Wirless works, wired does not

[Hadaka]

Try booting the machine...or power down.
then click the "dash" the button upper left in the launcher
then type in..terminal...that should give you a terminal choice.

umm...I got a little problem here. I have no terminal to type into? It is just a black square with a header, there is no place to type the command. How do I get my terminal back?

I removed the base64 image that was dragged into the Browser window. If you need to post a screenshot, you can click on the "manage attachments" button and upload the image from there.

Got my terminal back, I switched to another theme, and uninstalled the theme I was using

[GUZZLR]

Screenshot from 2013-05-23 22:23:34.pngThis is odd, I used to have a "wired network 1" listed here...now I don't anymore. Do you think that is the problem?

How do I get my terminal back?

I downloaded the messed-up code for your 'base-64' image before CharlesA removed it. I fixed the code, and what I see WAS a terminal (see attachment). It could have been stuck. Wondering what theme it was


PS:
For Mods : copy code after 'base64,' as text > cat inputfile | base64 --decode > outputfile ; reference : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2097846

Although what CharlesA did was a better solution - teaching users the correct use to avoid such bugs

Nothing still,
Reseting the BIOS scares me...I had the problem of the machine not shutting down for the longest time because it would freeze on the Ubuntu splash screen. I finially got it working by using my "Boot Repair" .iso image. Can we try something else before I mess around with the BIOS?

[GUZZLR]

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zoncolor-themes

Here's the theme pack which my machine did not like

[Hadaka]

are you using network mgr...or wcid?
*If you are using network mrg, then do.

sudo service network-manager restart

thanks

Can we try something else before I mess around with the BIOS?

Like mentioned in the launchpad answer page I linked to, see if the IRQ (Interrupts) are set to be "Set by the system" (or "Auto" or something similar) in your BIOS.

Something important - if your system is UEFI based and this is an EFI based installation, it may not be a good idea to reset the BIOS. I should have mentioned that earlier, I forgot, sorry. Besides, this is only one of a few possibilities, not necessarily the actual reason for the problem. So too much risk may not be worth unless everything else is ruled out.

Just see if there is an "auto" or "set by system" type setting for IRQs or not in the BIOS. Let us know if all the settings are manual.

Also, please install ethtool -

sudo apt-get install ethtool

..then run it and post back its output -

sudo ethtool eth0

It may give us more hints about what is going on.

I tried this, and I still had no network manager. So I then Added "Ethernet Connection 1" and made sure the tabs were correct in your earlier reply (4 attachments) and I do have wired connection by hooking up directly to the modem, this is what was always available to me. So I do have that...just not a wired connection through the routerScreenshot from 2013-05-24 19:14:13.png
