[xubuntu-users] installation oddities

[honeyshell]

Hello Sandy,

You seem really aware with Ubuntu. So I will just speak about tricks I use
:

* For wifi :  your experience seems weird ;) If Ubuntu show you wireless
networks at home, it should be the same in the bar. It should not depend of
your device.

* For a quick install : First for the media, I suggest you to download the
dvd image with a torrent link. And next, put it on a usb-key  (more fast
than a dvd). During installation, on the first (or second) window, don't
click on "updating Ubuntu during installation). When your installation is
done, reboot without update. Open the sources.list file on Terminal with
the command :
$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and comment all lines existing, and add :

deb http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise main multiverse restricted
universe
deb http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise-backports main multiverse
restricted universe
deb http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise-proposed main multiverse
restricted universe
deb http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise-security main multiverse
restricted universe
deb http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise-updates main multiverse
restricted universe
deb-src http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise main multiverse
restricted universe
deb-src http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise-backports main multiverse
restricted universe
deb-src http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise-proposed main multiverse
restricted universe
deb-src http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise-security main multiverse
restricted universe
deb-src http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/ubuntu/ precise-updates main multiverse
restricted univers

After add, save & close with CTRL+X, and update with the commane :
$ sudo apt-get update
Tell 'yes' for updating your ubuntu.

I am not sure if this mirror is the nearest of your location. I was help
with this page : http://my.oschina.net/rockbaby/blog/14711, but it should
be more fast than an UK/US mirror.
Hoping my explanation was as clear as your mail ;)
