General :: Which UNIX Distribution Works On A Dell M5010 Without Having To Compile Any Drivers
Jul 22, 2011I want to have UNIX or Linux on my laptop but I found that the wireless did not work on all the ones I tried. I have not tried again for over 6 months but don't have the time to experiment. It took me a week straight last time, I tried PCBSD (8.1), Ubuntu, OpenSUSE (11.3), and various others. The laptop was just released then, so I can understand why all the drivers might not have been compatible then.
I am hoping someone else has successfully added a distribution and can tell me which.
LAPTOP: Dell Inspiron M5010 (15R) [not to be confused with Dell N5010, which is the Intel version]
Here is my hardware (from Speccy):
General :: How To Find A 64-bit Distribution
Jan 31, 2010I need a 64-bit Linux distribution to beta test TeraChem, a GPU-based quantum chemistry package. I have never personally used Linux, however, and I don't know anything about the available distributions. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations.
My system specifications:
CPU: Xeon W3520
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 275
Motherboard: GIGABYTE EX-58 UD5
Current OS: Windows 7 64-bit
I would not use Linux as my sole OS but would want to dual-partition (I think that is the term?). However, I think I would end up using the distribution for more than just running TeraChem. I may even become a convert!
What am I looking for in a distribution? Ease of use, efficiency, 64-bit. What do I know how to do? I can build computers, code in C++, comfortably use a command line.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Distribution Where Audio Just Works?
Jul 20, 2010Is there a Ubuntu distribution in which sound "just works"? I'm booting into Windows 7 far too much.I am running both Jaunty (on an old P4V533-MX desktop) where for some reason my sound went away, and Lucid, on a new Dell laptop (all-Intel Studio 14). I thought a new installation of Ubuntu 10.04 on modern hardware would give me rhythmbox back, but I get no sound of any kind from the Dell laptop after installation, although everything works Ok if I boot into a W7 (came with the purchase) partition.
I don't want to fiddle with configuration files any more - just wondering if there is a "most-dependable" Ubuntu with respect to audio. Which I will install. Frustrated and impatient after weeks of this.I am an old (hairy eared) Unix fan but IMO if Linux continues to complicate itself so freely (i.e. Pulseaudio - I don't know an audio mixer from a can opener and would prefer to remain that way), then the small market share it has will slip away rather than grow.
Hardware :: Distribution That Works With Radeon 9250
Jan 16, 2010I'm new to Linux, been running Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, love it. I set up a dual boot with XP on my desktop, but it's seemingly impossible to get my ATI Radeon 9250 working with any reasonable performance with later versions of Ubuntu (as several more experienced users have assured me).
Does anyone know of decently easy-to-use distributions that work out-of-the-box (or without dedicating more hours of work) with the Radeon 9250?
I've tried Ubuntu 9.10, 8.04, and OpenSUSe, latest version. No dice.

