Hardware :: Trouble With Laptop Keyboard On Packard Bell EasyNote R4
Jul 22, 2010
I'm having trouble with the keyboard on the Packard Bell EasyNote R4. I'm using the standard xorg driver that gets configured by the Debian Lenny installer and the problem is that the keys sometimes generate weird keycodes or something, causing unwanted behaviour of the window manager (XFCE 4.4) such as creating a new terminal window or shading windows. Could the keyboard be faulty or does someone know of a driver that would work better with this model?
My brother installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a Packard Bell Easynote NJ65. He has a wired home connection, which seems not to be working now. It was working with the same machine under Vista. What are the first places I should look? Any hints or clues or people with similar issues would be most welcome.
I'm using a Packard Bell Easynote Tn36 laptop, and I'm having trouble with Ubuntu 10.10 and the wireless network card, (probably because of lack of driver). I.e. it is disabled.
I have Packard Bell easynote tn36 and I used to use ubuntu 10.10 and then when I upgrad it to ubuntu 11.04 the wireless doesn't work (disable) and I can't press the botton of Enable wireless.
I cannot install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Packard Bell EasyNote MZ35. Version 9.04 was OK. After the installation I get a black screen? I installed 9.04 again.
The graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT220) was not detected at startup, but the open source driver function quite good. The display (TFT-LCD Monitor HP 2009v 20") has a good resolution altough the screen resolution is smaller than expected, and a frequency of 70Hz (that would be correct to 60Hz). There's no problem, I have found a tool for install NVIDIA drivers in 1-click: NVIDIA - openSUSE (with the official owner NVIDIA driver the display resolution is 1600x900 and the frequency is 50Hz).
The only problem I have found is that sometimes (specially if I open many applications) when I press the shut down or reboot button, the OS logout me instead shut down or reboot itself. When I login again, I can shut down or reboot without any kind of problems (is it a problem of stack?). But the most worrying aspect is that, altough I installed the official owner NVIDIA driver, sometimes when I login again the video shows me only wavy lines.
I have upgraded my laptop to 10.04 while having my usb-keyboard plugged in.f I boot the laptop without a plugged in keyboard, the laptop keyboard is not working. It starts working as soon as I plug a usb-keyboard in though.Quite annoying if I take my laptop with me and the first thing after booting is to find a usb-keyboard to plug in Does anyone know where can I reconfigure this? [edit]I just found out, that the laptop keyboar seems to be in numlock mode... meaning that the keys [j,k,l] is mapped to [1,2,3] etc
got a new laptop (well, it's 2nd hand) but it's a laptop which is the model up from mine i use suse on already. i have a HP compaq 6720s, and the new one is a HPS 6735s. i've downloaded and burned the 11.4 iso as an image but it just won't load. thought it was maybe corrupt but it works on my laptop which is already running suse. checked in the BIOS and it doesn't seem to mention boot from dvd drive, though it does say cd drive (but it's definitely a dvd drive).
is it possible to install from a usb pen drive? if so, how? fat32 won't take it, as it's too big a file, and will just putting the .iso file on there mean it'll work? what file system should i use? ntfs, ext3/4?
Running OpenSuse 11.2 from live dvd. When it starts up, the screen gets filled with vertical green and black lines, with about a 1 inch square in the middle that moves as the cursor. Nothing else is visible.I've tried each of the video options, with the same result. Is there any solution to this?
I was given a Samsung SMB 2330 (TFT) monitor for Christmas. It is pretty nice and nice and big. Here is the problem: when I connect it to my laptop (Dell XPS M1530 with nVidia GeForce 8600M) I can use the Nvidia Settings Manager to view and use both screens, but on the Samsung screen there are lighter colored blurry lines that race up and down. You don't see this so much on lighter windows, but any darker color shows them clearly. This is a constant whether I set the refresh rate on "auto" or 60 kH (which is what the manufacturer says it should be).I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of this problem. I am fair to middling on my Linux experience, but this is the first time I have wrestled with dual monitors and I'd really appreciate any pointers The screen is great, but the flicker is distracting to say the least.
I've just installed Ubuntu desktop 10.10 on a Fujitsu Amilo laptop but it does not see any wireless network. It recognizes the wireless card but I don't know how to activate it or whether the drivers are already installed..
