Ubuntu :: On 10.04 Installation, Bcmwl Driver Not Working
May 1, 2010
i have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Dell XPS M1530. Previously, i got the bcmwl proprietary driver to work when i was trying the live cd. for some reason, when i installed it however, it did not work the same. when ubuntu booted when i installed it, it did not sense the proprietary driver. so i went in to the ubuntu disc itself and got the bcmwl driver and the dkms packages. so i try to install both of them with dpkg -i as root. dkms installed successfully, however, the bcmwl driver gave me this:
root@Ryan-PC:/home/ryan/Desktop# dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 122807 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3 (using bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb) ...

I am using my ATI Radeon 9550 display card but just can't adjust it to 1920x1080 resolution in ubuntu 9.10. I can't even start ATI Catalyst Control Center and i believe there is something wrong with the driver. When i try to start ATI Catalyst this message pop up "There was a problem initilizing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig."
Everything works fine in Ubuntu 8.10.

I m trying to get the b43-fwcutter working with a b4312:14e4315 chipset, it works on 10.04 intill i have to re-boot (?) then it just has no wireless at all, i�ve tried upgrading the kernel to 2.6.32 using ubuntu 9.10 but i get the error status 10 build failed. I am pretty new to linux (and to great with computers full stop), i�ve tried following tutorials i have found but each time i end up with no wireless or a installed driver that doesn't detect any app...
I have managed to get the STA driver working in the new kernel, but when i install b43-fwcutter and remove the bcmw-kerenel-source and re-boot i have no driver at all (?), i am really out my depth here but would like to get it working without it crashing like i get with 10.04

I recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu 10.10. I thought it was awesome...still do. OK, the problem is i was prompted to install some proprietary drivers and so i did but thats when the problems started. After reboot i couldn't get the GUI or gdm (not sure what to refer it to) to work. It goes directly to a terminal screen every time so i actually reinstalled Ubuntu and tried installing the drivers all different ways but no luck. i also can get into recovery mode and do low graphics. the driver version im trying to get working is nvidia 260.19.12. my graphics card is a geforce 7 series cant remember the number i have a 32bit processor.

When I first got ubuntu, I had problem installing some programs on it; installation of a download would stop midway and the black box would come up and say "encountered error in bcmwl-kernel-source" or something like that. The same thing happens when I try to install updates.Now I NEED to install GAIM on my ubuntu laptop, but I tried twice and it said the same "bcmwl-kernel-source" error

I am running an Hp Pavillion dv6000 with the Broadcom card that never seems to work for Linux. I recently talked with my friend who said he found a way to get it work.following his instructions I opened Synaptic and checked the package bmcwl-kernel-source to be installed.I went through the process of it all and it said it had install successfully. I restarted the computer and when I tried to enter my operating system I got this error "Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block(8,1)"
I have previous versions of Linux on my computer so I can still get in to those if need be but I don't know how to undo what I did or why it isn't working for that matter. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this error and how I can fix it?

I installed it on a Dell Inspiron 531 with the GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 built in video card. From the recommend driver list I installed �NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended
Well, turns out it should not have been recommended. I had restarted and all I got was a low res ubuntu logo and a boot right into a full screen terminal. Tried startx and got a no screens found, I look online for about an hour last night and decided to just reinstall, which takes a couple hours when installing all the packages.
I have done more research today and found to install the latest linux x64 driver from nVidias website, which I did, but it does not run. I followed some more instructions and it said to do a �sudo chmod +x <file>� which I did, and it starts to open and I get �You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.�
I�m starting to get a little frustrated here, guess I�m just used to a lot of the ease of windows and assumed that something like installing a graphics card driver would be easy.

In lmms there is no sound and it says:
No audio-driver working - falling back to dummy-audio-driver
in the command prompt. Sound works everywhere else just not lmms.

I just deleted my windows XP and installed Ubuntu 9.10 earlier this morning. I used wired connection to get drivers for my wireless network card.
When I did lspci, the very last line states:
Network Controller: Broadcom Coporation BCM4311 902.11b/g WLAN(rev 01)
I used the System -> Administration -> Hardware Driver and found 2 drivers. I have tried them both to connect to my D-Link Router. Neither of which worked.
For Broadcom B43 Driver, the wireless is able to detect wireless networks. However, it fails to establish connection.
For Broadcom STA Driver, the wireless cannot even detect wireless networks available.
What is the issue here and how do I resolve it so that I am able to connect onto the internet wirelessly?

Since the last driver error I had posted the thread was starting to drift WELL off the original issue so now I am opening a new thread since it IS a whole different problem in general;So, I was having issues with my driver not being enabled. After I installed it manually it appeared to be correct how-ever when I ttried to enable special effects, and compiz, it didn't work.And even after a correct installation of the driver some windows when they pop up look like static then appear.Graphics card is an:nVidia 6150SE onboard card.I know it can handle compiz, and effects, because it did before on the other version of ubuntu I had.

