Hardware :: Wireless Mouse Does Not Detect Under Red Hat 4.7 Workstation?
May 30, 2010
We've a Dell precision workstation installed with RHEL 4.7 and connected with wireless mouse and keyboard. There is a bluetooth dongle connected to the workstation which works fine for keyboard, but not mouse. I tried rebooting several times and try changing the battries of the mouse and even replaced with another wireless mouse, but still it wont detect the mouse under linux.It is a Dell mouse and keyboard. why it should works only with keyboard but not with the mouse, should I need any drivers to be loaded?Can someone please suggest how to fix this? I tried restarting bluetooth services and also run hci-tool but nothing works
I am looking to set my laptop up as a wireless AP which will allow various clients to connect to the wireless nic (wlan0), then funnel traffic to the wired nic (eth0), then on to the router, modem and Internet. I followed this guide and while I've gotten about halfway to my desired results, I've run into a wall.
I have made the changes to /etc/network/interfaces, and have successfully run the nat.sh script (or so I thought). Upon restarting my networking, the wireless AP is available, or at least appears to be. However, the laptop is unable to ping the router or Internet hosts via eth0, and when I connect to the AP, I pull a 169.x.x.x IP address, not the expected 192.168.1.xx address.
My modified /etc/network/interfaces:
Code: # Loopback Interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback #Wired Interface auto eth0
I have run into a problem with a existing workstation I can't seem to figure out. My configuration:Ubuntu 10.10 64 ASUS M2N68-AM Plus MB w/ Nvidia Geforce 7025 graphics.Has been running for almost exactly one year beautifully. System suddenly froze. When I rebooted, system stopped with message saying it could not detect graphics or KB or mouse. I suspected hardware failure but when I booted from live CD, It ran fine. I then ran e2fsck -c and found no bad blocks but 1 messed up inode which it fixed.
I assume at this point the only problem is some lost configuration on video. I first tried apt-get nvidia drivers. this got rid of the message but now X will not start because of "no valid modes". Tried running nvidia-xconfig but it exits without changing anything.All user files seem to be OK. I'm not going to have to nuke this thing just to restore X am I?
Just installed 10.10 on my desktop. It wont detect any usb mouse that i plug in. I have tried 5. I dont know any commands to use to enable this. I also dont know how to use ubuntu without a mouse.
I have upgraded from 5.2 to 5.4....I now have no mouse xorg can't detect it. Strange how the mouse works on all my other PC and in 5.2 but now it doesen't
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice logips2pp: Detected unknown logitech mouse model 1
I have created a generic file /etc/sysconfig/mouse
I tried to do a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04, but when I get to the screen if I want to test or install Ubuntu, the keyboard and mouse (bluetooth) don't work. I tried to resync the peripherals, I disconnected usb connector base of the tower and putting it back but nothing works for me. I have a Logitech Desktop MX 5000 (Bluetooth).
at start, knetworkmanager detect wireless network, but doesn't automatically connect - I have to restart it to make it work properly. Instead, it gives that error:
I just got myself a Dell Inspiron 1440. And decided to install my favorite distro Debian. I got the installation to go with no issue and all seems to be working fine. However the wireless isn't working. NetworkManager doesnt even detect a wireless card. I followed the instructions here and installed the b43-fwcutter and then issued the modprobe b43 and modprobe b43legacy commands. Then I issued the iwconfig command and this was the output.

Also, I've been doing some research and found out about some file located /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. So I looked in mine and found out that only my eth0 is added.
I started playing with Natty Narwhal (11.04) last week. I have a Toshiba Portege R700 laptop with 4GB of memory. Firstly, let me say that when I run 11.04 on the bare metal laptop (installed via WUBI) it appears to work flawlessly. That is, both the ethernet (hard wired) network and the wifi network work just fine.The networking problem occurs when I try to run 11.04 as a (Type 2) VM in VMWare workstation with an underlying o/s of Windows 7 Enterprise.
