I use Linux for all my work. My wife has a laptop using Windows XP. She has picked up a virus, no surprise there then. While this is being sorted out I have added her as a second user on my laptop which uses Linux Mint. I am the main user on this laptop and I can connect via wifi without any problems, in fact that is what I am using now. However, when I test the new user, just set up, I find that I cannot connect to the wifi. I get some message about not finding the IP address. I have not changed anything, of course. It seems odd to me that I can log on to wifi automatically as me but not as the new user. Can anyone suggest what I could do to sort this please? Do I need to give her root privileges? Thanks Neil
sorry about the split response, i am on my netbook,
is there a option in users / groups that allows people to connnect to networks, if i look at my set up some users are not ticketed as being able to.
anyway its worth checking user properties. i am guessing as mint is based on ubuntu then there should be similarities in the user properties set up.
can someone with mint confirm or comment further Paul -- Paul Sutton Cert SLPS (Open) http://www.zleap.net 17th September 2011 - Software freedom day -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
