Ubuntu Installation :: Adding Wireless Drivers To Lib/firmware?
Oct 4, 2010I have ubuntu and a Texet USB Wireless adaptor. I have a CD with Linux Drivers and I am supposed to be able to copy the folder into libfirmware. Although I am an administrator and have added myself to the group root, I still can't do it, as it says I don't have permissions. I am thinking of trying to use CHMOD once i've read the manual, but wonderd if there's an easier way? The software source and Synaptic Package manager can't help me. Is it as simple as using CHMOD, or is there an easier/harder way?

Server :: Redhat 5 Crashing After Adding Extra Disk?
Mar 1, 2011I'm running Redhat 5 which is running as an email server with Lotus Domino 8.5. Its a VM on ESX 3.5. The server was running out of space to so I added a new hardrive and mounted it to /domino/mail2, everything was fine for a couple of days, but then the machine became unresponsive, I couldn't even see anything on the console screen so I rebooted, it then did a file check and everything came up fine. This has now happened 2 more times over the past few days, I haven't seen any evidence that the extra disk is the problem but if I can't find anything else I will remove it and see if the problem goes away. There isn't really a consistent time it occurs.
Here's the output of the logs from the last time it happened if anybody who know more about this stuff then me ( which isn't a lot) wants to take a quick look as see if the problem is obvious or what I could be trying.

OpenSUSE Install :: Lose By Adding The X11failsafe Option In Menu.lst / NVidia Drivers?
Jul 21, 2011My install of 11.4 (& 12.1) won't load unless I add the X11failsafe option to the loading of 11.4 (& 12.1) in the Grub menu.lst file. They bomb out after resetting the video when booting. I don't need to do this with my 11.3 install. Upon closer inspection 11.3 is using the nouveau nVidia driver, whereas both 11.4 & 12.1 are using the fbdev nVidia driver. My Hardware is a GEForce 6150SE and a Samsung SyncMaster 933SN. I have a couple of questions
1) What do I lose by adding the X11failsafe option in Menu.lst?
2) Can I, should I, replace the fbdev driver with something else. If yes, What? Nouveau?
Ubuntu :: Safely Resize A Partition Like Adding The Extra Space Without Touching The Existing Data?
Jul 9, 2011I have a BIG extended partition. It's at about 750Gb. Aside from that, I have 2 unallocated spaces, one at 240Gb and one at 5Gb. I want to make one of my storage drives bigger, and so that I can take advantage of all the space I have. (Those 250Gb have been unused for ages. I want to use them for my growing libraries.) So I wonder: would it be safe to put these smaller "chunks" into the extended partition, and still have a working systen? I don't want to mess it all up.
Also, can I safely resize a partition, like adding the extra space, without touching the existing data? I'm not exactly sure how the resize/move function in GParted works. Will it wipe and extend or only extend it by adding it? It would be nice to have these questions answered. Also, if it's to any help, this is my partition table as of now:
[Code]....
As for the first entries, they're unallocated. They're the primary drives, but they don't exist. I'm actually considering to move my partitions out of the extended one, because I only have 3 partitions that I use and will ever use. But if the extended partition is not a problem, I will just keep it this way.
I'd imagine that I first extend the extended partition to consume the unallocated space, and then I move it all to the end of the partition, and then resize sda7 to consume it, and get a 750Gb partition. Can this be done without loss of data?

Jul 18, 2010there are 2 related to 11.3: openSUSE_11.3/ and openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Factory/ Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra they are not listed as official kde4 repos here KDE repositories - openSUSE, but they are in the same directory structure on the build service so it would assume they are official (what ever official means) They have rpm's I didn't see in community and playground (at least for 11.3) such as audex and clementine I would guess that they are for the stable and factory versions of KDE4 but then shouldn't there be a 3rd for unstable if this was the case? Or do they refer to the distro, 11.3 stable and 11.3 factory

