General :: Can't Get On The Internet With Notebook?
Feb 9, 2011
I have a Acer aspire a50l/intel atom n270 1.6ghz/512mb/120gb/8.9/linux notebook. which uses linux lite im sure have had this for a few years now and been using it as a main computer still workds fine and never had much trouble. Today i was trying to view a website from germany which i wanted to read in english using translator but had trouble viewing each page anyway i see an option to i think download google toolbar or was it browser anyway since then when i go to my desktop and click on my browser button i can get on the net now.
I dont know what i have done or how to fix this,i thought i had downloaded google toolbar which im sure have used before on the computer but i just cant get on the net now,even though my wirelss conection says its. i get the message firefox is already running but is not responding.to open a new window you must first close the existing firefox process or restart your system. i have tried restart,switching it off etc and still cant get it to work,what should i do or how do i get this working again
i have just install fedora 14 in my hp g62. I am not familiar to linux. i want to learn linux because my educational softwares have good performance in linux and some of them didn't support windows. I want to know first how to install drivers, softwares and other learning stuff to get myself familiarize with fedora. i install fedora on windows notebook by reading fedora tutorials. Tutorials are good to understand but i don't have much time to read them all..
i have a aspire 1410 the Grafic is : VGA: Inter@ GMA 4500 Up to 1308 MB DVMT. I play any game and the grafic are sooo slow. where i can install it or this grafic is not good ? any game like CS, UT, WOW, i use ubuntu 10.04.
I have a laptop that has some issues with the hardware. I cannot get the dvd drive to recognize, nor can I get a usb stick to boot on startup despite setting the bios to do so. It's an averatec 3200 and it supports booting from usb. I have removed the HDD and put it in an IDE external case and formatted it with my macbook as FAT32 for now. I'd really like to install linux (linux mint 9 xfce or other) to the external HDD, then put it back into the laptop.
When I searched the forums and google, external hard drive installs center around either usb sticks (which I can't use) or installing to an external HDD for portability. I want to be able to install from a second laptop (I have both PC and mac available), remove the drive and install into the laptop the drive came from and finish the setup. I can not use a live CD or USB to do this because the CD drive is not working and I have yet to get a usb stick to boot (it goes straight to the HDD even though I changed the order in bios).
Perhaps it is not proper to post on this forum. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I have finally make up my mind to use Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) as the SOLE operating system on my notebook. The last obstacle is that where to find proper drivers for my devices? Such as code...
Could someone give me some advices on where to find these drivers?
The following system is planned : There should be one main notebook, to which are connected several displays with keyboards to offer for several persons chat opportunities. This chat should be projected with a beamer on a screen.I have several questions:
1) Is it possible for one computer to get at the same time different inputs from different persons and to process the inputs correctly? How could this be realized? Is x.org an adequate software solution?
2) How could the whole system being realized? What should be taken into account when buying the hardware?
3) Are there any Linux-specific problems with connecting to a beamer which are hard to manage for a newbie?
I have been all over the internet trying to find a wireless adapter that will work with my older Toshiba notebook. I have several but none seem to be recognized. I am willing to purchase one and I would like it to work out of the box.
I use ubuntu 10.04, and i have a note book with bluetooth, i use on windows and all ok. but i delete all my windows and i install linux. ubuntu, and now the bluetooth dont works... i thing my linux dont detect my bluetooth on my notebook. i go System -> preference -> Bluetooth and i get that : [url]
Dont detect my bluetooth device on my notebook. what i can do for install it or something ?
I have compaq presario v6307TU notebook, i am going to learn ethical hacking and i have ubuntu 9.10 and backtrack linux OS.
Do i need different drivers for my ubuntu n backtrack linux OS or there will be only one drivers required for 'linux'.
Anyways i am not able to find any drivers for my notebook for LINUX, i have asked HP for that but nothing gud happened they told that they dont have drivers for 3rd party operating systems.
My notebook uses Conextant HD audio and has intel 945 express family 128mb graphics, i ran ubuntu from the disk i have (but had not installed it yet) and tryed palying my .mp3,mpeg,mp4,avi files and nothing worked..obviously because i had not installed the audio-video drivers...causse i didnt had them...where to find them?
Also i wanted to kno that i have installed nfs most wanted on my xp, so will i be able to play it in linux?
I want to convert an old Dell Inspiron Notebook (circa 2000) to a linux based machine. Any suggestions on which distro to use, or some sites that will tell me how to accomplish this task?
I have just got a Acer 4738z notebook and got Fedora 12 installed. I am not able to connect to internet as the notebook is not showing any connectivity, availability of network(I have an active internet broadband with wifi modem.
I would like to boot directly from an external hard disk to improve performance over my internal notebook hard disk. My notebook has no native eSata jack but a pci express card.
As my BIOS doesn't support the card on boot time so no way directly booting it.
My question is, is it possible to work around this issue by using an USB stick or similar with a boot loader like grub and if so, will this only work for Linux or Windows as well?
I did command: sudo -s chmod 770 . chmod 770 .. And now I cannot login on my test server notebook. Please do not ask why I use server software on my notebook. Cause I like it and I use it only for typing text en learning linux commands. So I have a notebook with ubuntu server 8.04.2.
