I own a Toshiba Satellite P300-19F laptop equipped with an onboard bluetooth chipset. Under Windows I can use the bluetooth technology flawlessly. Unfortunately, Ubuntu Lucid Linx does not recognize my BT chipset. Is there a way to use the windows driver as ndiswrapper does with wifi drivers?
View 1 RepliesIt gets stuck at the splash screen(the ubuntu logo) However it can boot in failsafe graphics mode and it boots with no problem if my second display is connected. It freezes if I try to change my display settings and it tells me my graphics card is not recognized. I'm using Lucid Lynx. I tried to do a fresh start but grub loads before the ubuntu cd and/or usb drive.

I'm running Debian squeeze on a Fujitsu Lifebook AH550 under kernel revision 2.6.37. For the most part, everything is good, but I can't get my Verbatim Bluetooth mouse (model 96991) to work. It's fine with the Debian 2.6.32 kernel, so I know that the hardware is recognized and any required configuration files are in place. I've evidently missed some kernel configuration parameter, unless perhaps some driver has changed since 2.6.32 which renders my mouse incompatible.If I run bluetooth-properties, I can see that a mouse is configured. I've tried removing that device and adding a new device. The mouse is found immediately, and, according to the dialog, is configured successfully.

The bluetooth manager does not detect a bluetooth dongle .trying to use ndiswrapper to fix.I installed device manager and the results are shown below.i downloaded the windows driver suite. It has 4 .exe self extracting driver archives and a setupconfig.ini. The .ini file is below.I was able to extract one of the 32bit archives on a windows machine and it had about 8 .inf files that are titled weird and would not install properly using ndiswrapper probably because im using the 64-bit architecture. there are 2 64bit .exe's in the driver download, but how can i extract them in ubuntu and do i really need to install all 8 .inf files. also do i actually need to make a .inf file? if so how?

The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards. I really need to access these cards, all my film footage is on there. I think the internal SD card reader (If such a thing exists) would have been deleted during the installation process. I am a greenthumb to Ubuntu and have never used it before so I am rather stuck...
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?

Where to look to find out which chipset my video card uses and how much memory it has? I also need to find out which motherboard I have and the BIOS version. I know these are fairly elementary questions, but school starts for me tomorrow and I don't have a lot of time to mess with a lengthy search. I just plan to update my BIOS, and if that doesn't solve my hardware issues I will create an xorg.conf file and force my machine to use a decent setting. I've been having researching this thoroughly and have a firm understanding of what's going on, but I'll be damned if I can't remember these basic commands.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIt looks like my laptop's wireless chipset (Broadcom) has/is dying. It won't work anymore on my Lucid install whereas it was working perfectly. The warrenty is long expired.
lspci brings up nothing about it anymore, it once did.
I booted my laptop into Win7 and it no longer finds it either. The manual slider switch on my HP Pavillion dv6000 is in the on position but the light is yellow.
It will very rarely work on Win7 now.
I can't afford a new laptop just now so it looks like I need an external wireless adaptor. I have (open busses) USB, cardbus/54, and a small firewire port. It does not pcmcia or other busses.
Any particular chipsets to look for or avoid?
Could people with Chipset : Intel i945PM confirm whether they can use 4Gb ram. I came across lot of posts that their sys will not go beyond 3.2Gb even when they use PAE enabled kernel or 64bit OS. I have this chipset and 4Gb ram and does not matter what I use it will not show more than 3.2Gb. I know that lot of 1st gen netbooks used the same chipset.
I read on some forums that it's a chipset limitation, but intel documents do not say this instead they say that it should support up to 4Gb.
Do you guys remember the inability for lucid to boot with some intel graphics cards?

Anyway I used a workaround to get it working on my Toshiba Portege laptop. However from it stemmed slower graphics, no splash, et cetera. That didn't worry me too much. However, I am now at the stage where I am getting arrays of different issues (that don't necessarily relate) and I would like to just have a nice clean install. I have been upgrading since 8.something and I long for freshness. My files are allready off.
Has anyone patched the kernel or anything? I'm purely a newbish end user and have not been following launchpad or anything. I did the workaround the week of the release. any fixes floating around? If not, I'll go back to 9.10.
My computer was working fine yesterday. Last night I opted to load the newest ubuntu os ver 9.1. Now all I see after the initial booting takes place is a blank screen. I have managed to look at the booting up sequence and at the end of the multiple lines of code is the message: 'Invalid RT chipset detected'. I do not know if this is significant or not.

