I have just tried to upgrade my Toshiba Laptop (Satelite X205-S9800) from Fedora 10, which was working correctly, to Fedora 12. During the first boot Fedora 12 does not recognise my Wireless LAN Card and stops (Freezes) in that part of the first boot sequence. I have tried switching the LAN OFF in the Bios and also switching it off(There is an On/Off switch on the Wirless LAN card. Neither of those actions fixed the problem.
I'm running FC 12, on a Pentium III PC. This has a 440BX motherboard with an AWE64 Gold ISA card. It wasn't recognised at boot up, I've installed the GUI ALSA mixer, inisitally it shows no sound device.Searching around the forums stumbled across the command:modprobe snd-sbaweThis one line command worked fine (no errors), enabled the volume control, and ALSA mixer GUI gave loads of nice sliders. Pushing these up I found that basic sound was working fine (eg playing Flash video within Firefox). I don't need any other features of the AWE64 right now (might like MIDI port one day).
However, each time I reboot the system it forgets, and I have to run the comand again (and tweak up the volume in the mixer, particularly for PCM).I tried adding a file called awe64 in /etc/init.d, with the contents:
#!/bin/bash #modprobe snd-abawe
(and chmod +x awe64) but this doesn't seem to get run, or has no effect.I tried adding a file to /etc/modprobe.d but this just gave errors - I think this is the right approach though.What should I do please?
There is no wlan0 interface when trying to run FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N 2.4 on OpenSuSE 11.2, though it works fine on Fedora 11 and Mandriva Spring 2009.1. All 64bit. Contrary to Fedora and Mandriva, there is no need to compile the compat-wireless module ar9170usb for OpenSuSE 11.2 because the kernel is very recent and includes this driver. Kernel: 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop The /var/log/messages gives this after I put the stick in the PC. At first it is seen as a mass storage device:

I have just installed Mint on my PC. I have a DualPhone skype phone which connects to the PC via usb. I have installed the software using wine but the software does not recognise that the phone is connected.
Is there something I need to do to let the software running through wine see the usb port?
Answers need to be very simple to understand as I am not a natural at this!
Recently (I can't put an exact date on it but its been within the last few weeks) on boot I've had to wait two or three minutes for my system to bring up my network interface, in a way its never done before...The output of /var/log/boot.log is as follows:
Code: Welcome to Fedora Press 'I' to enter interactive startup.
Using tips provided in the "Sticky" posts, I have identified my wireless device -- BCM4322 -- and installed the necessary firmware and drivers. The device appears in Network Manager until system reboot, at which time the "ssd" driver module is loaded instead. After each boot I must execute the following commands to remove ssd and load the Broadcom driver:
rmmod ssb modprobe lib80211 modprobe wl
The Broadcom README file provides directions to load the correct module automatically, but the commands appear to be incompatible with openSUSE 11.4. I'm happy to provide additional detail if needed
i'm a complete noob, i have had linux for about 3 hours now. Everything installed just fine, but i have no WIFI. So, i have googled the internet so hard.
My problem is. I installed Linux Mint 11 on my Dell Inspiron 8600 No wifi I tried to follow this guide (after endless searching) http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/..._and_b43legacy
My ubuntu was working fine till morning but all of a sudden in the evening , its WICD manager stopped detecting my wlan card , because of this it couldn't detect any wireless network.I formatted and installed the fresh copy, but the problem remains the same.Interesting thing is that the same lan card works fine for Win7 OS.Even earlier in ubuntu it was working fine.I have dual boot machine...
I'm trying to customise my netbook and my wlan is my only rock in the path of a fully open source supported netbook ... Plug and play in linux Here's what I need to swap/switch :
I got an older computer from a friend who had Windows XP as an operating system. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on it, but cannot get the wireless controller to work. It is a BCM4303. Yes, it is an old one. So far I have spend virtually nothing on the computer. Ubuntu installed without a hitch as far as I can tell with the exception of this WIFI problem. I have searched the forums but got no matches. Perhaps I am using the wrong key words. Can anyone offer a solution or point me in the general direction.
