it started like this...
at first, it's just one of those usual update/upgrade...
but i was playing with .wine stuff and things... and they weren't working... so, i was doing some autoclean...
then, suddenly, all gone,
i could login to the desktop, but there's no launcher bar and so on, ie. i can't launch a thing...,
then, the rightclick didn't give me much choice either...
therefore, it started the 48hr downtime,
i gotta move my nearly 450G data somewhere,
luckily i bought a new 1T HDD, else... (down the drain!)
and of course, it took some time,
cos, i gotta move the files, and also, gotta find out what to move, not to say that, i'm so familiar with linux, right???
so, in between, there're quite a bit of research to be done,
while on my windows PC, i gotta look for new linuxmint, or new ubuntu...
then, I installed linuxmint 16, ooi?? network doesn't work, it wasn't detecting my wifi...
i
panicked a little bit... seriously i don't quite like to "solve"
problem, especially my brain's trained to be a mother/housewife type of
thinking, rather than err... looking a script and troubleshooting...
anyway,
after checking here and there, and with my brother...
and after doing a few installation of either linuxmint 15, 16, 14, and ubuntu 13.10...
all failed...
my brother told me, it's driver's problem, but then, why do i see my wireless detecting other networks except my own one??
however, it IS the wireless card's driver's problem... ie. my broadcom 4313, on my compaq notebook... hm!
i finally found it on the linuxmint forum,
and...
mm... cos, i somehow need a connection, so, i used my handphone as the
hotspot, download the patch from the linuxmint onboard software centre,
everything solved, everything done...
now, it's still in the midst of restoration, mind you!
