Ubuntu :: Access Sony Ps2 Memory Card - Venom Adapter?
Sep 5, 2010
recently I stumbled upon the fact you can buy a Sony Ps2 to Ps3 memory adapter which is a USB device that plugs into your PS3. However what I was wanting to know is there a way to mount the PS2 Memory card under Ubuntu via the USB device. Do I need to install a PC/SC card driver as its flash memory or do I need to use CCID?? Is it usbmount or pmount? I am a little clueless how you would get Ubuntu to read & access a PS2 Flash Card. The memory cards are manufactured by MagicGate and they bear this legend on the back; This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules & regs and the Canadian ICES-003 operation is covered by the following conditions,
1> This device may not cause harmful interference.
2> This device must accept any interference received. Including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The way I look at it is as follows, if these memory cards are now defunct and no longer supported by Sony as such an 8mb memory card makes for a cheap storage method. Especially when people are throwing them away! The Venom adapter's are available on eBay. Let the hilarity ensue, mail your friend's some files on a 8-MB Ps2 Memory Card, then laugh with evil glee when they cant open it.

Have downloaded ubuntu (because my linux lite died). Very pleased so far with ubuntu, but I can't figure out how to access files or photos from a memory card. Just can't seem to go to anything that even shows its existence.

Just bought one of these - [URL]. Installed 9.10 64bit, install went smoothly, but now having a few problems with graphics card drivers and sound. The system has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Graphics so I guess it's too new for a driver?

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my new Sony Vaio series S but it does not recognize my wireless card (I think). The button is on, but the light does not turn on, and it does not detect the wireless card. The wireless card, an Intel Centrino Advanced -n 6205, does work in ubuntu and when I run the command: lshw -C network, it appears UNCLAIMED, that I think it means the drivers are not in the Ubuntu libraries. What can I do to make it work? I've been struggling but I cannot make it work.

I've had a look and can't find this particular problem on the boards (feel free to correct me if there is something useful already though). I've recently got a Sony HDTV, and have hooked it up via HDMI to an Nvidia GeForce graphics card. Surprisingly enough, I'd like to watch movies/TV this way. However I'm experiencing flickery horizontal white lines on the desktop, and horizontal lines through video. I generally use VLC to play stuff, and have the 805 Nvidia proprietary driver installed.
So far I've tried:
Changing the resolution and refresh rate (Including the native TV ones)
Using Twinview, Separate X Screen and unplugging my monitor altogether.
Uninstalling the Nvidia Drivers and using the standard ones
Re-Installing the Nvidia Drivers
Xine Player
Changing video output of VLC to X11
Using Force scaling (I think, it's a tv-specific setting to compensate for differences in native resolution)
Switching desktop effects on and off
In short, it doesn't seem to be an issue with drivers, resolution, refresh rate, video files, codecs or players. How to stop these flickery lines as I wouldn't like to have to give up on the OS over one problem.

I upgraded the wireless card in my laptop (sony VAIO CW) due to the original Atheros being incurably slow.The new card is an Intel 6300 ultimate n. In Windows 7, after installing the relevant drivers everything worked without a hitch.In my Ubuntu 10.04 installation, however, I have been unable to get it working.Initially I had the compat-wireless modules installed (linux-backports-modules-wireless-generic), as I had done so to try and get the Atheros card working better. I tried removing all of these, and that made the difference that iwconfig now (instead of nothing) listed
Code:
wlan1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=16 dBm

I'm currently installing Slackware 13.1 on my old Sony VAIO. It's got a wireless card sticking out the side of it, and I just want to make sure I set it all up correctly. I got to the screen where it's asking:
static IP
DHCP
loopback
And I'm not sure which one to pick.

I have a sony laptop VGN FS315M, i recently installed Ubuntu 11.04, and i really love the unity interface.
But i have a few issues as well:
1. Vaio FS315M has Nvidia graphics card, ubuntu suggested a video card driver which i installed but didn't work well so i switched to the another one and it worked generally well but that too has problems like if my computer goes to sleep upon closure of lid, it cannot wake up again. it shows only a white screen and only way to get out of it is to restart the computer by manually pressing start button.
2. Sound card works generally ok but mic doesn't work on startup but when i click sound preferences and mic selection from analog microphone to another one and then again to analog microphone, it works but not the first time. Sound output is low compared to windows.
3. Arabic/persian fonts generally are not shown well in firefox?
4. Computer seems to be slow in unity compared to 10.10, may be because of high demand on graphics or the graphics card is not optimized?
5. Skype won't start automatically and there's no option in this skype to do so and also it doesn't save password?
6 . Ubuntu doesn't connect to net connection unless i connect manually, i want it to connect automatically to internet
7. This issue is not related directly to ubuntu. My system is a dual boot system with windows xp as well. Before windows xp, i tried windows 7 beta and then later removed it but it left its bootloader at startup. since my CDROM drive is also out of order so i tweaked BIOS by installing PLOP to install ubuntu. Now i have 3 startup menus if i want to run windows xp, one for ubuntu, then windows 7 with option for earlier version, when i select earlier version then windows xp or PLOP installer. so its a mess. I want PLOP to appear at the beginning (so that i can have boot option from USB available), then ubuntu and if i select windows it should go directly to xp not thru others.

