no internet + no access to my documents + GStreamer error

Hi,

I wonder someone can help me, i have strange issues on my AA1, which appeared suddenly.

After switching it on i get the message "The network is not connecting to internet right now. Do you want to create a new connection now?"
When going into the connection manager I can see the connection I am normally using, but when i select it and click "connect" nothing happens.

Scanning for available wifi network gives no results while my other PC is currently running on wi-fi half a meter away.

The volume icon in the right botton has a cross (x) mark on it and when i click on it it says " No volume control GStreamer plugins andor devices found"

When i click on " my documents" it does not open. The same is the case with " my music". " My pictures" open but it has no pictures in it that i had.
The rest works fine like media master etc.

currently running linpus linux v1.0.21.e

any guess?

 

I am having the exact situation and was hoping to find an answer here.

Bumping for help...

Thanks in advance.

 

Ive been looking for a solution for ages. I had to reinstall linux in the end... :cry:

 

RVB- I can't figure out how to do that, can you help me to reinstall linux?

 

You will need the CD that was included in the box when you purchased your AAO, a USB stick (I think 2GB min) and access to another computer.
Note that you will loose all your personal data on your AAO by doing the following, and you will start with a clean install.

- plug the usb stick and insert the CD in the other computer
- boot the computer from the CD (you'd have to press F2 or cancel or something else depending on your computer)
- select QUICKLY "creating a USB recovery drive"
- select the USB stick (all information on the stick will be erased)
- this process can take a few minutes (10 min or more, depends on your PC) and will create a bootable stick
- after finished, insert the USB stick on the AAO
- boot the AAO and press F12
- select the USB stick
- let the install process go through (~20min or more)
- don't forget to remove the USB stick before switching your AAO off

I hope this helps

 

Please be careful at that stage. Numerous people have reported accidentally choosing the wrong disk !!

 

easy mistake to do if you have external hard drive for instance. best to disconnect everything else before starting the procedure

 

Oh Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it!!
