I have recently created a website that I have added a way to install the newer ATI cards into Ubuntu 10.04. Here is the website for more information. Just to let you know it is a lot easier than most people are making it out to be.
View 14 RepliesI am using ubuntu 10.10, and I have to install win7 alongside for work, but when I inserted the disc, and started setup. It prompted me to insert the proper driver for my dvd drive. I researched the problem, and apparently it's a problem with Driver Signature Enforcement. To get past it, your suposed to reboot, and hit f8 to go to the startup menu, and disable the check drivers option, but in ubuntu I dont get that option, I think f8 opens grub or something. Is their any solution to this problem that you have encountered? I have done research, and I cant find anything,

Need to install b43 driver to use monitor mode on my card - versions are compatible, I ran
Code:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
As told, but instructions end there. Pressed yes to download and extract firmware. Do I need to activate this driver somehow?
Info on wireless card:

I have a Creative Xi-Fi sound card. There is a driver installed currently, but unless my sound is at 100%, everything sounds distorted. My first inclination, as a Windows user, would be to update the driver. So, I downloaded the driver from their site in the form of a .tar.gz. I followed the guide here: [URL] But, as soon as I get to the step where I actually compile it (make), I get errors.
Code:

Since my windows HDD died, I have been permanently on ubuntu but i never got my printer set up. Its a friday night and now ive got some time on my hands! Ive found the drivers for my printer (Cannon MP 210) but i have no idea what to do with the files. The file for the scanner is a .tgz file, and the printer driver is a .tar file. When i connected my printer a few minutes ago, ubuntu 10.10 brought me to the installation and i installed and older printers driver (mp 180) but the scanner wont work and a bit of excess ink is on the test paper.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I've been having problems with the internet whilst using Ubuntu 10.10 (Dual booting with Windows Vista Home Premium x32). The problem is I simply can't use my internet (can't connect and the option doesn't show up). At first it said (using wireless internet by the way), firmware missing. After playing around for a bit, I managed to get a option to install my internet card driver (Broadcom).
As I try to install it says this:
Code:
SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock This is really frustrating me as I need the internet on it.
i am running T43 Thinkpad box with Ubuntu 11.04. we have a canon network printer model i-SENSYS MF4570dn printer, and i am trying to install the UFR II driver which i downloaded from canon website. the problem i am facing is that when i install the driver with gdebi i receive error message saying: Dependency is not satisfiable: gs-esp.i tried to install ge-eps but it is not part of the repository for 11.04
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been snooping around on the forums for a couple of hours now looking for a straightforward guide to installing custom wireless drivers. I have a new Airlink101 AWLH6075 wireless card (and no ethernet connectivity.) The Linux drivers are the RT2860 Ralink drivers in a .tar, which I have on a different computer.
So -- I'm on Server (command-line only), 64-bit, no working internet. Btw, the wifi card works fine on my alternate boot of Windows. wlan0 (wlan1?) is not detected during installation.
So, I know I need to:
1. mount the usb drive I'm storing the file(s) on
2. put those files in my local Linux directory
3. somehow install them
4. (disable my old ethernet connection?)
5. enable my new wlan0 and set up dhcp and the WEP login.
[Code]...
I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with any of these things. I don't even know how to mount a USB stick in command-line... but obviously the internet connectivity (and thus driver installation) is the major issue here and I can find out most of the other stuff on my own.
i downloaded madwifi0.9.4 because my laptop has an atheros wifi card sadly i am new to linux so do not understand how to build a driver and just downloaded the software add-on windows wireless drivers but could not find an inf file then i see i have to build the thing myself from the kernel. well i am a win7 user wanting desperately to only have to use windows for playing games and do all my work on something more secure and would like to be able to use my laptop in a coffee shop etc.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am on a desktop that depends on a USB wireless adapter for it's internet, and I need to install the driver for it. I have downloaded the driver via another computer and isolated the .inf, .sys, and .bin files for the driver, and am trying to install ndiswrapper in order install the driver. the problem is I cannot get ndiswrapper to install, the 'make' command pulls in a laundry list of errors along with the 'make install' command. Is there something I'm missing? I have managed to update the kernel via another computer running the latest kernel, but still receive errors.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got tired of not being able to run any 3D apps on my integrated Intel and went out and came home with a ATi Radeon HD 4650. Skip the bit about how I could have gotten an nVidia (they didn't have any HTPC compatible low-profile nVidias on shelf).
Actually the card works very well, it runs all the 3D apps I've thrown at it so far (and quite a bit faster too).
My problem is with video playback: it is jerky. The framerate stalls and then speeds up and is out of sync. When not out of sync, there is tearing. Yes I have tried turning Compiz off, didn't do anything. Weird thing is the CPU utilization is really low, so everything should be working.
I figured I would update the video drivers to the latest available on ATi website (following the instructions here) but I've ran into trouble with the installer:
Code:
How do I proceed from here? If you've got a fix for the video with the drivers in the repositories that is cool also. I don't necessarily need the latest drivers.
I am trying to install the video driver for my hp a1010n. The video device is a 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics. I have seen a few sites that have referenced this but they were not written for new users and I could not figure out how to install it. I am fairly adept at usage of computers (mostly Windows OS) but am not yet familiar with Ubuntu so I am aware of the absolute basics... I am just not sure what commands to use in the terminal and etc.. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I am having problems installing the graphics driver (from the Nvidia website) for my Nvidia Vanta card on Ubuntu 10.04. I disabled X via terminal and then I ran a Virtual Console. With the virtual console I ran the chmod command and the went through the installation. It did bring up a message with something about my distro not having a pre-configured script (or something like that) and asked me if I would like to continue anyway. I choose Yes and the installation failed.

10.10) now, and only use windows as my DVR (what im currently trying to change). To that end, i have a Hauppauge 2250 video capture card, and Steven at KernalLabs has an alpha release that has been said to work very well with mythTV.
Anyways, i followed one of the posts and successfully compiled the driver using "sudo make menuconfig." I attempted to install with the "make install" command, and the first half of the driver seemed to install and the second half (firmware related) received errors.

just installed 10.10 on my Sony Vaio F laptop. Here's my specs:Processor: Intel Core i7 720QM (1.6 GHz)Memory: 6 GB DDR3 (1333 MHZ)Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 330M (1 GB VRAM)Hard Drive: 500 GB (7200 rpm)Native Resolution: 1920x1080I shrunk my Windows partition, installed Ubuntu on it's own partition with swap space, and mostly everything went fine. When I booted up, the resolution was set at something like 2048x1536, and it only displayed the top left corner of about 70% of the screen. When I changed to any other resolution, it looked really bad, and the whole screen still wasn't displayed.
Then something popped up telling me to install a driver for my graphics card, so I did, figuring it would fix the problem. When I booted and picked Ubuntu, I was stuck with a black screen. So I restarted and tried booting into safe mode. I got in, and it displayed the whole screen at 800x600. Still no luck in regular mode, however.
I just recently recieved a Mini CQ10-525DX with a Broadcom 4313 wlan card. when loading ubuntu i notice it says that it supports 4311 4312, so i looked on the broadcom website and they have a newer update with 4313 coverage. I downloaded it but do not know how to install it.

what am i supposed to do? i have some driver installed by default, i can utilize compiz just fine, play videos on ..... at 1080p just fine, play World of Warcraft almost smooth, i believe that if that driver is installed, it will be even better, but im afraid that if i install it, my resolution will automatically change to something large and my monitor will go NO SIGNAL
