Ubuntu 5minutes per day - Setup the network

Today is too long for me to come back using Ubuntu, it has been install since the time I began using it last year

Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings!

You are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
                - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.   

So humble, it is not really up to date but a little bit helpful for me, will get it upgraded to version 13, so now be back working around.

Networking service: modify the configuration file and manage its service.

I prefer using terminal rather than GUI,

ifconfig

          inet addr:192.168.0.51  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

It seemly does not allow me accessing to the Facebook but I will not surrendering  

sudo su 
cd /
gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
or
vi /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.x.x
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.x.x
dns1 192.168.x.x

Just add the dns's setting and name server 

hit a to enter the edit mode

dns2 8.8.8.8
dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8

hit ESC, :wq!


Then,
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Try Facebook again, yeah great! I can access it, thanks God.

Now try with Google Chrome, I have synced everything on there so need it get me back with a lot of favourites stored. The company Dell one has been stolen..hix so sad and bad fortune.
 
Go to the internet menu and pick up Chrome, oop!

Google Chrome can not be run as root.
Please start Google Chrome as a normal user. To run as root, you must specify an alternate --user-data-dir for storage of profile information.

Doesn't matter, work around and playground

Back to the terminal then:

apt-get install google-chrome-stable

it's in a progress, oop...now stop the synaptic package manager, check to uninstall then back to the shell.
   

Ok, it seems running now

Hopefully it could work, try it now, stupid it's still not working at all, why?

Because of the previous proxy setting, it was an ISA 2006 server and the information is still in the cache.

Try editing the config file /etc/apt/apt.conf

sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf

clear the file then type the following before saving

acquire::http:: proxy "false";

Then now, it work. I'm trying to connect to the VLAN 2, so back to adjust the interfaces file.
