[ OK ] * Starting NetworkManager... And that is all that happens. No GUI. The reason I need the GUI is to be able to find wireless networks when I am away from home, select one, and connect to it. It is far faster to do so from the GUI (assuming I can get it to work) than from the command line. Furthermore, I am soon going to upgrade to Jaunty, and in Jaunty the GUI works much better. I know that from trying the live CD of the release candidate. But at the moment I am not sure that the GUI package is even installed. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
