Perhaps its an issue with the nm-applet on that toolbar on my netbook.
Or its a problem with my eyesight :)
I'll rerun the installer to double check.

Hmmm that's odd, I installed it on my neighbours laptop the other day and
booted the installer and not the full blown desktop and it did load a minimal
toolbar with the wifi icon that I was able to configure the wireless network.

Hi
If it was via ethernet, then it would work, but not via wifi.
I know if I choose to load the full blown live cd, and got onto the desktop, I
could configure the wifi and then run the installer, but when you boot the cd
you get asked if you want to run the installer, or boot to the live cd.
If you're using WIFI you need to connect at the top using the wireless icon
assuming its detected your card. If its ethernet then it "should" have detected
it and tried to obtain a DHCP address. Which method are you using?

Hi,
Could you connect it via Ethernet cable and install anything that you want to
and update/install the wireless drivers (I'm guessing that's how you're
connecting to the Internet)?

Hi,
I have just installed 10.10 on my netbook. During the installation, it told me
that it couldn't connect to the internet, so I couldn't install the optional
3rd party stuff. This was through the gui installer, not full blown live cd ->

We bought two Samsung 2343BW monitors early this year (or late last) for
our business and have been very pleased with them.
They are 23" with a resolution of 2048x1152 and cost about £140 IIRC.
They work great with Ubuntu as that is all we use in the office :-)

You should be able to pick up a good 21 inch screen from any online
retailer. (Personally I've had problems with scan.co.uk in the past when it

Hello,

Hi all,
I'm hoping that someone can check whether a particular OOo extension works
