I updated to KDE 4.7 today with MUCH trouble muon hung at towards the end of the updrade at 100% so i had to force quit with " sudo ksysguard" it refused to boot into the desktop so i had to complete the upgrade from the terminal/safe mode when it finished i could not get my wireless to work my drivers is installed properly and i have tried toggling the wireless switch, much to my dismay but nothing seems to work. i can't scan for networks and the network-manager app just reports "WLAN Interface: Error: Invalid state"
I bought this wireless card because alot of people said it worked out of the box and it almost worked... Ubuntu recognizes it and the wireless module is activated I just can't seem to scan for networks or connect to them... So I am listing some outputs for you guys and hopefully there is an easy fix.
I realize that Ubuntu recognizes the card, but I'm not sure why it's not picking up any networks that are around and says "disconnected", even though I've made sure that the wireless network light is enabled on the netbook.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 server 64bit. I'm trying to get my ASUS PCE-N13 wireless PCI card working for searching and connecting to wireless networks. But I have no networks applet appearing in the panel. system->preferences->sessions has the Network Manager enabled The Notification Area is added to the panel. system->preferences-Network Connections-->Wireless[tab] shows a pink box, with no available connections.
I've configured the device for my network's settings in YaST's Network Settings tool. Is the card turned off by the kill switch? Where do I find the kill switch?
I have a Linksys AE1000 wireless adapter and I used the post found here to install the drivers.I've figure I installed the drivers successfully because when I use "iwlist ra0 scan" I get a listing of available networks.The problem is, I can only connect to unsecured networks. For instance,
Code: sudo iwconfig ra0 essid "unsecure network" The above command connects me but the one below doesn't
I have configured a wireless pcmcia card using ndiswrapper. I'm sure that works, as with the command "iwlist wlan0 scan" gives me back the list of detected wireless networks. At this point I was wondering: is there a way to detect the new interface (wlan0) with network manager? Even after enabling the wifi card the network manager gnome applet always finds only eth0.
I installed squeeze on my eeepc 1015ped and downloaded the correct firmware-brcm80211 drivers but every time I scan for my network using iwconfig wlan0 scan or wicd, my computer completely freezes. I previously had a solid install running xmonad, and wicd was working like a charm (using the same broadcom driver) but i tinkered too much with it and decided to do a fresh install. I haven't quite run into a problem like this before.
I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.
What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.
I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.
I could use Wireless network. I could see several different networks in my range. Then suddenly the network stoppedworking, and I can no longer see any networks under "Wireless networks".The Wired networks works fine.I tried upgrading ubuntu, but nothing changed. Just to confirm, I rebooted the computer in Windows Vista (Dual boot) andconfirmed that Wireless worked fine there. No hardware problem then.The suggestions I have found on this and other forums suggest looking at the output from iwconfig and ifconfig. But since I'm a n00b at Ubuntu I don't know what to make of it.
This is the output: emil@emils:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions.
One of the things I found really handy about the Live Ubuntu CDs is they had the option to run a memory scan on the computer. As the head of an IT department of one person in charge of maintaining 60 computers, that capability has helped me more than twice.
I think the options when running off CD/USB were Install Ubuntu, Test Ubuntu, run a memory scan, or boot off the harddrive. However, starting with Lucid and continuing with Maverick, the only options on the Live CD/USB seem to be install or try (although the memory scan is available on my Grub menu after Ubuntu is installed, unfortunately, most of the computers I am responsible for at work are Windows only).
Is there a way to start the memory scan when running a Live Lucid or Maverick CD/USB?
Is there an AV i can use to scan my windows partition to find any bugs/backdoors or viruses? I know there is a backdoor somewhere, and comodo isnt picking it up so i am refusing to boot from my windows 7 right now. My password information keeps getting changed and websites and emails are alerting me that someone has access to them and is trying to promote spam.
I have just installed 11.04 (64-bit) and I cannot scan as a user. Scanning as root works fine. My device is a Brother MFC-7420. I've installed the brscan2-0.2.5-1.amd64.deb package from the brother page. After installing this, I can run xsane as root and scan perfectly.
