Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Get Usb_modeswitch To Appear In Software Centre
Mar 12, 2010
I am having a problem getting my Vodafone PAYG Huawei K3565 Rev 2 mobile broadband to be recognised and/or connect in 9.10
[URL]
The advice is to add
[URL]
to the apt sources. (replacing cz as required for several other servers of choice). I tried this (using several different servers) from within Ubuntu Software Centre, but the usb_modeswitch never appeared. In fact (oddly) the source never appeared in the list! (Although I did have a look in the etc/apt/sources.list and it had added a line each time - there were several - I'd tried quite a few!!!) I did try downloading it but when it starts gdebi to install, a message pops up saying it is available (and better supported!) in a software channel.
I searched round a bit and found another reference to the package at
[URL]
This time the sources were totally different and the apt line recommended was
deb [URL]
When I add this it does add the line to the list of sources, but sadly I still cannot see usb_modeswitch after Software Centre has updated. In fact the number of packages available seems to go down from 2186 to 2179!
I suppose I could force the debian package to install, but I don't see why I can't get it to appear in Software Centre!
I should perhaps add that I have added other sources using the "apt sources" and that worked OK so I know I am doing the right thing.

my problem is simple: the software centre and firefox do not run when i try to launch them from any icon or with Alt+F2. The "Window List" app in the bottom panel shows "Starting Ubuntu Soft..." or "Starting Mozilla Firefox" but that just disappears again after a few seconds and thats it (no error message whatsoever). I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 (new install - no upgrade) and it runs without problems on my other computer.
Ps: I managed to get firefox running with 'gksudo firefox' but not the software centre (i am not so good with all the commands yet ) and i dont want to have to do that alle the time

Tried to start Software Centre today in Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition. It never started, showed the "starting software centre" message then stalled for a few moments and then nothing. "gksu software-center" in terminal returns this error;
Code:
dan@Viktor:~$ gksu software-center
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 80, in <module>
app = SoftwareCenterApp(datadir, xapian_base_path)

10.04 has been around for some time now, and I update regularly.
Strange that there is still the missing icon issue in Ubuntu Software Center.

I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 several times recently and everytime I am asked for my password to install software via the Software Centre, the password field accepts my password and disappears, leaving the rest of the popup box open. Then a few minutes later the popup disappears and i'm unable to install the software.

the computer is hooked to the internet, but when i try to reload synaptic pachage manager or try to install a software that is among the repositories i get always a few errors like:
w: failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...ic/release.gpg could not resolve 'username'
w: failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tion-en_ca.bz2 could not resolve 'username'
w: some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
if i try to install a new software using ubuntu software centre i get "canonical provides critical updates for mysql client." i press the right arrow and nothing happens!even when i try to install adobe flash player i get in the final step the same errors of synaptic package manager. so far i can't watch videos. what can i do to fix this problem?

I am a new ubuntu user, I downloaded it because it was recommended over windows for programming uses. I am new to Ubuntu, and everytime I try and download something from the Ubuntu software center an error pops up saying:
"Requires installation of untrusted packages. The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
It does this for everything I try and download.

I had a Huawei e1752c O2 Mobile Broadband dongle working fine in Ubuntu 9.04 using usb_modeswitch, with settings taken from After renewing an annual O2 contract, I have a new e1752c and it does not work in Ubuntu 9.04, even after installing the latest usb_modeswitch package and data. The new dongle does work perfectly on an identical laptop that has Ubuntu 10.04 with a freshly installed Network Manager and usb_modeswitch.I am guessing that there is a rule (udev or whatever) hanging over from somewhere that needs deleting, but I don't know where to look, and don't see any useful error messages - the device lists as Vendor 12d1, Product 1446 before and after usb_modeswitch runs, but becomes Product 140c in the Ubuntu 10.04 system.

I have installed fedora core 11 in my computer, I'm using a prolink phs 100 3g usb modem to connect to the internet in windows.while trying to get it working under linux I found a usb mode switching program at [URL] , I downloaded the source for the mode switching program and also downloaded and installed libusb.but when I try to run make (as mentioned in the draisberghof website) I get the following error.
Code:
[bushcat@localhost usb-modeswitch-1.1.2]$ make
gcc -o usb_modeswitch usb_modeswitch.c -Wall -l usb
usb_modeswitch.c:66:17: error: usb.h: No such file or directory
[code]...
If i'm not mistaken I think the main reason for this is that the compiler can't find the "usb.h" file, which is obvious from the third line of code.

