Ubuntu :: Microsoft Wireless Desktop Battery Level?

Aug 30, 2010

I have searched every now and then (every time the batteries act up) to find a way to get the battery level from my keyboard and mouse. It seems like the most basic thing, but it also seems unsolved in all the threads I have found.

Mouse: Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 [Model:1007]
Keyboard: Microsoft Wireless Photo Keyboard [Model:1027]
Ubuntu 9.10
Kernel 2.6.31-22-generic
Gnome 2.28.1

Ubuntu :: 10.04 : Sudden Shutdown When Battery At 43% Level?

Jan 17, 2011

I run Ubuntu 10.04 on a HP dv2000 laptop with 2GB RAM. I see a strange problem with my system. When running on battery and the level hits about 43% (+- 1%), the system shuts down suddenly. No warning and no information in logs either. Temperature of both cores are below 50 C. I have tried cleaning the dust withing the laptop chasis but no progress.

I have done quite some research on this and other forums but haven't found anybody else with similar problem.

Ubuntu :: Checking Battery Level In Mp3 Player ?

Mar 19, 2011

I have an Archos Vision A15VS mp3 player which I am recharging through the usb connection of my laptop. Unfortunately, as far as I can see, there is no way of checking the battery state during the process as the screen of the player only shows a usb icon when the lead is connected.

This means that I don't have a visual confirmation that the battery is actually charging!

Obviously I could simply unmount the device, check the microscopic battery icon on the screen, and if not showing "full" repeat the process.

Ubuntu :: How To Install Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection 7

Jan 28, 2011

If you do a search on the web you can find where to download Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection 7 client (rdp client). To get it to work under Wine (I used Crossover Office) actually was pretty simple. You will need to copy four files from an existing Windows 7 system. Two of them, mstc.exe and mstscax.dll are located in the C:WINDOWSsystem32 directory. The other two files, mstsc.exe.mui and mstscax.dll.mui, are located in a subdirectory within C:WINDOWSsystem32.

The name of the subdirectory will depend on the language and locale of the Windows system you are using. If your language is English and you are in the USA, they will be located in C:WINDOWSsystem32en-us. Copy those 4 files to some temporary directory on your Linux system. Next create a new Wine Windows XP "bottle". Use either Crossover or Wine to browse to the SAME wine C: drive subdirectories as on the Win7 PC (see above) and copy the respective files into each subdirectory in your Wine Bottle. Two files each into 2 different directories.

Next using either Crossover or Wine execute the RDC 7 application.
wine mstsc.exe
In Crossover you can just click the button the RUN a COMMAND and just enter "mstsc.exe". The RDC login screen should appear prompting for a Server address and a login ID. You can also change various other "options". I have not tested alot but it does seem to work pretty well so far.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Wireless Drops Out When Running On Battery?

Feb 27, 2010

I just got a Lenovo Thinkpad x100e. Everything seems to be running well, with this exception of the wireless adapter. When running on the battery the wireless runs for about 30secs to 1 minute before dropping out. The NetworkManager says it's still connected, but nothing goes across the network. Disabling and then re-enabling the wireless works, for about 30 sec to a minute. The weird thing is this behavior DOESN'T occur when the power adapter is plugged in.

I'm wondering what power management parts I should be looking at? I'm running OpenSuSE 11.2, KDE 4.3.5 if that helps.

General :: Remote Desktop Version 6 For System (Microsoft RDP V6)?

Aug 14, 2009

I'm trying to connect to a Win XP computer via Remote Desktop/Terminal Server. (Note: WinXP refers to Remote Desktop, or RDP; Ubuntu uses Terminal Server client for this function.)

The problem is that my XP computer requires the use of Microsoft's RDP version 6 because it uses a Terminal Server Gateway. The TS client in Ubuntu is compatible with version 5, not version 6.

Is there a MS RDP version 6 compatible program/client for Linux?

Ubuntu :: Microsoft Wireless Keyboard Stops Responding?

Dec 2, 2010

I have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 v2 and Microsoft Explorer Mouse Model 1362. The biggest issue I have right now is with the keyboard. The keyboard will start cutting out and not responding to keys. As soon as the cpu load drops then all is well. I have a PS2 keyboard that I keep plugged in just in case the load stays high and I need to type something. The mouse and the keyboard have seperate usb dongles, and when the keyboard is having issues the mouse is still working great. This tells me that either the USB radio for the keyboard gets turned off, or that something on my machine is weird. I have seen the EXACT same behaviour on 32bit and 64bit linux distros.

CPU: AMD X3 720 oc'ed to 3.22GHZ
MOBO: Biostar
RAM: 8GB
Video: HIS ATI 4890 (using FGLRX)
HD: Samsung 1TB 7200RPM drive
OS: Ubuntu 10.10 (tested also with Fedora 14, OpenSUSE 11.3)

Note: it happens with very little load and high load. Of course high load it happens all the time.