First question is: Why have linux after command ls -l -a this output? drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2009-11-04 20:45 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2009-11-04 20:45 .. And how must it to set and use? What is it's function? How can I repair my server notebook? Must I unmount my harddisk with a sqrewdriver and connect it to/on an other linux machine? If its needed, I can do that.
I just found out that jobs -l and man jobs produce no output in my terminal. how could I fix that? How could I install jobs command and its manual on my ubuntu 10.10 ?
Used ubuntu to wipe my brother's new laptop of bloated non-responsive windozed7 and use entire drive for linux. still trying to sort what files to download to make the transition. Sharing internet for search and downloading, but this notebook will not be connected where it is going, so I'd like to have a comprehensive collection of required software to support and enhance the learning curve. He wanted Knoppix, but I read that Ubuntu was a good choice for this machine and we both want to make the switch to Linux. just too many flavours to choose from. I also have Knoppix 6.4 on disc, but haven't used it on any machine yet. My desktop is next ASUS P7P55D wintel 4-core. Can I use Ubuntu 1010 on it as well? I'm willing to surf and follow the links to learn, but my brother is off-grid and would need some offline documentation to be on the hard-drive.
I have an LM Technologies 54Mbps wifi usb adapter.This is because my wireless section on my motherboard does not work.The drivers on the installation disk do not automatically install for linux. Looking at the manual I have to build the device driver. On the page is computer programing formulie that looks like a foreign language. I do not know computer programing. At the bottom of the page it says:-
Install individual driver If you only need driver of ZD1211 or ZD1211B you can issue: make clean make ZD1211REV_B=0(0 for ZD1211,1 for ZD1211b) make ZD1211REV_B=0 install(o for ZD1211,1 for ZD1211B to install the driver.
Then it says:- Build the debugging tool. There are two debugging tools in this package,"apdbg" and "menudbg". Run"make debug" to complete them both. If you do not have ncurse library, you may get some error messages while compiling meudbg. you can ignore it and get apdbg only. It goes on and on about network interface, configure wireless settings.
I'm trying to boot an SD card on a notebook that does not have BIOS support for booting from the SD slot. Using various how-to's I've figured out how to add additional SD card modules to the initrd.img file on a bootable USB drive such that I can boot Linux installed on the SD card.
However, best I can tell, it loads the kernel and initrd.img from the USB and everything else from the SD card. What I really want is to load the necessary SD modules from the USB and then chainload the SD card such that whatever kernel is on the SD card is loaded instead. Is it possible to chainload to another bootable device after the kernel (with the SD module additions) has already been loaded?
I noticed a few days ago, that history feature is not working on my ubuntu 10.10 notebook edition terminal. I mean I enter a bunch of commands today and then shut down. Come back again tomorrow and turn on the machine and open the terminal, but up and down arrows won't bring any old commands that I used today.
I am trying to install luckybackup on my ubuntu 10.10 notebook edition. But everytime I get the message box: Requires installation of untrusted packages. The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources. I press OK, and it fails. I have repeated this a few times, it afails everytime.
I got installed debian 6.0.1a en my compaq presario 1255 (amd-k6 with 160 Mb and 4.3 Gig), but I had to use expert install to be able to select lilo instead of grub2. I ended with a very basic system (it only uses 8Mb in console mode, and 28 Mb in fluxbox plus an xterm). It is still a very usable machine.
Previousy, I was able to install lenny 5.0.8 just with normal console mode install
I think that with lenny, the fan of the notebook (I mean the "external" one, I do not know if there is another in the micro) some times was on. but i do not think it works at any moment now with wheezy
I have been googling a couple of hours, but I am not getting a clear idea about fan and notebooks.
What have I to check? is it a module? something related to acpi?
My notebook seems to just freeze once in a while sometimes once a week, sometimes once in two weeks, sometimes once in two consecutive days. I cannot for the love of it narrow it down to anything. Granted, I have not followed the logs, but doing so for the first time gave no real results either.
Installed on my notebook ASUS X59SL Fedora 13. Once logged in, 10-15 minutes in the right half of the monitor changes color from blue to green with small ripples. That same thing happened on my Fedora 12 on kernel versions above 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE. Needless to Fedora 13 work under this kernel.
few days ago i migrated from Windows 7 to Fedora 15, but i am having a little problem, sometimes when i open Firefox with 3 or more Tabs, the Browser and the Notebook gets slow, and puff, it Shutdown, anyone have a solution? Notebook: Celeron 540 1.86 GHZ, 1 GB DDR2 , Intel GMA x3100, 120 HDD Sata, and my swap is 3GB...
So let's get to my question. I have two notebooks, but one of them don't work without a battery. So I want to use it like a wifi router for the other one. On the broken one I've installed openSUSE 11.3 and plugged the LAN cable. So now it has Internet. My question is how to create a WLAN and use it like a router
I've a desktop with Xubuntu 9.04 (wired) and a notebook with Ubuntu 9.10 (wireless), both with Samba installed. The Xubuntu one is a samba-server for a windows network (other pc at home). I don't know what to do to see the Ubuntu notebook with the server... I'm think that adding some lines at the smb.conf would solve this problem but I really don't know...
