Re-installed Ubuntu Linux 6.06 Dapper Drake from the CD that just came in the mail today! This time, it came from France! Last time it was Belgium, and France for the very first time!
Well anyway, I re-installed it due to the issue that under previous installs, I couldn't access the internet, or even have an internet connection. It worked the first and second time I installed Ubuntu, but not the time after that, nor this time. I tried everything from network restarts, to things as desperate as unplugging the computer for 20 minutes and trying again. Nothing worked...
Working with Ubuntu Linux isn't too complicated, its just that the simplest little thing can cause such havoc and mayhem into you. NO ONE can go about using a computer on a regular basis without a connection to the internet. The internet connection is DETECTED and WORKS while in WinXP as well as the Kubuntu LiveCD, and even my old Ubuntu 5.04 LiveCD boot. But not when its actually installed? Its pretty much a load of BS when it works, you're satisfied, and then install it to know that the stupid thing doesn't want to work, even if you try everything in your power... But unfortunately, some of those things need internet access to update repositories and download packages... How can you get the internet running, when what you need to get it running is on the internet?
I'm pretty much ticked off about how Ubuntu isn't working up to par like it did in the first install... At the time when it worked, it was far more superior than WinXP... But now, if the OS can't even connect to the internet, its inferior, just like Honda Civics... And I don't like the fact that Ubuntu is being inferior, as every l33t poweruser knows, Windows is the inferior of the group... For now, I can just wait until someone on UbuntuForums.org replies to my thread, though I hate it when my thread goes off the first page and it isn't acceptable to 'bump', or 'ttt' your thread. Hopefully all this BS gets fixed...
Another thing I'd like to say is that my G35 XMODS finally broke... No fun for me though, what the heck am I to do now? The front right (drivers POV) steering knuckle broke. I can't mount the bottom of it to the bottom suspension arm, the hole where the screw goes in is gone, it cracked. Now it is just a 'C' as opposed to the 'O' where the screw was placed... I can purchase an aluminum one, but I'm not sure where to spend my money. May be on hardware upgrades for my PC, or may be for some other stuff. Though as for now, I have a duty to save up and purchase a garage kit (two if I can) from HobbyFan and build/paint them for my two friends.
Well, that's about it for now, I'll publish another entry when I get that damn network fixed in Ubuntu and do a write-up on different ways on going about fixing it, in case any readers stumble upon that problem as well.
