no problem at all on that :) TBABill, the issue is with wifi usb - not ethernet connection. I have another computer with the router ... just trying to connect to it with the fluxbox isadora - as stated before, when loading Gnome Isadora, the usb wifi is working fine on this same machine. lspci 00:00...

on both i get:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.

shows 'no' on both soft and hard.
ethernet still showing both 'cp' and 'too' kernels tho.

yes itis 8139too... ok changed from 8139too to 8139cp - rebooted and still behaves same way ... can always see that spinning wheel @ the bottom like it's trying to connect ... then i get a message "disconnected you are now offline" Just in case something is going on with the usb wifi, i re...

ok, 8139too added to etc/modules. etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: # This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by # alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the # device instead. # evbug is a debug tool that should be loaded explicitly blacklist evbug # the...

... blacklist''8139cp' - didn't work - still not connecting (also don't see other wifi connections visible as usual)

it wasn't working either in cd live mode ... but i went ahead and did a full intall anyway. CD live in Gnome does work tho

Installed Mint Fluxbox 9 on a computer I had with Mint Gnome before. With regular Mint the wifi was just there and was no issue to get it configured and running. However, with Fluxbox Mint, wireless connections are unhighlighted. I tried setting up my ssid and password and it just won't connect. The...

For virus prevention issues as you are describing above, one method i've used for running portables thru wine is by going to any one of the many free online scanning sites ... i usually drop the portable on the desktop first then direct the 'browse' feature at the site to where the application resid...

thanks for spotting it ElectricRider

i don't have nautilus file browser ... the way i do it is thru control center 'hardware', 'mouse', 'accessibility'

Ditto on that ! - i don't use anything else but Linux Mint - However the end product for me is loaded with appications that i will never use - a package install option from the begining would be a fantastic added feature since i have noticed when i uninstall packages thru synaptic, remnants of these...

worked !

Thanks mads !

yes, i see it in yours but unfortunately i don't have it in my startup ... at some point was probably there 'cause i used to hear a brief musical audio intro sound and now i don't ... The closest i find is this ... but i'm not sure the login sound is same as the musical audio i used to hear ... http...

Menu - Startup Applications - check GNOME Login Sound - click Close

Hi,
there is nothing listed as Gnome Login Sound in the startup - have a gnome keyring, a gnome remote desktop and a mint welcome screen checkboxes.

i noticed recently i don't hear the familiar musical mint intro after system boots - sound preferences are: sound theme 'Linux Mint - default from theme' - don't know where else to look for a control.

ok, can't believe it - but i have it working now ! :shock: too bad i didn't write all the trials and errors down. i ended up using an xp install in a virtualbox to configure the router on doze ...then after some resetting and fiddling with a connection that was not working, it finally came to life. ...

Mint Isadora, 32bit - Gnome. For now I am just rying to initially install the Linksys with the connection to the DSL on the main computer. When I connect the Linksys, it tries to establish aconnection again and fails. rigth click: enable networks ... enable notifications. active network connection: ...

Mint has nothing to do with your router. Any wireless enabled device can connect to a wireless network as long as it supports the encryption method and you know the password. Yes, this I am aware of.

Been trying to get my WRT54GL router to work with mint. Was using it with Windows with no issues a while back - install cd ... plop - it's on. However, now been using Mint for some time with autoeth0 for my dsl connection. How the heck do I get this thing to work with mint now that i need wireless a...
