Hello:
Yesterday I downloaded and installed
nautilus-dropbox_0.5.0-1_i386_ubuntu_8.10.deb
using the nautilus Package Installer on an Intrepid laptop. I am not
certain but I think some how it bonked the wireless. I would like to
uninstall it to see if it is causing the problem. I did not change the
repositories but simply downloaded and installed. I searched the mail list
archive and the forums and it appears that
sudo apt-get remove --purge PROGRAM
is the correct method for removing the program.
So, Am I correct in using
sudo apt-get remove --purge nautilus-dropbox_0.5.0-1_i386_ubuntu_8.10.deb
to remove it and see if this is the cause of my wireless problem?
I am just using my version of a systematic approach and the wireless worked
before the dropbox install. It is the only real change I have made to the
system before it stopped working.
thanks-
tab
