Ubuntu :: Corrupted X Gets Allright When Photon Plus Pendrive Inserted
Sep 2, 2009
I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on my Acer Aspire 5100 laptop. Normally, when I put it to suspend to disk mode, it fails to wake up cleanly. I mean, it wakes up but the X is corrupted with lot of flickering. Ctrl + alt + backspace doesn't set it right. But when I insert my Photon Plus Broadband pendrive into the USB, the flickering immediately disappears and I am presented with the clean, shiny desktop. The problem is that the flickering doesn't stop until I insert the pendrive.
So here is my situation..i was using win 7 and ubuntu 10.10 in my dell studio 1555. and i wanted to try out debian so i installed debian in my pendrive. so the grub was modified. when the computer starts it shows debian,ubuntu and win7 no problem.. but if i remove the pendrive, nothing comes up. it shows grub rescue>..
so now i cant start up unless i plug in the pendrive. what to do now to solve this problem?? i want to restore my grub to the previos state.
I'm COMPLETELY new to linux. I"m running Ubuntu 9.10 and TRYING to install Devede. I have tried the Terminal, Synaptic Manger, and the Add/Remove and still keep getting this same error. I'm running a regular 32 bit Pentium 3 process to test if I like Linux or not. this is what it says: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libavcodec-extra-52_4%3a0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu3_i386.deb: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive this is not a DUAL boot computer either.
How can I remove options from the menu that automatically appears when a CD is inserted? I thought that these settings would be in the Preferred Applications but no luck.
I'm an experienced Ubuntu user and have a problem with a certain USB pen drive. It doesn't seem to be recognised in Ubuntu and I can't browse it. Other USB sticks do work and this drive works in Windows.
I would like to do something which I guess is pretty common: convert my collection of CDs to good quality mp3, named according to artist-song and properly tagged. Having to rip hundreds of CDs (i am not rich, i just live in China! ) I would like this to be as automatic as possible, like: insert cd wait 4 minutes (sw gets tracks' name and tags from the internet, and rips) CD is ejected automaticallyinsert new cd ...and so on If I was on windows, i would probably be doing this with itunes. Juicer does not support MP3. I read great things about rubyripper, but i dont understand how to make it start automatically.
I installed a new, clean hard drive into my old iMac G5, and decided to finally set up a linux machine, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 with the 64bit mac software, and the instal went very smooth, however now there are a few hardware issues.First, the cd/dvd drive loads disks, but the system does not recognize anything inserted, and wont play any media. Second, the built in airport card doesnt want to work either, I can see the icon for wireless at the top right of the screen and it lets me plug in my network name and security, but wont connect or see any wireless networks at all, however, ethernet works fine, and it is how I am able to get online now. Lastly, the screen is slightly shifted to the right and the far right of the screen wraps around to the left side of the screen, its not major, probably a 1/4 of an inch, but it is annoying.
I am sure these are likely driver issues, but when I go to Administration, and Hardware Drivers it does not say I need any drivers. and when I run through "system testing" it says that this version of ubuntu is not genuine, or something like that, but I just burned the install disk last night from ubuntu's website.
I have been using Ubuntu since 7.04. It is really an amazing experience. I have some 8.10 machines which I use for my students and i don't want to change it right now to different version. On the other hands I want to install USB Modem (Tata Photon+) on Ubuntu 8.10. I have seen its working fine on Ubuntu 9.04 and even better with Ubuntu 10.04.
How to install drivers in Ubuntu 8.10 for proper support with Tata Photon. right now my usb modem is detected as usb storage. I have also tried the usb-switchmode stuff following some articles available on net. But with no real success.
I want to know the exact difference in 8.10, 9.04 and 10.04 as far as usb modem driver installation is concerned.
Or can I configure Ubuntu 8.10 in such a way that I can use USB Modem (Tata Photon) like we do in Ubuntu 10.04.
I installed ubuntu server 9.10. During the install the onboard 10/100 land card was automatically installed and was used for updating packages. I just put in a DGE-530T gigabit ethernet card. I can see it recognized under lspci.01:07.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11) (rev 11). It does not show up under ifconfig. The CD came with linux drivers. The readme talked about recompiling the kernel and a whole bunch of other stuff. Google was equally confusing. What do I do?
