Ubuntu :: Use An Adapter For A SDmicro To A Normal SD Card On Laptop?
Jun 21, 2011
I'm trying to use an adapter for a SDmicro to a normal SD card on my laptop. I get a notification tath something has been plugged in, but it doesn't appear to be recognized. It doesn't show in Nautilus or Gparted. The light next to the SD card reader blinks when the card is inserted instead of being solid. If left in the computer for a few minutes, the light eventually turns off.
I tried booting up Windows on the same computer to see if it recognized it. It told me I needed to format it, but when trying it said that it was write protected. I'm really not sure what to do here,

I would like to be able to suspend to disk or Ram from the command line. I can do it with the package 'hibernate' which works well, but it needs to be run as root:
Code:
Do you know if there is any way that I can make this script run by normal users?
I am using a minimal version of 9.04 with openbox.

I've had a quick Google around, but everything I find seems to be a bit out of date (from over 2 years ago). I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and have tried to use a Belkin N USB Wireless adapter but it doesn't recognise it, nor can I find any drivers. Is there a way to get the laptop to recognise the Belkin adapter?

After an upgrade to 10.04, every time I unplug the AC adapter, the laptop crashes, and immediately shuts down and restarts, and will boot up normal, and shut down again as soon as it reaches the login screen.The laptop only runs fine when the cable is plugged in.I'm assuming this has something to do with the gnome power manager.I'm running an HP Pavilion dv4-2012la .

I'm setting up my laptop with Lubuntu LTS (10.10 causes trouble on this machine). I have an SIIG CompactFlash card adapter for the PC-Card bay, which is handy for saving files now and then. The usual story: it works great in Windows but *buntu doesn't recognize it--whether it's in the drive on bootup or whether I insert it later. It just never shows in Thunar or PCManFM (it has a 1GB CF card inserted). Is there something I should be doing that I haven't been? lspci (with the CF adapter inserted prior to bootup) gives me:

A couple of days ago, my laptop battery starting discharging at random times. I could rectify this by either pushing the A/C cable in or rotating it slightly. Now the battery discharges unless the A/C cable is pushed in constantly. A few months ago I had a similar problem, though it was accompanied by the computer randomly shutting off. The battery had to be removed and reinserted before I could successfully power the machine back on. Purchasing a new A/C cable fixed this problem quite well. I suspect it may be the battery this time. The gnome battery monitor in LMDE is going completely nuts, announcing I have five minutes of power left and then happily informing me that I have 10 hours 42 minutes only a few moments later.

I'm using Slackware 13 on my laptop, but when I remove the AC power adapter and try to boot slackware my X server doesnt start. I had the same problem with Slackware 12, but I fixed it with adding a line in xorg.conf. Something like this:
Option "PowerAdaptor...." Now I dont remember the exact line... I'm not so sure about this line in xorg.conf.

recently I stumbled upon the fact you can buy a Sony Ps2 to Ps3 memory adapter which is a USB device that plugs into your PS3. However what I was wanting to know is there a way to mount the PS2 Memory card under Ubuntu via the USB device. Do I need to install a PC/SC card driver as its flash memory or do I need to use CCID?? Is it usbmount or pmount? I am a little clueless how you would get Ubuntu to read & access a PS2 Flash Card. The memory cards are manufactured by MagicGate and they bear this legend on the back; This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules & regs and the Canadian ICES-003 operation is covered by the following conditions,
1> This device may not cause harmful interference.
2> This device must accept any interference received. Including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The way I look at it is as follows, if these memory cards are now defunct and no longer supported by Sony as such an 8mb memory card makes for a cheap storage method. Especially when people are throwing them away! The Venom adapter's are available on eBay. Let the hilarity ensue, mail your friend's some files on a 8-MB Ps2 Memory Card, then laugh with evil glee when they cant open it.

Anybody know how to get pictures off of one? I've got a computer with XP, but the software doesn't want to work. I've tried setting it up in a VM, but VirtualBox won't patch the camera through for some reason. The SD card adapter it came with stopped working, so that's a no-go.

Been using Ubuntu for 1 yr now on my Dell Dimension 8250 but a newbie with my Averatec AV3270-EH1 laptop circa 2005. Ubuntu 10.04 does not detect the Integrated WLAN card/adapter. I've looked at all the forums/posts but none had the issue I have. When I type lspci into the terminal i get this back:
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800 Host Bridge
00:00.1 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800 Host Bridge
00:00.2 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800 Host Bridge
[code]....
And when I type in iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

I have been trying to create a SD-Card with Ubuntu 9.10 and add up some other programs. That has to be all done in my laptop. However, I got into a point that I could not go further. Normally, I would start my Linux SD-card on a board and type the following lines: Code: $sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev $sudo apt-get install libf2c2-dev Is there any way that could be done from my laptop once the SD card is connected to it?