I'm having problems with wifi on my Dell Inspiron 1501. According to the specifications, it has a "Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN MiniCard". I could not activate the device. I have installed openSUSE 11.4 with GNOME.
my mate "polish dave" came round and hooked his laptop to my network 02wireless with WEP enc, using backtrack he had my password within 15mins.. now i want to copy him and see just how easy it is my 'acer aspire one' comes with a built in atheros ar5b95 wireless (useless) that i cant get backtrack to find.. i bought a tplink usb and now i cant get that to show up either.
usb devices inserted after bootup aren't being automounted and opened. For the life of me, after much googling, I can't get them to work. the ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd modules are not loaded, but those were from some old posts, and I don't know how relevant they are to me.But if I insert the usb before startup, ubuntu now recognises and automounts any usb device.before the recent kernel update ( **.2 my wifi dongle would be recognised. but after,it seems as it too isn't being recognised.for the meantime, I am keeping a small unused usb device plugged in the back of the tower.
I just installed the latest Ubuntu on my laptop. WEP key is not accepted when connecting to wireless even I using the correct key. When I closed the WEP, I able to connect to the Internet. I had search for a long time. Seems like linux always has this kind of problems. WEP key is not recognised due to ASCII or Hex key? How I choose to insert the ASCII or Hex?
I am a complete new comer to Ubuntu and its going well except that it won't recognise my HP C5380 Photosmart.I have installed HPLIP, however it wont recognise the thing.
Can not get Ubuntu 11.04 to recognize my Dell 1390 Mini Card WLAN. IT works fine with a Ethernet connection but does not find my WLAN. Can someone please offer so much desired help? I have a Inspiron 1521 with an AMD 64X Processor.
I installed ubuntu 10.10 and everything worked fine for two days (and I fell in love with linux) but now I can not connect to a wireless connection. Did I mention I am new to linux and have been working on this problem for a couple of days. My wireless card is 1395 WLAN Mini-Card I think I have the b43 driver installed. I have reinstalled the driver and linux but to no effect.
I downloaded debian-6.0.1a-ia64-netinst.isoI burned this to a CD using wodimPopped the CD into a new desktop computer, pushed the power button and get the message:Robeet and Select proper Boot deviceor Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a keyI thought it might be something to do with the writing of the CD so I went to a Windows laptop, copied the ISO image over and then wrote the image to another blank CD on this machine. Tried booting this and received the same message.
The new computer will boot from other CDs, as I have an older Windows XP boot disk and that works just fine.What else can be wrong...??? Is the image valid? Has anybody else successfully downloaded and boot from this image? I kind of expect so but I don't know - maybe it's still really new.I have downloaded and installed Debian previously using this method, however back then I was using the i386 image. This time I checked and my cpu and board, the Intel 64 bit architecture should be fine so I don't see why I shouldn't be using this version.
My computer has two optical disk drives but SUSE only recognises the newer one which is an NEC DVD/RW drive. The other one is older and both were recognised when I had Windows 7 on this computer
I installed OpenSuse 11.4 (x86_64) a couple of days ago.One of my Drives a PC-DVD RAM (Creative) is not working. This worked under 11.3.The SCSI drive is connected to a PCI/SCSI adapter (AHA-2904).The message I see at boot is: ata_id[443]HDIO_GET_IDENTITY FAILED /dev/sr1I also see the message ata_piix not found, and can not find an option in the kernel to provide this.his causes the system to wait a long time and slows down boot dramatically
I have recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5138 laptop running windows 7 (removed) and I have installed Linux Mint 10.10 gnome. I am having an issue with the headphone jack as it is not recognised by the system. I get sound from the internal speakers. I have run the Alsamixer v1.0.23 in terminal it looks like this[URL]
I have a 3g data card(LW272 GSM/WCDMA USB Modem with HSPADataCard) which is a type of multi-mode, 3G modem or card, applicable to 2G/3G networks; but it doesn't get recognised in Ubuntu 9.10. Actually, this device came with a software(for linux too) which makes calls and sms possible simultaneously while surfing. But while installation(from root terminal) i see a repeated trials of connecting to modem but it does not find the device(something wrong in installation), and the interface of the software also shows "No(U) Sim". Anyhow it doesn't bother me much if i m not able to avail the additional services( call and sms), but what i need is to make the modem recognisable so that i could configure the connection.