I'm setting up my laptop with Lubuntu LTS (10.10 causes trouble on this machine). I have an SIIG CompactFlash card adapter for the PC-Card bay, which is handy for saving files now and then. The usual story: it works great in Windows but *buntu doesn't recognize it--whether it's in the drive on bootup or whether I insert it later. It just never shows in Thunar or PCManFM (it has a 1GB CF card inserted). Is there something I should be doing that I haven't been? lspci (with the CF adapter inserted prior to bootup) gives me:
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 03)

I'm trying to use an adapter for a SDmicro to a normal SD card on my laptop. I get a notification tath something has been plugged in, but it doesn't appear to be recognized. It doesn't show in Nautilus or Gparted. The light next to the SD card reader blinks when the card is inserted instead of being solid. If left in the computer for a few minutes, the light eventually turns off.
I tried booting up Windows on the same computer to see if it recognized it. It told me I needed to format it, but when trying it said that it was write protected. I'm really not sure what to do here,

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I have a few 2gb CompactFlash memory cards that I bought to use with my FujiS7000 digital camera. Only problem is that that camera will only read/write to 1gb memory cards. I don't suppose there's any way to format these 2gb cards so that the camera sees them as 1gb cards?

Anybody know how to get pictures off of one? I've got a computer with XP, but the software doesn't want to work. I've tried setting it up in a VM, but VirtualBox won't patch the camera through for some reason. The SD card adapter it came with stopped working, so that's a no-go.

I am trying to format 4 GB sd memory using mkfs.vfat. I want to use the card both in linux and windows so I am formatting with Vfat filesystem. When I format the card from command line with "mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk1" I am getting a warning message like "unable to get drive geometry, using default 255/63" but the data in the card is erased.
But when I mount the card and checks for the size using df -h its showing 1 GB instead of 4 GB. how to format the SD memory card or any other alternate way to format the card.

Been using Ubuntu for 1 yr now on my Dell Dimension 8250 but a newbie with my Averatec AV3270-EH1 laptop circa 2005. Ubuntu 10.04 does not detect the Integrated WLAN card/adapter. I've looked at all the forums/posts but none had the issue I have. When I type lspci into the terminal i get this back:
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800 Host Bridge
00:00.1 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800 Host Bridge
00:00.2 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800 Host Bridge

And when I type in iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

I have a problem with recognising my mobile phone's memory card in Ubuntu 9.10. When I plug the phone in it starts the mass storage mode, but nothing happens in the PC. I suspect that I may have deleted phone's icon from the desktop, and I don't know how to bring it back. Also the memory card doesn't appear anywhere: nor in the Places tab, nor in Media folder.The phone is Samsung U900 Soul.

I bought a micro sd card for my BB 9000 and having a lot of trouble with it. windows as it just doesn't work or maybe it is that the card i bought is faulty? Probably too late to get my money back from paypal now :0(. I did this

while the BB was connected. And you will see byt the attached pic that the sd card is not mounting. I can't see where the card is now. The file manager did list it but can't remember where. With all the other drives(i have 2 hard drives) but now i can't see it. There is some confusion as to wether the music that the BB software i used via windows put the music on the BB device or the card. Different things say different things. The filemanager on the BB suggests the files are on the card but when i go to add more files i get an error saying the device is full. The device can only hold 1gb of files including installed apps. I probably haven't mentioned everything here as this is doing my head in. I have been battling for weeks with it and i wish i had of known earlier that the card might be faulty so i could have got my money back.

I spent $70 on a brand-new Wireless-N adapter for my Ubuntu computer in hopes that I could get it to connect to the main router in the house and get me internet access. However, the driver install CD is designed for Windows and thus will not run. I have tried to get it to set up, but it takes no action when plugged in and I am still without access to the internet. what I can do to get my computer connected and save me from having wasted $70?
