Ubuntu networking help please

[benscoobert]

To boost my PPD I decided to install Ubuntu on a VM.
It installed fine and auto updated over 200 updates.
Since the auto update the network has stopped working, it worked perfectly b4 the update.
Now the icon at top right for network says "no network connection" when i put the pointer over it.

Any ideas?

Nuke it and don't install updates :)

That broke it for me too the first time.

[benscoobert]

just leave it without updates altogether? or just network related ones?

[thideras]

just leave it without updates altogether? or just network related ones?No updates ;)

Basically:

Install
"sudo apt-get ia32-libs"
Download f@h
Config f@h
Let it runIf I did updates on mine, it broke it completely (couldn't even boot).

200 updates sounds like 6.06.

Which one did you DL?

Which one did you DL?To add onto that:

Download the 7.10 SERVER edition. It uses less resources, much less. Also, please note, no gui if you get that version, it is pure command line. I would be happy to walk you through it if you want, it is well worth it.

fallen at 1st hurdle, selected install unbuntu, "Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution"Without 64bit or virtualization, I think we are dead in the water >.>

[benscoobert]

shame, wonder if they added it on a later bios revision, u reckon?

[thideras]

shame, wonder if they added it on a later bios revision, u reckon?What hardware are we talking about?

[benscoobert]

asus p5k, the middle rig in my sig

[benscoobert]

nothin gin the notes

[thideras]

asus p5k, the middle rig in my sigLooks like the chip does do 64bit, but not virtualization. Did you check everywhere in the BIOS...mine is in the CPU options (or something similar to that).

[benscoobert]

thats where it was on my p5ke but theres a few missing options on this board

how does 2x32bit ubuntu compare with windoze smp?

how does 2x32bit ubuntu compare with windoze smp?32bit will not be able to run the SMP client, 64bit only. :beer:

[benscoobert]

yeah i know, but will 2x32bit ubuntu clients make more than 1xwinsmp?

[thideras]

yeah i know, but will 2x32bit ubuntu clients make more than 1xwinsmp?Nope, SMP outdoes the single clients by a bit ;)

[benscoobert]
