My mistake. I thought you were trying to install from the live desktop. If you can"t get the desktop to load I'm not sure what to tell you. Sorry.

From the live session open Software center > all files and search for ubiquity-slideshow. Click the remove button and wait for it to finish. Then try to install mint again. I've had to do this on...

I had a similar problem recently with an HP notebook. t was caused by a recent driver update. I removed bcmwl-kernel-source_6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1_amd64.deb and replaced it with ...

Looks like the problem was caused by a recent update. Finally noticed the ubuntu system (G7) was using a newer version of the driver. Uninstalled it and replaced with the older version. Now all...

If I stumble across anything I'll surely let you know. Thanks again for the help. Something I just noticed is when the G7's card is active none of the systems can see each other with samba.

They are both on channel 6 and neither will change. I truly do thank you for your help. Gonna keep plugging away and maybe I'll get lucky.

Well I can't swap wireless cards among these laptops because HP whitelists the hardware and if it isn't the exact part number you get an error on boot. (Unsupported wireless device detected system...

All systems are using wireless. Haven't got a cable to try hard wiring, however I have tried a usb wireless on the G7 and everything works fine. The Probook connection is still Ok. Will have to try...

Here's the problem. I have three laptops: HP G7 with broadcom 4313 (Ubuntu 12.04), HP Probook with broadcom 4313 (Mint 14), HP DV6000 with broadcom 4311 (Mint14). The G7 and DV6000 have no trouble....

If you have wired access to the internet you can type this command without the quotes in a terminal and it should get it working after a reboot.
"sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source"

This is on their website.

Try

rfkill unblock 0
If that doesn't work do the switch and again try
rfkill unblock 0
If this doesn't work you will have to wait for someone with more knowledge than I have.

An external usb adapter that has always worked for me is the Alfa AWUS036H

Hard blocked normally means a physical switch is turned off. If there isn't a switch I'm not sure what then try
rfkill unblock 0

Try
rfkill unblock all

Thanks for this information.

Morbius1 thanks for the help. It appears something has gone screwy with my router. I hooked up an old netgear and everything is back to normal. Don't know why I didn't try that first. Anyway thanks...

I created the file and SMB jack-g7 shows up in nautilus. And I don't understand why the problem started suddenly. As far as I know nothing has been changed on the computers or the router. Also I...

There are no firewalls running except on the router. Added line to smb.conf and restarted services. smbtree returns the same output.

Thanks for the reply. Restarting nmbd didn't help. The machines can all connect with the second command. And the third command shows all connected machines, including one of the phones. Do you have a...

Network consists of four computers. They are running Ubuntu 12.04, Debian 6, Bodhi 2, and Xbuntu 12.04. Everything has been normal up till today. None of them show up in any file browser. And smbtree...

Right. on the computer. Sorry it didn't work. not sure what to try now.

It should make the computer recognize your phone. You may have to restart the computer after creating the file. Hope it works for you, that's what I had to do to get my phone to show up.

I had to create a file called 51-android.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. You can try creating that file and putting this in it. SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f000",...
