Hi I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I have not been able to connect to the internet through a cable from the satellite. So I found the following advice:
start the terminal and type gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces File will opened in gedit. It will be empty or should contain auto lo iface lo inet loopback In gedit add following lines and save it and close auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp and restart the network manager It works fine with my case
So I followed it and now ubuntu says "waiting for network configuration", followed by "Booting system without full network configuration". It takes a few minutes to start the computer now. It also got rid of the little connection icon that normally lets me know if networks are in range or if a wire is plugged in. My question is how do I reverse this? And is there a way to be able to connect to the internet through the wire. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I am completely new to this and it was my first attempt at using the terminal and it back fired ;)
Thank you so much, Sandra
