Ubuntu Networking :: Compiling Rt2870 Driver From Source
Apr 19, 2011
I'm trying to install the rt2870 driver on my server running Ubuntu Server 8.04. I've installed build-essential, checkinstall, cvs, subversion, git-core, mercurial... After uncompressing the tarball, doing a "sudo make" gives me this output:
I am very new to Ubuntu and if I could get internet I'm sure I would love it as it appears very speedy! I don't want to resort to reloading Windows just because of this!I've managed to install the RT2870.inf driver for my Belkin wireless adaptor but couldn't install the sys file. Hence my adaptor still won't work - well I think this is why but hoping someone can enlighten me step by step.
i don't have connection in my compuer write now so i whant to install RT2870 driver but i don't know how i found this tutorials [URL] but i can't install may be i have error in choise package this is my kernel version Linux Ouz3r4 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:17:40 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux i found this driver too [URL] but how to install
In order to configure a dual display in a fresh 11.4 installation, I am attempting to install the nVidia driver according to the instructions in SDB:NVIDIA the hard way - openSUSE. I have not previously compiled or configured a kernel so I largely followed the instructions from OpenSUSE 11.2 - How to compile a Kernel for Newbies.The currently installed kernel is 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop. The graphics card is an ASUS EN9600GSO (512MB).
In Yast, I installed gcc, make, kernel-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2) and kernel-desktop-devel (v. 2.6.37.1-1.2). Per the "hard way" instructions, I did not install kernel-source.
I am using a Sparklan WUBR-505N abgn USB dual band stick for the wireless connection on one of my Fedora 12 laptops. I have an Apple Airport Extreme BaseStation that can advertise a 5GHz connection ie it broadcasts two sids... The network manger only see the 'regular' sid and the usb stick only connects in the 2.4GHZ frequencies. Does the rt2870 driver support the 5GHz frequencies? If so how can I force a 5GHz connection?
I intend to attach WLAN PCMCIA card to my embedded system to connect to a wireless network. However, my embedded system uses a strangs OS that not supports the card driver. I think that I can investigate on how Ubuntu control the card to find out the way to control it in my system. The WLAN PCMCIA card that I can buy is:TP-Link TL-WN510G,Linksys WPC54GSCan any one tell me, how can I have the source code of WLAN PCMCIA driver and how can I find out the way Ubuntu control this card?
I have had some trouble with understanding the wireless drivers. I am using backtrack 4 R1, and the reason was merely for the network and having many necessary networking dependencies already there. However I found that I am using a HAL for the ath9k and madwifi-ng drivers, thus I must patch the card and go through all of that.
The specific distribution I am using is Backtrack 4 R1 with KDE3 and ubuntu on the 2.6.34 kernel. I know I have through an update script found the wireless drivers and downloaded them, however all attempts to get it to fully work haven't helped. I checked the forums, and it doesn't seem like they consider it a backtrack specific question but a linux specific question. I performed hwinfo and it returns ath9k and the memory address, channels 1-14, wlan frequencies(2.412,2.417, 2.422, 2.427, 2.432, 2.437, 2.442, 2.447, 2.452, 2.457, 2.462, 2.467, 2.472, 2.484. I have all modes of encryption set.
I am using both ifconfig and iwconfig with a wicd frontend to access the network typically. Unfortunately I am only seeing a wlan0 and no ath0. Furthermore, I manually issue these commands I am doing so I set each aspect of the card up (i.e essid, channel, mtu, fragmentation, etc....).
Now I did shed some light upon this in the sense that I found out how to initialize the madwifi-ng hal abstraction layer via 'start airmon-ng wlan0' and then it returns.....
mon0 ath9k py0 etc. etc. etc.( this isn't exact I am unfortunately not at my computer. But the device is then able to work, however I am not sure as to why I am not able to have the ath0 device in my wireless devices if indeed everything else appears to be ath0.
This is my first time compiling a software, I have successfully downloaded and extracted the "basic256_0.9.6.32.tgz" file,but There is no configure file present in the extracted contents,also make and checkinstall exit with error.What seems to be the problem Here is the output of errors I got during Installation
I'm trying to get an nginx/php-fpm/mysql stack setup on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS 32 bit version.
I have pretty much got everything going fine, except PHP extensions. For whatever reason when I compile php it is seeming to not compile any extensions with it ?
I've compiled and installed my rt2870sta.ko and the firmware to the correct locations but my ubuntu 10.10 is loading the one under /lib/modules/2.6.38-25-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko. How do I get it to use the correct driver? I've attached a screenshot of the module info.
I have a Sparklan WUBR-502GN USB dongle with the RT2870 chip. It has worked, (with a little effort) of previous installs of 9.04, 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10. However it refuses to work in 11.04. I followed the same procedures, (blacklisting, confirming device ID, modifying config.mk and rt_linux.h, sudo make & make install and removing staging/rt2870), outlined in past forum articles and that worked in the previous RCs, but the connection to my home network will not complete. Has something changed in 11.04 that is substantially different from past releases?
