Hello everyone 
I am new to the linux community, and am trying to get started. I recently installed the latest Kubuntu Hardy Alpha 6 Release, on an IBM Thinkpad T42, specs available here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T42
(Its the lower end model, with a 1.7 ghz dothan processor.) Most everything installs fine. However right away, I cannot connect to my wireless network. It gets stuck on "Activation stage: Configuring device". However a wired lan connection works fine. Also, when I open my network settings, it says "The shared library was not found. Library not found."
So when I open Adept Manager, I click fetch updates, then full upgrade, then apply changes. It looks like it updates fine, however it has been stuck on "configuring new version of samba-common" for about an hour now.
Now last time i did this, i just shut down my laptop, and rebooted. It look liked some of the update applied, however due to the premature shutdown while updating, naturally many things were broken. So I whipped my hard drive, and reinstalled. I upgraded again, and its stuck in the same spot.
I am now wondering what I should do? Please keep in mind I'm a n00b. Any help would be appreciated though, thanks! Oh by the by, I would like to stick with KDE 4 if at all possible!
EDIT: Sorry I just realized this is in the wrong place. Mods feel free to delete this.
