Failed to open gnome control center

[ronacc]

try clicking the network indicator in the top bar it goes directly to network settings. It may not work since it seems to be part of system settings , worth a try though .

First, you need to know your network interface

ifconfig -a
or 
ip address show

Let's say your interface is wlan0, do some scanning for available wireless network

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

To connect, try this

sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ID key s:WIRELESS_KEY

NETWORK_ID is name of network, And WIRELESS_KEY is the key

then,

sudo dhclient wlan0

Doesn't look right to me on my netbook, this new gnome-control-center-unity...

What doesn't look right? It has some code to adapt to display better on small screens.

All is fine now after latest dist-upgrade. Previously, when I open Appearance, i cannot see Launcher icon size settings(on a netbook). Please look at my attachment on previous post, you will know what i mean>http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.p...3&d=1353640823
