Hello,
First of all, I would like to say I'm eager to
beome a member of the linux+orca community, and advance my computer skills even
farther.
By doing so, I have a couple of questions.
I'm running Ubuntu V 8.04 on an HP Pavilion DV 5000 series laptop. I'm a
college student who loves to do nothing more than browse the internet in
class! I know I know, bad kid. Anyhow, More seriously, my wireless
card doesn't work. I entered the shell and typed lspci, and was able to
tell I've got a brodcom card, so it's being recognised. I don't, however,
know how to get that darn card to reach out and say welcome to the loving
embracing world of the world wide web, and you don't even have a cord to do
it!
Second question is, I downloaded skype, and it's on
my desktop (Wired connection). I also went to the sisadmin site, and did
the tasks I had to to get my system rights...I think I did them right
anyway. But when I try to install skype after a reboot, I allowed
administrative access, and I still get the loving, and frustrating, lack of no
speach. Is there an explination, or what I did wrong?
Thanks,
Tj