Ubuntu :: When Running Laptop On Battery Desktop Freezes

Oct 16, 2010

When I'm running the laptop on battery the desktop freezes. It doesn't matter what program I use, it also happens when I just boot the system login and do nothing. I then have no mouse, no keyboard - so no key combination works. The only thing I can do is turn the laptop off using the power button and turn it back on. Usually the desktop freezes with in 5 min after login, but I also had one case were I was able to work for about 2 hours. When I plug in the power supply everything works fine.

Hardware :: Battery Not Recognized On Laptop But As Desktop / What To Do?

Apr 19, 2011

I have installed Ubuntu (both 10.10 and 11.04 pre-release) on my laptop but my battery is not recognized and it is detected as a desktop system rather than a laptop. I have tried the cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state method but the directory doesn't exist. I have tried another guide to paste the battery info into this directory but it doesn't allow me to do that and says that the directory doesn't exist, even though I'm trying to make it. I tried it in root nautilus and even on an install of Lubuntu (with a root file manager) but it still failed to budge. I really don't know what to do as I have tried all the guides on the Internet that I could find.

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.10 Freezes When Using Wireless On Battery?

Nov 28, 2010

Unlike a lot of others, I have had no problems getting the wireless on my Dell Studio 1558 working with the STA driver. As long, as I am not on battery, that is. Within minutes of switching to battery and disconnecting from the LAN, my system freezes: I cannot move the mouse, the keyboard is useless (I can't even Ctrl-Alt to a terminal) and my only option is a hard boot.I currently have the 2.6.35-23 kernel and I have tried the following driver options for the wireless (all the below were tried with 2.6.35-22):

- the Broadcom STA driver in the repos- the latest STA dirver from Broadcom- the new broadcom driver, not yet available in ubuntu repos (brcm80211)- ndiswrapper ( I can only get win 7 drivers for my laptop, so this does not even enable the driver)My Wifi card uses the BCM43224 chipset.After a freeze, I have pored over the logs and I cannot find any obvious error messages preceding the event - so I am a little at wit's end ito resolving this. Can anybody give me any clues as to where I should start looking to resolve this issue?

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Slows Down When On Battery ?

May 31, 2011

I have Ubuntu 10.10 running on a Dell Latitude E6500 notebook and am using the Broadcom STA wireless driver (just in passing, same happens on Mint 10).

My problem is this:
- when the computer is plugged into a power outlet, wireless works fine, but
- when the computer is running on battery, it hardly works at all: The network strength indicator item still shows the same connection strength but data are not transmitted anymore or only extremely slowly (google.com might 2 minutes to load).

The drop in performance literally happens 1 sec after unplugging it, and once the notebook is plugged into external power again, it resumes after a few seconds. (I have tested this with big downloads where you can see Firefox's or the Update Manager's download speeds.) The BIOS doesn't seem to have power saving settings that make that happen, and I haven't found any in Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Installation :: Checking Battery State Is Crashing GNOME Desktop Frequently

Jul 12, 2010

Dell Optiplex GX260 (w/onboard Intel graphics) Original install was Ubuntu 9.04. Upgraded twice, first to 9.10, and 2 months or so ago to 10.04. Problem never occurred before version 10.04.

BUG HISTORY: Googling on this problem reveals that it has been around since at least Ubuntu 8.10.

I'll be working away and all of a sudden the entire desktop blows off the screen and is replaced with a console stuck in a loop. The last message I always see in the console is "Checking battery state", then the endless looping begins.

The only way out is CTRL+ALT+SYSRQ+K (kills Xserver, I think) followed by CTRL+ALT+SYSRQ+B (reboots system).

NOTE: If I attempt to restart Xserver, Ubuntu goes into an endless console loop with the same "Checking battery state" message. Does that help anyone figure out what's going on?

I have tried to remove any laptop program that manages power and they uninstall ubuntu-desktop. What gives with Ubuntu's GNOME being dependent on laptop utilities? I'm running a desktop and have no need of laptop utilities.

I have gone to the extreme of starting Ubuntu in Recovery Mode, dropping to a root shell with networking, then removing GNOME and Xserver completely and re-installing them both. The problem STILL occurs.

I have used the following commands to accomplish this:

This problem has made Ubuntu extremely unreliable, as it can crash at any time and DOES... MANY TIMES in a day!

Ubuntu Networking :: 11.04 - Slow Wireless When On Battery Power

Sep 1, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 32Bit on an ASUS Eee PC 1015PX. I have found a strange anomaly concerning wireless connection when running on battery power. I have been experiencing very slow performance when connecting to my home NAS and also the internet through a wireless connection when using my netbooks internal wireless card (Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)) when running on battery power. The card works fine and connects at full speed when running on mains power but as soon as I switch to battery power the card connects to the internet/network fine but the connection speed is very slow indeed. I am using the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA propriety wireless driver.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Wireless Disabled After Complete Battery Drained

Aug 16, 2010

I have 64bit ubuntu 10.04 installed on lenovo ideapad y450. recently, i ended up using the laptop on battery till it died and the wireless doesnt' seem to work after i restarted the laptop after connecting the AC adapter.