I could not find any instructions for enabling this as a user on 11.04, so I followed the instructions for 10.04 at [URL]...n1c.html#u9.10 and added the following between libsane_usb_rules_begin and libsane_usb_rules_end
Code: # Brother scanners ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" I then restarted udev, turned my device off and on again and tried to run xsane. I get the following error:
Code: "Failed to open dvice `brother2:bus3;dev1': Invalid argument I looked at what the rules were trying to do when libsane_matched is set to yes, and found that setfacl was not installed on my box. I installed this and changed the line to read
I just bought an hp 6500 wireless printer, and after taking 5 minutes to set it up (amazing how easy it is to get hardware working that supported by Linux) I was happily printing...But- I haven't managed to get it to scan from my desktop pc running 9.04. Tells me no device is found. I added the printer to a laptop running 9.10, and it scanned perfectly straight away...
I've been through the Ubuntu help documentation and haven't found a solution.I think that maybe Turbo Print (for our old Canon printer) might have messed something up. I had to uninstall Turbo Print to get the printer to work (it hijacked Ubuntu's built in printing stuff).
i have hp photosmart c4340 combine printer i need to scan documents and send them via email with a preview page meaning a page where i write to who the document needs to arrive how can i do this?
I know everyone may discard this post because you do not need AV on linux BUT i am trying to use my linux PC as a download horse and would like to scan the files for viruses before I move them to my Windows machine. I downloaded and installed the latest AVG, how do I scan specific files, is it the avgscan command? I check /opt/avg/avg8/log for the scan results of a folder scanned and nothing. I tried avgscan -o -p ~/downloads where -o shows even clean files but after i run the command, there is nothing shown in the prompt and nothing in the log file.
I have a small bash script that compress all folders in a specific folderThe script also:- add a password to the compressed files- delete the original folder after compressionSuppose that this script is called "rar.sh".At some particular moment, there will not have any folder in the specific folder since they have all been compressed.I want something (a script?) that will check (every minute approximately) if there's new folder in the specific folder.If there's new folder, then execute script rar.shor if there's not new folder, then re-scan in the next minute.
I'm able to scan using both xsane and the HPLIP utility however I can't figure out how to respond to a Scan button press on the device itself.
In the HP Device Manager there's a section about responding to button presses on the device, but it's disabled and I haven't seen any way to enable it.
I found info about scanbuttond but it looks very out of date and I haven't been able to find anything recent that does the same thing. Is this just something that isn't supported?
It installed but I cant seem to run a scan and as there isnt much need for it i want to remove it. The problem is its changed name from what I downloaded it as. Does anyone know what it could be? Ill try and add a pic a bit later, but im on windows at the moment so I cant acces terminal. Also I have Wine installed but would like to remove its root access, Im not sure if it does have root access but I would like it not to if it does, what should I type into the terminal?
I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm having real problems getting my Epson DX7450 to scan. It prints okay. I've googled and searched lots of forums and I'm not really having a great deal of success. I keep getting sent to the Avansys page and then I just get lost I will be eternally grateful.
I have duel boot ubuntu/xp but I cannot access the xp part and am worried some virus might have got in there. My question is can I scan my xp partition from my ubuntu desktop and if I can, which is the best program to use?
I have had problems starting Windows Vista in that nothing happens when I start up the computer. Windows starts loading up and then after a brief blue flicker in the screen (it doesnt seem to be the blue screen of death) it restarts and does this again.
I can get into the system and back up files with Ubuntu 10.04 if I choose to re-install windows. However, is there a way I can use Ubuntu to scan the system for errors to find out what the problem ?
I've read a bit here about making PDF's searchable using a bunch of different programs and utilities. It seams with errors and I'm not sure if it has been ironed out.I have hundreds of old documents that I need to scan. I would like to scan them to searchable PDF's. I won't have issue scanning them to plain PDF's, but how do I make them searchable. Is there a scanner available to ubuntu that will do this, currently I have simple scan.
I've read that there are a lot of rootkits that exist for linux. MS Windows has tools where you can boot a "portable" scanner from a CD and scan your whole Windows installation for rootkits. This way you can even scan boot sectors because you are never actually starting your installed Windows.
Is there anything available like this for Ubuntu? Is there a scanner I can run off the LIVE CD for example to scan my ubuntu installation for rootkits?
