Ubuntu :: Patch Failure On Bcm43xx Drivers?
Jul 8, 2011
I just can't seem to overcome this issue. I downloaded the LatinSud patch from
[URL]... I set up a repository to download bcm43xx-fwcutte I downloaded wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
I couldn't find for the life of me find linux-source-2.6.20 but I did have the repository for 2.6.38 so I did this. #sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.38 build-essential gawk
I then did the following
#cd /usr/src/
#tar jxvf linux-source-2.6.38.tar.bz2
At this point I got a whole ton of response that said "Cannot open: No such file or directory" "Cannot mkdir: Permission denied" Pretty much got spammed with that for like a couple hundred files/folders. I knew something was wrong but I kept going(lol).
#cd linux-source-2.6.38
#sudo cp ~/bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.22.patch bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.22.patch
#sudo cp ../linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic/.config .config
#sudo patch -p1 -i bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.22.patch
This is where the fail happened
Hunk#1 FAILED at 104.
Hunk#1 FAILED at 3365.
Hunk#1 FAILED at 3636.
Hunk#1 FAILED at 3645.
[Code]...
Maybe I should try the Broadcom b34 drivers instead with b34 fwcutter? I'm not quite sure how to clean up all the folders now where I spammed all this patch stuff incase I wanted to try it again?

I just want to upgrade my Slackware 13.1 kernel (2.6.33.4) to the latest stable kernel from kernel.org (2.6.38.2). I have never done anything like this and I am a Linux newbie, so I would appreciate a "Kernel Patching for Dummies" version if possible. I did do a search on this forum and most of what I read was over my head. I found an FAQ on kernelnewbies.org on "How To Apply A Patch" but when I attempted what they suggested, it said it couldn't find the file to patch at line 5 and asked me which file to patch. So I CTRL-Z'd out of there and came here. Here's what I tried:

I'm new to Debian and installed it with Cinnamon because I want to learn some OpenCL programming in Linux. I have a Nvidia GT 525M GPU. Once the operating system is installed, I followed [URL] ..... article to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers. As the forum suggested, instead of creating an Xorg server configuration file, I installed Bumblebee according to [URL]..... article.
But when I restarted my machine after completing all the steps when I try to log in I get the follwoing message:
"failed to load session 'cinnamon'"
I cannot login as normal user or root.

I'm running Maverick Meerkat Ubuntu and I'm trying to figure out how to disable this bcm43xx wifi driver, or something like that. Personally, I have no clue what this is, but someone said that after you install NDISwrapper and its components, you have to disable bcm43xx driver, otherwise the two will conflict.

So, I am having certain issues regarding Debian installation. Since my Wi-Fi card, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG, requires non-free drivers not provided within Debian install image, I am bound to use USB stick during installation process to get those drivers, iwlwifi-3965-1.ucode and iwlwifi-3965-2.ucode, to enable Wi-FI on my system. However, no matter what I do, I cannot get debian-installer to detect drivers present on the machine. I have tried virtually everything - downloading drivers from multiple sources, renaming drivers properly, using ext4 instal of fat32, using gpt instead of msdos, placing files in /firmware instead of root directory - but no matter what I do, the outcome is the same. USB stick seems to be working properly. Am I bound to downloading non-free image now, or is there a solution?

I have an Asus laptop with a BCM4318 wifi chipset. result of lspsci command about wifi cards:
Code:
00:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) For some reason, I often get disconnected. Once it's disconnected, I cannot connect anymore and I need to reboot my laptop in order to get the connection back! I didn't have this problem when I was on Ubuntu 8.04. I checked in /var/log/syslog and I found this when the network is disconnected:

