Thanks again for all the help. Is there anything I can do to help contribute. Write a quick document for another newbie like me detailing what steps I did? Is that of any value?

I saw two home folders. Opened up the older one and all my files were in there! Awesome, thanks so much!

I created two profiles then? Is the best way just to copy the files in the old profile into...

Hi,

Can you point me to how I can do that? I know nothing about how to do an install. Where do I download the right version? After that, what do I do when I plug in the USB?

Anyone? I can get to the Grub screen and the command line. But don't know what to do next.

This is a dead end then and I just have to live with it and hope it doesn't occur when I'm on the road?

Another piece of data fwiw, I got it working again with the ethernet workaround. The only difference this time was the power was plugged in along with the battery. When I was trying it earlier...

Haven't had it happen on the road. Only at home. I'm kind of confused how my router at home would make all the networks disappear though?

And it happened again tonight, except now the ethernet...

Hi,

I have the Starling 5 and only for a few months. Is it now safe to update to 11.10 and not worry about the wifi? I've been traveling and unwilling to deal with any potential problems since I...

And it's fixed. I kept on trying to toggle the function switch and it finally took and connection established right away.

Looks like the wireless hardware switch is off. Searching the forums, I haven't figured out how to turn it back on. I've tried looking in system settings>hardware but not seeing what I need to switch...

I have a month old Starling 5 and the wireless was working fine. I wanted to try using the hardwire LAN connection. I switched off the wireless, plugged in the line to my router and everything...

Thanks! Appreciate the quick response. I'm trying to run the unit through the normal things I would use it for in this next couple of weeks. So far everything is running a lot smoother and cleaner...
