Network Problem - Cannot access

It looks like sometimes files can become corrupted by power (or battery) issues. This looks like a fix: [url]http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/linpus-linux-lite-no-network-manager-or-internet-acer-aspire-one-663422/[/url] Specifically, the instructions that seemed to work are these:[quote]The fix is to delete the ~/.gconf/system/networking directory. This resets the networking config files forcing the NetworkManager to recreate them. The exact input if using the terminal, with no root needed:[code=xml]rm -rf ~/.gconf/system/networking[/code][/quote]

If you want to locate the directory graphically, go to your home directory ( the tilde '~' is short for your home directory) which would be something like /home/Nacht. There might be a icon of a House or something to represent your home directory. Directories beginning with a '.' are hidden, so to be able to see [i][b].gconf[/b][/i] you will have to find the menu to find an option to allow you to see hidden files; pressing [b]Ctrl+h[/b] might also do this. [i][b]sytem[/b][/i] and [b][i]networking[/i][/b] should be visible. You could just delete the networking directory. The easier way to do it, in my opinion, is to use a terminal. It is a program that is probably located under Accessories or Utilities, somewhere like that. The icon is typically a black monitor screen. Once it opens, you can just type (or copy and paste) exactly this:[code=xml]rm -rf ~/.gconf/system/networking[/code]and then press Enter; this should delete it.
