View 7 RepliesInitial FC12 install worked great, kernel 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 allowed radio kill switch functionality Fn-F11 for wlan and Fn-F12 for bluetooth.The last two kernels have broken that functionality.
Fedora (2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64) broken!
Fedora (2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64) broken!
Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64) works!

I have a Pure Evoke Flow radio that connect to my wireless router for streaming internet radio, this works fine. It also has the functionality to connect to a hard drive over wifi and play any MP3 files on it and it runs on Linux.
With Windows (sorry) I just click on the folder and make it Shareable, on the Radio I then set it to search for servers and it finds my wife's PC and plays her music.
I have (I believe) set my music directory on Ubuntu 9.10 to be shareable, it downloaded and installed a couple of files including samba and then rebooted. However my Radio cannot see it.
I am wondering if any in the Ubuntu community owns a Carmen Car Radio player by Livio Radio. The program to save internet radio to the device is written in Java, however I am not able to run it either using WINE or using Open JDK.
The Carmen Player does work well with Banshee, it is the internet radio that is not working.
I have a new install of Karmic on my system with a flyvideo 3000 tv card installed. My problem is that it doesn't find any radio channels and the input channel is completely wrong. I don't have any sound on gnomeradio and can't find the config files to change the input channel. The only input option available to me is dig1 - can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have already read the Howto for this tv card and changed the device to radio0 in the setup. I have setup tvtime perfectly with sound channel as well as with a 5.1 surround configuration. I am missing my favourite radio channel. and I want to get rid of my windows installations once and for all! Update: I did a system update and some things have changed: the radio tower graphic on gnomeradio is now green (I assume it is getting a signal) but no sound yet.
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A200-21T LapTop with Ubuntu 9.10
I used to have dual boot with windows Xp but i shoot windows out (Sorry bill )
In windows i was able to use bluetooth with my nokia phone.
The wireless hardware button in the laptop is on. There is no option it the bios to turn off the bluetooth, so i'm sure that the machine is booting with bluetooth on.
i run this command in terminal:
Code:
ruival@ruimadlinux:~$ cat /var/log/dmesg | grep Blue*
[ 0.380007] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.15
[ 0.380012] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized

Is there any way to connect the phone via bluetooth on the laptop and once connected answer the phone through the computer as a handsfree kit?

I can connect to Audio Sink service on my bluetooth headset and it works but I couldn't connect to Headset service on my bluetooth headset. Bluez daemon quits when I try to connect to Headset service. The same bluetooth headset works fine with my XP. I can connect to Audio Sink and HSP service in my XP.

I can't believe that there seems to be no way for me to record my shows from my radio. Works fine when I boot into the Mac side and even when I use Ubuntu using VMware Fusion. When I boot into Ubuntu directly, Audio In in the Sound preferences doesn't seem to work. No audio coming through when I try to record from the radio.
I tried to install 11.3 on my acer aspire 7530 notebook to have dual boot with xp.
I made 4 partitions: one for xp, and the three for linux were made automatically.Before installation I got the warning that the partition wasn't entirely below 128 gb, I installed anyway to give it a try.
The installation froze at 92% and after the laptop wouldn't boot.
Now I've formatted the hard disk and installed windows on a partition leaving a free un formatted partition of 100 gb.

Just resently I managed to activate internal bluetooth adapter. I'm not expert in command line and everything I could was done in GNOME. Same like most other systems an icon appears in panel bar whenever I used to type <modprobe omnibook ectype=14>. It took me some time to set everything with the kind help from URL... So the thing is that after fingering with some newly installed packages concerning b-tooth utilities that icon is gone and b-tooth is not active.

