Why not use wget? 
e.g. wget http://www.icon.co.za/~psheer/rute.pdf.bz2;

or

wget http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.tar.bz2;

didn't find some one.

Thanks for sharing the links, I have one question coming into my mind,
the kbibtex is good, but install needs some KDE support, seems a bit heavy,
I wonder:
are there some gnome-bibtex or xfce4-bibtex?

wireless is disabled

2012-02-23 Thread lina
Hi,

the network manage showed me:

Wired network
device not managed
Wireless network
wireless is disabled

I reboot and also tried /etc/initi.d/network-manage restart not work

It used to work, but this afternoon I guess I disabled the wireless
when chose to use cable,
but now stuck how to get it back.

do i need re-install the network-manage

or which commands I should use.

some attempted click on the interface not work.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Pressing the key on the keyboard to restore it? Haha... I don't know.  
Thanks.

It should be possible to change the line State: unavailable to State:

  nmcli nm wifi on

If this does not work then it might be necessary to install the package
rfkill and use

  rfkill list

to check if an RF killswitch has inadvertently been activated. Post any
output or error messages that you may get from these commands.

Thanks, this works.

How can I know enough commands to use.
are there some hand-book (terse ones) for it? so I may recite some
(hope not sounds so silly, might a bit though).

In the past (maybe till future), one channel is learning form
people/list, another channel is in the process of google-searching the
problem.
Sometimes read man pages, so much information and I just got lost so soon.


 If this does not work then it might be necessary to install the package
 rfkill and use

  rfkill list

Just installed.

Thanks with best regards,
