My daughters friend has brought me her Eeepc 900A and asked me to get it to work the a Vodaphone Dongle ..
Here what i know ... the Dongle is a K3570-Z and the Eeepc 900A says Lunix ASUS ...
I know nothing at all about Linux and reading howto's on the net has totally thrown me...
I also tried to get wireless to connect and it just says Pending and same with a Network Cable ..Pending ... whats that .. ?
I am trying to get my daughters Ubuntu Laptop to connect to the internet via a Vodafone USB dongle.
I have managed to get the modem itself to connect to Vodafone using the Sakis3G script (brilliant), however once connected the laptop will not pass data through this connection. i.e. when I select "Vodafone prepaid" as a network connection, the little pop up comes up and says GSM no connected?
When I get a connection information from Sakis, it gives an IP address and even had a tiny bit of throughput, however I do not know how to tell it to use the vodafone thingy.
We recently got a new mini PC which came pre-installed with Ubuntu 10.10, so far, so good. Today, we invested in a Vodafone broadband dongle (model number: K3570-Z/K3571-Z). I've installed the dongle on our old XP machine, with no problems, however, Ubuntu won't even recognise that it's plugged in. What am I doing wrong? We've had the new machine for 3 days, so I'm really new to all of it and haven't learnt how to use the command prompt yet, so I'm hoping someone has some advice for a complete beginner. I can't understand why it's not recognising that somethings plugged in, because from what I've found, you need usb_modeswitch in over for the dongle to be recognised as a modem.

I've spent several hours reading stuff, most of which is way above my head.
I plug it in, set it up in "edit connections". Nothing happens.
It shows up in disk utility twice, as a usb vodaphone storage (huawei) and cd drive (vodafone cd rom)
I switched from puppy to ubuntu because I read that you could just plug dongles into ubuntu and they would be recognized. (Spent many many hours trying to get it working in puppy.)
I'm new here. This is my first post. Something tells me my problem will be met with great sighs and shrugs of shoulders. I think you may have heard this problem just a few thousand times. couple of days ago i took the plunge and installed Ubuntu 9.10. I already run XP Pro. I have the system set for dual booting until i get to grips with Linux and have all that i use daily from software to hardware comprehesively installed and running. then i have this ideal romantic dream of dumping my microsoft heartache, and living a happy life with the new love in town (an OS that works!)
Vodafone (Huawei K3520) mobile broadband dongle. Yes i know its a touchy subject but i am going cross-eyed reading info on various forums from this one to the betavine forums and a detour through vodafone themselves. I just can't find clear concise info on how to get this dongle up and running with Ubuntu. My laptop is Acer Aspire 5633 WLMi. I would really really appreciate your help on this subject i need to get online with this dongle and Ubuntu.
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.

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to recover a lost partition from a faulty SSD . I've used Linux last time, hence I'm a bit rusty. Still I'm trying to recover a damaged SSD filesystem on a eeePC 900 of a friend of mine ...Here are the details.
Asus eeePC 900
- 4GB primary SSD (OS is installed in here and works fine)
- 16GB secondary SSD (this one is faulty; after a few weeks of problems this friend of mine made some sort of system restore, but Linux couldn't use it correctly and trashed it away with all of it's data ... he couldn't explain it better to me. I'd like to recover the files from within this SSD)
Here's what I did on the eeePC:
1) fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdb: 16.1GB, 16139354112 bytes
...
/dev/sdb 1 1962 15759733+ 83 Linux
[code]......
I'm trying to find out the right words without generating any inflammatory answers from the community ... I currently kinda have only a Windows Seven installation available to work with ...
If you're still with me I add a few more details. That's all been done on the Win machine.I've managed to load the sdb.img file with Gizmo (it's a little software that mounts img files). Gizmo couldn't load the sdb1 partition inside of it but ... another program called PhotoRec managed to access the mounted disk, found the ext3 partition inside of it (gave me a few errors though) and successfully recover a lot of files :-) Well, a lot, not all of them, and not every recovered file was good That's a first improvement, that tells me sdb.img actually contains valid data even if only partially valid. I don't know if PhotoRec is to be blamed for the failed ones or the SSD image file did not contain enough valid data to let PhotoRec do a good job.
Now I would go back to Linux. I'm well aware that Linux has more potentials than Windows when it comes to handling disk images, loopback devices and so on; but, as I already said earlier, I'm a bit rusty.I'm willing to make a fresh installation of Linux (maybe Ubuntu) on a spare harddisk in order to get full advantage of that and dig deeper but I need directions when it comes to recover that lost partition. I'd like to try and recover the entire partition (not only a few files), maybe rebuilding the ext3 superblock or whatever.Here I'm lost, I don't know what has been developed in the last years regarding partition recovery in Linux, what tools are available, which forums deal with such techniques, I'd like to be pointed in the right direction.
I have recently bought an ASUS Eeepc 4g and i am having trouble trying to run/open jar. files.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently got my EEEPC and wanted to get linux on it. So I did some looking around and this Eeebuntu seems to be the best fit. I'm having some issues here though. I poked around on the Ubuntu site (because I have limited experience there) and googled and searched this forum. I found several solutions but none worked. Ilimited my swap to 1 gig, I created a home partition and a 10gb "/" partition I tried super grub and came back to the error 15 not so lucky grub boot i have dont largest continous install. Manual install and an install side by side.
I swallowed 3 screams and the urge to chuck this pretty little netbook but the ubuntu on my dell laptop has renewed my hope... somewhat. As of right now I'm booting from a live cd in an external DVD drive. I will note that my installs get to 94% or so before the fatal grub error and super grub in its cd form can boot it but super grub boot through uboot cannot. nor can it install or fix grub. So here is where we stand my current FDisk

I've been tempted to try the eeebuntu over my Asus eeePC 1005AH and I've been surprised how simple and smooth the installation went, every component and device has been recognized correctly, from the devise manager is possible to turn on and of the WiFi, Bluetooth, webcam, the 6-cell battery provide me the regular 6+ hours, etc. However I can't get in internet. Managing the network connections from the Control Center I have added manually the SSID and security parameters, or I beleive so becasue differently from windows there is no utility that scan the available wifi networks around.

Have had some problems creating a bootable USB, but followed a thread on the netbook forum that I think will be useful. Before going ahead I wanted some advice on a few things:
- does the Ubuntu OS install over Xandros or is there work to be done post install to clear Xandros out?
- if i want to keep using Thunderbird, StarOffice etc. as supplied with Xandros can I install these to Ubuntu?
Sorry if above all seems obvious: sites I've been to, or books are great at telling you about how good the OS is and how to install but nothing on what happens to the old OS.
