Ubuntu :: Hardware Drivers Not Appearing In Its Drivers GUI - 9.10 Beta / Solves This?
Oct 24, 2009
I just installed Karmic beta and I'm having issues with getting my wireless driver to work. When I was using 9.04 and when I booted 9.10 from a CD, I could just go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and activate a wireless driver and everything would be just peachy. The problem is that, in the install of 9.10 beta, no drivers appear when I load the Hardware Drivers GUI, so I can't get wireless internet.
Is there anything I can do besides wait a few days for the full release of 9.10 and hope that solves the issue?
[URL] I just updated and then saw this news , whats the solution for me, I either want to go beta or downgrade, If i try to boot to previous kernel, boot hangs in graphic mode, I cant start X and gdm . How to install kmod with beta drivers? Or whats the solution, nvidia ver: 195.36.08
I have been using ubuntu for quite a long time, and for the first time, I am now unable to set nvidia drivers to work. I have just install ubuntu 9.10 amd64 on an AMD 64 athlong X2 with a GEForce 6500 nvidia card.
The only reason I need the proprietary drivers is to use two monitors.
I am going crazy, I have tested everything I have found on the web. I have tried all the nvidia drivers version, I have tried envyng, ... but nvidia do not work!!
I am trying Xinerama with nv, but it does not work either!!!
Here is my xorg.conf file in which I have tried to use nv driver to set dual monitor. X fails to load and it says that screen 0 is deleted, that devices are found but there are no matches in the config file. Any clue?
I know i know, some will say "eww Proprietary Drivers" but hey, ubunt is all about having more control of the OS. Is there an easy way to install Proprietary Drivers thats not through the hardware drivers option on system?
I installed Xubuntu the other night (completely wiped machine) and started doing all the updates on it. After a couple of reboots, I changed from the proprietary drivers, to the regular nVidia drivers. After doing this, the startup logo is displayed at a really low resolution. Is there a simple fix to change this and use the nVidia drivers as well?
I've installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my HP DV2000 laptop and now I want to get my wireless to work by installing the proprietary broadcom drivers (4311, I think). But my internet doesn't work yet obviously, so I need to download the drivers to my thumb drive on my desktop and install them on my non-networked laptop.My issue is that I don't know:a) Where to get the driversb) How to install them from a local drive
I've been trying to get online for the better part of a week now with no luck. I can't get my network up to download drivers for my hardware - without the drivers I have no GUI so I'm stuck trying to do this in text mode.
after few years being limited with my pc configuration (windows OS) I realized that linux or it's distributions is the best invention in 21 century. And finally I am starting use it. openSUSE 11.4 installaition succesful, I updated it and it looks I don;t have any problems, but I got few questions.
1. How install older version of mozilla firefox internet browser here? I can't install some plugins because it's a firefox beta 12 version, for example. I am quake fan, o I like play quake live, but i can't install quake plugin, because my firefox is beta version.
2. Does I got all drivers instantly installed to my mashine? ATI video drivers, sound drivers ect??
3. Are there any How-To guides which can teach me, how I can improve my desktop? gadgets, 3D desktop ect...?

when I boot into Fedora right before the login screen I get a black screen with a command line.How can I uninstall the drivers and get it work again without ATI Drivers? I have switchable graphics and for Fedora have to switch them in the BIOS but with integrated as well as discrete graphics I get the same black screen.I have the LiveDVD ready and only need advice on howto log in in text mode or recover via LiveDVD.
I am trying to use Skype beta on my acer aspire one with ubuntu 10.10. The video runs brilliantly and i can also here my wife from the other end but she cannot hear me. Apparently something is fishy with my mic input. I tried alsamixer and everything is in unmute. My alsa version is 1.0.23. The only think she hears is a loud hissing noise which is normally my bat voice but she doesnt need to know that. I can record my voice in the sound recorder but nothing comes out in Skype!

I thought I'd try the moderete effects under appearance. Got a message to update drivers. I did that. Rebooted and the desk top partially comes up but I can't do anything. Things are REAL slow and most of the graphics never show. On the desk top the stuff in the upper right corner is missing. If I go to file system it won't show the folders. I tried to turn off the effects the appearance screen comes up but clicking on the tab does nothing. How to I fix this. Can I back up and get rid of these drivers.
Why are there no drivers showing up under hardware drivers? i don't have anything installed, and everything is running really glitchy. All things are up to date. (besides drivers)
i am trying to learn though i have a powercolor ATI radeon hd 5570 video card and i have never installed one in a pc with ubuntu having trouble figuring out how to get drivers.
and by keyboard I mean electric piano. It's a Casio wk-110. I plug it into my computer but how to get it to work from there. I don't know how to get the drivers or anything.
Using a radeon hd2400 graphics card. Using the open source drivers the fan seems to be working at 100% all the time, making quite a noise. Using fglrx driver its not too bad. Is there anyway or any program to control the fan speed using the oss drivers?
just installed ubuntu a couple nights ago. Trying to learn the ropes, but I've been stumped by these problems with ATI video card drivers. ubuntu gave me a notification that there were proprietary drivers available, but I was not able to install them. i got some kind of system archive failed error. so i tried downloading the linux drivers from the ATI website but those wouldn't even run. i have a feeling there's something i need to be doing that i am unaware of.also another quick question. while getting utorrent i found that i need to have this application called 'wine' to install it, correct? do i need to do anything special with wine or can i just run the .exe file for utorrent once i have wine?
when I go to additional drivers the only driver that comes up is the ATI proprietary driver. Isn't there supposed to be broadband drivers and webcam drivers and all the drivers that I need for all the devices that I use. is there a better driver mangier out there.
I'll try and make this short because I'm very tired. I have Windows 7,needed to install Ubuntu to test something regarding a problem with 7, I installed Ubuntu, no problems. I got it all up and running, and I can't get the drivers for it. It doesn't already have my wireless drivers, so I can't get on the internet to get my drivers.How would I go about getting my needed drivers?
