Ubuntu Networking :: Ndiswrapper-dkms Won't Open From Drop-down Menu?
Mar 8, 2011
I have (had?) ndiswrapper-dkms installed, and used it to get a wireless card working. After a kernel update, the card stopped working, and I tried to re-install it. Part of the directions included doing -r to about everything connected to the original install. Now I still show "Windows Wireless Drivers" in the drop-down menu, but when I click on it, it "flashes" for a split-second, and then disappears.'ve tried re-installing it from Synaptic, and doing "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms" but it just returns saying that I already have the latest version.
i've patched the source files to be installed on f14 and finally got a succesfull install, ndiswrapper -l comes back with driver installed and presentwhen i run modprobe ndiswrapper i get "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found" after many hours of google searching and reading various threads i cannont seem to find a solution to this apart from manualy coping the ndiswrapper.ko file but when i use that solution modprobe starts ndiswrapper but there is no wlan0 present in iwconfig.now for some reason even wheni move the ndiswrapper.ko file manually it still is giving me that error. this worked earlier as i mentioned but then i reinstalled ndiswrapper hoping something went wrong but still got the same error so i tried that same fix and i'm still getting that error. i can't figure out what i migt've done differently earlier but i'm not having any luck.
I'm a bit of a newbie, so here is a newbie questionHow do i change my desktop menu, so that it becomes drop-down panels in the top instead of a menu on the left-hand side?I need the answer carved out in stone in order to understand
just want to report "Right Mouse Click Freeze" on Ubuntu 10.10. When I click on anything with my right mouse button to open options menu it freezes and does not open menu. Sometimes when I shake my mouse left/right a bit it opens that menu, but this does not work always. It seems like xserver issue, but I'm not sure since I'm not expert in linux yet. It's very annoying issue that I would like to resolve asap.
My System Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Western Digital 250 GB Hard Drive Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (Kernel Linux 2.6.35-22) (Used Desktop Install CD)
When clicking on a program to start from the drop down menu (latest example being Quadrapassel) the program starts but then the tab at the bottom of the screen disappears and the program doesn't load.
I have Ubuntu 10.10 and I had Wine uninstalled it then reinstalled and now it wont show up in my Applications menu, It was there the first time I installed though.
received my invite for google music then I quickly realized the Music Manger isn't for Linux yet. So after searching around a bit I found this script that was suppose to make it run under wine which it did, but also after running that script my applications menu no longer drops down any help would be greatly appreciated I'm on Ubuntu 10.04
On any video I play, the picture is on top of the drop down menus for the player so they can't be seen- they drop down and work and can see the parts that are to the sides of the video picture. This happens on every video player I have tried -Movie player GNOME MPlayer, VLC. The image that shows the problem had to be taken with a camera as using the screen capture looked as though the video picture wasn't even there (image also attached)
I'm currently tweaking ubuntu to my liking. I got rid of the "menu bar" and replaced it with the "Main Menu". I don't like the black arrow on the Main Menu so I followed the instructions to get rid of it posted hereI got to the part where I type "sudo make" However, I get the exact error posted hereI tried to follow the solution, I installed libpanel-applet2-dev using synaptic. I tried to edit the "Makefile" in the directory /var/cache/apt-build/build/gnome-panel-2.30.2. However, when I opened this make file I did not find any line calledpanel-compatibility.$(OBJEXT) panel.$(OBJEXT) applet.$(OBJEXT)
When I right-click on firefox, the menu that appears is sometimes quite long depending on where on the screen I click, and usually the top option dissappears under that top Panel of Gnome shell, so that I have to guess and click on the panel to get an "Open in New Tab" (which is usually my first option.) Is there a way to make it remain within the visible area or something? I'm on Fedora 15 64-bit.
In the top left corner the "places and system" menus drop down, but the "applications" menu does not. It just highlights, but nothing shows up. Any ideas how to fix this?
The drop down menu will not close automatically when move mouse outside the menu block ,it just disappear when you click outside the menui use gnome desktop
On any video I play, the picture is on top of the drop down menus for the player so they can't be seen- they drop down and work and can see the parts that are to the sides of the video picture. This happens on every video player I have tried -Movie player, GNOME MPlayer, VLC. Running Mint 9 on an Elonex webbook.Completely new to Linux so may be missing something obvious.
I want to disable Reboot and Shutdown options from the drop down menu in Ubuntu 9.10. I tried this:[URL] I also tried to modify the gdm.conf file, but the changes I made, made no difference.
This happened all of a sudden, the System menu has nothing to offer but 'help and support' and 'About GNOME'. I tried restarting X, also removing the theme i was using but did not help.
So I've been messing around with the opacity settings in ccsm and I can't figure out how to make the drop menu color completely transparent.. I can adjust the opacity in ccsm, but that also changes the opacity of the tekst, and that's not so good..
I'm trying to drag and drop apps from my applications menu and into cairo dock, but the icon won't drag, it did in karmic but i don't think lucid lets me, how do i enable that.
i have a problem with th home folder button. When I click the button from the drop down ''PLACES'' menu i get this "Error File not found'' but if i go to places>computer>home folder, then it opens. If i type in ''CWD" i get this "/home/piepie''.so the home folder does exist, and if i type /home/piepie is a directory.
I realise KPDF is quite old now but as this issue may recur when I move to a newer distro (well, newer than Hardy) with Okular I thought I'd better ask.I use Gnome, but prefer KPDF to evince when viewing PDF files. However, KPDF's "Open Recent" list behaves very oddly - there's no apparent way to clear it, and items which were on the list one day aren't on it another day (coinciding with old items reappearing on the list).
Is there any way to clear this list?Similarly, is there any way to clear the list of recently opened files in the "Location" drop-down box in File-Open? (which also seems to mysteriously lose list items inbetween reboots).
I was wondering how to make, what i know (ok vaguely remember) as a .bat file, or how to add a executable file to the drop down menues.i got freecol 0.9, and i can run it if i go into terminal, cd to the directory then type in java -Xmx256M -jar FreeCol.jarI bit obtuse, looking to know how to streamline.
when i used windows there was this wonderful editor named Notepad++.it was perfect(it still is) some of its best and useful features of it (for me) was:
1-open all files in a folder when drag and drop the folder on it 2-search and replace a statement in all open files 3-have an extended mode which include special characters like
and so on.. i want to know if there is an editor with this feature in ubuntu?
I'm currently using Ndiswrapper for my wireless usb card that uses the RTL8187B Chipset on Ubuntu 8.04. To get myself to connect I have to run "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" everytime. Is there a way I can connect automatically?
I have Ubuntu 9.10. My USB WG111v3 Wireless Card uses the rtl8187 driver. This driver is buggy. I would like to use Ndiswrapper instead. How to make it so Ubuntu doesn't load the rtl8187 driver but Ndiswrapper instead?
So after a quick look around the forums, I haven't seen anything on removing ndiswrapper. What I have done is removed ndiswrapper via synaptic. Now in order to start my wireless card I have to issue:
rmmod ndiswrapper modprobe ath9k ifconfig wlan0 up
Basically this is a pain. Does anyone know how to get rid of ndiswrapper completely and set things up to use ath9k automatically?
