To keep a long story short, I was trying to use Wireshark on Ubuntu 12.04. (Keeping the story short, I won't go into why I wanted to use it.) When I started it up it said "No interface can be used ... See Capture Help below for details." When I clicked on "How to Capture" Chromium started up and opened to the Wireshark wiki page. I tried to follow a link, but got a lot of disk activity, very slow response to mouse movement, and no response to a mouse click on the close button. I tried to open a terminal window and shut down Chromium, but the machine would not respond to a <ctrl><alt>T. Nothing I tried would stop whatever was going on, so I manually powered down the machine.
When I started it back up most everything was normal. What doesn't work is connecting to my home network. Thunderbird and Firefox work fine so I know I can talk to the outside world. I can ssh into another Linux machine on the network. But I can't see the network with Nautilus. When I click on "Places > Network" I get a Nautilus window that shows the "Windows Network" icon. Normally I would see icons for at least two other machines. When I double click on the Windows Network icon I get a pop-up that says, Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server I tried restarting smbd, with no results. I tried restarting the machine with no improvement, either. Where should I be looking next? Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
