I'm running Debian Squeeze on my desktop computer. I have a USB dongle of italian brand Dikom (they just re-brand Chinese products). It has a Zydas ZD1211B chip. Now, according to this, drivers for that chip have been included in all distros for a while. And yet, Debian doesn't want to know about my dongle. Wicd can't connect, the system doesn't seem to do anything with hotplugging when it's inserted, and lspci doesn't list it. What to do (short of threading Ethernet cable from one end of my home to the other)?
Last night software updater notification showed 29 updates. I was building a liveCD image so decided create the image first then install the updates. After the updates were finished, I did a reboot because some packages required it, I logged on successfully, then I shutdown for the night. This morning when I executed the same command used to create the liveCD image, I get the following error.
I'm looking for a usb dongle which allows an extended wifi range (usually looks like a usb stick with a small antenna on top). Buffalo and Planex have both replied they don't support linux. Alfa makes one but I cannot get it locally.
I updated the latest kernel and other new maintenance tonight and started getting this error at boot...doesn't appear to be hindering anything. My encrypted partitions (luks, ext4) still open and are accessible.
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting padlock_sha (/lib/modules/2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-sha.ko): No such device
See similar errors reported on ubuntu forums... with various recommended workarounds... update/add an alias, blacklist a module, fresh install
I have been a regular user of Linux and have never faced a problem like this one, after I installed Linux Fedora 14 on my laptop. After installation, almost all the softwares that I was earlier using with the earlier version of Fedora are stopping immediately on starting and exitting with a fatal error. eg. when I try to run paraview, it immediately closes after giving some fatal error. Similar is the case with gambit, tecplot and mayaVi softwares.With my earlier version of Fedora, I was not facing any problem. But since I installed Fedora 14, I am facing this problem. I even tried by downloading and installing latest version of paraview and mayaVi from the net, but the latest versions also on starting give the same error : fatal error, and exit the program.
The softwares I mentioned immediately close indicationg a fatal error. The following error messages appear in the console after abrupt shut down of softwares with fatal error :
I have a Linksys WUSB54GC usb dongle and I have exhausted every thing I know about making this thing work in linux. I am using Fedora 13. Since it is not ready I can not view any networks. Any ideas would be great.
lspci -v does not list the the item. tail of the system log

I've bought this Blumax USB WLAN adapter 9009 (ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter). I was specifically happy to read in its specs that it supports Linux [URL].
However, it turned out that the co-packaged CD drive doesn't contain anything Linux-related, and the support page online has gzip package with many files I don't know what to do with [URL]. The online support swallowed my query and hasn't returned any answer.
So, now I am wondering what to do. I don't feel so competent as to be able to compile the drivers on my own, specifying several specific parameters. At least it doesn't compile with default params. how to move forward with this. Apart from returning the device, because I'm too far now from the place where I bought this.
for some reason my first updating was interrupted and from then i cannot update. i get the following message:
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery error: db3 error(-30974) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30974) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm CRITICAL:yum.main: Error: rpmdb open failed [root@laptop etc]# yum repolist [Code]....
I have just installed Ubuntu on an old laptop for a little bit of programming and to gain some familiarity with linux. Im looking forward to getting to know my way around the OS
Unfortunately, the wireless card (for wifi) on this laptop is broken, so instead I have been using a wifi usb dongle on windows. I am having some trouble installing this dongle in ubuntu, i cant find a driver for it!
Its a "MicroNext MN-WD546J 54M Wireless Adapter"

I have my modem connected directly at the moment via LAN, and this works no problem, but id like to get it connected wirelessly
I have a AWU212n wifi dongle that I would like to use to get a debian computer to connect to connect to the network. There aren't any linux drivers and it seems to need a realtek program to connect. I'm running debian Squeeze. Wine doesn't work to run the installer, I don't know if I copied the realtek program from a windows computer and ran it with wine if it would work then or not.
I just bought a Belkin F7D2101 USB Wifi N dongle, it works great, but every time I start my computer, it's not detected. At least, my network applet shows no network adapter. I have to unplug and plug it back in on another USB port to get detected. Then, my network dmon automatically connects to my wifi network.
I'm tring to run AMDOverdriveCtrl, since they don't have an RPM file for Fedora i tried to compile from source i followed the instruction in the readme files run the make command
and tried to run the application, and i get this error message
Code:
$ AMDOverdriveCtrl Fatal Error: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected.

