As a newbee to Linux this is likely to not be the last question I ask.

Problem 1. I have ubuntu on a Toshiba Laptop and have tried in vain to get the wireless working on it, Ive been using the correct SSID and WEP key but it just wont connect, except via ethernet. Any ideas?</blockquote><div>
<br> this could be a number of things. i'm not sure about this. i had problems with the default network manager. ( mainly cos i couled not be bothered figurine it out.) <br>I tend to use a diffrent network manager called WICD [ <a href="http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php">http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php</a> ]. Which i think should be the default network manager. <br>

Problem 2. Was downloading virtual box for linux and got an error - "dependency not satisyable libqt4-core". Presumably this is something on the laptop that doesnt have an open source code equivalent or something? But is there a way to solve this.<br>
</blockquote><div><br> you can install this package from the ubuntu repositorys. <br> so open Aplications -> Terminal <br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
