Ubuntu Installation :: After 11.04 Install - Wireless Range Worse
May 2, 2011
My only unhappiness with 11.04, after I installed in on 4/28 on my Eee PC 1000H (dual booting with Windows XP), is that the range of wireless reception in my house, from exactly the same spot as before, has worsened considerably. No problem when running Windows (which I'd rather not do, of course). Could the upgrade have installed a new driver for the wireless hardware that isn't as good as the previous one?

You know that glitch where your monitor doesn't come back after switching off for power saving? That's gotten WAY worse since switching to Lucid. It used to happen every other day or so, now it happens 2-3 times a day. Songbird used to keep it from switching off on Karmic, but Songbird doesn't work on Lucid so that's out the window.
Also: as similar error happened when restarting after the glitch happened this latest time. Ubuntu started running its routine disk check and I hit C to skip it. The screen went down like it does in the Monitor Sleep glitch. I reset again, it did it again. Eventually, I just let it do the check. This has NEVER happened before.

I've just installed Karmic and get an Out Of Range message on my monitor when starting.I had to use the alternate install in order to get Karmic on there in the first place.I have an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS, and a BenQ FP767-12 TFT.
Output of lspci;01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a2)Not sure how to get my xorg.conf as I can only get to a shell. Here are (what I think are) the important bits;
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "screen0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Module"

I cannot install Fedora core 10. It boots up and it gets to the Fedora 10 loading screen. After that it complains my monitor is out of Range and that's as far as I can go. I had originally thought I could get to some text install mode, but I don't make it far enough to do that.

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday and installed using Wubi. I have downloaded ndiswrapper and ndisgtk and installed the drivers for my wireless adapter. My last question is how to make Ubuntu actually search for a wireless network in range like Windows does. So far, I like Ubuntu but want to connect to the 'net.

I thought I would drop a few findings relating to a strange problem I don't have the answer to.
I have installed both Ubuntu and now OpenSuse (alongside Windows XP) on a thinkpad T40. I own a linksys WRT54G2 wireless router.
Windows XP runs fine, and connection to the wireless network is fine everywhere in the house.
however the first time on Ubuntu and now on Opensuse 11.2, the laptop needs to be within 3 feet of the router in order to connect to the wireless network!
Strange thing is that the laptop can see the network from anywhere in the house (with a signal strength carying between 60 and 90%) - however impossible to connect.
Suse is running the ath5k driver for the internal network card.

Problem is the very low quality of wifi (works only in 2meter range)
I have ra3090 hardware.
Code:
I've compiled and installed the official driver from ralink with wpa2 support, installed it, blacklisted rt2800sta
Now 2860 loads signal quality was 33/70 (with rt2800) now it's 99/100 but keep showing the password dialog after each attempt to connect (means it doesn't connect) password is WPA2, and can not be changed to WEP or something.

I want to plot a set of data in only one plot.The problem is that some points of the data should be better plotted in a linear scale (lets say 0 to 100,000) but there are other data points that, exceding the value 100,000, would be better plotted in a logarithmic scale, as they goes in the range 100,000 to 500,000,000. Let's say the data is:
Code:
X Y
0 100
10000 80
20000 75
[code]....
Is there a way to plot all these points in the same plot in only one X-axis showing two different ranges in that axis: linear: 0-100,000 logarithmic: 100,000 - 1,000,000,000?The axis would be read, for example, as:
Code:
|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
0 20k 40k 60k 80k 100k 1M 10M 100M 1G
(The abbreviations k-M-G are not the important point. Just shown for clarity)

After spending several months coming up with ideas (and ultimately failing), I have found the easiest and simplest way to connect your Ubuntu desktop (or laptop w/o a wireless adapter/card) to the Internet using only a Linksys Wireless Range Expander and an Ethernet cord.
YOU WILL NEED:
Linksys Wireless Range Expander (WRE54G)
Ethernet cable
Linksys wireless router (that is providing your home/office with wireless Internet) The WRE54G can be purchased online through various websites, including eBay. They run anywhere between $10 and $40, but it's going to be cheaper than a USB Wireless Adapter (and no software needs to be installed, making it universal for most Linux distros).