In this mode, the ethernet network works fine but the wireless network does not work. The o/s does not even see the wireless card. I have downloaded and installed about 216 MB of updates from the update center to no avail. I have "bridged" the VMWare "virtual switch" across to both the ethernet port and the wireless port (see below):Basically, it appears that the interface is not being presented to the VM.Also, of interest, Unity which works fine on the bare metal install does not run on the Ubuntu 11.04 VM.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L550 laptop with Suse 11.3 dual booting with Windows 7. Windows can detect the built in wireless card but not Suse, what can I do to get the wireless recognized in Suse.
I am running Vista on my C: drive and I just got Fedora 11. I planned to dual boot Vista and fedora 11. I Downloaded the Live CD from the site (680 +- MB) and burned the files IN the .iso file to an empty DVD and CD. Shrank my D: drive and now have about 27 GiB wort of unpartitioned space. I booted from the Live CD. everything went OK until i chose Boot from the Boot Menu that came up. First it took me to a screen with the following message:
ACPI: expecting a [reference] package element found type 5. and then in went on to boot normally. Then when it reached the user login screen, I found that my mouse and keyboard were'nt responding and that there was no lights on any of the keys. I checked the USB cables and did a hard shutdown and booted from the Live CD again, but the problem persists.
I've read through the stickied thread about troubleshooting my wireless and I've made it to step IV 'Making a connection.'I installed the firmware that my BCM4306 required, then tried 'sudo usr/sbin/iwlist scan'
My son lost his USB Wireless stick for his Computer. I had thought I heard that if you had a second wireless router, you could use it somehow to detect the wireless router you have already set up in your home (like using a wireless card)? Is this what Ad-Hoc is? Either way, can this be done and if so how? I use a WRT54Gx2 Lynksys router and have a TRENDNET TEW-432BRP wireless router and also a spare D-link DI-514. I use ubuntu 10.04, and also wanted to know if I connected one of the router to his on the LAn port could he connect msaybe through an Ad-Hoc on my local computer here? He uses XP on his. I'm a newbie to linux and networking in general.
I installed fedora 12 for the first time last night, and I have been having a lot of trouble with my wireless. It is a Dell 1395 WLAN mini. I followed the instructions from [UR], but I still can't see any networks. Moreover, when I boot into windows I can no longer detect any wireless networks.

I have installed broadcom-wl and (a)kmod-wl and my mobile broadband is detected and working (and also the wired connection).
I recently downloaded ubuntu 9.10. I have a dell d410 with a built in wireless card. It won't detect it, and I have no access to a wired connection for now.
I recently downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 into my Windows Vista laptop & I have downloaded the one that can run alongside my current system, so I'm running dual OS. At the start up screen where I choose the OS, I choose Ubuntu & it loads fine. Everything looks perfect except that it won't connect to or detect any wireless connections. I have tried clicking the Network Manager icon & clicking New Connection. I typed in the SSID & security key for my wireless connection/router & after I hit create, a small window pops up saying "Wireless Disconnected: you are now working offline" or something like that. Nothing happens/changes. There is no internet connection on Ubuntu OS. But when I switch over to my Vista OS, the internet works perfectly (obviously.)
not connect to hotspot via wireless..i was check via console terminal "ifconfig wlan1 up" but not display message.. i have used network tool via gui but i don't know how to setting this wireless.. iam using ubuntu 10.04and my netbook specification is:
I've just fully installed Ubuntu on my laptop. I had it running as a secondary operating system and have switched over. Now, however, I'm having all sorts of incredibly frustrating problems, one of which being that it won't detect the wireless networks around me! how I can get the network manager to automatically detect wireless networks in range, this whole process has become very frustrating.
I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 onto a USB stick (8mb). Works OK, it detects my Wireless Broadband, connects and works OK. But it does not detect the Wireless from my PC router. Do I need to install something to do this?
My computer is Dell Inspiron N4020.And after I installed the Ubuntu 10.04 successfully,a problem occured:No wireless device appear nor the wireless signal
