General :: New Vodafone 3G USB Modem Unresponsive With Ubuntu 10.8 Operating System?
Dec 7, 2010
My name is Mayan Viljoen & I am from South Africa. I am very new with Ubuntu and I don't understand why the Vodafone 3G modem HSDPA USB stick (model k3570-Z) which I recently bought should not like Ubuntu as much as it does Windows. I want to work on the Ubuntu side of my split hard drive rather than the Windows side. It is notoriously difficult to get connected to the net on the new Ubuntu with this 3G modem. Is it because it is really manufactured for Windows or is there another reason? It will only really connect approx. 1 out of approx. 8 odd times on the Ubuntu 10.8 Operating System, which is very annoying to me. What can be the reason for this? If it is that this modem was really made for Windows, what then is the best 3G modem and network to use with Ubuntu 10.8?

I am new to linux (Ubuntu 8.10). I don't know anything about sudo commands. At the moment I am using windows to connect to the internet because I con't get my vodafone K3765 USB 3G modem instal om Ubuntu. There is only .exe installation files on the stick. Every thing I try I first have to download it to a disk, restart my pc in Ubuntu and then try it if it dus not work,I have to restart my pc in windows connect to the internet and ask again. I love Ubuntu but I need internet.

I want to get a vodafone internet stick, but "they" say I have to install: vmb_1.1.0-0_i386.deb, downloaded the file and get this error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-serialization1.40.0 (>= 1.40.0-1) Now it turns out that I have libboost1.42.0 (1.42.0-4ubuntu2) installed...
Am I right in assuming that vodafone is to blame for the software not working?
Is there anyone who has got this software to work or has any tips?

Will a Linux operating system lose data during a power failure as does a Windows operating system?
(If yes.) This has not come up before but I'm going to be doing some work I don't want to lose.
Could you either point me to a backup tutorial or give me the quick overview of preserving stuff with Ubuntu?

I have a k3806-z vodafone mobile broadband modem, on ubuntu 10.04. I have added the mobile broadband connection with the network manager wizard. But network manager does not list my connection. I installed usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data. Still nothing. The disc utility tells me it recognises the modem as a cd drive and a storage device. Evidently usb-modeswitch is not working.

Assume I have a computer on which I want to use ubuntu for a while (single boot). Assume also that in about six months I want to give this computer to Mr. X, but I do not want Mr. X to know that I have been using ubuntu. I don't want to install anything over top of ubuntu, I just want the computer to be completely (or as nearly completely as possible) blank so that Mr. X cannot infer what I've been doing on it. The trick here is that I can't use operating system x_{1} to delete operating system x_{0}. I don't want Mr. X to know anything about which OS I have been using. Mr. X, by the way, is a sophisticated computer user but not particularly interested in tracking me down. Once he sees that the computer is blank Mr. X will just install his own operating system and everybody will be happy.

I have been using various operating systems on this computer.
At the moment I am using AntiX Mepis. I switched to Linux because my Windows used to freeze all of a sudden after a few hourse or even minutes.
Now my Linux was quite stable for a few days but again, it freezes in a few minutes when I use a Window Manager. In the terminal without using any Window Manager it never freezes.
Can anyone tell me the solution to this? code...

I installed LinuxMint on an external harddisk. I shutdown the laptop and removed the external harddisk. Then when I restarted the laptop (external harddisk was not attached).
Error: No such device <hex number>, Grub Rescue>
The laptop showed me the above stated error. Now I am not able to boot any OS on it until I reconnect the external harddisk!

I'm currently switching to a new laptop that will be my main machine and currently I use a laptop and a desktop on a daily basis. The laptop will continue to be used by another member of my family but the desktop will no longer have any use (well I might later build a new desktop but this one has finished his service).
The machine in question has:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ @ 2.4GHz
4x512MB DDR-400 (2GB Total)
Seagate 200GB SATA 7200RPM 8MB Cache Hard Drive
Geforce 6600GT 256MB GDDR3
Since I will no longer use it as a desktop/working machine I'd like to set it up as a home server. However I can't decide which OS to use for that. I have access to all Windows Versions since XP/2003 (with the exception of Windows Home Server) and I have some knowledge using both Windows and Linux so that's not a problem on my choice.
