Hi,

I just start to learn fvwm, I installed it from APT->log out from current GNOME->select session, fvwm->login, but then I found I could not connect to Internet? Why?


Is there any steps incorrect above?


Thanks, ;)

It is almost certainly not a window manager problem, but more likely something that has to do with the network that usually gets run in a Gnome session is not being run in the Fvwm session. You can see if your network is up with
ifconfig

More recent versions of Ubuntu have changed the way the network is configured. I've never had good luck with network-manager (outside of Gnome at least), but wicd (http://wicd.sourceforge.net/) works well.
