Hi, you can easily connect to the internet from console using wvdial. just run `sudo wvdialconf`, then use vi or nano to make adjustment to /etc/wvdial.conf . then connect to the internet by `sudo wvdial &` , mind the last & sign, it'll make wvdial run in background and will free the console so that you can run further commands. Then run `sudo apt-get upgrade` and etc...
If wvdial is not installed, you can download the files then place them in pendrive or any hdd partition, then, mount the drive by running, `sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt` then navigate, `cd /mnt` then install, `sudo dpkg -i ./*` You can also use cnetworkmanager instead of wvdial, but i never used that for GP modem. NB: strings inside the tilds (`) are commands :) 2012/3/24 Kabbo Sarker <[email protected]>: > Day before yesterday, I was updating the packages and before the > update counld finish my data limit of internet package exceed! :S So > now I can not load gnome, it says 'gnome session failed' or something > like that.
