How to reinstall network manager for ubuntu with no internet connection?

Posted on January 8, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I installed this program called wicd. Horrible mistake!! It wouldn’t work with my wifi. And now I can’t install network manager, because I can’t connect to the internet because wicd won’t work (nor will removing it). Wired won’t work either. i’ve googled wicd, but every webpage on the net seems to be singing its praise, which means i can’t find how to solve my proglem. Yes, i will remove the stupid program. But tell me, how do I get network manager up and running again?
I am NOT reinstalling my system.

please, i just want my wifi back!!!

p.s. the live CD will connect to the internet, which is how I’m asking this question right now. can i manipulate it to download the package to my linux home directory? (i have 7.10 gusty gibbon installed over my whole hard drive)

Virtual Machine (for Linux)?

Posted on November 23, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I want to learn more about Linux and the different distros before I try to dual boot or anything of the sort. I tried live cds, but you can’t learn much from those, as you can’t save anything and download anything without having to keep resetting an internet connection. I tried running Linux through Windows Virtual PC 2007 and 2004, but neither of them work. I’ve heard of VMware, but which one do you download? I’ve also heard of Virtual Box and am considering trying it.

So which download is the right one?

Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CD and Internet Connection?

Posted on May 13, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I am trying to figure out if I can connect to the internet via Knoppix 5.1.1 live cd. Everything seems to boot just fine, and during bootup it says that eth0 and DHCP is detected. I tried to configure kwlan, but apparently I am doing it incorrectly or it isn’t possible. I am new to Knoppix and Linux and so I am not very sure. My network seems to show up in kwlan, I clicked the “Activate” button, but I cannot get online. I have no firewall. I am trying to connect with a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN – Packet Scheduler Miniport. Any ideas?

Getting linux to access the network?

Posted on March 31, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

I would like to use my Knoppix Live CD Linux distro at school, but it won’t detect the Internet connection through the school’s network. It can see other computers on the LAN just fine; it just can’t get on the Internet. I think it may have a problem to do with security, (our school uses Novell to manage network account access). For the record I’m going to point out that I do have permission to use the school’s Internet access; I’m not doing anything shifty. It’s just I don’t think Linux realizes that.
So, any ideas?