If I have only 1 physical WLAN interface, is there some hackery that can be done so that it can be a client of an existing access point and at the same time also act as an access point for other clients? I have an existing 802.11g ADSL router, and I'm going to be building an HTPC which will have 802.11n. My laptop also has 802.11n, but at the moment it only connects at 54Mbps because thats what the AP supports. I'd like to be able to have the HTPC be a client of my ADSL router, but have my laptop be a client of the HTPC, so copying files to it will be faster.
apt-get install startxwould sort this out but no joy. I don't seem to actually be able to get anything using apt-getI've tried running apt-setup but the command isn't recognised.I'm sure I'm connected up to the internet (I'm using a wired connection I run dhclient eth0 and check with ifconfig and eth0 seems all happy and connected up). I'm also trying to install mpg321 or mpg123 as it would be nice to have some tunes but I get the same "package not found" error message
Ubuntu version: Karmic Koala (ubuntu 9.10)I've been fiddling arround quite some time with this card. So far i established the following:
1. Card is supported by drivers already available in kernel (v4l, v4l(2)). 2. Card is recognised by Skype as well as by gstreamer. However gstreamer gives me mostly greeen screen when i test it. no propper picture. both found it on video1 (video0 is webcam). 3. I know it is supposed to work well in Linux URL...instructions are for fedora here. 4. there are quite a few tutorial for this card online (even ubuntu), however they are for older version and most of them consist of getting new drivers installed (which are already included with Karmic).
TV Time - blank screen - it is trying to get video from video0 device, which is webcam. i can not set it to use video1 instead as when i click in the menu to change input nothing happens.VLC player - i select use device and set it to V4l or PVR. in both cases the programme itself switches to video0 and turns on my webcam. Nothing else happens. I also installed iv-tv including all necessary libraries and dependancies - as suggested as solution to similar model of card. Didn't change anyhting. it's basically the only thing that is not working yet (most other things i already solved-sort of). I am also interested why the programmes keep switching automaticly to video0 for input when i clearly state to them to use video1?!If this can not be solved can anyone suggest another cheap TV tunner that "just works" in Ubuntu (including remote control)?! I have a big monitor and i think i could use it as TV instead of getting a new TV....
After having some issues with GRUB2 not showing my operating system list, I accidently screwed up my Windows 7 partition by selecting the 'Bootable' checkbox in thePalimpsest(?) Disk Utility.After finding this thread (and the links provided in responses), the problem appears to be the same but, unlike the user in that thread, I was unable the uncheck the Bootable flag after checking it - the partition became totally unrecognised, and the Disk Usage Analyser shows only ~5gb of HDD space in use.
I have no other Windows installation on my hard drive, apart from the Recovery Partition which existed when the PC was bought. The thread I linked to suggested that the bootmgr file may be on the partition of another bootable Windows partition (although I'm not able to get to the PC in question right now, so I'm not 100% sure if the Recovery Partition was flagged as bootable or not)What I need to know is:(1) Is it possible to solve this problem without having to re-install Windows? I don't really have many tools (or much knowledge about all these things) at my disposal, and have no idea how to access the Recovery Partition files in order to see if the required Boot folder and bootmgr file are there.Also, in the file explorer, my Windows 7 partition is no longer visible.
(2) If this is possible, do I require internet access on the PC itself? Ever since I installed Ubuntu, it has been unable to detect proprietary drivers for my network card (whereas the demo from the USB stick I installed Ubuntu with was capable of detecting proprietary drivers)
I have just updated ubuntu from koala to lynx via reloading the synaptic repositories, and after having restarting, to boot into lynx, found that my laptop's keyboard doesnt work, none of the keys are reponding at all, which is odd as I have never had this problem with my laptop before.. I thought this might have been a (semi) common problem with lynx, but after a few searches, have not found anything similar to this problem..Does anybody have any idea what might be the problem here, I can still use the laptop to do things via the mouse and even access the internet and grab text and paste it for things, but obviously would like my keyboard back (i didnt write this on my laptop!) I am 99.9% sure it is not a hardware problem
I installed Ubuntu a few weeks ago on a spare laptop (on a Serial ATA Samsung 500500JI). It was my first experiment outside the Windows and Apple OSs and all went well. However, I need the hard-drive (and more specifically the files on it) on a new Windows-run laptop. I have attached the hard-drive via a caddy to both a Windows and an Apple laptop. Both recognise it as a healthy drive, but neither will allow me to browse the files on it.
I'm a little out of my depth, but I get the sense that it may have something to do with either the file system, or the assigning of a drive letter. I can't currently change the drive letter in Windows 7 using its onboard drive management control panel. All such options are greyed out. I've now put the HDD back in the Ubuntu laptop and am looking at the disk utility, but honestly don't know what I'm looking to do.
