As a former Lubuntu 10.04 user with an USB modem i might be able to help you. First of all, follow this http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=92 for connect your modem (thanks PhillW!!). After that, your laptop will be connected even if the network icon says otherwise... :/ Now to get a clean connection: 1 - install modem-manager 2 - install usb-modeswitch & usb-modeswitch-data 3 - go to the network icon, and create a new connection there for your modem (even if it doesn't appear, but Lubuntu will use any modem for that connection later). Choose your country, provider and all of that. In the last screen, be sure to set the connection able to every user and that it connects automatically. 4 - restart your machine with your modem plugged in. Voila!! Normally, it starts connected and your network icon show you that. This workaround worked for me in at least 5 machines with 3 different USB modems (though with the newest one it was a little difficult to connect, but if your modem is not that new, you should not have problems :) To avoid all of this, i recommend you to use Lubuntu 11.10 or 11.04 since the packets that you must install come installed by default and now the USB modems works prefectly :) Hope it helps! -- jpxsat -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Lubuntu, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522031 Title: installer crashed lubuntu Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: crash ---> http://w2t.us/46 On: lubuntu-lucid-alpha2 On: Asus P3 CuV4X Mainboard 350 MB Memory 20 GB Maxtor HDD Beta1 Beta2 I think this bug is simular to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/49038 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/522031/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