Feb 19, 2009So far I've tried gOS, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and SuZE. The result is the same: The live disk runs, opens up but the graphics are shoddy, sound doesn't work, everything is very slow, and in attempting to partition and install the os, it stays at "Resizing partitions 0%"I know Live disks are going to be a bit slower, but this is super slow and this computer is just a few months old. Usually the live cds have a database of drivers for common media but it just isn't accelerating the graphics or even recognizing my wireless. I know its not the CDs because they work fine on other (much older) computers.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Way To Install Proprietory Drivers That Came With Monitor?
Jan 7, 2010I recently bought myself a 22" widescreen LG monitor and am running Ubuntu 8.10 with it. Trouble is when I set the screen resolution to 1920*1080 which is the actual resolution of the monitor it shrinks the text and web pages to miniscule proportions.Text becomes tiny and web pages with firefox display as a column occupying about a third of the screen.I have to decrease the resolution to 1024*768 which makes web pages display better (at least they take up the whole screen)
Is there some way to install the proprietory drivers that came with the monitor? They are an .inf file on the supplied disc.I have a Nividia graphics card a GE Force FX 5200.I also have the 173.14.12 Nividia driver installed if this means anything to anyone.
Ubuntu Installation :: How To Properly Install NVidia Drivers On 10.04
Oct 8, 2010Being a total beginner to linux, I can't seem to find a decent guide on how to install these drivers without much hassle, even though I've been searching for almost couple of hours now.
First, my system specs, taken with Hard Info
Processor: 2x AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240 Processor
Memory: 3091MB (1865MB used)
Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
-Display-
Resolution: 1360x768 pixels
OpenGL Renderer: GeForce GT 220/PCI/SSE2
X11 Vendor: The X.Org Foundation
-Multimedia-
Audio Adapter: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
Audio Adapter: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
-SCSI Disks-
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22NS50
Now, I've installed the "default" (dunno if that would be the correct categorizing) driver with the "Hardware drivers" utility from System->Preferences->Hardware drivers because I've failed numerous times trying to install the package from nVidia site ; I would always get an error while trying to run the package :
"It seems that X server is running on your linux, please deactivate it to install this package" or something like that, but I'm sure it was about X running.

Ubuntu Installation :: Add LSI Drivers For 9750 RAID Controller During Install
Sep 1, 2010I need to add the LSI drivers for the 9750 RAID controller during the install. These drivers are not included in 10.04 (or 10.04.1) and I need to install onto the RAID device I've created. LSI provides the drivers and instructions here - [URL]
Here are my steps, with the drivers on a USB drive -
Code:
Boot from the installation CD and select Install Ubuntu Server.
Press CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch to console 2 while Ubuntu detects the network.
# mkdir /mnt2 /3ware
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt2
NOTE: LSI drivers are at /dev/sda1, via USB
# cp /mnt2/9750-server.tgz /3ware
# cd /3ware ; tar zxvf 9750-server.tgz
# umount /mnt2
* Remove the USB flash before insmod command *
# insmod /3ware/2.6.32-21-generic/3w-sas.ko
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to return to the installer. Continue the installation as usual. Do not reboot when the installation is complete. Press CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch to console 2 again.
# cp /3ware/2.6.32-21-server/3w-sas.ko /target/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-server/kernel/drivers/scsi
# chroot /target
# /sbin/depmod -a 2.6.32-21-server
# update-initramfs -u -v
# exit
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to return to the installer. Reboot to complete the installation. There are no errors, but after I reboot I just get "GRUB" in the upper left corner, nothing else.

View 14 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Install ATI Catalyst Drivers On F14
Feb 3, 2011AFAICT, F14 does not have any formal support right now (no rpms, etc), and there are some pitfalls to using the ATI installer which I am sure have resulted in system re-installs, unhappy faces, and people stuck without a proper driver. This is because while the installer seems easy to use, it's unfriendly in so far as it does not check for pre-requisite software first, and when it craps outs, it doesn't tell you anything is wrong, but it will leave your system without a functioning X server. The first time I ran it, the GUI installer told me everything was complete and that all I needed to do was reboot! When I did, X would not work, and reinstalling the original xorg-ati driver, etc, did not fix it.....
