Does anyone know of an official link to Ubuntu compatible 3G USB Dongles. I am looking for those that are "open", meaning not sold and locked by a carrier like AT&T, or T-Mobile.I want to travel with it and use it in any country with a local SIM and data plan.I am currently using Ubuntu 9.10 but can upgrade if need be.

1) I don't know for sure if it's related but all of the icons on my desktop (files located in desktop) have little lock symbols in the upper right-hand corner of the icon.
2) I cannot open files from the desktop (because they are evidently locked)
3) I cannot open any of the folders listed when I go to "Places" (between Applications and System top of the screen) Running nautilus from the terminal, I CAN go to different folders and open files in the usual manner.
I have toyed with the idea of building some systems with Ubuntu to sell locally. Most of the systems I see advertised in the local papers seem WAY over priced, so I thought I could make a few bucks by selling competitive systems. However, I would rather send them out with Ubuntu on them. Maybe the $100 savings over the other OS might get a few more people trying out Ubuntu.
However, I would rather have the system installed, but have it go through some of the questions from the normal install to set up the user accounts, computer name etc... I would not want systems going with with usernames and computer names that I selected.
I have done some searching, and have found "how to's" for making your own install disk (custom packages already part of it, back grounds etc...) but that is not really what I want. Plus, an install like this could then be an easy way for local computer shops to sell computers with Ubuntu.
I've been having a lot of trouble with getting wireless networking devices to work. I guess I have a lot of company, since mfrs don't seem to be very interested in supporting Linux.It seems that one common symptom is that, when I try to "Ping" using the Terminal, I get "network is unreachable".Does this mean anything specific, or is it a general output whenever the network is not carrying on two way communications? Does it mean that the wireless interface is down? Does it mean that the wireless hardware is not transmitting? Not receiving?

The phone number, user and password all are correct and I can connect to the internet in the windows as I post this post in the windows.

I have a HP Pavillion DV7 laptop running Ubuntu 10.04, and I am having some problems with Ubuntu handling a network connection. Every so often, I leave my computer in locked mode overnight to download something. But, when I do this, the network just deactivates early on [there is a symbol of a blank wireless symbol with a red "?" by it]. Both the wireless and wired network connections are deactivated, and I am using a wired connection. This also sometimes happens in suspend mode, too, but less often. I have to restart my computer before it will connect again, as logging out and back in again does not suffice.

Now the Q150 will not boot. It locked up after the modprobe and I was forced to use the power switch. I was using a fresh install of maverick amd64.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just recently setup our network with an Ubuntu server which is being accessed by one Ubuntu workstation with nfs, & one XP workstation with Samba. Following instructions from the web, I set permissions like this:
sudo chmod 777 /media/Data sudo chown -R curley:curley /media/Data The problem is that files created in Samba are locked from nfs & vice/versa. I am assuming I need to add the nfs network share to the Curley group or use something more global than curley to make this work?
Samba is working ok from Ubuntu when browsing through Nautilus, but there is no access to shares when doing things like uploading or downloading files to the web (the "save file" window only shows local folders). So I guess I wouldn't mind just using Samba if I could map a folder in Samba to solve that problem.
I have two dual-booted Windows/Ubuntu machines--one desktop and one laptop--and both have SSH servers installed. At home, I use port-forwarding to connect to these servers externally.
I am interested however, in being able to connect to my laptop's ssh server no matter where it is. I am interested in this partly due to anti-theft precautions and partly just curiosity. I know there is anti theft software that lets you remotely modify your computer--from ANY IP address--and I want to know if you can do this with SSH. Imagine someone stole my laptop and connected to the internet in a random location. Assuming i somehow know this ip address, is there any way I could SSH to it? (I doubt the router would forward port 22 or whatever to this computer...)
I started my computer with a problem that all of the windows without title bars. I tried to logout my laptop, and the problem was solved. I opened one terminal window, type 'who', founded that i was login the system as 'tty8'. That was really funny, I know that if i login the system normally i may login the system as 'tty7'. why i login as 'tty8' when logout one time? My edition is ubuntu 10.04.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an USB (Huawei 1751) modem for mobile broadband. I had it up and running in Ubuntu 9.10 but I had to clear the computer for various reasons. I have decided to only use LTS versions so for the reinstall I have used Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I have downloaded and installed usb_modeswitch and can see that the modes is changed to the right value. After that I wanted to add a new mobile broadband connection in the network connections wizzard - but cannot see any settings for mobile broadband. I am sure it must be possible - but where is this function hidden in version 8.04 ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just switched to Ubuntu from Win 7 RC. So far its been fun, learning to use terminal and all. But I have got a problem now I cannot find a solution to.
I am using 3 Mobile Broadband. The thing just worked - I plugged it in, created a new connection, modified config a little and was happily browsing.
However, it started acting out yesterday. When I boot the system with the modem plugged in, the USB stick is recignised and NetworkManager starts connecting (I have auto connect on). It then shows the "connected" message, and generally appears working fine.
On the other hand, I cannot open a single page in Firefox, it shows the default server not found page.
I used the approach Windows taught me: close, open, retry. I unmount the 3 Mobile Broadband drive, pull the modem out and reconnect it. NetworkManager then does it's job and this time everything works.
I nether had this problem in Win7 or Vista. It looks to me something goes wrong during the booting when the modem is plugged in.
I have bought reliance netconnect broadband+ 3.1 Mbps connection. I am provided Huawai EC1260 device to make the connection.But using ubuntu 9.1 I am not able to make the connection work. I have tested the device in windows XP and it's working fine there. I don't want to use windows and desperate to establish the connection in Ubuntu 9.1.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI decided to give 10.04 a shot, and upon first boot, I was able to setup and use my Rogers Rocket mobile broadband stick. When I rebooted, I found that it was in the network settings, but I was unable to connect, nor did it show up as an option in the drop-menu. I played with the terminal trying to see if anything was wrong, but everything seems normal, which is to say I don't even know what I'm looking for in regards to this type of connection.
I obviously know now that it works, I just don't know what made it stopped for the time being. I'm thinking of doing a fresh install over the current partition, and trying to work the issue from there.
I recently made a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and my mobile broadband no longer works. When I plug it in, the set-up wizard does not appear, and even when I run the wizard manually, the modem is not recognised. I know the modem works as when the laptop ran 9.10 it all worked perfectly.
For the record, it is a Huawei E1550 and has 3 Mobile Broadband Pay-as-you-go.
