Comment 16 for bug 373680

Quoting bitinerant <email address hidden>:My problem is more connected to the
failure of network manager and possibly the graphics not supporting mozilla
artwork USA in the opening window,My home network is pinging efficiently in
terminal but I can not connect to the web.I have had error messages during the
download of karmic which may be the ultimate cause and I have downloaded it on
several occasions both directly through update manager and via another
comp via
cd.In any case I shall waite untill I receive the official CD and try that
live.
If that fails, I will stick with 9.04 which works fine.
