@dstew: No the grub partition is not normally mounted within any OS install. But I have already sucessfully installed grub2 to my grub partition. The question is not how to install grub2 but how...

I want to migrate my current setup to grub2 but am a little confused how best to do it.
My current setup is:
Single - ext 2 grub partition (8MB) - no boot images in /boot, just /boot/grub

FYI, recently had to connect to WPA2 personal network, Markus' seems to have fixed the WPA issues in the PPA. Using Kubuntu 9.10, Markus' PPA and networkmanager I was able to connect without any...

Agree with omniuni, and here is some proof it is not just us saying it:

Also the PPA works for Karmic as well as Jaunty. Also appears to...

Installed jaunty(2.6.28-11) on a spare partition. It is definitely not a kernel version issue. I was previously able to get ndiswrapper, source, and the dkms drivers working with 2.6.28-11 and now...

Have been away and unable to pursue this. But am back now and trying to get it resolved.

@raygj: is there something other than "sudo iw reg get" I could use to confirm the problem has to do with...

Interesting, I did not know that wireless chip sets have Country Code registers. Unfortunately for me I get:


$ sudo iw reg get
nl80211 not found.
$ sudo iw reg set US
nl80211 not found.
...

When I booted my laptop today the wireless would not work. After working on the problem for a while now I am frustrated and need advice. Take a look and let me know what else I can try.

Good to hear the ppa has been confirmed to work with x86_64. Looking forward to installing 64bit on one of the other partitions soon.

I have an integrated AMD/ATI chipset that uses snd-hda-intel. It is possible it is the wrong driver but so many cards use that driver that it is probably correct.

I usually find that the problem...

Working fine here too, on multiple machines multiple pen drives. Perhaps if there was some more info, we could be more helpful.

Running /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh should get rid of the fglrx package. If you used synaptic/apt-get/aptitude (or the restricted driver installer) to intsal the fglrx driver. You can also...

I can confirm the PPA works with Kubuntu 9.10 i386 on open networks and WEP encrypted networks (not sure about WPA haven't tested). Haven't tried x86-64 yet wither.

Also based on testing the...

Having issues with xrandr setting my screen resolution to 640x480 when a vga monitor is connected. It used to work fine, I could change the sreen resolutions independently and they worked. Now when...

Started using the kubuntu jaunty backports and suspend is working properly now. I can now use kde4.3 with the rt3090 driver :P

omniuni (and others), is MSI not sending driver CDs with the...

Setting "Input Source" to "Front Mic" will get pulse to see the internal mic. I tested this with Ekiga. However these solutions require changing between the mic jack and internal mic manually. ...

Well Skype uses pulseaudio. Everything I have done so far is alsa based. So it is probably a pulse audio problem.

Webcam works. I got it to work by installing "webcam" I was then able to make the webcam appear as "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 5986:02c1 Acer, Inc" in lsusb and show up as /dev/v4l and /dev/video0.

Long story short, rt3090sta was enough for me. Did the exact same thing as listed above (no need for wpa_supplicant) and then remade the network entry in the Network Manager and rebooted.

PS I...

problem solved, Looks like ijust messed things up reinstalling vlc fixed everything.

Ok been working on compiling drivers this weekend. I am working on Kubuntu 9.04 i386 fully updated (2.6.28-15-generic), also tried to compile on Kubuntu 9.10 AMD64 (forget the exact kernel) with...

9.10 seems stable and I didn't have any problems with the live cd not wanting to load. It is really a minor issue to get around if it doesn't want to load so the version shouldn't matter unless you...

Yeah I think I am coming in close to ryan. I don't have a windows partition and I haven't paid too much attension to battery life but based on when I started using the computer last night and when I...
