This is my first linux related question so be kind!
One thing I find is my digital cardreader doesn't work well on Linux.
I've wrote some code to fix this but when I try to click on visual studio nothing happens it won't install.
I have a Via-P VT6205 usb multicard cardreader, computer is running Lenny. According to Via this device is supported in linux kernel 2.4.2 and later. I see 4 icons for the 4 chips it handles in the computer window menu. Lsusb shows it and dmesg shows it, Device manager in control panel shows it, I see nothing that looks like an error mes media in drive" message.nstalled pcscd package and then I could mount a compacflash card. It worked once with an SD card but not twice. I installed hapackage,gnome_device_manager and still, the cardreader will not show an SD chip. The system during boot will test the SD chip during memtest when I forget and leave it in drive, when this happens the 4 icons in computer menu window will not be present after boot. Removing the SD chip and re-booting will bring the icons back.

Using Disk Utility, I find the card is recognized in drive /dev/sdf, but the volume is indicated as Unknown. When I use the same card on a Debian 5 machine, it's mounted fine as vfat. So, I try to mount it as vfat on F13 with "mount -t vfat /dev/sdf /media/card". Message given back: mount: /dev/sdf: can't read superblock. I've added "/dev/sdf /media/card vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0" to /etc/fstab, but that doesn't work (yet) either.

I wanted some input on chronic problems with Ubuntu:
1. Why does wireless almost never work right on Ubuntu?
2. Why, when Ubuntu just decides to turn off my wireless card, can I not just turn it back on?
3. Why do tar balls almost never unpack right?
4. Why are printer drivers so buggy?
5. Why do my MP3 players and digital cameras not work with Ubuntu?
I spent 3 hours last night trying to unpack a tar.bz2 file so I can run my Ralink network card. It worked fine until my son unplugged my computer. Now my card is disconnected and it will not reconnect. When I check forums no one has a simple answer for something as simple as turning a network card back on. On my Apple, it's simple: click my wireless icon and hit "on." tell me an easy way to just turn my wireless card back on, it would renew my faith a little in Linux.
I've created a custom Lucid installation using debootstrap, it works nice but have some problems, one of them is plymouth: it does not show the splash screen, when booting, I can only see a black screen, suddenly a green one and again black, when it is about to boot, some text messages appear and then the system starts. I'm only using X, no window manager, so I edited /etc/init/plymouth.conf and changed the start instruction from:

But it remains the same, Plymouth does not show the splash screen.
I am trying myself on regular expressions. A read on [URL]/regex.htm) that {x} means search X times preceding character. So, why is this :
Code:
wstation~> echo '123456789' | grep [0-9][0-9][0-9]
123456789 # MATCH !! I have 3 numbers in a row.

I'm currently in distress because my Ubuntu system that has my university assignment doesn't work. Not only that, when I tried to fix it I managed corrupt the dual boot I had and now cannot login into either Windows 7 or Ubuntu (besides the USB tryout version which I'm currently on now.I'll try and describe what happened in the beginning. I was rushing to get to class so I needed to shut down my Ubuntu system quickly. The quickest way was to obviously hold down the off button however later when I got home to finish off my uni assignment I couldn't boot into linux! I just get a dos command line with the word grub on it.However not only did it not fix my problem I now can't boot into anything except from this Ubuntu Live CD.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy wife (naturally without consulting me) purchased a WDC "My PassPort" portable usb drive to backup her Windows 7 machine at work. It has an NTFS partition and should be accessable from a Linux box, but she choose to password protect the drive. This apparently requires an executable to run before the drive is unlocked. WDC has provided Windows and Mac versions of their unlock utility, but when I called told they said WDC doesn't support Linux.
It seems odd to me. Are we such a small community that they just don't care? I could remove the password protection and it would probably work with linux. I own a WDC "My Book" external usb/firewire drive that works fine under linux. Just curious why they don't care enough about us to have an linux unlock program. While on the subject I will mention that this drive comes preformated with a virtual CD as one of the partitions. This is a new feature to me. I have not yet attempted to connect via linux to see what happens.

As you can see, I attempted to build in a protective measure to prevent duplicate entries using "if grep -Fxq "$FN $LN" /home/andrea/namelist.txt", FN and LN being first name and last name as you can see in the first read operation. However, this fails to actually work. Demonstrations:

It saves the details to the file rather than displaying the error message, or in other words, it doesnt check the file properly.

When I was using polipo on Ubuntu, it automatically start at system boot.
Now I'm using opensuse, I installed polipo from the repository, however, I have to manually start it by using "sudo polipo". If root privilege is not given, polipo won't work correctly.
What should I do to make it start at boot automatically?

I'm about to start a long research project and I think that being able to tag my files will make my life a lot easier. Basically, just as blogs tag posts with certain tags, I would like to tag documents with certain tags (ie. #secondary #2011 etc) and then search for documents by tag instead of trying to find them in folders.