One of the big problems I'm having is with the Network Adapter. It won't work with Ubuntu or any Ubuntu based distros. Backtrack 4 won't even start for me (there's a problem with the ACPI, and I'm not sure how to turn it off on Backtrack). Is there any distribution that I won't have to mess with the Kernels too much (I tried Gentoo, but that was a bit over my head)
So, help me through getting my audio working properly on my Toshiba Satellite A105-S2081 Laptop. I think I've been through most of the help messages and tried many things to get it working correctly. The ONLY thing that has helped is to go to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and change model=auto to model=generic. (options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N model=generic)
I've tried model=toshiba, model=auto, model=lenovo, model=3stack, model=dallas and the laptops internal sound device disappears from the list of sound devices. If I plug in my Logitech Headset, it seems to work fine.It also seems to work fine if I boot it up into XP SP3.It does work now generally with model=generic, but not sure that everything works properly, like the headset & microphone jack. (Actually the reason I have the Logitech Headset is because the headset jack doesn't work).
I am trying to get Ubuntu10.04 working on a packardbell easynote r1004 but the wireless device is not being recognised. I have ethernet working and have tried updating.It had found a hardware driver for a software modem..
i recently installed ubuntu on my lenovo Y500 laptop and later found that my laptops keyboard is not working. But when i tried using ubuntu before installing it via my pendrive everything seemed to work perfectly.
Just bought a laptop Packard Bell Easynote TJ61 with an internal sound card Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa) and successfully installed Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. Only problem was that the microphone (internal and external) was not working in all applications (soundrecorder, audacity, skype etc). Output audio (eg- Rythmbox) worked fine with ALSA and PulseAudio.
Tried a LOT of stuff, but the decisive move was to add: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=laptop to the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and reboot.
I just reinstalled Debian 8.3.0 "Jessie" on my laptop using KDE as the desktop environment instead of GNOME. Using GNOME I had no problems with the keyboard or mousepad but now changing to KDE my keyboard and mousepad won't work. It was obviously working fine during the install but now won't work once I login my desktop. I'm using a USB keyboard and mouse in the meantime.
I've tried going into System Settings->Input Devices->Keyboard and changing the keyboard model. Originally it had installed by default as "Generic 101-key PC", and I tried swapping to "Asus Laptop" but that made no difference. I tried a few other random keyboard models but that didn't make a difference either.
My laptop model is an: ASUS U40SD.
Any commands I can type into bash that could track down the problem.
I was going to render the video that i made last night, and then in the morning, My ubuntu 10.10 boot normally, but when in the Ubuntu plymouth(the ubuntu logo with 5 dots) showed,there are text told me like this Code:Keys: Press S to skip Mounting or M for manual Recoverysince that moment my keyboard and touchpad are not working, but ifi use an external keyboard and mouse it would working flawlessly, note that i don't have an external keyboard.i'm trying to boot into recovery mode, my keyboard is working very good, but i don't have any idea what is the problem.
I've just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, and when I'm on vim, I can use arrow key normally in command mode, but in editing mode, if I use them, it print a letter, capital case + new line and doesn't move the cursor.
In putty I would try to play with the different type of keyboard settings (ESC[~, Linux, Xterm R6, VT400 etc...), but here, I don't know what to do.
At the installation time, I choose French/French keyboard.

It's said to have GRUB2 by default, but at boot time it says Grub 1.97 beta...
I tried to use the automatic upgrade to version 10 last night on my Acer Aspire 8930G. Everything seemed to work fine until I got to the reboot. At the reboot it tells me that it is running in low resolution mode because the nvidia drivers have been removed. That is fine except I cannot hit the enter button to accept the message either using the laptop keyboard or by restarting and using a USB keyboard.
I have a dual boot with windows and I'm averse to just reinstalling ubuntu because there is some data which would be annoying to lose.
I have an Asus K6LIC laptop. In Windows if I press function+F9, it toggles my touchpad on and off. I'm wondering if I can get this functionality in Ubuntu 10.10. All other function keys work, except for this one. The only thing I can find is to permanently disable the touchpad, which is not what I want to do.
I am running Ubuntu on an Acer 5742 laptop and running XP on Oracle Virtual box and plugged in externally (keyboard, mouse etc...) I have lost ability on both the laptop numeric keyboard (only the numeric keys) and the external keyboard when plugged in. This happened while I was working in Virtual box and running Windows XP.
When the laptop is on its own the numeric keyboard doesn't work (only numeric keys) either. I have toyed with the number lock and I have un-installed and re-installed both"keyboard input methods" and "input method switcher" within Ubuntu software centre to with no change. Not that I bought the damn computer for the numeric keyboard but it should work.
I'm not sure if the forum hardware is the appropriate one... Excuse me if it isn't. I've a laptop fujitsu with a broken keyboard. I need to modify some BIOS parameters, but without ps2 port, I can't access in it. The a usb keyboard is not recognized.
what is the best/easiest way to install a all-in-one device from Hewlett Packard (hp)?Is there a way/makes it sence to set it up via Yast? I do not know why this wiki.How to set-up a HP printer - openSUSE.shout be "obsolete" (at least not for all-in-one printers).And for "only" printers: Is there an other way including bidirectional communication (ink etc.?).
