Re: internet troubles

No, but it has to be plugged in when you run the restart command. Open a terminal and run

ifconfig

again and post the results.

Re: internet troubles

OK, I've seen this before. The avahi-daemon is causing problems and it needs to be disabled. You did not say what version of Kubuntu and KDE you are running, can you provide that information.

Re: internet troubles

Before doing anything, reboot your computer and see what happens.

Re: internet troubles

I know that there was a bug with avahi, but I thought that had been taken care of. It seems like it was a while back. The other problem is, that since i don't run KDE 4, I'm mot sure how to tell you to disable that daemon. If it were me, I would just uninstall it, reboot and see what happens. You can uninstall it by issuing:

sudo apt-get remove avahi-daemon

in a terminal. You can always reinstall it again, if we ever get your internet working. Actually, I think we can reinstall it from the disk.

Hopefully someone else will jump in here with ideas about this.

Re: internet troubles

i did that and rebooted but still dosent work

Re: internet troubles

I almost never recommend this, but since this is a new install I am going to say to completely reinstall the whole system, and when you do, make sure your wired connection is connected the whole time. I hope that will get you going.

Re: internet troubles

Re: internet troubles

OK, that's great, you have a wired connection. Now someone else will have to come in to help with the wireless, becuase i am not up to speed on that. but at least nwo you have your wired connection so you will be able to download any programs or drivers you may need.