I'm looking for a 2 antenna card that does 11N for an older Dell laptop that use mini pci. This is the only one I found, but the chipset is a mystery, and I need to know it before buying it.
I'm running ubuntu 9.10 and I'm trying to get my RNX-ESYN1 with rt3070 chipset to work. I've tried to download and install the newest drivers from ralink's page and when I type "lsusb" in a terminal I get this "Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp." so that means if it's plugged in and should work. In the network manager it shows only my PCI broadcom card, but not my USB stick. When I type in the "iwconfig" command I get the "ra0" but not in the network manager.

and still nothing changed, I got it to work once, but I reinstalled my system and can't get it to work again. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Last time I did it, both of my wifi adapters were showing up in the network manager at once and were working great. I need my Ralink to use with the aircrack which doesn't work with my broadcom.
How do I know if my intel chipset graphics card thing is installed?.
View 1 Replies View RelatedATI has a driver listed for Linux x64 for the Radeon x1250 and this is what happens when you run it, I got the same results with Fedora 12 also. Ubuntu runs GREAT on my laptop, but 3D acceleration would be nice, if I can get this driver, I will be set free of Microsoft almost completely. Any ideas? Please do not suggest I buy a new laptop, its a Turon X2 and its powerful enough for me.

SO, its clear that I have no 3d acceleration, my second display is all garbled like the refresh rates isnt being applied properly, and It would seem some lame generic driver is loaded for my GPU, does anyone have any idea if and when or where a proper Hardware driver for the x1250 series will be released?
1. Sometimes when I try to shutdown my computer the display becomes filled with pixels of different colors as shown in the image (The problem is very random so I was not able to take a photo, I tried to recreate the effect using GIMP). Then the display turns off (Analog power saving mode) But my system never turns off.
2. While working on my computer the display sometimes goes kaput and blinks as in the second image. It stops responding completely I am not even able to go to terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F1). Leaving me with no option but to use the reset button. Causing me to loose all the work in progress.
3. Firefox responds very slowly upon closing it takes 5-6 seconds for the window to close.

Now, this works for me for reasons I'm not going to try and pretend to understand. I only know that this works (for now) for me without reverting to the vesa driver as detailed in [URL]... I'm using the intel 855gm chipset on an old dell inspiron 700m laptop (really, I just need to buy a new laptop ). After updating to 10.04, the laptop froze to a blank black screen on boot (after grub). Using Workaround A in the link above got me to some boot code or sometime the Ubuntu splash screen before freezing, so I figured Workaround F was the way to go. Of course I've since then learned that AccelMethod and VideoRam are moot. BUT I made a typo while editing my xorg.conf file, which gave me the "Linux running on low graphics mode" (or whatever it says). I chose to boot anyway, and everything works fine. Videos, 3D graphics, everything I've been able to test so far. If I take out the text in the xorg.conf file that can't be parsed, I'm back to the freezes.

Ok, so let me first start off by saying I'm a linux noob. I feel no shame. I've been working on trying to solve my issue for a few days now and after much research I am still no better off. But I am able to at least narrow down my problem. The long and short of it is that my HDMI audio device is not showing up in Ubuntu 10.4 x64 edition. Let me give a few specs.
Motherboard: ASROCK 785GMH/128
Onboard video: ATI Radeon HD 4200
Onboard audio: VIA VT1708S
OS: Ubuntu 10.4 x64
Alsa drivers: alsa-driver-1.0.23
ATI Drivers: ATI Catalyst 10.6
Running the latest version of ALSA and ATI's proprietary linux drivers. I can see all outputs (including the s/pdif) except the HDMI. From my reading there should be a device listed on a 2nd card called ATI HDA HDMI aplay -l returns the following result:

Just moved from Mandriva 2010.1 to Ubuntu 10.10 and am having problems with the wifi. It connects fine, but tends to grind to a halt every now and then. I always have this problem with Ubuntu... hence me migrating to Mandriva in the past. My card uses the Atheros AR5007G Wifi chipset. So, using ndiswrapper, I installed the windows drivers. Everything seemed to go okay. Yet, after a restart, I'm having the same problem. Which makes me think I'm still using the same old driver. So I added blacklist ath_hal and blacklist ath_pci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Restarted. And I'm still having drop-out problems.
ndiswrapper -l

I have followed to the tee this guidance: [URL]
I tried the installing b43 drivers with internet (using ethernet)
I tried installing off the DVD using the no internet option
I even tried installing the STA drivers even though I know the 4318 chipset is not mentioned as a supported chipset.
All of these were loaded/extracted with no errors via terminal following the guidance to the letter. Now here is a problem I have not read that anyone else has run into. (maybe I just missed it). When I go: System > Administration > Additional Drivers the only additional driver that shows up is "Software Modem". I can't for the life of me figure out why the b43 and STA drivers are not showing up to activate. I can install drivers all day long, if I can't activate them, it really does become a moot point.
