Wi fi on Dell mini 9 Ubuntu 10.04 UNR

Asked by Andy Scott

The Wi-Fi on my Dell mini 9 / Ubuntu 10.04 UNR dose not work as it did, for some reason I cannot get a good wifi signal when there is a strong signal in places I have had no problem in the past, it used to work fine but recently not so fine, the signal I have indicated is strong and others using the same wifi have no problems. Help please :)

Ok the device has an ip of 192.168.200.48

if you run:

gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

delete ALL the text and add these 2 lines:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Then save the new file, close gedit and all web browsers then relaunch them, do you get web access?

Just reboot, the file is generated by network manager so changes will be lost. If it works we can make the change permanent

Yes, as I said. Network manager generates that file when it recieves DHCP. Your driver seems to not be taking the DNS servers (which is what is defined in that file, we just manually set it). You need to right click network manager -> edit connections then select the IPv4 tab, set the interface to use DHCP for address only then add the 2 DNS addresses in the DNS box, click "apply to all users" then click OK. This will then make the change permanent.

You can use any DNS servers you want. I just use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as they are REALLY easy to remember, they are Google's public DNS servers.

Subject: No mames!

I backed a truck up over my mother when I was about that age and didn't remember squat. I would bet the kid will block it out, hopefully he doesn't remember it or get reminded of it till he's old enough to deal with it.

BTW she didn't die for anyone wondering, and I kind of remember bits and pieces when I think really hard on it now. Basically, she left me in the back of a pickup truck and my little ass climed through the back window and released the emergency break probably thinking I was a star ship commander or something... Didn't even realize anything had happened wrong until she told me about it when I was like 14 years old.

Great post, totally agree and have heard about this before listening to dating guru advice. When you begin a relationship the worst thing you can do is jump into the woman's world and orbit around her trying to please her and do the things she wants to do. Women like strong men that have goals and ambitions and a real understanding of the things they enjoy and like to do. Women want to jump I to your world and let you lead as the man that is classically our role.

Want to know what else is annoying? Payment processing companies. You will never need to take a credit card number, accept a PayPal payment, or deal with wire transfers as an affiliate marketer unless a company is actually paying you commissions.
All payments by customers are handled by the company you’re an affiliate for. Just one more headache you never have to deal with.

Different condom sizes are necessary to ensure a comfortable fit, not too tight so as to cut off circulation, not too loose so as to maintain a protective barrier.

If you have a large dong you can stretch out a normal sized condom to fit but it will be tight, and uncomfortable. A condom that does not fit well is a condom that cannot do its job properly.

That's an interesting theory, but rather shaky, imho. There's no necessary coincidence in the dates as Andraste's actual birth year is unknown. Also, Dumat = Mythal? Eh... I guess I could see that, but there's no evidence for it. As I remember it Riordan was very clear that in order to kill the Archdemon a Warden had to sacrifice himself. I'd think the warden who killed Dumat surviving would be noteworthy, wouldn't you?

<br>2) The Santa Brand Book
"Santa is a Concept, not an idea. It's an Emotion, not a feeling. It's both Yesterday and Today. It's Tomorrow as well." That's how this ingenious brand book from communications consulting firm Quietroom begins. And believe me when I say the rest of it is just as kooky and wonderfully facetious.
Case in point: Take a look below at this "brand house" that details the core components of Old Saint Nick's brand strategy. I ... I can't even.
<br>3) Apple Holiday Commercial</b>
Oh, Apple — how you've done it again. Say what you will about the tech giant, but hot damn, do they know how to churn out one wonderful ad after another.
The streak stays alive with this touching spot that, once again, shows the company's a step ahead of the competition when it comes to showing the usefulness of its products and adding in that human element that draws people in.
(The use of Cat Power's rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" certainly bolsters that personal touch Apple is so well-known for adding to its commercials.)
<br>4) Coke Zero Sweater Generator</b>
Interactive sites are becoming more popular each and every day, and thus, it's no surprise that some well-known brands are jumping on board with the marketing concept. Take Coca-Cola for instance.
With this Sweater Generator, it's clear the soda-maker certainly gets that holiday marketing doesn't need to focus on its product and should be warm, inviting, and personable.
<br>5) Netflix "Fireplace for Your Home" Trailer
Think of where Netflix was just a couple years ago, when it announced its ill-fated plans for a second service called Qwikster (which led to substantial backlash and some poor PR). Today, though, it's a whole different story.
In addition to awesome original programming (if you're not watching House of Cards, you should be), it's nailing every aspect of its marketing. Want proof? Look no further than the fake trailer below.<br>
<br>6) Topshop Pinterest Contest
Conducting a social media contest is a premier way to draw visitors to your accounts on Facebook and Pinterest. One company that seems to have hit the mark with its own contest is the clothing retailer Topshop.
With a contest like the one the company created around its #DearTopshop hashtag, in which users can win various prizes by pinning Topshop items to their boards, brands can secure not only hefty amounts of traffic to their social sites, but also garner loyal followers and even customers.<br>
<br>7) John Lewis Christmas Advertisement
Another sentimental promo in the vein of Apple's aforementioned ad comes from John Lewis and harkens back to the days of the old-school, animated Christmas specials (A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Velveteen Rabbit, etc.).
The retailer certainly worked some magic with this spot, which has generated some considerable (and warranted) buzz. And once again, here's another promo using music to perfection — this time, it's Lily Allen with a lighter version of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know." Well done, John Lewis marketers. Well done.<br>
<br>8) Uncommon Goods
Though not as "sexy" as minute-long commercials, interactive sites, or social contests, good-ol' email marketing is still a more-than-viable option for marketers around the holidays. Uncommon Goods understood this, as evidenced by this appealing email below (which actually displays as an animated GIF in your inbox).
It's not only clear and concise in its promotional copy, but the brand also effectively relays the benefits of shopping with the company with its "urgency" angle: 'We offer quick shipping, just in time for the 25th.' Plus, the animated GIF shows you when you can place your order to receive your gifts in time for Christmas.
