I'm new to linux, have been somewhat of a computer geek my whole life and thought it about time that I delved into the world of linux. So I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer. I love it. However, I can't get my wireless to work. In my dorms there are no ethernet hookups, so I have to use the wireless. I typed "sudo lshw -class network" into the root terminal. The important things that I figured out was the bus info: pci@0000:4:06.0 and the pysical id: 6 (not sure if the physical id is important but it sounds like it is). I then did a lspci and found that at bus 04:06.0 it is a RaLink Device 3060. I downloaded the .tar file for the driver. I could not find instructions for it online so I followed the ones for the rt2860 driver : [URL].... I could not get it to work, It built ok and installed ok, but when I do the modprobe I get an error saying the device or resource is busy. Either that or that it cannot be found. One thing that I found weird was that I couldn't get it to build a 3060 driver, it would only build a 3562 one.
Downloaded Red Eclipse 1.1 file redeclipse_1.1_all.tar.bz2 Cannot find instructions to install it on fedora 15 64.bit. Can someone point me in the right direction, or give info on how to install.

I did a full install of 9.10 on my Dell Inspirion 1200 laptop & use a Dell 1350 card, after several posts and replies I went to [URL]and followed the instructions for Ubuntu/Debian. This is the result I get....

I followed this procedure before installation (live CD) and it successfully found and installed the firmware. Apparently it was saved in live CD. What do I need to do?
Linux noob, and I'm trying to install a little program on my rootserver, but it requires libboost and libboost-dev. Unfortunately ubuntu can't seem to find the packages and google does not help either. The only info I found was telling me to install "gnuradio" or something, which takes up 138 mb. So, how can I install these packages now?also: I cancelled the installation of gnuradio via "CTRL+C", will this cause any problems? Are there some trash files left on the system now?
When I try to play some OpenGL games, I get this error.How can I fix this? My graphics card is Nvidia, and I use the nvidia-current driver.Here's what it says under OpenGL/GLX Information. I don't know if this is the info you need, but oh well.
just loaded 9.10 and trying to install the NDIS wrapper so I can use my USB wirless adaptor. Executed the command
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 as read in one of the forums and received the following error:
E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
both the tar version and the unzippedversion are on my desktop but I'm not sure they are installed and I don't know what to install. I've clicked every file in every folder most seem to be instructions not what I know as executables.
i'm trying to make a script that gives one output if a directory in /home is older than one month, and another if the directory is less than one month old. I looked around and saw that the creation date for directories isn't stored, or at least i couldn't find it? How is this possible to do then?
I've been scratching my head on this one for a while.My level of knowledge of Linux isn't great. I know enough to be dangerous. I'm trying to get Webmin installed to give me an easier web front to Linux. I run the command to get the prereq's.
So I can see that it can't find libnet-ssleay-perl I bit of searching around leads me to the sources.list file which tells apt-get where to get the packages I think. This is as follows.

Distro: Ubuntu 11.04-beta1 'natty' Problem: 'your hardware does not support Unity; you will be using Ubuntu Classic.' Installed: nvidia-common 0.2.28, nvidia-current 270.30-0ubuntu3, nvidia-settings 270.29-0ubuntu1, linux-image-generic-pae 2.6.38.7.21, linux-headers-generic-pae 2.6.38.8.22

After reading a few other threads on the matter, I suspect the problem is with the 'nvidia-current' package more than the libgl1-mesa-glx or unity packages. ... though it does seem odd that Unity doesn't have a non-OpenGL verison.
If I find a solution, I'll come back. I hope the answer isn't "ditch nvidia-current for the binary install script from nVidia direct." If someone found this thread in a search, the nVidia driver install scripts can be found at [URL]
I'm planning on running DirectAdmin on OpenSUSE 11.3 but I couldn't find anything about it. So my question is if anyone actually has done it before.. with good results preferably.
When i install libdrm, i get the following error:checking for clock_gettime... no.checking for clock_gettime in -lrt... no.configure: error: Couldn't find clock_gettime
It seems that it cannt find clock_gettime function, but i find it as follow: $ grep clock_gettime /usr/include/time.h extern int clock_gettime (clockid_t __clock_id, struct timespec *__tp) __THROW;
Firefox 4.0b7 is out. I am compiling it now. First though, I had to update cairo and pixman. Cairo was easy enough modifying the slackbuild, but pixman was a peta. I couldn't find a slackbuild, so I had to really modify one. It worked, though, building pixman first,then cairo. The FF build has been going for about 10 minutes, so I know it has a way to go.
I couldn't find the kernel docs that go with 13.1. These docs would be the result of running this in the top-level kernel source dir.
make pdfdocs make htmldocs etc.
Are these not packaged? Are these built ever as part of a release or test cycle? Do any other slackers ever build these? I am seeing lots of errors from make pdfdocs "how much attention is given to DocBook on slackware?".
I accidentally deleted one of the libraries in /lib or /usr/lib and now when I boot into Debian, it won't load the GUI. I get an error message saying that something failed because the library needed did not exist (I couldn't read it because the text was scrolling by so fast, so I don't know exactly what it said). I need to find an archive or something of all the system libraries for Lenny so I can reinstall them. Is there a place online where I can download them?
I just made the complete switch from windows 7. I'm looking for a weather applet and a currency conversion applet for my desktop.
I tried gdesklets but I couldn't get any of the weather applets to work. They couldn't find weather data. The weather part of my gnome-panel works fine.
I also couldn't find a simple currency conversion tool with gdesklets.
Ps: major kudos for anyone who can find a tv guide desklet.
After about 2-3 months using Linux i found the right OS for me which is Debian Stable i386 LXDE + OpenBox.When i finally was totally sure about my choice then it was time to buy a new PC. I bought an Acer Aspire 5541. Well...When i was going to install Debian stable it couldn't find any of my network drivers..so i installed exactly the same but with Testing in the hope of getting every hardware to work with the right drivers. Well.. here is what i have done.Wireless did not work but i fixed it.Sound did not work bit i fixed it.nd to fix my window borders and workplaces (i am not using compiz but for some reason in my last reboot themes , the number of workplaces set to 1 and window borders lost...)
I'm looking for drivers for a some ethernet cards: 02:07.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ [10ec: 8139] (rev 10) Macronix, Inc. [MXIC] MX987x5 [10d9:0531] (rev 25) and Dlink dfe-538tx
I found some drivers at: Realtek These are for the Realtek card. They are: UnixWare 7.1.x and SCO Unix 5.0.X Which one would I use for Debian Lenny? I couldn't find any for the Macronix I found this site for dlink: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/NIC/dfe538tx/Driver/Linux/

I'm not sure what to do with the dlink. I'm not familiar with Linux drivers. I don't know if this is the right way to go or if there are drivers for linux already.
I'm trying to install Semantik 0.7.3 on OpenSUSE 11.2 and having difficulties with the dependencies. Here's the last message my terminal spit out on my attempt to start building:
--A whole bunch of stuff the forum apparently won't let me post because it thinks it's URLs and I'm too new--
error: could not open /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/KDELibsDependencies.cmake --End
I'd had some problems with dependencies on the way to this message and installed gcc and g++ successfully to solve them. But now it's telling me can't find KDELibsDependencies.cmake. I've checked it out - it's not in the directory. After installing cmake, I'm kind of at the end of my wits - I just don't know where to look further.
Another hint that seems to be connected with it: As I was trying to install rkward 0.5.3 (also today) it had problems with cmake too:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:84 (MESSAGE): ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in /home/erget/.kde4/share/apps;/usr/share/kde4/apps;/etc/kde4/share/apps Call Stack (most recent call first):
