Ubuntu :: Wireless Drivers Not Showing Up In Installed Version Only In "live"
Mar 22, 2010
I've got something that's really confusing me. I'm a total noob, but I read a fair bit about Ubuntu before I overwrote my windows. To make sure it worked, I used the Live run option, and it worked fine on my system. Everything worked, it notified me, however, to use the internet I'd have to download proprietary drivers (Broadcom B43 wireless driver and Broadcom STA wireless driver). I did it and my internet started working. So everything was fine and I rebooted and actually installed the OS. Once installed, it would not get internet, nor prompt for drivers being required. So I checked my manual and tried to do it manually: System / Administration / Hardware Drivers. It searched, and said there were no proprietary drivers. I thought that this was weird, so I rebooted my system "Live" again (even though it was already installed): and the Drivers were there again! They only show up in live, I can't get internet in the installed version. What's going on? How do I get these two drivers to show up on my actual installed copy, not my lie copy?

I have just installed the 10.10 version which includes the netbook version - now when I login to the netbook version I get the error about unity - in the desktop version my wifi card is no where to be seen and found. When I boot into the live cd version both of these options are there without fail - any ideas why the difference occurs??

Booting into a live desktop from USB, the correct wireless drivers pop-up to be installed even when not connected to the internet. But upon installing Ubuntu the only way to install these drivers is through a wired connection. Any thoughts as to why this is? I'd love to be able to run any version of Ubuntu out of the box, but experience always brings back the ethernet cable.
Running: HP Mini 110, Broadcom wireless

I'm having problems getting the wifi to work on my toshiba satellite pro l40 (psl4be). My laptop has a wifi card built in but linux cant seem to be able to find it. I tryed following these instructions and i got this output:
Code:
james@james-laptop:~$ lsusb
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[Code]...
as you can see its telling me i have no wifi card, even though i am fully aware i do. ive tryed using ndiswrapper to install the windows drivers of the ethernet adaptor but my wifi still doesnt work, im guessing ethernet has nothing to do with wifi.I intend to convert from windows, however if i cant get the wifi to work i can only see linux at a major disadvantage as i use my wifi alot.

I just recently put Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on my laptop with windows dual booting. I'm pretty new to all this stuff, so I'm a bit confused. I followed instructions I read on here, but none of it seems to be working. I put all of the 3 Ndiswrapper things on, and then copied the .inf and .sys files from windows into the same directory. I just want to connect to my home network, which has WEP security.

I have a Broadcom B4312(I believe) wireless card and installed the drivers for it, but under the Wireless tab in Network Connections, it doesn't show "wlan0" or anything similar to "eth0"(which it shows under "Wired"). I ran iwconfig and this is what I got:

after few years being limited with my pc configuration (windows OS) I realized that linux or it's distributions is the best invention in 21 century. And finally I am starting use it. openSUSE 11.4 installaition succesful, I updated it and it looks I don;t have any problems, but I got few questions.
1. How install older version of mozilla firefox internet browser here? I can't install some plugins because it's a firefox beta 12 version, for example. I am quake fan, o I like play quake live, but i can't install quake plugin, because my firefox is beta version.
2. Does I got all drivers instantly installed to my mashine? ATI video drivers, sound drivers ect??
3. Are there any How-To guides which can teach me, how I can improve my desktop? gadgets, 3D desktop ect...?

I'm trying to install a more up to date version of vlc and to do this I have added the "lucid bleed" ppa. However when I do apt-get update && upgrade or aptitude, or view available versions from synaptic, I seem to be only getting the version from the repo? Expected behavior is getting the new version. Observed behavior is getting the old version.

Does the gnome live cd install a "live version" of OpenSUSE or a "standard version? I used knoppix 4.x long time ago... I don't want to end up with a default user called linuxuser and not be able to save any changed unless I created an additional read/write partition.

I've installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my HP DV2000 laptop and now I want to get my wireless to work by installing the proprietary broadcom drivers (4311, I think). But my internet doesn't work yet obviously, so I need to download the drivers to my thumb drive on my desktop and install them on my non-networked laptop.My issue is that I don't know:a) Where to get the driversb) How to install them from a local drive

I reinstalled ubuntu and now there isn't a box that pops up saying "restricted drivers" where my wireless would pop up saying something like Broadcom STA wireless driver. and Broadcom BZ3 wireless driver (or something like that) I would then click STA wireless driver and click "activate" then it would make my wireless card work.
Why isnt this box popping up? how do I get to it?

