy the message from my terminal while I type:ifgonfig and paste it here to show you what is the problem.

I was also able to define a default window size of a new terminal window. But since after upgrading to to the first release this year and a complete new installation of the current release Maverick i do not find this option anymore. Is there a way how to set up the terminal default window size?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to get my GetNet 300 GN-621U USB wireless device working for a while now. When I first booted into my clean meerkat 64-bit install, both my wired and wireless were visible in network connections but neither could connect. I have since figured out what was wrong with the internal NIC and am happy to say i'm connected to the net, but need wireless to work. Having blacklisted the generic wireless driver, i see nothing anywhere that the device is on the system
My initial attempt led me down the route of installing ndisgtk for running the windows driver. I've since removed the driver/device from Windows Wireless Devices and have been trying to install the bona fide linux driver from getnet.

Newly installed Debian system from years with Fedora. Ran system update and system got hosed, booted but no Gnome. Got Gnome back after MANY 'aptitude upgrade's. Xemacs disappeared! Along with other things I installed. Tried to install Xemacs but it is broken and will not install, complains about dpkg TOO current(?). So downloaded Xemacs for Xemacs.org and compiled source, installed.
Now when I start Xemacs is does not run in an X window but runs emacs in a terminal window. If I run it from a script, it complains about 'not in tty window'.
My env show:

to be able to work on my novel on both my laptop and workstation. how i want it. if i'm at my workstation, i'll have my laptop. if i'm on laptop, i may be away from workstation. so it makes sense that perhaps i could have it so that i only really have a copy on my laptop, that can be accessed from my workstation too. alternatively, having a two way sync-up so whichever is newer updates versons on each, could be a more sensible aproach. having only a copy on my workstation, accessable from the laptop is less welcome, since sometimes i'll be in an area with my laptop without an internet connection, and still want to be working on that file.
setting up my machines so i have full access to each from each, would be extra ideal, and something i've wanted for a while, but never got around to. i've never set up file sharing before, and from my prior limited knowledge, and today's searches on the topic, i find there are many many options available to me. i am on a deadline ("nanomo") and can't really devote the time to do a more thorough investigation of the methods of how to set this up and how to specifically achieve it.
the workstation runs toorox (gentoo), and the laptop has a dual boot of arch and crunchbang (ubuntu).
as i say, i'm on limited time here, and am just looking more for the quick fix just now, rather than ultimate knowledge n power. i need it now, i dont need it perfect, so to speak. though i see no need to compromise security to achieve these ends, i'm not in that much frantic desperate urgency for it.
I find xcompmgr more than adequate for making a desktop look pretty modern, and I don't like the more extravagentCompiz gimmicks - but there is one thing that irritates when using xcompmgr which someone here might have worked round.
Rounded window borders don't draw and redraw properly when using the Terminal (gnome-terminal and the LXDE and Xfce ones) or system monitor and moving them from their default place. You get this little white botch at the corners. I'm not massively technical and I'm ambivalent about how much more I want to learn as I have plenty of creative outlets already, but I would like to solve this. Somehow xcompmgr is treating these programs as a different class? It's capable of drawing the window borders properly as it is just these two programs that get botched. Possibly this doesn't get noticed as maybe people usually use xcompmgr with openbox and LXDE and their square window borders. I did do a search but there was nothing matching what I saw.
Is there a way to set a default terminal window size when I click on the "Terminal" icon? I need my terminal to be of a certain size every time I click on it?

Everything working perfectly whilst at home, but now I'm on the move I'm having troubles.At my parents' house trying to connect to their wifi. Wifi is on, their network is detected, I can go in and enter the WAP key and I get the strobing wifi icon in the top panel as though it's signing in, but after about 4 seconds I get a black screen and everything freezes. All that remains on the screen is the mouse pointer in its last position and a non-flashing cursor in the top left.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu boots fine with wireless turned off via the laptop wireless button on the case, and fine with wireless on but no networks remembered, but as soon as I try to connect to a network, I get the strobing wireless icon in the top panel and then the whole system freezes. It switches to a black screen with a non-flashing terminal cursor in the top left corner of the screen plus a frozen mouse pointer in the last position from when Ubuntu was working. If I force a power-off after this, which I have to, then unless I manually turn off wifi using the laptop button then Ubuntu never boots and I just get a black screen after the BIOS screen. I can connect to the internet via wired connection.

For example if I am downloading with 70mbps from other server , do I still have 100mbps upload BW available ? or 30mbps is available ? in other words for a 100mbps connection , the limit of download+upload is 100mbps ? or we have 100mbps download and 100mbps upload available ?

But if I have firefox already up and running it will open as tabs of the firefox I already have running. How can I open the multiple pages in a new window in this case?
- Using -no-remote could work, but I would have to make a whole different firefox profile for each set of pages, not really a solution. - Also tried setting it to a particular display and it opened as a tab again. ie. firefox [URL] -display=":0.0"

View 5 Replies View RelatedI don't quite know how to put this problem - recently, my installation has started losing the text in terminal and other windows. I will open a terminal window, and there's nothing there - no cursor, no background. After this occurs, I try to restart the system - the 'Restart" window appears, and is also blank. Hitting enter at this point blanks the entire screen to black, after which the only recourse is to power-down and restart. Of course, then I need to run the recovery mode and fsck to get the system back up.
The first time this happened, I had to rebuild the kernel to recover. Luckily, i lost no data, but this is making the system unusable. I need a stable system to finish the project I am developing for an embedded Linux system.
