OpenSUSE Hardware :: Turn Wireless To On Only Bluetooth Indicator Is Enabled Not WiFi Indicator
Dec 17, 2010
i've just installed openSUSE 11.3 on my dell studio xps 1640. but i have problem with my WLAN . it's a WLAN 1640 mini-card and i think there is no problem with driver. because it seems that it's installed correctly but i can't see any wireless networks (it says "Device is not ready"). is there any suggestions?by the way, when i turn my wireless to on (it's a touch key not a switch) only my bluetooth indicator is enabled not my wifi indicator.

I am on a DELL Latitude 6500 laptop. It has a physical button to enable wifi. On Kubuntu 10.10 it was working perfectly. Now that I have made a fresh install to 11.04, whenever I try and turn the wifi on, I get a status message that my wifi is enabled. But the led indicator does not glow. and I could not find my router nor any other routers in my building. The following is some of the that might be useful to debug.
According to this website [url] the wifi is compatible with ubuntu and does not need any external drivers I guess.

I have a bluetooth-enabled notebook and I used to eventually turn on/off the wireless switch, which disabled wi-fi and bluetooth capabilities.Recently I turned on the switch to find the bluetooth icon missing from the Notifications area at the panel. When I type bluetooth-properties at the terminal a windows pops up saying "Your computer does not have any Bluetooth adapters plugged in." No further hardware/software changes were made recently.

My notebook has no indicators for HDD activity. I want to convert the Scroll Lock LED on my external USB keyboard to an indicator for HDD activity. I know a bunch of such programs for Windows but found nothing for Ubuntu. Is there a way to do this?

to turn off the sound icon in the indicator-applet since it never loads right on the theme for one user and i already set gnome-volume-control-applet to run at startup to replace it i just cant figure out how to remove it without un-installing it which would effect all usersedit seems resizing the panel will make the default icon work so i make a script using gconf-tool to change the size 2 times at startup to fix it

In my top right corner I got all my Ubuntu appindicators that come with Ubuntu 11.04. I also have Dropbox, caffeine and screenlets. Problem is that I cant click on dropbox, caffeine, battery indicator, wlan or sound indicator until I first click on messages menu and slide over to appindicator that I need. When screenlets appindicator is not present there is no problem. Its the same when I had Jupiter installed.

My problem is that in the System Tray, my Wifi indicator won't move. It is stuck to the upper-right hand corner. When I right-click on it, there is no "Move" option. I provided a picture to show where it's stuck.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit with a GNOME Environment.

I accidentally removed the wireless internet indicator from my panel. I looked up the problem and the best I have come up with is how to get it back TEMPORARILY, using terminal. When I type in "nm-applet", in terminal, it brings it back, but if I close terminal, it disappears with it. So, I have to essentially keep the terminal window, or lose the internet. It blows my mind that such a simple thing is taking so much effort and inquiry.

I recently moved to an area where many people have wireless networks, so when I click on the wireless connection icon in the indicator applet on the gnome-panel, the list of available networks doesn't always list my network.How do I connect to a wireless network (already listed in the Network Connections in the Preferences menu) without using the applet on the panel?

I just configured my keyboard to be US International. Now I get the text 'USA' in the Notification Area. I never seen this before and I want it gone. I can remove the default USA keyboard configuration and then it's gone. But after a reboot it's back again.

I just bought a new Dell Studio 1558 and I can't turn the wifi on when logging to my account, the wireless card is installed correctly but the button (F2) doesn't work to turn the wifi on.
[You can see the keyboard shape here]
On windows there is a program from dell that associate these keys (wifi -F2- and Eject optical drive) to their functions.
I wonder how can I achieve this under OpenSuse.

I have a Dell Latitude E6500 running Opensuse 11.3. As far as I can tell the module for my wireless card is loaded correctly and it's working:
Code:
sudo lspci | grep -i wifi
0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
Code:
[ 556.642557] iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, in-tree:d
[ 556.642560] iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2010 Intel Corporation
[Code].....
The funny thing is that it works fine in a Fedora installation, which has an older kernel and older drivers, on the same laptop. The fact that the indicator light doesn't come in when the physical switch is turned on suggests it's something to do with that switch.

Ubuntu has a pair of packages called indicator-applet and indicator-applet-session.
The latter (-session) applet is what shows your user name on the panel (like the switch users applet in Fedora), but it also shows an icon representing your current status in Pidgin, and clicking the applet lets you change your status in Pidgin as well as log out or switch users.
indicator-applet in Ubuntu 9.10 sits by default next to the notification area and shows an e-mail icon, and allegedly is supposed to tell you how many unread messages you have in your e-mail client. I've never configured my e-mail in Ubuntu as I rarely use that OS so I can't say for sure.
Is it feasible to get these applets ported over to Fedora? Would a deb-to-rpm converter work, or would there be a nightmare of dependency issues since these applets seem to be something Canonical made themselves and that's why only Ubuntu has them?
Or has anybody already created RPMs for them?

I'm having an unexpected problem with my Gnome Panel in Ubuntu Lucid. The thing is that after I logged in, my Language Indicator Applet and the Network Connections Indicator Applet were missing in my PANEL.I've tried the typical installation method by pressing "Add to panel", but I cannot find any of these options in the list of applets.

Is there a way I can customize what does and doesn't show on the indicator applet? For instance I *much* prefer the standalone clock application to the indicator applet version...

I accidentally removed the keyboard indicator from a panel. How do I get it back? Right-clicking on the panel, then choosing "Add to panel" brings up a list of applets that can be added to the panel. The keyboard indicator is not among them. I have two keyboard layouts added in the Keyboard Preferences and need to frequently switch between them. I am using Ubuntu 10.4.