After the updates about a week ago I noticed my system was hanging (screen and mouse frozen, unable to switch desktops, trl+Alt+SysRq+B still reboots) frequently. Though sometimes the system would not hang but become extremely sluggish and unresponsive. I've been able to determine that the problems occur whenever a module is added or removed. I can cause this problem with such commands as:
sudo modprobe aes sudo rmmod raid0
I've tried multiple kernels but the problem persists. I've run memtest on the system but no errors have been found. I wonder if this could be some other sort of hardware problem but I'm suspicious that this began after a set of updates. I've seen message such as this in the kern.log:
Code:
Jun 25 22:35:48 localhost kernel: [ 240.480059] INFO: task modprobe:2672 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Jun 25 22:35:48 localhost kernel: [ 240.492925] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. Jun 25 22:35:48 localhost kernel: [ 240.506918] modprobe D 00000000ffffffff 0 2672 2650 0x00000004
[code]....
I've tried using strace but that was not helpful. This is becoming a serious problem as I cannot load any encrypted volumes due to the inability to load the aes module. dpkg is currently in an interrupted state as the system hung when upgrading virtualbox-3.2 when it attempted to remove the modules. So my system is barely functional and I cannot see any way to fix things.
I have installed mandriva spring 2009 in my laptop HP Compaq CQ60..I am using net connection from Tata Photon plus using the modem ZTE AC8710. how to configure net connection..
I'm running ubuntu 10.04. I have a newly purchased TATA Photon+ Internet connection which supports Windows and Mac. On the Internet I found a article saying that it could be configured on Linux. I followed the steps to install it on Ubuntu from this link text. I am still not able to get online
Also, it is very slow, but I was told that I would see speeds up to 3.1MB.
I dont have wvdial installed and cannot install it from apt as I'm not connected to internet
I have Ubuntu 9.04 in my desktop, I am trying to configure Photon+ wireless device in my desktop, since it is having .exe file i am finding difficulty to configure it( I know .exe will not work) , but i want to know is there any possibility to configure this modem in Ubuntu machine....
I don't have an opportunity to check it out now... Does Debian 6 testing mount inserted CDs/Flash-drives automatically like Ubuntu does? Or the only way to mount them after inserting is to use mount command?
I currently have a little box with Mediatomb installed which I use to stream to my Linn DS. Is there an application that I can use that will automatically rip a CD when it is inserted into the machine and then eject when it is complete?
I am using Fedora 13 and trying to run internet through my Tata photon+ HUAWEI Mobile Broadband Model: EC1261 but I am unable to configure the system to run internet through tata photon+. configure and run internet on my system through tata photon+?
I presume automount of drives (dvd etc.) is still something fedora does , so is anyone else not seeing this occur,,fedora 11 RC > fedora release ( yes I have fedora-release here) and it a music CD inserted isn't automounting or asking me to play it...It's working with kde cd player..but rhythmbox and amarok both aren't sweeing music cd and I can't figure out how to make them see it
It seems as though k3b will only recognise my burners when the system first boots for about 5 minutes. Once time is up k3b will not see my burners.. I tried burning a disk using k3b soon as I booted and it lost the drives mid burn.
The drives are ide and I've read about the drivers for cdrdao possibly not being correct but when I check to see if cdrdao sees the drives using command line it does give me both drives. So I assume that is working properly. When a cd is inserted it doesn't automount the cd either. Am I having issues with HAL? or is k3b just that flaky? ISB thumb drives mount fine..I have checked the fstab and there is no mention of cdrom mount points. IS this normal with the newer versions? Is this possibly my issue.. I was under the impression that with HAL the mount points are for ease of use in the fstab.. (not that you could mount a blank cd anyway...)
Every version of K3b I have ever used, on every computer I have ever had it on, does this - It works like a charm the very first time I use it, then on subsequent usage K3b stops at Overall progress 50 percent, the disc is kicked out. It should continue with verification of the disc but if it is manually re-inserted K3b does not respond.
It is a known bug. At bugs.kde.org - �k3b-1.0.4 hangs between writing and verifying a CD-R� bug # 156684 This bug is closed, a patch exists, but how to apply the patch? I have the text of the patch, doesn't something have to be done with it first? Make it into a script file?
I am using TATA Photon usb internet stick. It's a Huawei USB modem. OpenSuSe detects and shows it as mobile broadband. But can not connect to internet. Any1 has configured similar device before? It shows me in "network manager" but no option to active/connect it. In Windows I got auto dialer for Photon. And customer care says no support for Linux.
I followed the instructions mentioned in this thread carefully [url] Despite this, I am unable to connect to the internet. It just says connecting and connecting, but it doesn't connect at all.
I want to know how to connect tata photon+ mobile broadband service in redhat el5,like drivers needed,procedures to install,where can i download the driver.
