Which wireless card do you have? <div>I tried 12.04(lts, x86 version) on 3 computers so far ( 1 from 2005-2006) and everything worked without any unnecessary configurations. are you using a cd to install 12.04 from? I know the image is 701mb which technically doesnt fit on a cd but imgburn seemed happy to burn it in my case. I had lots of problems with that cd and eventually put 12.04 on a usb stick-flawless installation. If you used a cd I'd recommend a live usb stick-much quicker in any case. <div class="gmail_quote">On 1 May 2012 10:20, paul sutton <<a href="mailto:zleap@zleap.net" target="_blank">zleap@zleap.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div class="im">On 01/05/12 02:20, Roy Jamison wrote: > > I think what we're trying to say is maybe it's time to upgrade ;) > > On May 1, 2012 12:13 AM, "Alan Pope" <<a href="mailto:alan.pope@canonical.com">alan.pope@canonical.com</a> </div><div class="im"><mailto:<a href="mailto:alan.pope@canonical.com">alan.pope@canonical.com</a>>> wrote: > > On 30/04/12 11:20, paul sutton wrote: > > on the partition page i choose set up and tried to partition as > > follows > > > / 50mb > > That's not big enough. > > > /home 100mb > > Neither is that.

Anyway 12.04 is up and running, i need to get wireless working, so not sure why when I am sure it worked out of the box with 11.10, and below. Separate home, i was under the impression this made life easier and was the right way to do things (been using linux for years), if I want to wipe / later on and install something else, I can do, and it will leave /home intact and not wipe the data from it, Paul > > -- > <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <mailto:<a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> > <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> > <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> > > > -- -- <a href="http://www.zleap.net" target="_blank">http://www.zleap.net</a> <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu.com</a> skype : psutton111 <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paul-sutton/36/595/911" target="_blank">http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paul-sutton/36/595/911</a> <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> </div>
