[Tfug] How about this for weird wireless.

[Charles R. Kiss]

Firstly, the wireless services, knetworkmanager, from kubuntu i386 on ThinkPad T61 is running very well except for two things. One, I have to let the desktop fully load after a boot -and wait for the kde-wallet window to appear, to put in a password etc. If instead I start up Firefox beforehand, it will mess everything up (somehow) and I will have to reboot and do it the only way it works, waiting for the kde-wallet.  Two, the knetworkmanager applet doesn't work, nor from the menu.  I have to go to "Settings">etc. Other than that it works great.

The Really Weird for me is this: after doing some network cable sharing between my printer and the girlfriend's ThinkPad (during the period when the wireless wasn't working), the printer stopped printing.  No surprise, no problem. I rebooted the router, and the printer, (and the THinkPad is ON, and wireless ON, this whole time -maybe), and from my Debian desktop, I download the NEW hplip for my desktop (because I'm having problems getting the printer online, so I think to switch to a newer version of hplip while I'm doing this), I "add" the "new" network printer, run some commands, like xhost +, hplip.run, etc. and having some problems, etc.  This is a wired network printer. I'm adding ip addresses in cups, checking the DHCP client list on my router, noticing the ThinkPad hostname is gone, I'm trying to get the "foomatic-rip-hplip" to be found, etc.  having a little trouble... etc.  Finally, I get the printer to work, print a test page. Great!

Here's the really weird: I get back to the ThinkPad, boot it or reboot it, can't remember, and the root=UUID=xxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx can't be found!! So I get "dropped" into a shell.

Well, I boot up the Vista to check hardware, get the wireless working, new hostname on the DHCP client list, but still the same Alert! booting up the kubuntu.

Now what???