I want to build a bash script, which can ping a range IP adresses which will be filled in by the admin. If there is no IP-adress filled in, then the script must ping the subnet where the system is logged on. So if my ip is 192.168.1.6, then the script must ping from 192.168.1.1 till 192.168.1.255 Or else, if there is given a beginning and ending ip it must ping that!
The first part of the bash script is to ping a given range (see below). But there is one problem, how can I tell the script to ping from $begin till $end, [..] is of course wrong! But what must be filled in there???
echo "Enter beginning IP-adres:"
read begin
echo "Enter ending IP-adres:"
read end
ping -c 1 $begin [..] $end
The second part is to find my own ip and ping the whole range.. How to do that? I only can find my own IP, but I cant ping the whole range,, how to do that?
#!/bin/bash
ifconfig | grep 'inet addr:' | grep -v '127.0.0.1' |
cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1 }'

I've used an older version of ubuntu before, when it was brown and orange. I ran it off of a 8 gb solid state express card. Used it for about a month, didn't like it because I didn't know how to install anything and because it was slow (because ran off of a express card). Now, I'm looking to try ubuntu 10.10 on a partition of a main hard drive, specifically on the chrome os laptop when it comes out.
Now, I've read up that the battery life for ubuntu is mysteriously worse than on what would run a mac or a windows. This battery life issue is driving me away from ubuntu. How much battery life would I actually get for ubuntu if my battery life lasts 4 hours running a windows 7? And how much hard drive space do I need to partition to install ubuntu?

I recently switched from my integrated GPU (i5-650 Clarkdale) to a brand new nvidia GT520 but now my HDMI output is worse than my VGA : bright colors are completely saturated. I noticed that switching the HDMI colorspace from "full" to "limited" (using nvidia-settings) somewhat reduce the effects but doesn't solve it. I even tried to play with my monitor setting, with no luck. This was NOT the case previously. I'm using the latest nvidia-drivers and my 2 monitors are the same reference (LG 22" LCD - W2261VP-PF). Ubuntu 11.04.

I have recently upgraded to 11.04 and am running the Classic interface as I don't like Unity.However, I have noticed so far two areas where this Classic version has gone backwards from the default Gnome in 10.10 and earlier.I can't rearrange window buttons on the Window list, nor can I drag-and-drop say FLAC files onto the button for "Movie Player" any more -they end up pinned on the panel!How can I get back the ability to drag window buttons around and and turn off the annoying pinning feature and get drag-and-drop back?

I'm using Lucid and there is a noticeable drop in performance when using flash under Ubuntu. Video playback appears to be much more choppy than in windows. The driver I'm using according to an xorg config file I made was just "intel." Are there any options I can configure to get it to run more smoothly? The computer itself is a laptop - Toshiba Satellite m45-s331. I tried using gnash and others but they are even worse than the Adobe flash.

After I've updated to Kubuntu Linux 8.10 some problems appeared. I couldn't get my X11 running with nvidia. After some searching my Xorg with nvidia as driver is working with DMKS.

I'm trying to find out which one is safer when it comes down to recovery process in case of a drive failure
A RAID5 created in mdadm
or
a Stripe RAID created on pure LVM
the RAID is purely for data storage for a SAMBA server, the OS will reside on its own drive.Ideally the RAID physical hard drives should be re-build on another machine in case of catastrophic server failure (mother board problem, or any other random problems as an example)I can't decide which of the 2 software RAID method is more convenient and safest, don't care about performance, it'll be a dedicated server for mass storage, it's going to mirror other 3 file servers on fakeRAIDs (dmraid), it's simply a redundant backup for the backups
The important goal here is portability.from what've read it appears that LVM might be more portable?but according to some dated (2009) info the mdadm seems to be a bit buggy when it comes to rebuilding the array, yet LVM doesn't appear that safe either which one would you pick for ease to rebuild on catastrophic failures?

Compiz seems to have had a bug where, upon using Compiz as the window manager, the mouse cursor would refuse to properly change after selecting a new theme. The workaround (altering the index.theme in/usr/share/icons/default) used to be a way around the issue... that is, until the latest Nautilus updates. Now even that won't let the cursor change, and I'm stuck with the issue of a Bluecurve cursor inside applications, but the default dmz-aa cursor on the desktop. Has anyone else found a way around this bug?

I havent used ubuntu since intrepid, but came back from arch linux excited to try lucid
After I've burned the live cd, I can get to the menu (try ubuntu, install etc), but whenever I try to start ubuntu the frequency goes out of range.
I have tried adding vga=771 to the end of the boot line, this had no effect.
EDIT: Am downloading the alternate now.

