I am running UBUNTU / Windows Dual Boot on a HP Pavillion computer. My problem is that on the windows side I have lost sound and internet ( Via Ethernet ). Everything works fine in UBUNTU. So I guess I need to reinstall Ethernet and Sound drivers. Problem is how do I establish what drivers I need - Ethernet card , and Sound card.

Like, if you do:
It will give you a list of packets that can be updated, but you don't know to what version and why.
How can I fund out, before updating, what is the version that the new packet will have.
Here I am talking about updates made from the command line.
On a Desktop system, you have that nice list in update manager, and if you click on an item you can see the new version and some details (what will fix, links..)

I'm trying to get 9.10 to work nicely on a Thinkpad Edge 14".Everything is working fine, except that I have issues with the intel graphics drivers.The monitor's native resolution is 1366x768 and I have Intel HD graphics card on it.I have changed my xorg.conf to use driver = "vesa", but now I get only a resolution of 1024x768.I tried to use xrandr to fix this, by adding a new mode etcetera, but this does not work - I believe because the driver is the issue.Also, doing Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6] gives me a blank screen rather than a console.
How do I find out the details about my graphics chip? Intel Corporation Arrandale Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)Maybe I should go more bleeding edge for my drivers? How do I do that?
Just set up Ubuntu 10.4 AMD64 on an old machine. We have an existing Ubuntu machine acting as a SAMBA file sharer. The other machines, windows and ubuntu have no problem in accessing files on the server. This machine reports that it can see the server on the network but instead of the expected data we see what is on the local machine. I admit I am out of my depth with SAMBA.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Ubuntu server running behind a router and I generally manage it from a remote location. I ran into a problem today when I changed the subdomain that the router is on and in turn changed all of the ip addresses for everything on the local network. After restarting the router, I can no longer access the Ubuntu server.
I made sure that I changed the port forwarding settings to reflect the changes in ip addresses. Also the router does not even show the Ubuntu server as having an ip address issued to it. So from that I guess that the server never requested for a new ip after the router restarted. I think I've had this problem before and I ended up restarting the entire server manually. I know that if I restart it, everything should be back to normal. That's what I'll have to end up doing, but I wanted to avoid having this problem in the future, so I was wondering if there is any way to set up the server so that it requests for a new ip address automatically.
how we can obtain cache hit ratio? I have tried using "sar -b" but couldn't find the info there.

Everything hunky dory, but: Network Settings->Proxy->Authorization has 'username:' and 'password' grayed out all the time; even at 'Manually specify ...'. The only 'alternative' (not to chose from) is 'Prompt as needed'. But I don't get any prompt, and so I'm out of luck. To me, this looks like a bug. Because one should be able to enter a username and a password there, for good.
View 9 Replies View Relatedexcuse if this is incorrect section, not entirely sure where it would belong. I rarely find myself posting as i rarely have any issues. But this is persistently annoying, tho not a deal-breaker. Currently running latest Ubuntu 10.04, fully updated. Everything works fine, even better than any previous releases. No problems worth mentioning. But this is annoying, so anyway, here I am.
Installed Miro, loads up and runs fine, can download no probs. The section at the top where it says "account", and you sit over it and it drops down a window for your login details (username, password) so as to recall your personal settings, preferences, etc, but it's not working. By this, I mean the drop-down appears, but clicking the mouse in the window on the lines does not seem to register with it, you can't enter anything. Annoying, slightly frustrating. Has anyone had any experience with this,
My first installation of RedHat was in 1996 , version 3, then I switched to Mandrake because they supported the hardware I had at that time. Now I am a little worried about the direction Mandriva has taken lately so need to reconsider RedHat. I was hoping to buy the distribution on a disk medium but the main site seems to be addressed to the business community not home users like me. Downloading is not attractive so I wondered if it was possible to buy a boxed set of Fedora or RedHat for a home user.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a home WiFi network that has been working fine for ages, which currently supports two Windows-based laptops and a WM5 smartphone. They all connect to the WiFi router (Linksys WRT54G) which in turn connects to the ADSL modem (Huawei MT882). The router is configured with a WEP key, the SSID is not being broadcast, and all MAC addresses must be whitelisted. I try to follow good wireless network security practice. I also have NAT running between the router and the modem.
Everything is working fine for the Windows clients, and now I am trying to add my Linux box to the mix. I am setting up an older HP Pavilion 510a desktop with Ubuntu v8.04LTS, using a Realtek RTL8185 WLAN card. The machine has an onboard RTL8139 LAN adaptor also, which works fine when I plug it in directly to an ethernet port on the wireless router. The WLAN, however, does not seem to be getting a DHCP packet, and keeps on autoconfiguring with a 169.254.x.x address. When I try giving it a static IP address it doesn't connect either.
As you can see from the screenshots below, the WLAN is working fine. I have it installed using the ndiswrapper and Windows drivers. I've been through the Comprehensive ndiswrapper troubleshooting guide but that did not resolve my problem.
I configured the network myself, and it works perfectly for my Windows machines. It is just my lack of experience with Linux which is preventing me from getting the wireless to work under Linux. I can get a HDCP packet in Linux when I am connected to the LAN using the RTL8139 adaptor, but not on the WLAN using the RTL8185 adaptor.
I just got a AWUS036H Alfa Network Adapter but there's like 10 folders on teh CD that it comes with, and there's read me's in about all 10 of'em, i have no damn idea which one to install.

when i try connecting to my wireless router, it says resetting Ip ddress, something else with the configuration file, then obtaining IP address... it just hangs there for about 2-3 minutes and gives me an error... anyone else know how to set up this adapter?
Where can i obtain a full command list?