Pretty self explanatory, I can't get the NVidia driver to work with my laptop's 310M. And yes I have tried both steps in .64&postcount=9, but to no avail. The two error messges I'm seeing are "(EE) No devices detected." and "Fatal server error: no screens found".

Was having an xorg problem earlier now resolved but now the screen is extremely unstable and bouncing. I checked my ATI Fire GL driver and it is installed and working fine.
Is there a CLI I can enter and see the issue or perhaps 10.10 and my drivers are conflicting?
EDIT: I see in synaptic I have nvidia drivers and something called a nouveau display driver. Can I remove those since I run an ATI card?

I've got a friend who, after experiencing the horrors of Vista and me telling of the wonders of Linux, decided to switch. However, her Wifi is not working. I typed in 'lspci -nn', and it seems that two things came up; a Broadcom BCM4401 and an Atheros AR2413. Does the computer have two Wifi cards? Which do I need the driver for, or both? Which brings me to my second question; where do I find and how do I install a driver?

I'm using a Dell with Broadcom bcmwl6.inf driver. I tried the guides using ndiswrapper, but they didn't work for me. What worked was simply going to System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers and activating the Broadcom STA proprietary driver. That sounds great, but every time I restart, I have to remove and install the driver from Hardware Drivers.
What should I do to keep the driver loaded and claimed at the start. This is my lshw -C network before and after removing and installing wireless card driver.

My problem started with the following post.[URL]I ended up tracing the issue back to openGL that disappeared during an update and the nvidia driver had broken. The only remaining issue is that the 3D acceleration on the NVIDIA (GeForce 8600 GT) card will not activateURL]hich I have done many times now. I am now on the nvidia-173 driver as that one seems to be working the best. Even the nvidia-settings is having trouble and crashes when I try to look at the OPENGL/GLX information.I have found many instances of jockey showing that the driver is "active but not in use" which is what I am seeing. The problem is that the 3D acceleration is not working and the issue seems to be the driver.

when I updated from 10.04 to 10.10 beta, I lost my wireless on my Gateway MX3410 laptop. In 10.04, the wireless Realtek RTL8185 card was auto-detected, worked with the default driver.
So I installed the linux driver version of Realtek RTL8185. Although the driver shows up in the "Additional Drivers" panel under "Administration", the computer is not recognising the driver.
Below is all the specs of the current situation.
Gateway MX3410 Computer
OS: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
2.6.35-22-generic x86_64
lspci:
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)

I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04, and I noticed that the nvidia driver are not working all well as they did before.
Although I get the nvidia logo when X starts, the 3d part does not work well. For example using mplayer -vo gl does not work anymore. When I type glxinfo I get the x error of failed request badwindow message. More anonyingly flash will crash when going to fullscreen.
The 2d part of the drivers seem fine because xvinfo and -vo xv works fine.

I used Gefoce9400GT , 190.53 nvidia driver, configuring Mulitiple X screen both CRT and TV, work fine if CRT and TV connected to card, but I hope foce TV-out output signal, means that if not connected to TV, the SVIDEO can output signal. Because the line too far, cannot detect TV connection, so I think foce output TV-out signal. I used Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, TV". Can force found 2 display device, have 2 screen ok, but not display at TV if not connected TV. I do not understand why the TV has been forced output signal does not display images, they can be connected to the TV show?

I installed the proprietary driver in System->Administration->Additional Drivers, but after installing when I am required to restart, I restart my computer and encounter a black screen. I tried using Ctrl-Alt-'-" to change the resolution but that didn't work because the computer is completely frozen, so I have to reboot in recovery and uninstall the driver...
This also makes it so I am unable to go to the maximum resolution my desktop can obtain. (1920 x 1200, but I'm limited to 1600 x 1200)

I was trying to get the b43 driver work with my broadcom bcm4322 wireless card. I changed the kernel from 2.6.32 to 2.6.38 in order to make the b43 driver to work. When I booted with the new kernel the internet stopped working so I looked for a solution. I don't remember which website I went but it said that I have to re-install the STA drivers so I did that and rebooted and nothing happened. I decided to go back to the 2.6.32 kernel and re-installed the STA drivers. The wireless card (eth1) isn't showing when I run the command iwconfig
Code:
xavi@xavi-laptop:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
easytether0 no wireless extensions.
xavi@xavi-laptop:~$
I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

I had to have the Nvidia Driver build a module to my kernel. It goes through, says it was successful, but I an unable to start X and get this log:

Its an Nvidia 8200 integrated graphics card... Not sure if there is a wrong driver or the driver is in a different location then where Fedora is looking.
