OpenSUSE Hardware :: Integrated Wireless On The Laptop Does Not Work?

Jan 29, 2010

I just finished installing a fresh install of openSuse on my old Compaq Presario V2600 laptop. The problem is, for some reason, it always boots to the terminal instead of starting x and the gnome desktop environment. I have to manually start x every time with the command startx. Then, after x has been started, the display is an unusually low resolution, and it wont let me change it. I tried running sax2 -r -m 0=vesa but this did not help fix the problem.

The second problem I am having is that my integrated wireless on the laptop does not work. It is a Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN. Please help with this as well (I know I will probably have to use proprietary drivers just like I did in Ubuntu, but I can't find how to install these drivers under openSuse.) If you need to know more about the specs of my laptop, here you go:

Make/Model: Compaq/Presario V2600
Processor: AMD Mobile Sempron 3100+
Graphics: ATI Radeon Express 200M
RAM: 512 MB
Operating System(s): Dual Boot between XP Pro and openSuse
HDD: 40GB SATA

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Make To Work An Integrated Webcam In A Laptop?

Nov 22, 2010

I have a Dell laptop studio 1735 with a integrated webcam. The webcam seems to be recognised without issue:

1) dmesg | grep Webcam

Code:

Product: Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_2M
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_2M (0c45:63fa)
input: Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_2M as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-5/2-5:1.0/input/input13

And in the Hardware Info applet I found the following:

Code:

: USB 00.0: 0000 Unclassified device
[Created at usb.122]
Unique ID: +rmv.ZLiQYW8YBnE

[code]....

The manifacturer is:

manufacturer = "SONiX Technology Inc."

Do I have to install a special application? Or edit a configuration file in order to make it work?

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Device Is An Integrated Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card

Dec 25, 2009

My wireless device is an integrated Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card, I am unsure about the driver I have in use. I am sure I have a driver installed because the configuration screen shows my network. I currently have the computer plugged into my network via CAT 5 but I would like to be able to use the wireless (obviously.) I am using Open SuSE version 11.2 and I have run the updater. I could not see my wireless network before running the updater and I can now so I know that the updates have helped but I am again stuck. I have tried to search the wireless forum and I have tried to tinker with the settings in YaST , but nothing seems to be working. Reading the Welcome page of the wireless forum, I tried the Broadcom chip-set advice:

[Code]...


I have read and taken to heart the advice given for receiving help and if any more is needed I will gladly give it. I have a small amount of experience with SuSE Enterprise edition so I can understand some technical stuff but I am best at following specific instructions.

Fedora Networking :: Doesn't Work After Turned Off Wireless By Pressing A Wireless Button On Laptop?

May 19, 2011

Recently I have installed Fedora 14 on my other laptop. It's a dual boot with Windows 7. Everything worked perfectly fine, networking included, until my friend didn't accidently turned off the wireless by pressing a wireless button on the laptop. Since then the wireless on Fedora doesn't work. It does on Windows thought. I've tried restarting the laptop few times, but the wireless still doesn't want to work again.

Slackware :: Activate Laptop Integrated Webcam Dell Inspiron 1525?

Oct 31, 2010

I've been using slackware64 13.1 ever since it came out on my Dell Inspiron 1525, and I haven't really had any problems with my webcam in that time. However, last time I tried to use skype - I noticed that it couldn't detect it.

In kinfocenter, my webcam is picked up (OmniVision Technologies). The only time I've had a similar problem in the past is when I used the "Compact" option in lilo.conf, and the webcam wouldn't turn on. Just removing the option solved the problem.

Since I don't know what steps caused this to happen, I'm not sure where to start fixing it

On Opensuse 11.2, I would like to connect my ipod touch to a wireless ad-hoc network of my laptop. I have no wireless WIFI-router at home, so I have to use the laptop as a router to the internet. I know I have to enter a static IP adres and my router's address, but where ? I haven't found any place under network tools to do this, only saw some fields with SSID's and MAC addresses to fill in.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Unable To Enable Wireless On Laptop Even Though It's Not Grayed Out

Mar 30, 2011

I am using OpenSuse 11.4(32 bit) on my Lenovo B460 laptop, and as the title points, am unable to use wireless on it. The 'enable wireless' option from icon menu is not greyed out, however clicking it does nothing, it remains disabled.

lspci -vv shows:

"04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device 0510
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx-

[code]....

so it seems that opensuse knows my hardware but networkmanager doesn't! I have all broadcom packages installed as well as kernel-firmware installed.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Wireless Suddenly Not Working While Laptop Running?

Mar 31, 2011

I have Lenovo G550 and openSUSE 11.4. Everything's ok, wifi without problems, I could connect to anywhere I wanted to, but yesterday while laptop was running and was connected actually by wire to internet, after removing the wire I realized that I cannot connect to wifi (the laptop was hibernated during night) - even the light diode in the front of the laptop was not shining. I went to yast and realized that the wlan0 isn't enabled and there's new eth1 port. But the wlan by ifup I cannot start and the eth1 I cannot start as well.

