Ubuntu Networking :: Final Steps For DWA 125 With 10.04?
Feb 24, 2011
I am trying to get wireless network with Dlink DWA 125 working unter Kubuntu 10.04 (kernel 2.6.32-23, 32-bit). I already carried out all the hacks for replacing the rt28** modules by rt3070, which seems a rather common issue. What I did is described here:[URL]..Now output of usb-devices is:
One rather silly question (excuse me, never used wireless before):Is the WPA key the 10 digit hex-number labeled "network key" on my hardware ? At least I entered this one under Windows and it worked instantly x( . Even if something is wrong here, I expected some error messages. I feel I got pretty close, but I still need some help for the last few steps. Please give me a tip what might help or how to get some useful error information.
I have tried everything and it has been 2 weeks of build time. I have Fedora 12, Apache 2.2, MySQL, and PHP installed on my computer. I have built a virtual host for Apache that works (for the most part). The virtual host references the directory "/home/username/public_html". When I put in my domain it goes to the right folder and accesses the files (permissions = 755). I sut down SELinux so that is not an issue.
Here is my problem: I can not get php to link to other php files called in the same folders or sub folders. The WebServer is telling me that the file does not exist. For instance, I have a login script that shows up on Index.php. This file is in "/code/login_script/login.php". In short I can access the file but when login.php tries to call login_check.php (the code that validates the user) I get a 404 error - file "can not be found" (despite being in the same directory as login.php and have the same permissios set both to the directories it is nested in and the file itself).
I wanted to start using Fedora as a segway to RHEL for a comany I an trying to build . . . but so far it has been nothing but road blocks. I can not get to the code part as I am configuring non stop.
Let me explain: I had the 10.04 LTS Beta, and upgrading until today. I got the wireless card ( the notorious broadcom ) in the beta by adding the CD to the repository, installing through synaptic ( the broadcom drivers available from the CD ), then selecting the driver from the Hardware Device Manager, enabled, restarted and was online.
I thought the Final version would be just as smooth right? I didn't upgrade because the OS never showed up in the Beta's Software Updates, so I figured to just do a fresh install, my biggest issue with Linux in general was solely it's conflict with broadcom, never anything else. So anyway, In this Final Release, I go to do the same routine, check this out: The card wasn't even showing up this time, wasn't being recognized! In the beta, it atleast showed up. That's minor but would be major to a new guy.
I figured to do the synaptic again, add the cd then the b43cutter( i think it's called ) and succeeded, got the Card to show this time. When I went to add the other driver ( the bcmwl-kernel ) the file that would have the driver to be enabled, it tells me "File Not Found!" don't give me the cop out of "Hook it up to a cable modem and download the driver" bid because that just pisses people off, we don't all have the means to carry around massive PC's to a cable modem.
What I hope to expect is someone telling me to download a file and have it on the desktop then trying it that way because I know about all the other tricks, and I think you can see, I tried em. I'm curious to know why it worked in a Beta release and not now
I have a computer with both wire and wireless connections. Wired connection works fine, but I would also setup the wireless connection.(I also have a dual boot on this cumputer with WinXP where both wire and wireless connections works fine. So, wire and wireless configuration of the actual router is not an issue here.)
At this point I just want to know the main/overview basic steps of setting-up the wireless connection on the computer. Also if you could suggest any links to guidelines for these steps. I have been thinking about something simple like this, but I might have missed a lotInvestigate if Ubuntu finds the wifi-hardware - the installed wifi card.Investigate if Ubuntu have an installed driver for this wifi-card.Configure the Wireless Network connection, like SSID.Unplug wire connection and reboot.
When i insert the Live CD, whether I choose memory test, try without installing or install Ubuntu, the computer seems to continue to load without a signal going to the monitor, as if a frequency or resolution unsupported by the card or monitor was chosen.
I had a similar issue with 9.10, but this only happened after the system was installed when you got to the login screen. I can't find a 'safe graphics' option on this live CD as I could on Karmic. Are there any cheat codes I can use to enable some sort of safe graphics mode?
I am downloading the alternate installer now and going to try installing using this method. I've never done this before, do I have to setup a desktop myself using the command line with this? My computer is an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard with 2GB RAM, a GeForce 9600GT graphics card, and a DGM 23" 1920x1080 widescreen monitor connected via DVI. Also I am installing the 64 bit version, although I don't reckon this is a 64 bit only issue.
Somehow I've been really unlucky with Ubuntu 10.10. When I run the CD choose any of the three options offered by Grub, the system just waits for 20-30 seconds and gives me a screen with Green squares.
Here's a video I made when 10.10 was in beta. The problem is still the same even in the final version. http://www.......com/watch?v=KKiks45jMEU
I have an Intel Dual Core 2.0Ghz PC with 8GB ram and an Nvidia GeForce 6200 graphics card. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on it which installs and works fine. its only the 10.10 that I have this problem with.
I would like to be able to install firefox without installing the "pre" version. I don't like running beta software for my primary browser. I already installed Namoroka, which is 3.6.1pre. Is there a repository I can add for this? I will already have to remove one of my repositories and remove firefox.
I'm interested in trying out the 10.04 beta release. Does anyone know if it will be possible to upgrade from the beta to the final version once it is released in April? Or will I have to perform a fresh install of the final version?
I try to upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, but there is no final version available when I press Alt + F2, only the release candidate. What is the problem here and what can I do?
