I have Ubuntu 10.04 on a 500gb WD hdd and a second WD 500gb as my music drive. The bios sees the drive with my music but I cannot access the drive at all after booting up, i.e. I can't see the drive at all. I searched on here awhile and looked at the "similar threads" link but didn't find anything that seemed to answer this.

Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04 installed on the entire hard drive
Problem: Ubuntu does not recognize CD-ROM drive "D".
My wireless internet works fine on Windows but not on Ubuntu 10.10 From researching the problem, the best advice I have found was to install ndiswrapper, locate the .inf file and install it through that. I have done so and that seems to have done nothing. Then I heard that you were supposed to run the command:
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
All that did was give me an error message about how that action was prohibited (or some such). I'm wondering if this is possible to fix on Ubuntu or if I will have to find something else. Also, the wireless driver I am trying to use is bcmwl6 which funnily enough seemed to have a package on the boot cd to install it.
That package didn't work and just gave me and error message telling me there was a programming error in it.
I'm sorry I wasn't particularly detailed with the messages I was getting, this is because I am currently on Windows and finding those again would mean rebooting and losing this post. I can get them though if they are particularly needed. I know this seems to be a commonish problem but I haven't found a solution (yet) that has worked for me.
I had a problem with centos 5 not recognising usb sticks dispite installing and using centos 5 on different computers. This was cured by slotting the stick in imediatly after start up which seems odd but I have seen others having similar problems.

As you can imagine being able to see the battery power left is a bit more then convenience. I am running it frugal install. Is there just a setting or something that I am flat out missing? I used the Hardinfo hardware information tool (A tool in puppy linux) and it also didn't find the battery.

I duel boot so I know that Vista (64bit) recognizes my 8G, and Memtest86+ recognizes my 8G, but for some reason Fedora 9 (64bit) says it has 3.1 G RAM. Is this a problem with Fedora 9 (64bit) or is it some configuration thing I've missed?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a nice spare K6 machine with a 66G drive and OS/2 Warp 4 installed on the primary partition, which is all of 2G, formatted in HPFS. Like DOS, OS/2 can only be on the primary partition. I have set up and formatted 3 additional partitions as ext2 or ext3 using qParted. GRUB is a great bootloader, but does not seem to recognize the primary partition at all, making multiboot difficult. Is there a way of getting GRUB to recognize the HPFS?

About two days ago I installed Bodhi Linux on my machine. I like it because it's fast and small. Anyway, I have two issues: I can't get the system to recognize any of my audio cd's, or my USB drive. I don't even get a notification that there is anything in my DVD drive. The other issue is that I am unable to go in and look at my hardware configuration from the main window. I have looked through as many paths that I could think of without killing the system, and I don't want to try anything I know nothing about.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIve been at this for two days now, and cant make any progress.
First, the details:
Target Machine:
IBM (e)server, xSeries 306
OS: Fedora 4
Boot Order:
1. CD...
2. Removable Media
3. SATA...
USB Drive:
adata 8GB
Process:
I used the prescribed live usb creator for windows to fill the usb drive. Ive attempted to boot from the USB at least 4 times, once from each USB port on the box. No luck.There isnt an option in the BIOS to select the specific boot device. I bring that up because my desktop does have that option, and using the BIOS BOOT MENU, I was able to boot from the USB and bring up the Fedora 14 Installation Menu, no problem.
So, it works on the pc thats on my desk (eMachine w/XP), but the IBM doesnt even recognize it.
today, i am doing to the terminal for install the package, but seem a failure unable to E: ?
here is an example.

I installed Xubuntu 11.04 a few days ago, and everything's been more or less fine since then. But I installed some updates last night, paying no attention to what they were, and this morning I logged in to find problems.
Open windows do not get registered with window listings (like in the top panel, for instance). All windows open above desktop panels, and cannot be moved behind them. Some windows open with their title bars above the top frame of the screen, but Alt + Click/Drag doesn't grab the window. Maximizing and minimizing windows do not work. There is simply no reaction to clicking them. I logged out and also restarted the system to see if it was a fluke, but it's not.
Otherwise, everything still seems to be functional. I'm writing this post from the laptop that's having the problem. I'm going to try uninstalling the crappy ATI video drivers and see if that resolves the problem.
I can select Ubuntu 10.10 OS from the grub menu, but it no longer loads? It scrolls through some lines, including mount failure and "No such file or directory." before halting below :
(initramfs)
The same happens when recovery is selected.
I'm using an Intel-based macbook, I made a new partition with BootCamp, after that I inserted debian installation CD, deleted the FAT32 partition that was made by BootCamp, made 3 new partitions:
/ ex3
/home ex3
and a swap partition,
after installing debian, I restarted macbook, but it couldn't recognize linux partitions, in Mac OSx I can't find any of these partitions as startup disks, and I can't mount them in Disk Utility, How can I access these partitions? how can I boot to debian?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAnyone here knows the OpenSuse install CD runthrough? I am using DELL pc's, and remember installing Linux as being a few almost basic steps on my self assembled clone pc's in my youth. Now, over ten years later I want to redo that and return to my old playground. I am using after over 12 years administering MS stuff again applications running on unix (solaris) at my work. Its like homecoming but in a difficult way, I am brainwashed and not really into unix anymore. So... lets install linux again at home. Returning to my favorite Suse distribution in the old days (who knows why).
I went through the installation (Opensuse11) simple, standard to start with, so mainly next (ACPI disabled). Rebooted... and the pc finds no recognized bootable HDD. OK, well, try again, other HDD to be sure, results in the same. Set manually the root partition as active. No go, I feel as a newbie again. What happened to me in those last years? Tried to do it also with a fedora distri - same outcome. When plugging these HDD in another recent (DELL) pc, it also does not recognize the HDD as bootable. Both disks have been part of a system before and functioned; until I changed this system for this other purpose. Probably i am missing something basic??