Hardware :: Laptop And Texas Instruments Integrated Card Reader: Setpci Missing Width

Apr 22, 2010

Based on [URL], I'm having I believe the same issue. FC12 x64, Inserting a XD card shows in messages: Apr 22 11:05:21 localhost kernel: tifm_core: SmartMedia/xD card detected in socket 0:0 However nothing beyond that. (no folder opening, nothing mounted). lspci says:

05:0b.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)
05:0b.3 SD Host controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller

So, based on the previous link I mentioned, I

setpci -v -s 05:0b.2 4c=0x22
but get

setpci: Missing width. Any hints as to what I'm missing? Would love to be able to get this to work.

Ubuntu Networking :: Getting Gigabyte And Linksys Wireless Cards To Work On Laptop

Feb 8, 2010

I've got an old laptop wich wireless adapter is a Gigabyte GN-WI01 GS MINI PCI(its chipset is Realtek RTL8169/8110, I believe) and I'm not able to make it run in Wifislax 3.1 Live CD. I downloaded the linux drivers for it and tried to install them following the instructions but when it came the time to execute configure.sh it told me that I had to actualize some kind of packets first(GK+ or something like that can't remember ). I also have another wireless usb adapter that I tried to use too. It's a Linksys WUSB54g v4(chipset: rt2570). I tried to follow a guide I found about making run an adapter like that on Wifislax 3.1 but when I had to "Force ralink rt73 on rt2500" it doesn't appear on my Live CD version, it appears "Force ralink rt73 on rt2570", dunno if it has something to be but I get an error while making it.

I don't know if it has to be with my laptop, my wireless adapters or my way of following the steps. If it has to be with my adapters I would like to buy some new one(not very expensive) that I won't have any problems running it on Wifislax and that will work on my old laptop(cause I just have that one and can't afford a new one).

I am currently connecting to the internet with my netgear USB adapter (I think the driver is something like prism_usb)

Software :: Getting Compiz To Work In SuSe 11.3 (KDE) With SiS 660 Integrated Card

Dec 11, 2010

I just installed SuSE 11.3 (running KDE) and I cannot get compiz to work on it. This is an old laptop with an SiS 660 integrated graphics card which has installed correclty except for the 3D acceleration. I did my homework and looked around before posting this but all I found was this.

1. 3D acceleration for SiS 660 through swrast stopped working when SuSE 11.1 came out [URL] and apparently there's no easy fix for this today. I went to the card manufacturer website [URL] and found no support for SuSE. I tried the mesa drivers and none seemed compatible.

2. I downloaded the compiz repos anyway and followed the instructions in this tutorial: [URL], but it didn't work. So my questions are (a) HOW DO I GET 3D TO WORK FOR THIS GRAPHICS CARD??? and (b) IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET COMPIZ TO WORK WITHOUT 3D ACCELERATION, AND IF SO HOW? I'm an enthusiastic but inexperienced penguinista, so I hope to find an answer to this issue here.

Is there a way to install 5.5 on my laptop and have UI and 1080p resolution?

I have to say that 5.4 Live runs well - UI loads with correct resolution. With 5.5 live I get black screen.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Get Nvidia Card To Work On Dell With Integrated Graphics?

May 25, 2010

I have a PCI graphics card, Nvidia Geforce FX 5500, but can't get it to work. I have 10.04 installed on a Dell Dimension 3000, P4, 1Gb RAM, integrated graphics. I installed 10.04 without the card in the machine, then shut down and plugged the card in and booted it up again (BIOS setting is 'onboard' for integrated graphics, 8Mb; only other option is 'auto'). Checking the hardware drivers I can see the recommended Nvidia drivers (v173, not yet activated) and lspci gives me the integrated as well as the Nvidia listing:

01:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Nvidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 8286G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

So far so good, but that's where it ends. Changing the BIOS setting to 'auto' turns the screen off on reboot, both for the monitor connected to the VGA port of the Nvidia card and for the monitor connected to the VGA port of the motherboard. I have to shutdown, take the card out and set the BIOS back to 'onboard' to be able to boot again (and shutdown, plug the card back in and boot up again to get back to where I was).

Activating the recommended hardware driver and rebooting (still with BIOS set to onboard) gives a blank screen (screen is still on and there may have been a flash of the purple screen with the ubuntu logo); nothing else happens no matter how long I wait. Rebooting doesn't help, it turns off the screen; same result for booting in recovery mode. I can get to the GRUB bootloader and when I replace 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset' I manage to boot again with the monitor connected to the VGA port of the motherboard, but am not anywhere closer to getting my monitor working on the Nvidea card.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Wireless On Compaq Presario R3000 Doesn't Work

Network Manager doesn't display any wireless networks in SUSE while Win 7 can see 4 of them on the same machine. Ubuntu has no problem either

Ubuntu :: Integrated Card Reader Doesn't Work And Causes Mouse To Hang At Startup

Nov 24, 2010

Everything worked fine in Kubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). On the upgrade to 10.10 (64-bit) it takes about a minute until I can move the mouse after startup and the integrated memory card reader doesn't work (but the green LED which used to only come on when there was a card in there is now always on). This has been discussed twice before: here (closed and solved by unplugging cardreader which I do not want to do) and here (unsolved but closed as maverick no longer in beta) dmesg (note the errer -110) follows. Let me know if I can/should include any other logs/info!
