Dear Ubuntu Guru_s
I have install Ubuntu for possible more than 70 times since 8.10 and other variants, on perhaps 30+ computers and this is the first time ever I got this trouble.
After successful installation of Ubuntu 9.04, I installed Edubuntu CD add on. Then I try to access Internet using Firefox (3.0 default installed).
I could not access any website.
I could update and the auto update of Ubuntu worked fine.
I updated everything till it said your system is up to date.
After the completion of the on line update, I still fail to use Firefox to access Internet.
I uninstalled FireFox using synaptic to mark for complete removal of FireFox 3.0.
After that reinstalled Firfox 3.0 again with the same problems.
Then again use synaptic to complete removal of FF3.0 and this time shut down the computer.
After power up see nothing check on FF in any version both AdRemove Program and Synaptic.
I installed FF 3.5 which resulted in FF 3.0 and FF 3.5.
Still cannot access Internet.
So I decided to install Dillo, Seamonkey and Opera 10.
They could access internet immediately, no problems.
Special notes:
the defualt homepage is Welcome to Edubuntu 8.04 !
which is strange to have that.
I may means I install the wrong Edubuntu version to Ubuntu 9.04.
But that should not destroy FireFox access to the Internet fuction.
I have 2 options,
1. reinstall the 9.04 and make sure I use Edubuntu 9.04 after Ubuntu.
2. Help debug " if there is any bug on the present installed Ubuntu 9.04 & Edubuntu (suspect wrong CD of 8.04 in the name of Edubuntu 9.04)
Any Guru want to help of I should just Reinstall.
PS. I have install 9.04 more than 10 times on my this notebook and now flaws nor problems like this before.
Best Regards
