I'm assuming that means it never connects to that. How do I change that? Also, being new, I don't know how to spin the cube to change OS'. I've never used Ubuntu before, just got it on a friend's reference, so I might be misguided. All I know is I could get in trouble for screwing up the new computer if I don't figure it out. Help?
sounds like your wireless is all setup
Just left click the network icon and select the wireless network you want to connect to
You can also instruct the network manager to automatically connect to your prefered wireless network by right clicking the network icon, selecting "edit connections"
in the preferences for your prefered wireless network, check the "connect automatically" box
As for the cube, install compizconfig-settings-manager
either in Synaptic, or by typing
Code:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
In the settings manager, just enable the cube and cube rotation