Permissions settled for shared 'Public' dir. Picture 2. Grey-out options in Bluetooth 'receive file' dialog. What to install into system to resolve that issue? Or, is there another solution?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a complete an utter newbie on this forum, and indeed to linux/ubuntu in general so pardon me in advance if some of my question makes no sense/sounds silly/makes you want to exterminate all noobs. Basically, I've had bad experiences (i.e. had to use my recovery system) trying to install a dual boot system with OpenSuse and want to get some sound advice before I proceed with installing Ubuntu, instead of having to go through the agony of formatting and recovering Vista HP again, and consequently trying to teach it all over again how to suck less.
Okay, so less waffle and more questioning. Background information is that the laptop is a Compaq F560. It has at present Win Vista 32 HP on the primary partition (C), with a recovery partition on (D). It has a very basic, almost un-alterable BIOS, 1.5Gb of RAM, 120Gb HD, standard CD rom, integral nVidia 6100m graphics card, a broadcom wireless network adaptor and various other bits n' bobs.
When installing OpenSuse last time I found 2 huge flaws with my method. First one is, that I didn't have wired networking available to me at the time, and foolishly forgot to get hold of the wireless adaptor drivers before installing Suse. No biggy you say, just go back to windows and download from there. Great, except I'd bozzed up the MBR too, so couldn't do that. Suse, for it's part, ran fine. Very smooth. I just couldn't do anything with it.
What I'm now looking to do, is give Ubuntu a shot, as part of a dual boot system, with Vista on the other half. I want to make vista the default boot system. I DONT want to have to go through my compaq's recovery system again, if possible. To meet these objectives, Ultimately, I'd like to transfer all of my operations across to Ubuntu, but I'm too windows-dependent at the moment, though some sort of windows-emulator wouldn't be a bad idea if anyone knows where/how/what.
I have bluetooth enabled in a Windows desktop Machine, which is connected to internet.
I would like to connect to internet through bluetooth available in my laptop which is running on CentOS 5.3.
I referred to many tutorials in internet, still couldn't configure bluetooth.
I have been working on this for 2 days and I am ready give this one up!! I have an old 'hp omnibook 6000' It's an Intel mother board. I believe it has 4 or 5 GB hard drive. 512 RAM, put that in myself. I can load live-cd's and all is good. I have tried: Xubuntu-alternate 7.04 and the desktop cd. Puppy Linux loaded up ok and all was working. Dam Small Linux loaded ok. Each time I reboot after install of mentioned os, all I get is a flashing cursor upon reboot. I know each one installed as gparted has shown me. When I install I 'erase and use entire disk'.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just recently bought a Toshiba L505-ES5033 and can not get ubuntu (or fedora 12 32 or 64) to boot from the live cd, or install. I can get to the initial menu that asks me if I want to try without changes and all that but from that point nothing really. If I choose any options other than the help option it runs through some scripts and gives me an error. The error refuses to stay on the screen despite my constant demands that it does; all I THINK I can make out is MIRR... configuration error. Fedora tells me something entirely different. After this error it goes to a faded black screen and I can hear my HDD making angry sounds.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince my wife just bought a new laptop I decided to polish her old (decrepit) machine a little and let my daughter have it. It was dual partitioned XP and Ubuntu 8.04 (which worked flawlessly). I figured that since it was older I'd load Xubuntu. I made a DVD of Xubuntu 10.04 that passed checksum. When I tried to boot from the DVD I got as far as the menu asking me if I wanted to boot from the DVD, install from the DVD, etc. Whatever I picked the machine seemed to think a while, then hang on a black screen.
So, I got an Ubuntu 10.04 CD from a book I'd just bought, and tried that. It behaved identically- after the option menu whether I tried to boot from CD or install, it hung on a black screen. So, I booted 8.04, and fired up the Update Manager, and loaded all recommended updates (as is generally my habit). Then I clicked the button to update to 10.04, all of which progressed as expected over the course of a few hours, until the reboot. At this point it did the same thing! GRUB loads, and I pick Ubuntu 10.04, then I get the word "Ubuntu" in the middle of the screen with several dots under it (the boot splash?) for a split second, then it hangs on a black screen.
If I boot Ubuntu 10.04 in recovery mode that DOES seem to work, and I get a command prompt. But fixing this via command prompt is WAY beyond my weak Ubuntu kung-fu.
The machine is:
Averatec 1000 series
Intel Celeron (R)M 1.00GHz
504MB RAM
Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME graphics controller
Which seems to meet minimum system requirements.
Oh, and XP SP3 boots just fine.
But I'd be happy if I could single-install some version of Ubuntu, and screw the dual-boot capability with XP, if that makes any difference.
I tested a month ago with my bro's PC and really liked it a lot. I downloaded 10.10 version from net. But i found out that my CD ROM drive is not able to read any CDs any more and my laptop doesn't have USB boot option. My laptop is a Pentium 4 with 1.5 GB RAM and is running Windows XP Professional SP 3. I have created 15 GB unallocated space for Ubuntu but don't know how to install in this situation.