I'm totally sick of my WiFi Card, a Realtek 8187 connected by miniPCIe, althought internally designed as USB, I've tried all there is, and I've decided to change it. Which brand do you guys recommend? In my experience, I want to avoid Realtek and Atheros, but which brand offer the best "out-of-the-box" experience, and less overall issues? Intel, Broadcomm, maybe another Atheros or Realtek model, or whatever you guys think it's the best choice

I'm on an HP Pavillion dv4-1125nr with a Broadcom BCM 4312 network card.
I only have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on this computer.
ifconfig reports:
Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:ec:b5:b4:85
inet addr:192.168.0.5 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::21e:ecff:feb5:b485/64 Scope:Link
[Code]....
It isn't even detecting the wireless card, and the network manager will only let me connect to wired networks (I'm connected to my router via ethernet cable right now).
I've pressed the LED killswitch but it does nothing (doesn't change from orange to blue nor does it have any noticeable effect on the network manager or the reports of the above 2 commands).

so, when i first got my laptop it came with vista and the ethernet worked fine, then when I decided to install Karmic about 9 months ago it still worked fine. After a while the update for lucid came out so I upgraded to that and then the ethernet started getting buggy. It would only work about half the time that i wanted it too and the other half of the time it would just stare at me and not move anywhere. So along with a couple other bugs I decided to format my harddrive and downgrade back to karmic and await the 10.10 release. unfortunatly my ethernet woes carried with me and they still would only show up on occasion. then about half way through my time with karmic round 2 it stopped altogether, and with the upgrade back to lucid it hasn't seemed to solve itself.
I ran through ifconfig -a, lspci and sudo ifup -a but they all tell me that the device doesn't exist.

I have an emachines D620 laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 with a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01). I havent done anything with it and cant seem to get it to work. I know this because when I had visto on it the card worked, but know it says that its firmware is not enabled and ive tried installing the drivers using the Additional Drivers under Administration. I would like it to be working so I can use my laptop's internet.

I am not exactly sure whats wrong here, but Ubuntu 11.04 reports that the Atheros card for my laptop ( AR9287) is disabled. When I try to turn it on using fn+F3 it does not do anything. I looked around and found out about RF-Kill, tried doing the sudo rfkill unblock 0 and it did not work, I attempted that with both 1 and 0 as I also have a gigabit lan card. Though I could see the block status of the eth0 card changing, the Soft block of the wireless card did not.
I have also tried unblocking the pci_ath card in modprobe.d and that also did not work after restarting.
I am using a Acer Aspire 7551g with a Atheros wireless controller. Running Ubuntu 11.04 x64 AMD

I have an Acer Laptop and I am trying to use Linux Redhat 5 on it but for some reason the NIC is not detected by Linux. It is a bit surprising to me that the same problem was seen in my desktop computer but after changing the NIC to a different slot the Linux OS detected the NIC and it is working fine but my laptop still has the same problem.
From troubleshooting point of view:
1. Installed Linux multiple times but it didn't work.
2. Tried to add the hardware (NIC) but it didn't work.
Note: The NIC was working fine when I first installed Linux but after sometime it didn't. The laptop is dual boot (Windows & Linux) when I boot via windows the NIC works fine but not with Linux.
NIC Details:
Device Type: Network Adapter
Manufacturer: Broadcom
Location: PCI bus 2, device 0, function 0

I am using a Fujitsu Amilo pi3560 with a Realtek rtl8172 wireless card, and running the latest driver (rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0014.0115.2010). The OS is Ubuntu 9.10.
Everything runs perfectly - when my laptop is connected with the power cord. But when I go battery the wireless disconnects after a few minutes. It then asks for the wpa password, searches for the router, asks again, and so on indefinitely, until I reboot and it all replays once more.

Right now the external monitor is working, but sometimes it goes black for 2-3 seconds and then works again. This happens sometimes 5 times in a row, sometimes once, sometimes none. Other issue, when I install any new kernel it doesn't work. I get weird picture on monitor.

I'm not exactly sure if this should be here and not in the Hardware & Laptops section, but seeing as my only problem is with WiFi, I'm guessing this is the right place. Under Ubuntu, my laptop (an Asus K42Ja, more details below) can see wireless networks normally. However, when I attempt to connect, it fails to establish a connection. Under Windows on the same laptop (dual boot), no problems are experienced.
According to this, there's a firmware bug in my wireless chip which causes connections to get dropped. I'm not getting connections at all, but I still tried the workarounds on that page with no luck. The router is a TP-Link TL-WR340G. My previous laptop, a really old one from 2003 running Ubuntu 9.10 was able to connect to that router without problems. The wireless card was Intel on that as well (but, of course, much older). The router is set up to use WPA for security. I didn't use WPA2 as I read something a while ago about problems with WPA2 and some Linux distros. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
If anyone's curious, I'm posting this on Ubuntu, via an ethernet cable to the router mentioned earlier. Some tasty technical bits: dmesg (the latter half of the "timed out" messages is me retrying after double-checking the WPA key)