P.S. the only thing I haven�t done, since 11.04 was only installed moments before, is do the build essential and headers.
I have already open a thread in scribus forum but I am not sure if they know the solution, and I don't think is specifically related to scribus. I am receiving a generic unknown cmake error with QT5 library when try to compile Scribus 1.5, probably I need to install some library more but which?
I use Workrave on Windows to make sure that I walk away from my computer every now and then, but I can't find it in openSUSE's repositories although it is available for Linux.
Then I tried compiling it from source, but I got this error...
pdedecker@linux-s6cn:~/Desktop/workrave-1.9.3> ./autogen.sh **Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments. If you wish to pass any to it, specify them on the `./autogen.sh' command line.
Alright yall, I just got my wireless usb device to work on ubuntu 10.10. I did alot of searching and I finally figured it out. this is what I did.
1.Download the linux drivers from this post, its called Ralink_RT3572USB_drv2400.zip
2.Extract them to a directory.
3.Make sure you have build-essential installed on your computer. you can do this by opening a terminal and typing Code: sudo apt-get install build-essential 4.Now install linux headers so that you can compile the drivers. Code: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) 5.Now in your terminal goto where you extracted the Ralink_RT3572USB_drv2400 files. once in that directory type
trying to compile and install wxGTK-2.4.2,i configure with the line-./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode but when i go to make and make install i get the format not a string literal error, how can I fix this? really need wxGTK2.4 for some old apps.
So I have compiled from source a libgsf debian package. However when I go to install it dpkg complains that "libgsf depends on libgsf-1" however as you can see if you look on the debian page libgsf-1 is the same source as the ligsf package...
How can I resolve this redundant/recursive issue? For now I have just force installed my package (and it appears to be working) but if I am going to distribute it to other people I need to get this fixed.
I am running a Fedora 13 x64 . The latest kernel I get is 2.6.34.8 in testing from yumex. However I want to install 2.6.37 How do I do it, without compiling from the source (which I think is beyond my scope at this point). I am more concerned with this because I am planning to get LMDE for my notebook but I came to know that it runs 2.6.32 kernel, so would I be able to update it? There's also the Liquorix kernel that I have read about, with many people saying that its better for daily usage scenarios--is that true, and is there some major difference in code?
I'm trying to install the Avant Window Navigator by compiling the source files and installing that way. I've extracted the file avant-window-navigator-0.4.0.tar.gz, but when I run the ./configure command, I get an error.
Code:
configure: error: in `/usr/src/avant-window-navigator-0.4.0': configure: error: Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure
I've got a sitecom usb wireless adapter that uses the RT2870 chipset.I have got the rt2870sta module and have a ra0 interfaceI can set up a connection in the network tool and it recognises the usb device fine.
I'm trying to install the latest Kmess from source, but when configuring it (it's really a wrapper for cmake) I get the following error: configuring KMess 2.0.6.1
fix the problems mentioned above, and run ./configure again. For example, make sure you have the KDE 4 devel packages installed.I've done this yesterday on another computer and it worked fine once I had both libgif4 and libgif-dev installed. The problem is that I've got both of those packages installed on this computer and I still get the error.
After finally figuring out how exactly how to compile something from source, I did it with Wine. However, there's a problem, when I'm trying to play a game on Steam (Half-Life) on a TNT2 graphics card (With NVIDIA drivers 71.86 installed as well as all of the packages needed to compile Wine from source), everything either lags or has an error.
One of these errors is that OpenGL32 isn't being initialized after attempting to start the game in that mode. Another error (or I should say problem) is that in Direct3D mode, it just.. crashes lol. Also, in Software mode, it LAGS horribly and I don't think it has to do with the hardware limitations I have on this machine. I did however install the glx and gl drivers AFTER I compiled Wine, do I have to do yet another install?
I'm trying to install the calculator Qalculate from source so I download the tar.gz package for KDE from their official website to my ~/Downloads folder. I unzipped it with
Code: Select all tar xzf qalculate-kde-0.9.7.tar.gz
I moved the exploded folder to my /home/guest/ folder (my user-name is guest), I entered the qalculate-kde-0.9.7 folder and searched for a INSTALL or README file. Here's what the INSTALL file says to do. The INSTALL file says to run the following commands
After giving the first command, trouble started; here's what I got:
Code: Select allroot@aliquis:/home/guest/qalculate-kde-0.9.7# ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for -p flag to install... yes
[Code] .....
This is impossible, as I am running a fully functioning kde system. What should I do? I don't find the kde version of Qalculate in Apper...
I am trying to install MySQL by compiling source files.Using mysql-5.1.46]version./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql was fine and I am getting following error while "make"
Can someone please tell me what packages are required for compiling source on Slack 13? Something is missing in my box and I get errors, I can't figure out what it is.
I tried getting a Belkin USB Wireless adapter:N150 to work in a fresh installation of 10.4 with no success. After reading several forum posts I tried both solutions with ndiswrapper and the XP driver and with the Ralink native driver with no luck.