Has Windows 7 Home 64 bit. Processor Intel i-3 2.1 GHz. Memory 4 GB. Hard disk 250 GB
Was not able to boot Ubuntu 9.04 from the DVD drive ('Broken Bios' error). Was able to boot Ubuntu 10.10 Seemed OK and so made a USB stick for booting.
This also worked on 2 occasions and after about a week cannot boot either from DVD drive or from USB stick. No upgradation of BIOS or Windows 7 was made.
Trying to boot from DVD drive got 'Broken Bios' error and with USB the error screen goes off too quickly and therefter the loading goes for ever.
I downloaded the disk ISO torrent and burned it to a DVD. I then ran the DVD and installed Ubuntu using the Windows installer. Upon rebooting, I get the boot menu asking which OS I want to start. I select Ubuntu and it goes to a countdown to hit ESC to select boot options. Once boot starts, I get a bunch of crap on the command lines and then it hangs. The entry it hangs on is something to do with? child-(several numbers I can't remember right now). I hope that is enough for someone to identify where it's hanging during boot. what is causing this? The computer is a Toshiba Satallite L505D-S5983. You can look up the specs for that. Processor is an AMD Athlon II M300 2.0Ghz, 32-bit, with 3GB RAM. Video is AMD M860G with ATI Mobility Radeon 4100. Primary OS is Windows 7. I'll see if I can find some paper and a pen to write down the particulars of the error. I usually use my computer for note-taking, but I obviously can't do that here.

I've just acquired a Vaio PCG-FX801 with Phoenix bios version R0121K5.In the boot order, it lists "+Removable Devices", but on expanding the menu, only gives "Legacy Floppy Drives".I only discovered this after unsuccessfully trying to boot from a stick with the 10.10 netbook iso on it.Is it possible to get round this,or should I put the iso on a cd,or should I download the desktop iso onto a cd, and use that? I want to try it out on this laptop before installing it.

I followed exactly what is described on Ubuntu [URL] Believe me, I burned image (not .iso data) to CD, but BIOS won't boot from the Ubuntu bootable CD. I also created a USB stick, again BIOS won't boot from the Ubuntu bootable USB (I selected to boot from USB first) stick. I tried with Desktop 10.10 32bit, 10.10 64bit, 10.04 32bit, and 10.04 64bit.
I also tried with my old Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 64bit bootable CD, which my very old Compaq Laptop installed. It allows me to see the menu. I selected "Safe mode" to install Ubuntu. But it gives me the error message: "udevd-event [1412] run_program /sbin/modprobe"
how I can install Ubuntu on my HP Compaq 621 Laptop?
I will be buying a laptop in the coming months for college and my intention is to run Ubuntu as my primary operating system, but I still want to have Windows 7 as a crutch. I know there are multiple ways to do this (Wubi, seperate hard drives etc.) but I was wondering if it were possible to just install it and if there were an option to partition your existing hard drive so they are virtually seperate from each other.