Looks like 64bit Flash is broken? -- or something is broken between Webkinz and the latest flash. Webkinz, predictably enough, works on Windows, but also works on my 32bit Linux system with the latest flash.Just wondering if any of you out there with a 64bit system could try accessing Webkinz (if you can see the Login moniker and click it, then it's working on your system).

I am trying to read the names of hosts from a file and do a ssh to see if processes are all running or not.
Here is the outer loop that is causing problem:
hosts.lst is a text file that has the host names in each line.
The problem is that the loop just breaks after the first run. Somehow while read line becomes invalid when the body of the loop does the ssh and returns.
im stuck with something trivial again. so i want to calculate how much time my programm runs:

View 3 Replies View Relatedto set up my usb, digital TV Tuner, an AVerTV Hybrid Volar HD (H830) , to work with MythTV? I note that the 'MythTV backend set-up', only refers TV Tuner cards, not usb sticks. Nevertheless, the link above provides a 'Linux x86' driver for my computer � a .tar.gz file. The link also provides an accompanying text file that asserts 'This package is tested with MythTV against Ubuntu 10.04'. I've recently installed Ubuntu 11.04.The accompanying text gives its pre-requisites as a. support linux kernel 2.6.29 or later. b. make sure /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build exists c. make sure "dvb_frontend.h" exist in your Ubuntu. d. kernel modules dependency: videodev, video buf-core, v4l2-common.
For (b), my computer shows the following path /lib/modules/2.6.38-10-generic/build$ I'm note sure what (c) means with 'in your Ubuntu' Needless to say, its later instruction doesn't work Install driver to system sudo ./xxx_LinuxDrv_x86_vxxx-beta_Install.sh I'm told that this 'command not found'
I got a new laptop and I install Debian Jessie, but the SD Card reader is not working at all. When I list the devices with lspci it list the device:
07:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5249 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01)
I own a ubuntu-server (2.6.35-22-server x64) - a home router / NAS / etc assembled at the mini-itx motherboard with no attached keyboard / display.The problem is that the system does not detect the occurrence of SD-card in a USB-card reader. Card reader is normally detected and visible in the system.When I insert SD-card in cardreader, in "dmesg" and, accordingly, "udevadm monitor" does not display any events.If reboot with connected SD, everything works fine, but, of course, there is no event when removing SD.On the forum topics if problems arise, it is only with automounting. But it's not. I do not have events from kernel, that he discovered the SD-card.In the desktop version there is no problem.I installed the generic kernel; comparing kernels configurations for desktop/server versions, comparing the output "udevadm monitor" at the time when I inserted the SD-card on desktop/server, etc. - useless.I don't have more ideas. I don't understand something. Probably there is no package.Almost ready to give up, put the desktop version and delete unnecessary.On desktop versions missing events displayed as follows (the output "udevadm monitor" when inserting SD-card):
Code:

I`m new to Ubuntu and Linux as all. First of all i have a Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop. I have a very strange problem, after the initial installation of Ubuntu 10.10 there were no problems plugging in my headphones or 2.1 sound system and listening to music. After a couple of days when trying to plug in my 2.1 sound system I noticed that there is no sound coming out of them, but the laptop speakers were working fine. Tested the sound system with another laptop and they worked well. I have checked all the settings and everything seems fine. I`m puzzled. I have the system dual boot with Win 7 if that makes any difference.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a multiboot system with Windozin the first drive and first partition like everyone recommends. I have several distro's and just let them install their bootloaders, but always on hd0 mbr. I installed Debian 5.0.1 this way and it wouldn't boot, so I got SGD to "fix" it, which it said was successful, but all I get is a partition doesn't exist when I try to boot. I put Debian on /dev/sdb3, I loaded Linux Rescueand mounted sdb3 and verified that its menu.lst had the right boot numbers (hd1,2). fdisk even showns /dev/sdb3 as boot as shown by the asterisk under the boot column. Should I do a complete reinstall of grub, maybe using one of the other distro's as the holder of grub? At one time they did all the grub launching as each addition was made
View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed 10.04 (clean install) on a 250G drive (partitioned to 107G for the system files). It was working fine, until I wanted to install Window$ for the use of Adobe stuff. I popped the Windows XP disc in, it loaded its files, then I tried to choose a partition for installation. There was an error saying that I can't do that, and needed to delete a partition blah blah. I thought it was too much trouble, so I quit and just wanted to use my 10.04. Booted, and it says "Error booting operating system" I WAS SHOCKED.
I tried to install grub (but don't need that right? I DO NOT want to dual boot now), but the usual method ( the sudo grub; root (hd0.0)...) doesn't work ,because something like "stage1" is missing. I tried many methods by still the same error. The reason I do not want a clean install is that I did many fixes on my 10.04 so that it would work with my EeePC 1001pxd, and I do not want to go through that again. I will be checking my email frequently on other computers if I have a chance.
I'm using 'Adobe Flash plug-in 10.3.183.4ubuntu0.11.04.1', installed from the package repos on kubuntu, and since the last update, it has broken all flash functionality in both rekonq and firefox.I have tried removing and reinstalling the package multiple times, both with and without the browsers open. Can anyone suggest a way to restoring functionality?
