Burnt CDs of Debian, Fedora and Mint, time to do a bit of exploring in my week off school methinks.
[QUOTE=Chris220;32886881]Thank you!
I'll try it later on today when I get back on the netbook, is it trivial to use?[/QUOTE]
Add it to your daemons, run wicd-curses to set up your access point and you're set.
Does anyone know of a good device manager for Ubuntu 11.10? Seeing as hal got removed, the standard gnome-device-manager got removed too. Now I tried hardinfo, but it doesn't really list any temperatures, besides the core0 temperature. Even though I ran it as root.
Edit: Tried lshw, still the same.

Excuse my ignorance; how would I add it to my daemons?

You just add wicd to your daemons.
Where to do that and how, depends on which distro you're using and what init systems you're using.
Generally though, edit the /etc/rc.conf file. The last line should be the daemons list.
Gonna have another bash at Arch, hopefully I can figure out how to get my touchpad mouse to scroll which is what foiled me last time.

Try installing the synaptics drivers. That will probably work.

Ha.
i installed ubuntu 11.10 on my netbook because windows blows, but the only problem is that it freezes at the login screen back from hibernation and suspension. i press a button and my entire system becomes unresponsive. its perfectly usable from a cold startup but i'm not going to use a broken OS. i can't find the problem on google but it's pretty vage and people have more common but similar problems
any ideas
What is your netbook? Could be something crazy with ACPI.
MSI Wind U100
It also freezes when I try to switch user from the suspend/hibernate password screen.
How can I get rid of that login screen? It's insecure yeah but I don't really care
Installing Debian on an embedded system over serial with a shitty USB-Serial adapter is fun

I don't know if it is the same problem, but I locked my screen yesterday(because I was going out) and when I returned and entered my password, I got a black screen with an blinking dash. Also using Oneiric Ocelot, though on a desktop.
Got everything Arch-y all installed fine and put gnome on there, but when I load up gdm and try to log in it just freezes on the blue background forever. I'm starting in run level 5 and it's at the end of my daemon list, what's happening?
Nevermind, got rid of Gnome and tried KDE and it works fine. Arch is successful, woo
Also how d'you do that thing they do in the post your linux desktop thread where it puts all the information about the pc in the terminal with that ascii type distro logo?
Noticed somebody in my dorm was running a wifi network with WEP.
The Essid was "I DID YO GIRL 2X", so it was just begging to be cracked.
I failed at it. :c
Aircrack said it found the key, but I couldn't connect.
Whatever.

If you have any netbook or laptop, it shouldn't be too hard.
What I did:
* Install BackTrack 5 RC1 on USB with Unetbootin
* Boot USB on netbook/laptop
* ????
* PROFIT!!!
There really aren't any more steps than that. There's several ways to do it, and there's waaaay more tools than you need available on BackTrack :D
So, I was changing my user account to not use a password, rebooted, and got prompted with a black screen on login and then the login screen again. I can login as a guest, but cannot do anything in there.
Currently running Ubuntu 11.04 via the LiveCD, found out my home folder is owned by root. How comes?
Also my user folder contains 2 files: Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop and README.txt
Now seriously, what the hell is going on.
I just hope I can fix it somehow, I do not want to install it once again.
Edit: Turned out it's ecryptfs. Still didn't find a way to login though.

It's kind of overwhelming really. Makes it hard to find what you need at that exact moment without having gone through it all earlier.

Not really. When I used the BackTrack 5 GNOME part, I hadn't used ANYTHING like it before. Nothing with any cracking tools or anything, and I didn't know much about it.
But the menu's really guide you well, and most of the programs tell you if you need to run something else first.
Why do I run from one problem into another while using Ubuntu? Then again I couldn't find a solution to my problem on Google, seems like I gotta wait until someone responds at AskUbuntu.

That usually means that the AP is too far away, or they're using mac filtering.
Okay, apparently when I removed the password from my user account, I forgot I still had encrypted my home folder with another password too. Now too bad I didn't save that passphrase, so basically I can reinstall.
Cut to the chase:
I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 4650 AGP card, whenever I try to install the proprietary drivers, when I reboot I get "Out of Range" on my monitor. I can disable them, thankfully, but it's REALLY annoying because the best game I can go on is CS:1.6
My OS is Linux Mint 11, primarily using LXDE (I installed off a disk that I burned so my laptop could live again, I don't really need to be on LXDE, but my computer is nippy and I like it), BUT I am able to switch to KDE or GNOME if necessary
Is there anyway I can get drivers for my PC, or will I have to swap graphics card?
I've never been a big fan of roguelikes, but when I was on vacation stuck with my netbook, I loaded up Stone Soup and enjoyed playing the tutorials.
From my experience, GUIs for roguelikes are worse than the actual game, but I'm really impressed by the GUI I got when installing it on my main machine. Here's an example:

From my experience so far, you can play it using the buttons rather than keybinds, so it's good for transitioning.
Got rid of KDE and put Xfce on instead, definitely better in my opinion.
[QUOTE=Andaeeee;32973250]Got rid of KDE and put Xfce on instead, definitely better in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
I kind of jumped to Xfce because it has a proper task bar. (GNOME 2 has the ability to put icons on the task bar, but you have to drag them around and shit, what?)
I really couldn't be happier, considering how much I don't want to spend time fighting Gnome 3 and its 'why would you configure your desktop?' model.
