Can you get to the login page on Ubuntu?

that is my problem. nothing will load from the web browser unless it is on my hard drive. this is a strange one.

Village life is boring as a boring thing so give her get a couple of days novelty value then take her off to someone nice.

right, because anyone that would subject their mother to the village lifestyle is not nice at all.

So I finally got my internet going perfectly in ubuntu by switching my wireless adapter and a week later my apartment decided to change the connection from just accepting a mac address from the adapter to now requiring the fashionable login with password through the web browser.

in windows this has no problem and the internet works flawlessly, but in ubuntu i can't do anything through port 80 (synaptic and updates all use port 80 as well). to confuse me even further i can use other ports with other programs such as pigeon, skype, thunderbird (all of which work fine). using 3 separate browsers in ubuntu all configured the same way as i have in windows (no proxy or auto detect proxy) however nothing will connect to the web. i can't figure out what the cause would be.

does anyone know if i can redirect my web browser through another port to connect to the web without inputting a proxy?

There's a Par 3 Course on Srinakarin Road - just past Seacon Square.

I've never played there - just see the sign every time I drive past Seacon.

good find. i just moved to this area of town and was hoping to find a course that i could spend an afternoon at. i don't have any golf partners so if anyone is up for a round then PM me.

p.s. I'm not very good but I love the game. it is always a humbling experience.

i bought an edimax usb adapter and it works beautifully. i should have done that first. oh well, sometimes troubleshooting is the best way to learn something new.

Maybe post the steps and specs of your new adapter for other people new to *buntu to learn from.

ps: are you going to change the avatar now?

good idea. it is an edimax EW-7318USg. http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.ph...1&pl2_id=44

I pluged it in and it worked right away without having to install any drivers. it has excellent linux support.

ps: i'll get around to the avatar eventually. i need to find a suitable replacement.

i bought an edimax usb adapter and it works beautifully. i should have done that first. oh well, sometimes troubleshooting is the best way to learn something new.

Well I successfully installed the drivers through ndisgtk and the light on the adapter now comes on except the network isn't even found now. Ndisgtk gives an error when I go to configure the network using my driver "Could not find a network configuration tool".

I think I will pick up another wifi adapter this weekend and just be done with this problem. (on a plus side i am beginning to learn terminal commands and am getting a general feel for linux. the main hassle is going back and fourth between XP so that I can use internet to get more information and download various .deb files.)

if anyone has any suggestions on a usb wireless adapter that will work beautifully in ubuntu 8.10 please let me know.

Have you tried to run dhcpcd on whatever interface name the adapter has been assigned?

slackula, you'll have to forgive me for my ignorance here. i am at a loss on dhcpcd. remember, i just installed ubuntu last night.

edit: oh yeah. i'll change my avatar when i am able to do it through a linux OS. it will be my way of saying to you that i figured this mess out.

i have a headache now. i've tried unsuccessfully to get the ndiswrapper going. i can install it but i can't use it. i have my windows drivers for the usb wireless adapter but i can't manage to do anything with them. i'm retarted in the linux terminal.

in windows the usb wireless adapter has lights, but in ubuntu there are no lights however my network is recognized through wlan0 (which i'm assuming is the default connection) but i can not actually see the computers on the network nor can i connect to the internet.

anyone who knows how to resolve this problem and lives in bangkok i will buy you beers upon remedying this problem. i am new to linux but not new to hardware and drivers. i'm just an ancient techie who has been out of the game for a bit and is trying to jump back in.

now can connect to the network but not to the internet. very strange.

i'm finding some places that claim to have a driver. i'll let you know how it goes.

this site shows that linux drivers are not avaliable. Does anyone have a recommendation for an 11g wireless adapter, preferably USB that will be supported by ubuntu?

edit: forgot to give the link http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?ac...mp;model_id=667

Ubuntu installed like a dream. The dual boot works perfectly. My main problem now is my USB wireless network adapter is not recognized. I have a Level1wnc-0305usb. It won't even light up in Ubuntu. Is there any way around this or will I need an adapter that is supported by linux? A google search on the problem shows that others have a similar problem, but I have found no answers. Ubuntu will be pointless unless I can connect to the net.