If I want to install a software package, for example, netbeans for Java, it seems that there are two ways to do that, first is through Ubuntu Software Centre, and the second much fancier one is to do it via Synaptic Package Manager. Are there any differences in the end result? Which one is better?

I just upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3 and compiled kernel 2.6.36. In 11.2/2.6.35 pulseaudio/padevchooser was working fine. Now I'm getting boot errors indicating that hso-udev.rules has a problem that will be important in a future release related to SYSFS{} stuff that should be ATTRS{} stuff. Other reading seems to indicate that my problem is that I have both avahi zeroconf and usb_modeswitch running. However usb_modeswitch is perhaps a replacement for zeroconf.
So I disable zeroconf. Now padevchooser cannot run since it needs zeroconf. Immediate action for me is to put zeroconf back in place and ignore the errors, then my system is working again. Long term action is now the issue. Anybody been down this route before? Whose action comes next? Possibly PA will be switching over to usb_modeswitch for zeroconf functionality? Or is there an OpenSuse config change coming?

Hi everyone,
Encountering several problems with ubuntu. I have managed to burn iso to cd - I decided to bot ubuntu off the cd, I have been struggling with a couple of problems all to no avail. I have heard ubuntu is pretty damn good, and I was quite enthusiastic about it. But if I can't get this sorted...
Oh I should also say I have never used a command line and I have not a clue about xorg or whatever you call it.
anyway my first problem is Display settings. I can go to System > Preferences > Display, and the largest I can set my resolution to is 800*640 and the monitor is unknown...?
Problem number 2 - the ubuntu software centre is not working... Applications > USC > Could not launch Ubuntu Software Centre..
Problem 3 - In the bar at the top of the screen beside time and date etc, "Crash report detected" keeps popping up?
Problem 4 my @ and " keys have swapped places??? also my Pounds sign (I live in UK) has been replaced with # while # has been replaced with
I have been working for a couple of hours on it but nothing makes the slightest bit of difference. I will probably have some more problems soon to be honest - but your help with the above problems would be honestly fantastic.
edit: Yea I cant install flash player to watch videos on .....?
Applications > Acessories > Terminal will not bring anything up anyway!
Open office does not work
Niether does gnometris - but robots does lol

I am planning to shift from ubuntu to fedora and i am using Data card for getting connected to internet. My data card is working fine with Ubuntu 10.04.
I have been using usbmodeswitch to make the device to be reconized as a modem rather that a storage devices in ubuntu 10.04. i have followed this link : [url] and it worked fine now when i repeated the same for fedora 13 it doesn't works.
I have installed tcl-8.5.8-1.fc13.i686.rpm , usb_modeswitch-1.1.4-1.fc13.i686 , usb_modeswitch-data-20100707-1.fc13.noarch and wvdial. in fedora 13 it never detected as a modem. i have also tryed using # modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9e00 also but this never helped.

I couldn't connect my Micromax 300G modem in Debian Linux. From internet (in Windows Vista), I came across the information of USB_ModeSwitch and then I downloaded it. While going to install it, I came across the problem that TCL-interpreter is not available in Debian Linux. Then again I restarted my laptop in Windows Vista and connected my Micromax modem and from internet downloaded TCL8.5.10-src.tar.gz. But while going to install it, I came across the problem that " configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH " . Also as presently, I am unable to connect my modem therefore I am unable to issue the code:" apt-get update ".

is there any way of selecting several programmes for installation at once in the software centre, like in earlier versions of Ubuntu? I have to install about 150 things, and one by one is time-consuming!

I have been looking at the docs in the KDE help centre, but I prefer to store some reading on paper to refer to when away from the computer. So. I don't seem to be able to print from the KDE Help Center, since it's greyed out. Anyone know how to somehow get the docbook files out to my printer instead?

installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS a few months ago, and the Opera browser was available to download. I've just reinstalled 10.04, and Opera is no longer an option. All the other browsers are available ie. firefox, chrome, seamonkey. Was Opera removed from the list only recently?
