Hi, please forgive me if I've added this post in the incorrect place.

I have browsed your numerous thread on this subject but cannot find an answer that works for me so I'm asking for some help.

I have heard so much about xbmc and had an old laptop lying around. I installed ubuntu on to it using a disc with gotham 13.0 on it.
The issue I have is trying to connect to wifi.
I have tried to download network manager from the add ons but get the messages
"requires network manager 0.9 which are included with xbmc.buntu"
and also
"add on is incompatible or has been marked broken in repository".

Can someone please explain how I get my wifi connection up and running.

thanks

have to confirmed, that your wifi adapter is supported?

I would first upgrade to 13.2 using your wired connectioc. 13.0 is outdated.

Open a terminal (ssh or use the XBMCbuntu GUI by leaving XBMC and entering XBMCbuntu) and do:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

and

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

After that I would install a little tool, which helps to provide some infos:

Code:

sudo apt-get install pastebinit

After that I would provide a Debug Log while debugging is enabled (look at your system settings). You can provide a Debug Log by entering the following in a terminal:

Code:

cat /home/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinit

You will get an URL which can be posted in here.

Also a dmesg could help, too:

Code:

dmesg | pastebinit

and please provide this URL, too

Ya you would probably need to do it via the OS which you can use xbmcbuntu desktop to do. Any Ubuntu documentation on the subject would work for you.

Thanks for your replies.
Unfortunately I have not been able to solve this.

At the moment my laptop, on boot, gives me the choice of starting ubuntu or going to Windows.
I've decided I'd like to get rid of this option and go back to windows again and run xbmc from there.
It seems a lot of the issues I'm having would be solved by running xbmc from Windows.

I'd like a little bit of advice on that.
Also I have no idea how to uninstall ubuntu from my system so I can start again with just a direct windows boot up.

Can anyone help?
