Now it works, Now it doesnt?
Hi every one
Last night I installed a few programs thru the software portal and then attempted to start up Beryl.
The screen just went blank White. I let it sit there hoping it would do something over night, but no luck.
This morning when I restarted the machine I cannot get Mint on the internet.
I try messing with the settings but nothing,
Now im on my Vista Disk and the net Works 123.
By The Way, This is a wired connection, Im not gonna try and tackle my wireless yet, it cant even find that yet.
Any help is good help
Thnx
Phil

I don't use KDE much, but this should work for KDE as well I think. Open terminal and enter the following code to restart the network connection.
code: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
That's what I was doing when network manager didn't want to start reliably. the hairy_Palms recommended:
"i recommend running this command in a terminal,
sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager
then restart, thers no need for network manager when your wired. then your internet should work fine."
You can always use synaptic to reinstall network-manager when you are ready for wireless fun.
code: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart

You mention two problems all mixed up - do I understand you right that the screen is no longer "blank White"?
That is a Beryl problem - for a solution search for beryl white in the forum, and mark "Search for all terms" and you'll find a bunch of solutions
yea the blaning out is a Beryl problem i need to get the correct NV driver installed, I just kinda put that in there to complete the story on what happened. I left it on all night at that screen and the next morning with a restart i couldnt get online.
thanks for the responce guys ill try that out tonight

From my previous Thread

I was having an issue that I couldnt figure out, my Net wouldnt connect to anything so I could get online.
I was given 2 seperate SUDO commands
Quote:
sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
And...
Quote:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
But They Didnt Change the situation. I just plugged in my Vista drive for about 3 days and then went back to Linux to find out that some how my connection was now available again.
Now Im having the same problem again,. I cannot get online and I tried the commands again, but i dont wanna wait for another few days, I would enjoy making this my standalone OS, Its got all I need and is isnt a blown out SELL-OUT like SuSE.
Any Help is good help
Thnx

this sounds like a crazy hardware or networking problem.
ie there may be some other network service that is causing problems.
i suggest a reboot. there are things that are only run at boot (look in /etc/rcS.d/, the S is for startup not single).
and add "Ubuntu " to the beginning of the first line of /etc/issue.
(this is a bug fix for pre-KDE 3.0r1)
you may also want to restart dbus, restart networking and then restart dbus again. (instead of reboot).

Now where was i going? Oh yes, crazy!
this sounds like a bios/firmware issue.
when you plug in the vista drive the bios should reinitialise, give you a message and may say press F1 to continue.
what you could try is unplug the mint disk, boot, it will find no boot device, then power off put mint disk back in and boot. this may reinitialise the bios.
is there an update to the bios for your system?
it could also be an acpi issue. so disabling it at boot could fix it. not my favorite fix though.
