Yea, the problem is getting that far first. But I definitely plan on doing that once I can get that far. Luckily I already have ubuntu installed and I'm just trying to repair grub.
I'll try that next. I had this problem with my friend a few months ago. We installed vista on his computer but the install failed, leaving a non functioning vista residue on his drive. We decided to...
Yea, that's what I did. I pressed f11 at boot and selected my cd drive containing my ubuntu cd. It gave the dialogue it usually does when I boot from a cd, but took longer than usual. Eventually it...
That is very helpful but I have run into another problem. When I put in a live cd and try and boot from it, it just sits with a "boot from cd..." message like its trying to read the cd and then just...
I had a system set up to dual boot windows xp and ubuntu 8.04. I recently got a copy of windows vista ultimate from a friend and figured I'd try it out. I installed it to be separate from xp so I...

I had posted here earlier about wicd not being able to see my wireless networks and I fixed it with the fwcutter driver so I can now connect to a wireless network and have the connected symbol in my...
Its finally working, thank you to everyone who helped me fix this. I think the fwcutter driver is what finally fixed it.
Well I do have the kind of device stated, unfortunately it didn't tell me useful. I still can't get any of this to work.
I am also using ubuntu 8.04 and in hardware drivers it says no propritary...
Hmm alright. I really need to get this internet to work. This annoying me, haha.
Oh that is silly of me. I should have known to do that on my own. I have had ubuntu long enough to know that.
Alright it just says:

Well I tried sudo iwlist wlan0 scan and it said:

So I was having troubles getting wireless and wired to work on ubuntu so I installed the WICD manager. Now I can get wired to work just fine but for some reason, its not detecting my wireless...
And how exactly can I get wicd manager? Does it come on there standard? Because I can't download it if I can't get online.
I just installed ubuntu on my old compaq presario 2100 and I can't get wireless, or even wired networking to work. The little wireless light is on but I can't figure out how to set it up and keep it...
So I got an old compaq laptop from a friend and decided to intall ubuntu on it. This will be my first ubuntu laptop and I am having some network troubles. I can't seem to connect to my wireless...
Hmm that is strange. Well I have a related question. I used to have the little connection icon on my top bar near the time and the sound icon. Last time I rebooted, it disappeared. How do I get that...

I'll try and get it as close as I can. I have to look at it on the laptop while posting it on the desktop since apparently plugging in a network cable won't give me instant access.
iwconfig is as...
So I just installed ubuntu on my old laptop since windows was just slowing it down. I finished my install but I can't seem to connect to my wireless network. I went to System>Administration>Network...
I'd really rather not disable my system sound because I use both while in windows(one for game sounds, the other for ventrilo). I know there is a command like:
