Jun 24, 2010What happened? I turn on Ubuntu and plug in my USB key. It refuses to do anything other than make a few loading noises.

View 5 RepliesI have just installed Debian 5 and KDE. All works fine. I wanted to add in a 200GB IDE drive and all worked fine except when I use Konqueror to look at the drive contents it is unmounted. I can mount it o.k., but my question is:
Where do I put the mount command so that the drive mounts at startup? Do I have to set permissions as well and if so can i do this so that the drive is r/w accessible to me as a non root user? My system is just a desktop machine running Openoffice and Internet access.

I recently installed openSUSE 11.4 and the wi - fi conection doesn't work, but with Ubuntu worked without problem. What can I do to get wi-fi connection working on this distribution again?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had 10.10, and all was well. Then I installed natty, and WiFi worked for a while, then stopped working. I later went back to 10.10, and WiFi still isn't working. The WiFi icon in the top bar looks like it's scanning. But it just keeps on scanning, continuously. Then it asks me for the password, so it obviously connects to something if it knows the network needs a password.
But here's the weird thing, my router also creates a BT Open Network, which I think is some pay service that BT offer, apparently through anyone's wifi since it's not password protected. I can connect to that. But not the actual network that leads to the internet. This happened a while back, and of course I can't install any updates on it because I can't get online. I am writing this from XP on the same computer, and XP can connect to the network no problem.
I have an HP a670y desktop computer using the included wireless antenna (looks like a big Sorry game piece). I am running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 dual booted with Windows Vista x64. I haven't had internet for a while but just got it today and decided to do some updating in both Windows and Ubuntu. It had detected my router and I copied and pasted the WEP key then it asked for my password, but my keyboard wasn't connected so I clicked cancel for the password window and it connected anyway.
I opened the Synaptic package manager and started downloading some updates while I did some browsing on the internet. I had restarted my computer when the updates were done and it asked again for my WEP key. I copied and pasted just as I did before and entered my password and after it tried to connect it asked for my password again. I thought maybe the internet was down so I decided to boot up Windows and it connected right away. I wonder if one of my updates messed something up. Has anyone else had this happen?
I'm facing some issues with mounting the cd and usb stick in Gnome: once the hotplug device is discovered Gnome displays multiple lot (5+) notification windows (i.e asking about the opening application) and also causing Dbus errors like: "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending".
Ubuntu just mounts once, no issues like mentioned above. This is standard 11.3 installation, where should I look for the cause?
After I accidentally broke my first successful install of 10.10 netbook edition on a flash drive, I have been COMPLETELY unsuccessful in trying to put it back on my flash drive.I have a 4GB PNY flash drive that I have been able to boot from in the pastI want Ubuntu 10.10 installed on it so i can use my own customized OS on school netbooksand i've tried 4 times to get something to boot up, each unsuccessful because it can't seem to read the Casper file.Nothing I use seems to be able to create a working Casper-RW fileI've tried using the Universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com as suggested by the Ubuntu download page. It can't seem to figure out how to create a working persistance fileI've tried using the USB startup disk creator from a Ubuntu 9.10 boot disk.That keeps stopping and saying there is some sort of error.I've had a problem with the casper file before, and someone mentioned I should use an ext3 instead.

I have a Compaq Evo N610c that was running 9.10. I was reluctant to upgrade to 10.04 since everything was working like a clock. But, alas, the "newer is better" bug bit me and I just HAD to try out 10.04. So, I installed it in a dual boot mode, keeping my 9.10 in tact. I'm glad I did! I use an Enterasys Roamabout CSIBD-AA-128 wireless lan card to connect to my network. I use WEP 128-bit encryption for the network. I connect without issue in 9.10.
In 10.04, I am unable to connect to the network. I am sure that the card is recognized, as the system "sees" my network and tries to connect. I am asked for "wireless network authentication required". I have tried both passphrase (WEP 40/128-bit key) and WEP 128-bit passphrase (network name 5rueckls). When I enter either, the computer looks like it is trying to connect, but never gets there. Settings under the "Editing Auto 5rueckls" include Mode: Infrastructure, MTU: Automatic, IPv4 Settings Method: Automatic, IPv6 Settings Method: Automatic, Wireless security: WEP 40/128 (key entered), WEP Index 1, Authentication: Open System. Available to all users is "ticked". I am very new to the whole Linux/Ubuntu environment, but have made alot of progress! I can follow direction very nicely.
I'm currently learning how to program in PHP i have recently installed LAMP server and apache2 and MySQL, i have run a bunch of commands, so i can really remember them all..the ones i can remember is:

I ran 11.1 for about a year and had only a few issues; but for some (stupid?) reason, decided to go to 11.2.
Now my hibernate does not work (it worked almost flawlessly on 11.1. Both from shutdown options and when closing the lid.
It seems to disconnect the ethernet, but then just reconnects and resumes normal operation.
This is a IBM T42 laptop. It also does not hibernate when I close the lid, which also worked fine on 11.1.
I can't leave this thing running all the time and I don't want to do a full shutdown every time I stop using it.
I've installed all the updates and upgrades.
I am a new user of Slackware 13.37 (KDE) on my laptop. Unfortunately, suspend to ram is not working properly. It worked the very first time I tried it, but has failed since. The computer suspend properly (light turns orange) but when I click any button it restarts computer and recovers journals.

I was using a program called "Gobi Loader" to manually setup my Qualcomm 9212 3g internal USB modem on my Verizon Wireless Gateway LT2016U NetBook. Gobi Loader program loads the modem's firmware so it is usable by Ubuntu OS. This worked fine on Ubuntu 9.10, but on Ubuntu 10.04 RC when I run Gobi Loader it just hangs. I've Googled for hours and have not found a solution to this issue. For me it is a big issue as in Ubuntu 10.04, my 3g access is not working. (I'm paying Verizon Wireless $60 dollars a month for 3g access my Ubuntu 10.04 can't use.)
The only option I see now is to install Windows(R) XP, then reinstall Ubuntu 10.04 and dual boot. I would have to boot into Windows(R) XP first, the soft reset and boot into Ubuntu 10.04. (but this is not something I wish to do) This Qualcomm 9212 3g internal USB modem is quite popular in NetBooks, and I can't be the only person in the universe who is using Ubuntu 10.04 on it so there must be some way to make this 3g modem work on Ubuntu 10.04?
I had screwed up a unsolvable Ubuntu install, so I had to reformat and reinstall. I did all that, installed my apps, but then saw and was convinced to upgrade to 10.10. It took forever, but it downloaded and installed the upgrade package. Since then, I have had a few issues that I had never had in 10.04. The other ones are in their own threads though. So, now when I either close my laptop lid or hit suspend, I can see it do some things, then either A. It goes to sleep. Or B. It just freezes.
No HDD activity, just those messages it displayed for suspending like it does when it works. I have screenshots attached of that. Also, in the default applet that provides you with the sleep option and shut-down, etc, sometimes the option Hibernate disapears. Now, I have seen how the menu is without it and like it that way. I think I need to be looking for a prefrence file for it, because I would like the option Hibernate to be removed from that menu.
1. How can I get the machine to go to sleep properly? This is mainly because I hate loosing what I am doing.
2. How do I remove the option "Hibernate" from Indicator Applet Session 0.4.6?
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and then I installed WICD using Synaptic and then uninstalled Network Manager. WICD worked fine until I rebooted. Then I could not connect at all. Wicd displayed the wireless lans and even authenticated OK. But wicd was not able to obtain an IP address.

I used to run an application named DBabble (client) through Wine back when I used 11.1. Then, the version of Dbabble client was 2.2h -I still have the exe-. Now I tried this same version on 11.3 with Wine, and this is what I got:
ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing
Latest version of the client is 2.9i, and this one seems to work fine, but the server I want to connect needs client 2.2h. I thought it was the Wine version, but a friend tried the exe in a system with 11.1 and latest Wine, and it worked for him.
So there's probably a change in 11.3 that broke this app under Wine. Is there a solution or workaround for this on 11.3?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an old laptop I am trying to upgrade the Ubuntu version on. It is an HP Pavilion N3110. System specifications:

The installation went okay (to start with) on my newly formatted hard drive (after death of Windows XP), but I got an error about 3/4 of the way through. The system said something about starting the desktop to try to resolve or fault find the problem. So I now have a desktop with access to all the menu system. I am feeling my way around slowly getting used to the environment. I think there are bits missing from the install but with no frame of reference I cannot tell what exactly is wrong. One obvious problem is my Monitor screen resolution. In Monitor preferences it is set as 'unknown monitor'.
The detect monitor button does nothing and the resolution is set as 2048 x 1536 which is just too small to see properly on the screen. I am currently using zoom to increase within a window to use at all. I have tried opening a terminal and using the xrandr command which reports the following:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

I had a wubi install- but it only let me dedicate 60 GB. I quickly ran out of that available space and decided I'd better try one of those tools to move my stuff on a partition of it's own.
I just used LVPM to transfer Wubi to the HDD, and.. it worked. Almost.
All I had to do was edit my grub file. I did that in Wubi, opened the menu.lst file with gksudo and added this just before windows: (I want Ubuntu to be first on the list, ofc)

(Please tell me if anything up there isn't needed, is wrong, or if I left something out..)Now it makes me press "S" before I can see the login screen at boot-up.
I want the quickest boot possible for Ubuntu, with a way for us to use Windows if needed.
It's looking for an Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 CD, and I have the 10.10 Alternate AMD64 DVD.. and that message doesn't respond at all... I can press "S", and then it goes to the login screen, all works fine. I can update, I looked to see if the check-box for a CD upgrade was checked, but it wasn't.. I ticked the box (just for science), put in the alt-disk, and.... again it waited forever.. So that must be the wrong CD. Unticked it.. Also I just updated this morning fine. Still, that 'Press "S" to skip' at boot up is annoying
Do I have to download the standard Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 ISO again.. (before it kept freezing), or is that futile.. I mean, all it's going to do is downgrade, (if it does anything..) right?
I upgraded my system today from Kubuntu 10.10 (or whatever the last full release was) to 11.04 using the automated web process. I know, I know, I should have tested off a live cd or a thumb drive, foolish mistake. On upgrade the video card works, and it boots fine... but I have no keyboard and mouse. I checked the forums and realized that maybe it was a problem with the brand of keyboard and mouse I was using. so I've tried four manufacturers (even tried switching between wired and bluetooth) to no avail.I've also tried starting in recovery mode, but the problem persists.
To be specific, my bios sees the hardware just fine, and I'm able to hold down shift and pull up the selection options pre-OS, and select which one to run... and I can see the red optical light on the mouse no problem, so it's not a defect of either the motherboard or the input devices themselves. However, once in the OS, in recovery mode, or anything else, I'm left without a keyboard or mouse. As my system only has USB ports and not PS2, I can't check a hardware spec beyond what I've tried.Also, it doesn't work if I select the "boot into an older version of linux" which is odd.Can someone make a recommendation? Is there a way to get a liveboot cd of the previous version of Kubuntu that worked?
