I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 onto a blank hard drive, and am using it as my only OS. The first problem I have is that I cannot connect to the internet via ethernet connection. I plug it in, and the network icon will flash a bit, and then tell me I'm disconnected. I'm running on an Acer Aspire 5552 Laptop. I do believe I have an AMD processor.
The second issue is that lightdm fails on boot. This problem began earlier today, in my usual morning boot. I'm using gdm right now so I can use the computer, but I'd prefer to use lightdm, if at all possible.
Also note that I'm fairly a newbie with Ubuntu, so I"m not sure how to retrieve or post logs, so if this is needed, I'll need to know how to do that. As for hardware information, I can easily get any additional info if needed. Any other information that is needed to help resolve the issue, just ask, and I'll do my best to provide it.