I've got 1 * 250 and 2 * 500GB HDDs.I mounted the 250 as '/' and 1 * 500GB as '/home'. What should I mount the final 500GB as (and how do I mount it after I've now installed it). I only want the 500GB as general storage.Also is it worth repartitioning the 250 with a dedicated section for 'swap' etc?
This is the first time in two and half years of using Ubuntu that I've had to decide to downgrade, pretty disappointed that there are so many bugs in a final release, especially the more irritating bugs such as:
After alt+tabing I can't type sometimes (I've posted about this before), after a clean install problem still persists, I alt+tab a lot so not being able to type without minimizing my window is irritating
compiz + jaunty issue of assigning a key to bring up a terminal. The bug has been confirmed but if there is a fix, it wasn't put out with the release and requires tampering (usually I'd be okay with this but coupled with the other issues I see no point in wasting time)
nvidia card with twinview - with every prior release nvidia-settings worked flawlessly with twinview. Now the biggest issue is that when I fullscreen something it takes up both screens (such as a movie), when I am trying to work on one monitor and run a movie on another one I can't fullscreen because if I do it takes up both screens. I never have had this issue with a prior release.
I guess there is a first time for everything. I'm downgrading my system as well as my girlfriends because of the known intel graphics problem (I've read the wiki's about why they chose the driver but....a final release of an OS should not contain beta/experimental drivers that freeze up a computer set as a default).
I would like to install PostgreSQL 8.5 from this link [URL], but it complains that it needs rpm-4.6.0 as dependency. It seems that CentOS does not support rpm with version bigger than 4.2.2, or am I wrong?
I installed the RC of Lucid on an old AMD X2 5600 w/4GB DDR2 ram, and put it in the other room and installed LAMP on it to use as a local development server. It works beautifully over the network.
1. There will be an upgrade option to go from RC to final release, right?
2. When upgrading, will this kill my LAMP install? I really don't wanna go from scratch now that I have it all up and running with a load of CMS systems installed for test environments
I can't install Ubuntu 11.04 32bit Desktop edition on my Dell Mini 10v. I followed the instructions from the Ubuntu website and made a bootable USB drive using the universal USB installer for windows. I put the usb drive on my netbook and prompted the boot options to boot from the usb drive. Once I got to the installation screen and attempt to install ubuntu on my hard drive it goes blank for a few moments, and a wall of text floods my screen and it stops installing.
Anybody know of any Firefox 3.5 final RPMS for Fedora 10? I looked a rebuilding the Fedora 11 RPMS for Fedora 10, but the other packages requiring an upgrade as well is getting out of control.
I have a variable (call it $valAS) that gets calculated . Also, i have a files Bassu3. if $valAS= 45368 (2nd part of 2nd line in Bassu3) after calculation, then $result=45368, but if $valAS != 45368 then $result= $valAS

I'm so excited to see how nicely Lubuntu 10.04 runs on my EeePC. I went ahead and installed it, knowing that it's just the second beta. Everything seems to be going nicely, but when I did a "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" it showed there were tons of updates (about 90MB worth). I saw updates for Chrome, the kernel, xserver-xorg, etc. I understand this is just a beta operating system and is not recommended to be used as a primary OS, but I'm just so excited and can't wait. If I stay with this install, and keep updating, would I eventually make my way to the final release? Or would you recommend doing a reinstall with the final image?
I am thinking about upgrading my home computer to the beta. Having been burned by Microsoft's RC program and reloading my kids computers, I wondering if I will be able to move to the final release when it comes out at the end of the month. If the upgrade path from Beta->LTS is a complete reinstall, I'll wait.
So i have decided to start with backtrack as my first linux operating system. i have the live cd, it works just fine (tested with vmware) i have several options as to how to boot in, I choose my option but it just goes to a black screen unless i select boot using ram. I have 4gb memory, 500 gb hard drive, 2.5 ultimate core dual processor.
I have been fighting with a sed statement trying to get it to remove everything in a string until the last match and have been failing badly. how to get this to work..
sed --> enterprises.9.9.171.1.5.2.1.1.5 returns 5
I want sed to strip everything out until the last period. The final digit can and will change. Some parts before the final period can change as well, since enterprises will sometimes also be represented as more numbers and periods.
I currently store my backup files onto 2 HDDs that I have in external USB enclosures, one is 1.5TB and the other is 2TB. They both basically mirror each other, but is done by manually copying files onto one and then the other. My goal is to have a Raid level 5 system and I know that level of Raid is a minimum of 3 disks so I'm wondering what my current options are with Raid level 5 in mind.
I can immediately wipe out one of the two drives I currently have with the second requiring some time to offload data from if it is not possible to proceed with Raid unless I have this second disk free. So my situation is this. Is it possible to do something right now with two disks and then convert to Raid level 5 later once I have a third disk without starting from scratch?
We have a linux server (centos 5.2 final), with postfix smtp server, webmin, usermin and sugar crm We need to backup all the data, and then perform a restore on a clean machine, without any OS installed yet.
I look into many pages that says that doing a backup on linux it's as easy as pack all the files in a .TAR file. Unpacking the tar will restore the system to it's original state. Also, i'm confused because if we perform a backup and mysql has active connections, perhaps the database would be inconsistent or corrupted. In the restore step, do i need a live CD in order to boot up linux command prompt? �Can it be from any linux version, or only centos version?
For many years I have programmed in all areas of Windows GUI with both the Windows API and MFC but I'm wanting to switch to ubuntu and have never programmed anything in linux before. Where would I find information for programming GUI for linux and what compilers should I use coming from a C++ background.
