Re: [ubuntu-uk] Broadband connection with Eclipse

Hi Robin, Did 'webmaster' tell you why it will not work with Ubuntu? Do you know what the make and model of the 'black box' is? Does this 'black box' have a network cable port (RJ-45) (pic: http://www.offspringtech.com/images/big/COUPL-RJ45.jpg). It's bigger than a normal telephone connection.

[ubuntu-uk] Broadband connection with Eclipse

Having had Orange take five weeks (and dozens of phone calls) to replace their white box after an ordinary lightning strike, I have moved to Eclipse. Their black box works ok with my mac mini but my webmaster tells me that it won't work with Ubuntu on my Compaq laptop (which worked ok with Orange)

i'm not sure (I don't use KDE), but an easy way to check is to create one and then open a terminal and run: ls -l ~/Desktop A symlink will show up as a oddly-coloured filename with a -> symbol showing the original file it points to. You create a symlink in the terminal with: ln -s original link