I installed Redhat nash version 5.1.19.6 with kernel 2.6.18-128.el5-xen-i686 on a Dell Inspiron 1300 with Broadcom BCM4401 (eth0/LAN) and BCM4318 (eth1/WLAN). eth0 is working fine, but eth1 was causing trouble. After some difficulties with missing packages I managed to install ndiswrapper, blacklisted module bcm43xx in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and removed it, loaded module ndiswrapper and had connection. But after reboot module bcm43xx was again loaded. So blacklisting does not seem to work.And additionally strange to me, I cannot unload module bcm43xx anymore. And if I load ndiswrapper driver bcm43xx is still used as the terminal command 'dmesg' is showing me in the system log, while ndiswrapper was used when the connection was once and only once established

Ethernet card works, but Wireless card activation fails at bootup time. It also fails if I try it again from the Network Configuration UI.
I have provided some output I got from initial exploration.
I upgraded to a recent version of the 2.6 kernel.
uname -a: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.28.7 #1 SMP Sat Mar 14 19:04:11 PDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have installed the correct firmware hopefully.
cd /lib/firmware ls
Output is:
I do have the bcm* files for firmware.
output of lspci is:
Last two lines show the that Wireless card BCM4312 is visible.

I have been using ubuntu for quite a long time, and for the first time, I am now unable to set nvidia drivers to work. I have just install ubuntu 9.10 amd64 on an AMD 64 athlong X2 with a GEForce 6500 nvidia card.
The only reason I need the proprietary drivers is to use two monitors.
I am going crazy, I have tested everything I have found on the web. I have tried all the nvidia drivers version, I have tried envyng, ... but nvidia do not work!!
I am trying Xinerama with nv, but it does not work either!!!
Here is my xorg.conf file in which I have tried to use nv driver to set dual monitor. X fails to load and it says that screen 0 is deleted, that devices are found but there are no matches in the config file. Any clue?
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"

I installed Xubuntu the other night (completely wiped machine) and started doing all the updates on it. After a couple of reboots, I changed from the proprietary drivers, to the regular nVidia drivers. After doing this, the startup logo is displayed at a really low resolution. Is there a simple fix to change this and use the nVidia drivers as well?

I just installed Karmic beta and I'm having issues with getting my wireless driver to work. When I was using 9.04 and when I booted 9.10 from a CD, I could just go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and activate a wireless driver and everything would be just peachy. The problem is that, in the install of 9.10 beta, no drivers appear when I load the Hardware Drivers GUI, so I can't get wireless internet.
Is there anything I can do besides wait a few days for the full release of 9.10 and hope that solves the issue?

I have compiz fusion and an ATI card (FGLRX driver) installed. This means that my windows are painfully slow to resize/min/max. This has bugged me for awhile, but apparently someone found a fix, as specified in: 107_fedora_dont_backfill_bg_none.patch
[Basically, they commented out most of a function].
how do I apply this patch? It causes problems for people using KDE on intel cards, but that won't bother me since I'm AMD on gnome.

My system has been crashing, and I think it may have something to do with Gnome since the crashes only occur when I'm using it. I checked the log file after a crash and it reported...
Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accel_map_unlock_path: assertion `entry != NULL && entry->lock_count > 0' failed
so I went to the Ubuntu launchpad and searched for it, and here it is. Someone has already submitted a patch and the bug status has been changed to "fix released."From reading the comments, I've learned the fix is only in Gnome 2.30, and Ubuntu 10.04 uses 2.28 (I think, maybe 2.26) (If it is possible to update to a new version of Gnome, please let me know). Luckily, someone also submitted a patch on the bug report as a temporary fix. Unfortunately, I don't know how to apply the patch. I couldn't find much information regarding it online, and the only stuff I did find applied to using Gnome's git hub.

This website [url] Is the home of the translogo patch.
Has anyone been able to use this patched mplayer in ubuntu and if so, how did you do it.
I assume you have to use synaptic to remove the default mplayer that's been installed from the repos, and use a source version of mplayer and add the diff.
I'm worried that doing this with an unsupported source could cause things to go wrong and bork my system.
The site also talks about a file called installscript.sh, I've never heard of this when building from source, so what does this file do?
