I have installed Kubuntu 9.04 on my ex Mandriva USB swing device and after a shaky start all works ok (at this point i have removed the windows hard drive and using the USB device)
Now i need to use the Internet, I have a Telstra Mobile Bigpond wireless broadband USB device which is great for windows, but i want to use it on kubuntu if i can.
I have been using Telstra Bigpond Wireless Broadband USB Internet for about 12 months on my Laptop with Windows Vista Operating System.
I also have an Eee PC Notebook (Linux Operating System)that previously connected to the Internet via Desktop Wireless Modem.
The problem I have now is trying to connect to the internet on my Linux Notebook using Telstra Bigpond Wireless Broadband USB.
I have phoned Telstra Technical Assistance and the told me they cannot help me because the Operating System is Linux.
I need help on how to install Telstra Bigpond Mobile broadband . The dongel is a ZTE model MF633BP+ Mobile Card. I have tried with Ubuntu 10.10, 10.04 and 9.10 but all I can get is a message saying it is disconnected. The computer is a modified Optima with a new motherboard, RAM and power supply with a 120GB hard drive.The hard drive is empty so which of the Ubuntu models suits a geriatic old fart of 67 like me who has only low computer skills.
PS I think I have also sent this request to a wrong address on these forums.
I've clean installed over a friend's win98 with Mint 7 (disc from lab a year? or so ago).
My Optus modem prompted the wizard and now always works fine,ok speed, and I updated Mint with 300 new files etc.
But my friend's new Telstra Turbo modem,[Sierra brand] although it shows a blue light flashing, doesn't get the wizard connection process started, and there's just NO sign on Mint that it's plugged in.
If I can get it to work, it will increase the number of people I know who use linux to 1.
How can I connect to a hidden wireless network on Kubuntu? I have 9.10 64bit installed, and have the information for the network (e.g. SSID and key) because I've already connected to it on Windows.

View 2 Replies View RelatedYet another Linux newbie with wireless problems I'm afraid. I saw some postings that appear very similar but I don't have any Linux experience and don'h to make uncontrolled changes to the environment without expert advice.Background: I have an old laptop (HP Pavilion dv9000) with Vista installed and a troubled history (overheating motherboard failure), so I put it on the shelf and replaced it with a new Windows 7 laptop (Dell Studio 1555). But I have been intrigued by the Ubuntu reviews and thought I would dig out the old laptop and install Kubuntu 11.04 (replacing the 2 Vista partitions with a single Kubuntu partition).
Kubuntu installation was easy and I am impressed by the Kubuntu interface, but I soon noticed that it was not detecting my wireless router, which works fine for everything else (Dell, Sony Bravia TV and also an internet radio). The wired connection is okay (using it now) so I guessed the problem was Kubuntu notognising the Broadcom BCM4311.The network interface tool shows the wired connection but the Wireless tab is greyed out.I also installed Wicd Network Manager but that just confirmed what I knew.I noticed other threads have asked for the lspci and lsusb details so here they are:
lspci
00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2)
00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 0 (rev a2)
[code]...
I have Kubuntu installed under windows 7. It finds my wireless connection and says i am connected. even with a wired connection it does the same. When i go to the web browser and try it out. says problem with connection. will include some pictures of "iwconfig" and others.
View 4 Replies View RelatedGreetings from Arizona, USA:Is there a true plug-and-play USB wireless adapter that is known to work well with Ubuntu 11.04 (32-bit)? Background: * HP Pavilion zv6000 or zv6100 (Older notebook being used for business purposes. It came with Windows XP Home Edition.)* Installed Ubuntu 11.04 (32-bit)* PROBLEM: Don't have WiFi as well as another item or so. Novice Ubuntu user.* Ran this in terminal: sudo lspci* 03:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless Lan Controller (rev 03)I have not performed a lot of research on this problem, but what little I've done tells me I could spend a fair amount of time trying to get WiFi to work on this notebook.If a user-tested, literal plug-and-play USB wireless adapter exists for Ubuntu 11.04, it might be cheaper time-wise to just buy it rather than try to get my existing hardware to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless cable modem/router and a PCI-E 1x wireless card in my desktop PC. It works perfectly until I connect my Ethernet cable to my local router and printer, no more internet connection. I am guessing there is a setting somewhere that tells the networking software that the hard wire connection is the primary internet gateway. How do I tell it to use the wireless as the primary gateway?

