Hi, I'm a linux noobie with a new aspire 110 8gb ssd, 512 ram. The first thing I did was run live update.... & had the problem of network manager refusing to start like several other people.... I found this.... Then I run " sudo gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/networking " to clear all the root network connections. Then I run " gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/networking " to clear all the user network connections. After doing this, I don't have ANY connection I have been connected previously (be aware). Finally I reboot and then the network icon appears again but you need to reconfigure the network again (as I said before, I removed all connections). which worked in that as long as I reboot immediately after 1st boot I get the network icon & all is well. Anyway, I love this little machine & I have to say I like Linux so far even if the use of the TERMINAL is a bit daunting! I do have one small problem though.... sometimes an application like firefox freezes & I have no idea how to shut it down without shutting the whole machine down. With my XP laptop I'm obviously very used to this sort of thing happening & I just Ctrl, Alt, Delete then kill the offending process. Is there a simple way to do a similar operation in Linux please? I apologise if this is a stupid question or has been answered a million times before. thanks :ugeek:
Ah just discovered that Ctrl,Alt,Delete does the same as in XP. Doh! However, when I get the freezing Ctrl,Alt,Delete doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else found this prob?
