Okay, I done it. My Kubuntu is 'broke'. I hope that I can repear it.
I'm not a newbie anymore in Linux. But I'm not an expert too, somewhere between those two 'status''
Okay, my home is 1 big wireless network. 8) You can see this topic where I ask for help to work with the wireless networkcard.
My laptop is an old one... A Pentium 2 300 MGz, 64 mb sd ram (tjee, that's not very much.
)
Before I had an Linux Ubuntu 5.10 running on it. Worked great, but it was very very very slow.
Since I installed Kubuntu 6.06, it's speedy. 8) Amazing, Kubuntu works much better with slow hardware then Ubuntu does... Then again, I haven't tried Ubuntu 6.06 (and sorry, but not planning too, I prefer KDE.)
So what is the problem? My wireless networkcard (it's a 'bus'-card, in that special slot in the laptop, it's the kind of slot that you don't find in desktop-pc's (if someone knows how this 'slot' been called, I will greatly appreciate if you told me)
The SMC networkcard was found by the installatation. It has been found everywhere. Wireless etc... Even "wireless Assistant" (you can find it in KDE-menu --> Internet --> Wireless Assistant) found my card. It didn't gaved me an error. But he didn't found any nearby wireless networks, but the laptop is just right nexto the router.
Because I know a few command now, I thought that I could to do this. I didn't need the help of ndiswrapper or so...
Well, let me say... that I wasn't smart enough to solve this problem.
I don't want to make 1000 topics overhere, so I try to do as much as I can on my own.
But now I done something terrible... The pc-name is gone. Hmm, if you don't understand me, let me explain. If I open an terminal, I get this:
jenthe@(none) :~$
Okay, normally it is something like:
jenthe@kubuntu :~$
Or
jenthe@LVGVH :~$
Because this as change, I don't have any sudo-rights anymore. Big problems I guess. :-X
And the worst... I don't know how I did this. And I can't say: "he did it, not me" because I'm the only one that use the laptop (because it's so old, the others use the faster pc's, like the AMD 2800 etc...)
And I'm affraid that I should start an topic asking for help for that SMC networkcard... Stupid me, If I done that in the first place, I didn't had this problem. But soon I've 1000 topics or so on my name.
Thanks for the people who wants to help me.