I recently received my Kubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition Install CD and I'm trying to install it to dual boot with Windows 7. I used Wubi and it gave me two options: Install inside from Windows, and Demo and Full Installation. I picked Demo and Full Install and tried to install from inside the Kubuntu Demo. When I do and it gets to the "Disk" section of the install, it gives me two options to install. The first option is to erase and partition the whole drive, which I understand as it would erase my whole hard drive and partition the whole thing for Kubuntu, not allowing me to use Win7. The second option was to manually select partitions, but since I'm a noob to this, I dont know how to set partitions. I need to know how to install Kubuntu where I can dual-boot with my Win7.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know my question is quite essential and some how very abc but i really need your help. I'm just a newbie for Linux.
My problem are:
Hardware: Laptop 6735b from HP
Source of problem: ATI graphic driver not installed
Problem:
1. Freeze Operating system when power unplug (in Gnome)
2. Can not start any Operating system with full or just part of KDE (Kubuntu, Linux mint). Thus i have to stuck with pure Gnome like Ubuntu. ==> install Ubuntu ==> install ATI graphic driver ==> install KDE ==> swap to Kubuntu in Ubuntu.
I tried a lot of OS and none will work. I think the only way for me is create a install version of Kubuntu with ATI driver already build in so at least i can start my OS.Thus could somebody feel free guide me in step by step to build a install disc for Kubuntu. All i need is add up in setup process ATI driver install.
I am trying to install Firefox 3.6 in the tr.bz2 format on Kubuntu. How do I get it to install? Is there a way to do it using add/remove programs and the Adept installer or do I need to use the command line. If I need to use the command line what do I need to do to get it installed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to dual boot kubuntu. I am a linux noob so have basically no experience with linux except what i have done of the live cd. My problem is that when I get to the part of the installer relating to partitions. It wont allow me to select the free space I have shrunk off my windows/data partition. it calls the space unusable and will not allow me to proceed when it is selected. Shouldn't the installer turn the free space into a partition for kubuntu to install to? The installer also show a bar wich marks off the partitions and how much each one takes up it does recongnize that there is free space because it tells me that I have 25 gb free.

I've got a telstra MF 636 modem that I've been trying to make work in Ubuntu 10.10.
Telstra have the modem report itself as a CD when it is first plugged in, but I've found out how to get around that using the terminal in the telstra software.
Anyway, my problem is that the computer will not recognise that the modem is plugged in. lsusb reports it as there, but the access point does not appear under the network icon 99 percent of the time. On the rare occasion it does, I click it, and it tries to connect, with the little animation and all, but it just disconnects.
I have a DSL modem with four ports and a built-in wireless router downstairs. It works great: I have wired Ethernet for my PCs downstairs (all plugged in directly to the DSL modem); my son has great wireless access upstairs (using the built-in wireless in his laptop). PROBLEM: I want to add another, desktop, PC upstairs. I've been trying to use wireless, with a plug-in a Linksys USB stick. It doesn't work worth crap.
I'm considering a) getting another phone jack upstairs, and moving my DSL modem there, or b) stringing some CAT-5 cable from the modem downstairs to the PC upstairs. Putting a wireless PCI card in my upstairs desktop PC might also solve the problem, but the PC only has one PCI slot, and I'd rather keep it free, if at all possible.
QUESTION: Is there any kind of "wireless repeater", where I can a) get wireless access from my DSL modem/wireless base station downstairs, and b) give me some spare Ethernet ports, so I can plug in desktop PC (so the PC can have a wired Ethernet connection)? POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I have an old Linksys WRT54G router that I'm not using. Q: Is there any way to configure it for this purpose? Q: Would it be possible to use it for this purpose if I installed OpenWRT?
Got an old SUSE box from a friend, installed 11.3, got a few items: 1. didn't see any prompts to enter monitor info during install, control center shows as generic. Read about 'sax2' (hope that's right) but can't find it on my system or in the add-ons image. Do I need to hack monitor.conf? how? 2. installation aborted when trying to load 'textlive'.3. going into control center->mouse, the display quivers a little then I get kicked back out to the login prompt. 4. how to get kaffeine to process flv files? 5. how to get a flash drive to automount when I plug it in? I can manually mount ok. I guess that's about all for now.
