laurierwireless Linux Tutorial in KDE

laurier idea

The Request

This is a tutorial in response to a Laurier Idea that I randomly came across.  I have provided screen shots below of a working Kubuntu 10.04 wireless setup that is currently workings with the “laurierwireless” ssid.

These settings should also work in the Gnome user interface (standard Ubuntu). The settings form might not look exactly the same, but the key settings that must be used are:

SSID: laurierwireless
Mode: Infrastructure
Security: WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication: Tunnelled TLS (TTLS)
Inner Authentication: PAP (Novel Username + Novel Password)
IP Address assignment: Automatic (DHCP)

pick a backup file then replace

# sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then reboot. Your done =]


apt-get Reinstall Apache2 Config Files

This Works:

After spending half a night trying the wrong way, i finally got apt-get in Ubuntu 9.10 to reinstall the apache configuration files. All you have to do is:

#sudo apt-get purge apache2.2-common
#sudo apt-get install apache2.2-common

Not Working:

I tried looking for several answers, all so close, yet all none working
