I did a full install of 9.10 on my Dell Inspirion 1200 laptop & use a Dell 1350 card, after several posts and replies I went to [URL]and followed the instructions for Ubuntu/Debian. This is the result I get....
mike@mike-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[sudo] password for mike:
Reading package lists... Done

I followed this procedure before installation (live CD) and it successfully found and installed the firmware. Apparently it was saved in live CD. What do I need to do?
just loaded 9.10 and trying to install the NDIS wrapper so I can use my USB wirless adaptor. Executed the command
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 as read in one of the forums and received the following error:
E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
both the tar version and the unzippedversion are on my desktop but I'm not sure they are installed and I don't know what to install. I've clicked every file in every folder most seem to be instructions not what I know as executables.
I had installed Ubuntu server 10.04 and i am trying to install Webmin for GUI. When i start with "sudo apt-get install update" the following gets displayed...

I had configured correct IP address and i am connected with internet. After googling for some time i figured out that missing repository could cause such problem, which i am not sure.

Linux noob, and I'm trying to install a little program on my rootserver, but it requires libboost and libboost-dev. Unfortunately ubuntu can't seem to find the packages and google does not help either. The only info I found was telling me to install "gnuradio" or something, which takes up 138 mb. So, how can I install these packages now?also: I cancelled the installation of gnuradio via "CTRL+C", will this cause any problems? Are there some trash files left on the system now?
I've been scratching my head on this one for a while.My level of knowledge of Linux isn't great. I know enough to be dangerous. I'm trying to get Webmin installed to give me an easier web front to Linux. I run the command to get the prereq's.
So I can see that it can't find libnet-ssleay-perl I bit of searching around leads me to the sources.list file which tells apt-get where to get the packages I think. This is as follows.

using nvidia_173 driver from repository with nvidia geforce fx5500 sping returns this: Could not set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual would installing nvidia-glx-173 package be the solution? just realized i had the nvidia_173 driver activiated, but not in use. ran "sudo nvidia-xconfig" boots in tty1, so i navigated to the X11 directory and deleted xorg.conf, boots to gnome now
how do i keep it from going to tty1? i know there are threads on this here and there, but most leave you with the default driver, and i want to keep nvidia_173

I'm trying to install some nvidia drivers but I need to install the correct headers. uname -r says: 2.6.31-21-serverbut I can't find the headers anywhere to install. 2.6.31-21 and 2.6.31-21-generic are installed but not the server version. It's not showing up in synaptic and using apt-get I get the error message in the title.I have 2.6.31-22-server headers but for some reason when I boot into 2.6.31-22 the OS can't see my 3ware cards and, obviously, the arrays they control. So, I can't use 2.6.31-22 yet.

I have a compaq Presario C500 windows vista and I installed Ubuntu natty Ubuntu 11.04 by using Wubi.What I really need right now is an executable b43-fwcutter, and I don't know how to get it. When I boot up in Ubuntu, I've got no wireless. There's an access point I can connect to (if not using Ubuntu), but Ubuntu isn't activating the interface card. I've got no wired interface nor hope of one.
I slogged through countless webpages and came to the instruction [URL].. that I should install b43-fwcutter and use it on wl_apsta_mimo.o. It tells me to install using command `sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter' (sorry if that's not the proper etiquette for posting a command) but I can't install with that command because apt-get wants to use the Internet. (err msg: "E: Unable to locate package b43-cutter") So, I have wl_apsta_mimo.o and the other files that come with it in directory broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5. But I don't have b43-fwcutter and I can't figure out how to get it.
[URL].....ernet%20access tells me "b43-fwcutter is located on the Ubuntu install media under ../pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/ " but I can't find that directory. Where is it?
the title says it all really, i carn't get the wireless card to be recognised when using the b43-fwcutter firmware, it works ok using the bcmw-kernel-source (STA), but i don't want to use that one (if i can help it- even thow it is better)
the computer it's on is a DELL INSPIRON 1545, using karmic 9.10, ( it was the same under bt4 distro), iwconfig = eth0 no wireless extentions lo " no wireless extentions"....!
I am having problems making wireless work on my pc. I have searched the forums and tried several things (b43-fwcutter, among others) and I cannot get anything to work. My computer is an HP ze4900, broadcom wireless Quote:
Can't get my WiFi to work on my HP. My WiFi chip is bcm4303 (rev. 2) this is a new thread from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1400427&page=4 ) So, I reinstalled Ubuntu (fresh install) Activated the Broadcom b43leagacy Wireless driver. When rebooting, the WiFi LED on the On/Off switch blinks.
My son's desktop has Fedora 12 and a wireless card. Everything worked for a long time until one fine day the network management just disappeared from both System/Preferences menu and the panel on top.I can run a Live CD with Fedora 12 on that machine and it immediately connects to our home wireless network. Booting from hard drive has no sign of NM. Trying to run 'yum install NetworkManager-gnome' does nothing because there is no connection. Running the same command as a LiveUser from CD does seem to install everything (but where to???), no errors reported, and still the is no network functionality upon reboot from the hard drive, even when plugging to LAN with a cable.It seems that I need NetworkManager in order to go online in order to install NetworkManager.I have other computers at home that work fine, I was able to download a couple of archives with NM, but I am new to Linux and have no idea what to do with those files.I could not find any step-by-step installation guides for NM, especially when the computer has no connection at all.