Mar 14, 2011Is there any easy way (i.e. command or file to view) to find out what distribution I am running? I know that my /etc/apt/sources.list has entries for stable, testing and unstable but I hear that (as of the 30th) "stable" has become Sarge. So if I performed an apt-get update then an apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday should I assume that I am now running Sarge?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Find Qlogic NIC Card Presence?
Jul 5, 2011We had a problem with the NIC 10Gig Qlogic NICs and had to swap them with Emulex 10Gig NIC cards. The swap has been done. There are several severs (about 100)for which we need to check if the hands-on still left the q logic card in them. So, I wrote a script using dmesg and grepped for "qlogic" or " NC522SFp" and my script checked for all the servers and returned no presence of "qlogic". But few of them have q logic still in them. So, is there any other way through which we can exactly tell whether q logic card is still present or not? I used:
dmesg | grep -i "qlogic" or
dmesg | grep -i " NC522SFp"
and found nothing in the o/p. But when I checked using ifconfig -a, then I see the q logic mac ids for eth4 & eth5, which means the Q logic is still present.But not sure whether ifconfig is the real way to find out the presence of these cards.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora Networking :: WMP54G PCI Card Works With FC9 But Not After Upgrade
Jan 24, 2009I have a now pretty old PC, I think it is 400 Mhz Pentium II, on which I installed a Linksys WMP54G 802.11g PCI card, and on which I wanted to run Fedora 10, but I can't get the wlan card working. As I had a vague memory of having it seen working before, I reverted to Fedora 9, and it worked, at least before I made an update of it. So I took a closer look at it, and besides finding out that there is nothing wrong with my PC and the WLAN card, I also found some oddities. My feeling is that the configuration settings in Network Configuration window seems a bit unrelated to the behavior of the system. Here is a summary of what I found:
1) The WMP54G/RaLink does neither work rightly after installation of Fedora-10-i386, and nor after updating it.
2) The WMP54G/RaLink device worked rightly after installation of Fedora-9-i386, but not after updating it.
3) It seems strange to me that there is no wlan0 entry in the Network Configuration window, neither for fc9 nor for fc10. (There is an eth0 entry though.) It feels even stranger that the systems connects anyway over wireless, even though there is no wlan0 entry, both for fc9 and fc10.
4) After having manually added wlan0 in Network Configuration window, it seems strange to me that the system tries to connect via wlan0, e.g. after a restart and login even though nothing is checked in the Wireless Device Configuration window for wlan0. (I believe this oddity is valid for eth0 too).
5) For Fedora 10, I get prompted to save the network configuration even in the case nothing has been changed.
Fedora Networking :: F9 And RT2500 - Card Works But No IP Address
Mar 30, 2009I have an auxillary laptop that I use with Fedora 9 on it. Up until now, I have been using wireless just fine with a an old Marvell card. A friend needed a wireless card, so I gave it to her because I had a spare Belkin card (PCMIA) with a RT2500 chipset. This chipset has been supported in Fedora for a long time, and it does it fact work but it will not obtain an IP address and disconnects from the Network Manager upon every attempt to connect.. I get an error that says "set bit rate" failed and I cannot get assigned an IP address from my router.
I do not use encryption. Nothing I have tried with sysconfig-network has had any affect.
iwlist scan finds the router just fine with a good signal, but will not connect.
Ubuntu Networking :: Gigabit Card Only Works On 100 MBit
Apr 14, 2010I have bought two Asus NX1101 gigabit cards for my kubuntu box and ubuntu server box. The cards are automatically detected as eth1. However the speed is set to 100mbit instead of 1gbit.
ifconfig eth1 .....

I noticed that both lshw and ethtool claim that the card does not support 1000mbit. So changing the speed manually with ethtool doesn't work. In windows XP the card works as it should.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless 802.11n Card That Works Out Of Box For 9.04 / Jaunty?

Networking :: Broadcom Card Works But Sensitivity Reduced?
Feb 28, 2010I have a Broadcom based PCMCIA wifi card that works great on an older kernel in Debian after a friend of mine did the fwcutter business.
I just installed Backtrack 4 release version on another laptop. While this card works right out of the box the sensitivity is greatly reduced. The built in wifi card (Intel chipset) can see twice as many APs at any given time.
Now, I know that Broadcom chipsets are not the best but this card normally has fantastic sensitivity and Tx power plus an external antenna connector so I really need to get it working properly. When it's working properly under Linux or Windows it blows the competition away.
Slackware :: Good Wireless Card That Works With System Out Of Box?
Mar 7, 2011I have an older laptop (Dell Inspiron 4100) on which I have installed a minimal Slackware system, and have just managed to get wireless working by using a Linksys Wireless-G card (WPC54GS) and installing the b43 packages from the SlackBuilds site.
Unfortunately, I am experiencing system freezes ... and if my Google searches are correct, these are related to the firmware driver (b43 stuff).
I wonder if anyone can recommend a good wireless card that works with Slackware out of the box ?