As the title states, I'm only seeing 3.2GB of memory with 4GB installed.
Code:
--> free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3277 990 2286 0 58 388
-/+ buffers/cache: 543 2733
Swap: 2933 0 2933

My mainboard is a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. I have 4GB of OCZ memory installed. 2GB just recently installed. In the bios, I've enabled the memory hole remapping for both HW/SW. It is not a shared memory with the onboard video. I have the onboard video disabled. I have a dedicated Nvidia card. The Bios does show a full 4GB in the system information section.
I thought that 10.04, was supposed to have the pae kernel enabled by default. Is that not the case?
Code:
--> uname -r
2.6.32-24-generic
-->
Is the fix to install the pae kernel?

I had a minor problem with my ubuntu install, and a person said to go to startup manager and select reset to original settings. I did this and when I restarted It asked me to boot ubuntu 9.10, which would not work as I upgraded long ago. Now all I get is the option to boot 9.10, and I really want to get back into my computer. Running ubuntu 10.04 with latest updates as if 25 september New Zealand Time.

I have a Belkin F5D8055au USB wireless adapter which I can't configure in YAST. I have downloaded the RT2870sta driver from RALink and compiled it - seemed to be ok. Modprobe loads it ok. Some info:
[Code]...
When I open network settings in YAST my wired (ethernet) card shows up but not the USB. If I manually add a wireless card, I can't select the kernel module from the drop down list - there is nothing in it. At that point I abort YAST. So, how do I convince YAST that there really is a USB wireless adapter connected?

I installed a few services using the dolphin tools menu (configure dolphin) but they're not showing up on right-click, how can I enable them.
Here's my setup:
-Ubuntu Lucid GNOME
-Dolphin 1.4
-All dolphin dependencies and issues resolved (I think) by using:
Code:
sudo apt-get build-dep dolphin
sudo apt-get install dolphin
My second problem is file search, the feature that comes with nautilus is way too slow, and catfish is lacking so many feature, I'm kind of a sucker for eye-candy, and when I tried beagle it stuck out like a sore thumb! Is there a good looking, well-developed file-search feature for the gnome desktop?
My third question is regarding the update in Lucid, it keeps telling me the following when I run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Code:
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
Is there a new kernel that it's not allowing me to use? if so, how do I get past this message?
My last issue is with nautilus, I have many large directories with tons of subdirectories (especially my music folders), and nautilus can only view them as icons, list or columns, is there a way to install a script or plugin for nautilus to make it faster and/or include some form of miller columns like in dolphin (I believe it's the best way to view large folders).

I used to dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu for quite some time now. Yesterday after seeing OpenSUSE installed on my friends lappy, I decided it IS the time to bid goodbye to Windows. I don't play games, just internet browsing, listening to music, some letter writing and movies of course!
So today I removed Windows XP by formatting C: drive and installed OpenSUSE.
I am happy with OpenSUSE, but I still want to dual boot OpenSUSE with Ubuntu. But in the GRUB,only OpenSUSE entry is shown, Ubuntu is nowhere. It seems OpenSUSE has overwritten the Ubuntu GRUB during install and doesn't include Ubuntu in the boot list as Ubuntu does for other OS when we install Ubuntu.
How to create an entry in the GRUB so that I am able to boot into Ubuntu also.

I know I've got inotify-tools installed; I've got a daemon that runs and it's using inotifywait to move some files around.
This thing is:
12:20:16 /home/barrie $ >> dpkg --get-selections | grep inotify*
12:20:29 /home/barrie $ >> aptitude show inotify-tools
Package: inotify-tools
New: yes
State: not installed
Version: 3.12-1
Priority: optional
Section: misc
Maintainer: Peter Makholm <peter@makholm.net>
Uncompressed Size: 115k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6-1), libinotifytools0
Description: command-line programs providing a simple interface to inotify
inotify-tools is a set of command-line programs for Linux providing a simple interface to inotify. These programs can be used to monitor and act upon filesystem events. inotify-tools consists of two utilities:
inotifywait simply blocks for inotify events, making it appropriate for use in shell scripts.
inotifywatch collects filesystem usage statistics and outputs counts of each inotify event.
12:20:40 /home/barrie $ >>
It's not showing up as installed! If not how to get the list of installed packages 'reloaded'. I've googled for hours and reloading the installed packages doesn't look promising!

Toshiba/Celeron/multibootI just installed Salix KDE. The install went well, afaIk...Salix does not appear on the grub, and I in fact have no way of knowing if it even exists on my machine. I have not checked anything via the console. I do not know how. All other OS's on the HDD are present on the grub, and are unaffected.I am running Kubuntu 10.04 LTS currently.
