Alright! Booting normally now.
Thank you ajgreeny and all others.
I think we can close this thread now?

I followed your suggestions but did not reboot-yet...
As for your question, I think I used chmod 777 to get rid of the .ICEauthority problem but I am not sure anymore.
OK,rebooting now.

Alright,her we go:

I am pretty sure I never used sudo nautilus. However, I installed a electronic ID card with the synaptic package manager and it installed alright and then it asked me to continue in a terminal with...

No, I never used sudo in a GUI. I always use sudo in a terminal.
The problem is that as it happened I fixed the .dmrc issue with what I found on this forum,and it went allright. Only on restart I...

I am really sorry to get back at this issue again.
I had a dmrc issue (don't know how I got it) but I went to this forum, found the solution and applied it only to find out that on restart I had a...

I did another test. Since I have a WinXP on my laptop as well,I booted that and then tried to wireless printing on my DCP-195C USB-connected to my Desktop-well no problem there. He printed whatever I...

well, maybe I was a little bit too fast. Though it is working allright i still have to go into a terminal on every boot and do
sudo restart smbd
sudo restart nmbd
otherwise I can't get to my...

Let me clarify: I would indeed have that printer working wireless. The printer is usb-connected to my desktop and I want it to print wireless from my laptop.
And yes, I used the Brother installer...

OK, I installed the new Ubuntu 14.10, and it is working, slowly and sluggishly, but it is working.
Had big problems to get it connected wireless to my Desktop PC but solved.
Had big problems to...

Tried it as you said and it works!
Thanks a lot r.stiltskin!.
We can consider this thread closed.

I installed the new Ubuntu 14.10, it was allright, a bit slower than my old Ubuntu 10.10 I must say. Wireless was a problem but finally solved. (Dell Inspiron Laptop 1501,HDD120GB, RAM 2GB).
I...

Well,I did and...success! I installed Ubuntu 14.10 in place of Mint (had to use Gparted for it to do it right) and then did what you suggested:l
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer without...

OK, will do when I got some time. Thanks for staying with me!

Well, finally I got success! But not with Ubuntu,I got it with Mint 17.1.
Now I did all the same things we talked about but no luck....

Yes,I connected an ethernet connection,and yes I can see the Ubuntu 10.10 partition and boot it and it works (wireless) but not the 14.10-no wireless and the laptop wifi light out.

Allright, I did all you said-no luck
sudo apt-get update was Ok
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source: not installed, so not to be removed
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer: not to be...

I am very happy I am not the only guy having problems with wireless and Ubuntu.
I have a broadcom 4311 802.11b/g 14e4:4311(rev 01) card on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop and up to Ubuntu 10.10 I...

I read the sticky notes,you know.
I have a Broadcom wireless card BCM 4311 802.11b/g 14e4: 4311 (rev01)
Tried several of the possible solutions-no luck. So I'll stick with Ubuntu 10.10 because...

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 for quite a time now, so I thought about upgrading to a newer version. Now, in order to do that I have to save all my stuff (because upgrading over the internet always ends...

I understand your problem which is quite different of mine.I am in a home situation with two PC's(Desktop-Laptop).Laptop is connected wireless to my Linksys router with the Desktop and the...

Just my 2 cents. I just bought a Brother 195C all in one (the lights went out on my Canon Pixma MP520)and installed it on my WinXP desktop. Then I went about getting it to work on my Ubuntu 10.10...

I followed Herman's way and what a joy! I now have a Grub2 boot CD besides my Grub1 boot CD. I can boot whatever OS I want with it and just a few lines:
set root=(hd0,x)
chainloader +1
boot
Now I...

I fully understand Linux caters to the server market and rightly so.But I still maintain Grub2 makes it a lot more complicated than it was with Grub1 for the average user.Having said that,I think I...

Yes, Oldfred I read all that but still,admit Grub1 is a lot easier to handle and that even if you're used to Grub2. I just don't understand why they made a beautiful simple system so complicated....