Any ideas?

you people arent serious about your kids becoming starlets right?

i didn't read any posts about people wanting their kids to be starlets. i have read posts from proud parents (myself included) who are wanting to share their photos and experiences with others who have mixed children as well.

MikeSR, all your posts are meant to provoke and I have yet to read anything constructive from you. When you grow up one day and have children of your own then perhaps you will also be able to share the overwhelming joy that many here have, and perhaps then your own children will be starlets in your own eyes.

good luck to you on the road to adulthood.

edit: here is a recent photo of my own little starlet.

another reason, that i'm sure many in this forum can understand is curiosity. i use to be a techie about 7 years ago, however time has sinced passed me by in the world of technology. i think if i just screw around with ubuntu for a while then the nuts and bults will start coming back to me.

If you're dead set on trying Noobuntu, give Kubuntu a go. Gnome is quite frustrating IMHO, and if you're planning on connecting to the internet via GPRS/EDGE you'll commit seppuku trying to get it runing using the gnome-ppp dialer.

Buy a new hdd for your Linux drive so you don't hose your Windows crap.

i'm installing it on a second hard drive for that very reason. i'm not using gprs, but i do have a wireless connection to my network. i'm hoping that it won't be a problem. i guess i'll see how it goes. it is still downloading right now. i get horrible connection during this time at night.

a) Change your avatar to something more mature, the lamp is stupid and old

i don't recall asking you about my avatar. i actually was thinking about changing it, but now i think i will keep it a little longer because you enjoy it so much.

Just out of interest- what were the things he told you which convinced you to try it?

he said it was more user friendly than other linux platforms. he also said that it has much better driver support.

I am installing now onto a second hard drive. my bios supports dual booting so I won't need to have a dual boot software. I am going to keep windows as my main operating system because my wife also uses the computer and she is just now getting the hang of windows. a sudden jump to straight linux would really confuse her.

he praised linux for it's security against spyware and virus's which I think is the main reason why I am going to try it out for myself. he also had a lot to say for its customization. i'm running a dual core 2.66Ghz with a gig of ram. XP is slow on my system. I'm also hoping that benchmarks will improve with the operating system.

I've heard some wonderful things about ubuntu from a friend of mine and thought I'd give it a chance. I may be here often in the next few days if i come across some bumps.

In the mean time does anyone have any suggestions for a first time user?

that is a wealth of information. thank you for this. i may be in contact with you in the future.

I am thinking of starting a eucalyptus plantation in Isaan and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with doing so. The financial numbers sound pretty good as long as you can wait 5-10 years before you see a return on your investment.

I also came across this article on the net "Diseases of Eucalyptus in Thailand and Options for Reducing their Impact" (http://www.dnp.go.th/foremic/fmo/fmoproject/IUFROnair.pdf) that has spooked me a little bit and was wondering if someone is experiencing any problems with fungus. It will be another 6 months before we begin planting so we have some time to fully research this operation.

I do find it amusing that many come to Thailand and go through two stages; 1st stage: people think that the Thais have got everything right and that people in the West have got it wrong. 2nd stage: people in Thailand haven't got a clue unlike people in the West who have it right about everything. It is important to realize that this type of thinking is just barmy. If you raise your child and disrespect half of who they are then it is bound to backfire. If your child is half-Thai you must respect that part of them and try to also promote the culture that you bring to the table equally - in my opinion.

yeah, who knows. maybe rubbing dead lizard tails on my son is right. but personally i think they don't have a clue.

I don't really like the medicinal voodoo magic to cure my son of his normal child ailments. I prefer to take him to a medical doctor (preferably western educated) who works in a hospital when something is wrong.

don't invest in anything that you don't understand.