I upgraded to ubuntu 10.4 and now my screen says out of range. I can hear my normal login noises. sounds like I am working blind. after I log in I cannot do anything without knowing whats going on. I tried ctrl-alt + to try to change screen resolution but I cant tell if it pops up. nothing new happens. I cant slave my hard drive to my other windows or linux OS or linux Live CD, it tells me I dont have permission to open files so I can rescue my files. DO I have to buy a new graphics card or new monitor?

I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu on an external disk (500gb) giving 12gb to Ubuntu.
After the installation process finished I did reboot. When BIOS loaded instead of the Ubuntu boot screen a message from the monitor presented like this:
information
out of range
93.0kHz/58Hz
So I suppose that there must be a monitor problem or something.

I have tried installing the ATi drivers via the 1-click install process, however when I get to init 3 and try to run sax2 (sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx) my monitor just goes out of range. I have tried this in both OpenSuSE 11.1 and 11.0 - both the same. I have tried running sax2 with the -l switch for low resolution - no change. I have also tried the switch "--vesa 0:800x600@60" and "--vesa 0:1024x768@60" which are known resolutions/requencies that this monitor supports (the latter is the native resolution) - no change.
I have tried another monitor but it's exactly the same. My video card is an ATi Radeon HD2600AGP and is correctly identified by OpenSuSE, and displays video fine using the default driver.

Installed CentOS 5.4 x86-64, installation is fine. First bootup after install always fails (after a few messages are displayed) with my monitor showing an "out of range" message.I know exactly what to fix (sync values in xorg.conf) and what values to enter there, but what I can't figure out is, how to get to a stupid prompt! Or a smart one for that matter.Also, I do get a message (before the "out of range" message) from CentOS, telling me to "press I for interactive startup" - but all that does is print as many "I" on the screen as I press. And did they really mean "I" and not "i" for this?
I hear great things about CentOS and if you can help with this silly question - How to get to a prompt - as easy as it probably is for you all, it would help me a lot.

I just updated my Wubi install of 9.10 to 10.04 last night. Everything went well until it required me to reboot the computer. I rebooted, loaded Ubuntu from the startup list, and then the screen went blank and I got "H.V. frequency over range" on the monitor.
I can load the GRUB options, but recovery mode using the most recent kernel does not work. I am entirely unexperienced with using the terminal and command prompt options.
Here's what I have attempted so far:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg this did not do anything, the command was not recognized
$sudo nano xorg.config I don't even know what to do when I get to this screen
and I am about to try $ sudo displayconfig-gtk
I have an ATI Radeon 9100 IGP card

this has happened with a few different attempts of ubuntu based distros lately ... i try to boot a live cd it gets to where it starts loading and the monitor pops off and says input out of range ... im aware that this is a known bug with xorg choosing either the wrong resolution or refresh rate ... but what the heck are we supposed to do , i can't get far enough into the boot process that i can open a terminal and try to bypass xorg ... so will all future distributions of ubuntu just be out of the question for me ? if you ask me what needs to be done is make the installer ASK what resolution you want to attempt to boot at .... similar to what puppy does

I'm currently trying to install 10.10 on my (8-year old) desktop, but I'm getting a warning that says "PC video resolution is out of range. Change setting to Recommended resolution 1924*768@85Hz".
Which would be fine, if I knew how. Is there any way to do this in the installer? I can't get any further than the "Try/Install etc" menu screen.
It has a nvidia Geforce graphics card, if that helps. I can't give you any more info than that because the specs have been lost to the mists of time and old email addresses.

My brother got a new 120hz monitor, but can only get the old one to work. If he boots up with both of them connected in windows xp they work fine, but in Ubuntu 10 only the old one works. If he tries to detect the monitor in Display Preferences, nothing happens. The old monitor is connected to vga output (lcd with vga only) the new monitor is connected to dvi with a dual-link dvi cable. We know the graphics cards cannot provide 120hz, for now we run the monitor at 60hz until he upgrades the rest of the pc (sandy bridge i guess).The 120hz monitor worked fine until he changed graphics card from a ATI radeon 9200 to a geforce 3 ti 500.
He has tried
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and detect monitor in Display Preferences but no dice. Could he try restricted drivers?
System specs:
Ubuntu 10.04 32bit
athlon xp 1700mhz
1GB ram
ati radeon 9200
geforce 3 ti 500
lg w2363d
