View 2 Replies View Relateduntil recently, my CD/DVD-RW drive(from TsstCorp) on my Hp 530 lappy used work fine. But now, (I dunno why,), the drive is not showing up ANYWHERE... not even in boot menu... The power supply is fine as i can open the drive and can also hear the typical Cd-dvd drive noises after inserting a disc...I am totally lost now and would really appreciate ANY help... again,... the drive is not showing up ANYWHERE... not in any file manager.
thanks in advance for replying and in real time for viewing

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently acquired an HP2133 netbook. It comes with SUSE 10 enterprise desktop pre-installed. WI-FI was working fine, though a slight pain for asking for the key every time. I thought I would apply all updates I could find and that may improve my networking.Having applied all I can find the wi-fi is now broken.If I use YaST I can see the Broadcom internal device seems to remain recognised, it even has the configuration I set for my wi-fi network access.The problem seems to be the NetManager applet, which denies all knowledge of wi-fi now and only has wired (which is working).Ironically the update causing the failure was applied wirelessly.I am slightly at a loss how best to proceed - I was going to cut my losses and make another boot partition with Ubuntu, but the live CD I made failed to run so that I could make a flash boot version, I shall have to return to that.
I have also now discovered that SUSE 10 is a bit long in the tooth - I sort of assumed it was current, given I bought the machine recently. So I'm wondering if it would be best to take the hit and reformat completely? I know it is broadcom, so should not be a problem, and I have been through ndiswrapper and the like in the past, though somehow I seem to have forgotten all about it now!I was happy enough with the SUSE setup and this is highly annoying as I was only updating to fix an annoyance and now the wifi has been broken... Perhaps there is an alternative applet to the netmanager that may play with the card and allow me to connect to networks?I look forward to recommendations, at this time my primary objective is to restore wifi functionality, longer term perhaps I need to review distro and installation, but I should like to do that on a dual boot basis I think
I have Slackware(x32) 13.1 installed on my computer. Everything runs just fine except it doesn't seem my wireless card.I looked around and found a driver on the Realtek website. But, after I installed it, linux wouldn't boot. It would just hang. The driver did help my get the card detected, though.
On lspci, I found:
02:00.0 [Realtek company name here] RTL8101E/RTL8102E
03:00.0 [Realtek company name here] Device 8172
On windows, it said I had RTL8191SE. I am confused as to which card I have and which driver I need.I reinstalled the driver and rebooted. I then turned off my ether card via bios. Then I rebooted. Linux then booted just perfectly. However, I couldn't get the wireless to work. I was freaking and then left to go do something else with my hands. Then I realized I had the card turned off.
I mentally punched myself. >.>
As an introduction to the problem I'm having: For a long time, I've been on 9.04 and my wireless worked quite happily. Then when I upgraded to 9.10, to my despair I found that my laptop no longer detects my wireless driver! Before I go on, I should also say I'm rather inexperienced with Ubuntu in general, despite having used it for quite some time.
Anyway, onto the informational part: I'm using a Compaq Presario CQ40. According to lspci, my wireless network card details are as follows:
Code:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
lsusb shows the following:
Code:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 03f0:171d Hewlett-Packard Wireless (Bluetooth + WLAN) Interface [Integrated Module]

I have just installed Centos 5 on my HP Proliant ML110 G5 Server. At the install time it could not detect my DVD-ROM drive so I installed it using FTP hoping that it will make it work after installation but nope. My system is running but I cannot see ant DVD-ROM drive on my system.
It's really critical, I have lots of software to install from DVDs and actually I am relying on a shared DVD-ROM drive from another machine and it's quite slowing me.
I'm new here especially in Debian . A couple days ago i was try to install stable release of debian lenny. But it's unsuccessful because my network adapter isn't detected or debian can't find a correct driver for it.Is there any way to skip that kind of stuff? It's mean that because i'm not using the network adapter either ( I'm using broadband connection USB ). And the CD 1 is contained gnome already right?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu 10.4 on Dell Precision 4300 . I have two DVDs .One is player that works okay, but the system does not recognize the other one ,which is MSI DVD writer. Those are both ATA connected on same line .

I can't see MSI on your hardware compatibility list. Is it not useable with Linux ?
Open two different instances of OpenOffice Writer (two separate entries on the task bar). In one of them type the word test and highlight it and leave it that way. Now using the mouse pointer try switching between these two different OpenOffice Writers on the task bar. There shouldn't be much of a switching delay if any, going either way.
Now go to the OpenOffice Writer with "test" highlighted. Hit the <ctrl>C (copy) key about five times rapidly, then immediately click the mouse on the other OpenOffice Writer on the task bar. I am seeing up to a 5 second dead time delay between switching. There is no "busy" indication from the mouse pointer. The mouse pointer moves, but any clicks will not take effect during the 5 second delay, then any mouse clicks quickly take effect in a cascade after the delay is over.
Sometimes Klipper looses the <ctrl>C (copy) "test" text (Klipper still displays it its history) and refuses to <ctrl>V (paste) "test" any longer. When Klipper reaches this state a single <ctrl>C (copy) of "test" will cause the up to 5 second delay when switching.
The delay is only noticeable if you immediately switch on the task bar. If I do the copies and simply wait at least 5 seconds before switching, there is no delay. So, the switching itself isn't the cause.
I have reproduced this on PCs in a 32 bit 11.2 install and a 64 bit 11.2 install. Both installs are KDE 4.3.3 release 3 repos. Either this long delay shouldn't be happening or the mouse should at least do its busy indication thing and not act like everything is normal when it isn't.

In spite of the fact that the printer set-up is working with the Gimp and other more involved print-capable programs.
The printer is a Dell 3100cn color laser printer.
The best driver I found was one I got off of Dell's site - it was an RPM that I aliased (I'm using Debian lenny).
I set Openoffice Writer's printer configuration to "letter."
I check the settings in the print pop-up before I print.
And then the printer asks me for A4 paper.
How do I make it so that when I add lines to a page, it doesn't make the text on the next page move further down?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter my last online system update, ubuntu 10.10.1 (pre-release) now crashes and the last thing written to the screen is "starting nbd client service" so I am trying to burn a copy of the new 10.10 final DVD on my Suse 11.2 install to try to recover or reinstall ubu.
With a stock install of suse 11.2/64 bit, k3b does a system config probe and finds 'no cd/dvd writer found'. My writer worked fine on the now-comatose ubuntu.
If I put in an ubuntu 10.10.1 cd, it finds it and mounts it:
Brasero just says that there is no available disk. When I insert the black cd, I see the popup telling me that there are 2 choices to handle the disk, one of them is k3b. Then k3b says that there are no cd/dvd writers found.
I read some fixes about adding me to the CDROM and DISK groups, but I don't have either.
Now, it won't eject either with the button or with the eject command:
It's an LG blu-ray burner. It is my primary boot device and I have used it to boot to and load many iso images.
Time for the old paperclip trick...
I would hate to have to load the same buggy beta system and have it crash again after the next update.
Now, my blu-ray drive is dead. I tried putting a blank dvd into my old burner and I get the same k3b error message.

I don't often use a full word processor, but the Mrs has started to do some freelancing and needs one. I told her that that OO was every bit as good as Microsoft Word.... In OO virtually NONE of the menu options have hotkey combos.. Are they always user defined? F'rinstance, no hotkey for word count, or even option to put a button on toolbar? She is threatening to start booting to Windows!!!