When i go to network manager, i see wireless is grayed out and it says it is disabled ( the hard switch on the laptop for wireless is turned on).

Doing some research on forums, i did a sudo lshw -C network and the first line of it says *-network DISABLED and the description is for wireless interface. I can't post the output of the laptop as i don't have a LAN connection or a usb drive to which is can copy and then post it here.

The product is PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [shiloh] Network Connection from Intel

When i did the rfkill list, i got:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Connection Lost When Using Battery Power?

Dec 18, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition on a Dell Mini 9 - worked around a few wireless issues on setup and connectivity has been fine, but now I'm suddenly losing wifi when I unplug my AC adapter. It still shows me as connected, but when I try to view web pages in Chromium, it will load pages for a few seconds, and then suddenly cuts out - though it still looks like it's trying to load the page.

It's the same if I boot on battery power - it will keep trying to connect to wifi but won't until I plug in the adapter. I'm assuming this probably has something to do with my power management preferences in battery mode, but I'm still pretty new to Ubuntu, and I'm not sure how to fix this. I've played with the options in power management, but I have a feeling there has to be more. Can anyone help me? This has been really frustrating.

Ubuntu Networking :: Slow Wireless Connection When On Battery Power

Mar 21, 2011

I have a problem with my wireless where when running the laptop from the battery the connection is very slow. When the laptop is connected to the power supply everything is fine, but the moment it's disconnected and run on the battery the speed drops when browsing the Internet or accessing files on other computers on my network.

The laptop is a Samsung SF310
Wireless chipset is BCM4313

Code:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
Subsystem: Wistron NeWeb Corp. Device 051a
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at f4c00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: wl

In attempt to fix this I installed the latest drivers from the Broadcom site using this guide. When I enabled these drivers everything worked well. I did speed test and got the same speeds I get when connected via Ethernet:

Ping 51ms
DL 4.31
UL 0.65

So I set the drivers to load at boot using this forum post as a guide as the steps in the Broadcom guide didn't work and rebooted the laptop on battery power. The wireless connected fine, but the slow speed problem had returned. Running a speed test got the following results

Ping 235
DL 0.54
UL 0.30

So I ran iwconfig when running from battery and then from power supply.
Code:
xxxx@xxxx ~ $ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11 Access Point: Not-Associated
Link Quality:5 Signal level:215 Noise level:160
Rx invalid nwid:0 invalid crypt:0 invalid misc:0
As can be seen the signal quality is 5 and signal level 215

Code:
xxxx@xxxx ~ $ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11 Access Point: Not-Associated
Link Quality:5 Signal level:214 Noise level:164
Rx invalid nwid:0 invalid crypt:0 invalid misc:0

And when connected via the power supply the signal level is 5 and signal level 214. There may be some kind of power saving issue, although there are no relevant setting in the BIOS and I can't see anything in the various wireless control pannels. I have other wireless drivers and there are no problem with those.

Fedora Networking :: Wireless At Run Level 3 Using Public Wifi With Lynx?

Aug 5, 2009

I have been trying to test the use of X window forwarding over SSH in a cafe. The Cafe's WiFi requires login via a web browser. Using Fedora 11 with Gnome on a Dell Latitude D600 laptop, the wireless works just fine. I am able to use a virtual terminal to ssh to my server at home. NX client/server works also. However, when I change to Run Level 3 on the Laptop in order to use X Window forwarding, wireless networking fails to function. Will wireless networking function at Run Level 3, and if so, how is that accomplished? Also, if I get Wireless to work at Run Level 3, will I be able to login to the free public wifi using Lynx or some other text browser, as I can with IE and Firefox?

OpenSUSE :: Move Transparently Between Run Level 3 And Run Level 5 As Autologin User?

Aug 10, 2010

I've been able to kludge a kill script which finds the correct pid for the kdeserver (or gnome server) after my system comes up in run level 5 so I can drop back to run level 3 mode. Lots of experimentation showed me that using telinit 3 and telinit 5 would occasionally leave the video memory in a mess and I would have the black screen of death.

I set the security parameter setting to autologin for me since I am the only user of my machine, but I still have to kludge the default setting under sysconfig (the DEFAULT_WM) under Window Manager to pick a certain window manager, so it takes time to manually switch the desktop.

Right now I can leave the gui and drop back to cli, but painful experimenting showed me that killing the X server is a no no. Right now I kill the kde server, which sends the SIGTERM to the X windows manager, which then figures out that it has to shut down.

Questions: Is there a better way of doing this? Apparently openSUSE figures that we have multiple users logging into the gui desktop, so the gui is always kept running and a login window with the desktop manager option forces the user to login in. With autologin, this never happens, but no choice of desktop is possible on the fly.

Can some type of script be set up to painlessly enable this to happen? And what is the best way of bringing either the Gnome or KDE desktop manager down gracefully? I do get lots of error messages as the system attempts to recover and X shuts down. It appears that apparently the single user with autologin is left out in the cold.