Im a Linux newbie and am running OpenSuse 11.3 (Gnome, 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop Kernel) and Ive an Asus N13 wifi dongle (linux compatible). I currently connect using my laptopÅ› internal wifi but I bought the dongle due to trouble with weak signal. It came with some sort of code that can be "compiled" but I havent got a clue how to do that (and I have been researching this matter for quite some time now). I then came across a post where someone with the same USB stick created and added only two small files to his filesystem and it worked...for him (maybe becasuse he was on a different Distro )
Ralink RT2870 USB Stick and created the two files mentioned in the post (network_drivers.rules and network_drivers.conf) and placed them in ETC... etc, etc! I rebooted the system but NetworkManager only lists it as "device not ready" ... So now back to square one.
i tries to upgrade my fc14 to fc15 using preupgrade. during installation packages process i get an error "fatal error bla-bla-bla installing netsniff-ng-...". i've booted in fc14 (in emergency mode) and manually removed old netsniff-ng package and installed new package. after that i've booted in preupgrade process. it finishes successfull. but now i can't boot in fc15 - i get "kernel panic" error. i've opened grub.conf and there is no 'initrd' section and there is no initramfs for fc15 in /boot folder. i've tried to boot fc15 with initrd /initramfs-bla-bla-fc14.i686.PAE.img. fc15 booted, but i think something wrong, because network not working, and there is only "lo" in ifconfig. what can i do?
I had an earlier thread with wrong title and wasn't sure of the problem at the time. Now I have some details after checking all the threads about catalyst so posting a new thread. The problem: In korganizer (or To-Do list in kontact), whenever double-clicking or right-click->Edit.. a To-Do item in the summary list window, it crashes Xorg.
[Code]...
Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting I think it has something to do with the amd/ati catalyst driver and korganizer. My video card is XFX Radeon HD5670. I have Fedora 14 x86_64 latest update with xorg 1.9.1-3. I tried catalyst 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, and kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64. Same problem.
If I use vesa driver, or from another PC with proprietary nvidia driver, no problem. Open source radeon driver works ok but sometimes the display turns off and I can't get back the display. And I need 3D. I scoured through the forum and followed the instructions exactly:
I must say, the RPMfusion version of the Nvdia driver package work better with FC10 than they did under FC9 for me, which is to say: they work at all. Still get corrupted output after a few hours of work, but I imagine that's just the underlying weakness of the Nvidia driver bubbling up. Either way, now I have other problems:
First off, the Intel driver for my onboard video setup has stopped working entirely. The attempt to bring up X on the Intel setup gets me to the KDE login screen and locks the machine up hard (poweroff required). A look at the xorg.0.log shows that the server seems to be stuck in a loop trying to determine the valid video properties for the session.
Here's my xorg.conf, BTW. I have it setup to perform different configurations depending on which DefaultServerLayout line gets uncommented (lines 4 - 6). If anybody has a better way of doing this, I'm all ears. While we're on my xorg.conf, pleas view lines 64-67 and/or 75-77. This is my quickie way of changing drivers (again, all ears) which brings us to the next problem, neither the nv or nouveau drivers work with my system. Interestingly enough, both drivers tend to fail in the same relative spot in the process, I think. Please refer to line 207 of this xorg.0.log with the nv driver or line 140 of this xorg.0.log from the nouveau setup. Either way, both sessions die with the same message: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found Gotta go, x session getting corrupt,,,
I have installed fedora, the installation very well took place, only I have a problem to reach the system in graphical mode, and when I tap " startx " in the console it shows the following error:
Fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
I'm runing FC11 and have compiled the vanilla kernel 2.6.33.4 to support Dazuko. It has broken my NFSD server in the process, and I can't figure out why. I get these errors on boot. FATAL: Module nfsd not found. FATAL: Error running install command for nfsd
I have VIA/S3G unichrome IGP video card of 32MB after installing fedora i am getting very worst resolution of 600x400which is completely irritating so please provide me a way out from this problem to use fedorathe solutions i followed and failed are given below
1. Some one told me to change the xorg.conf file but i failed because there is no such file in the given location
2. Some one told me to create it using system-config-display but for fedora 14 there is no package for that
3. some one told me again of using the command Xorg -configure but it said as followed [root@localhost tmp]# Xorg -configure
Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.
