Thanks for the advice!

@grahammechanica, I thought of that, but the librarian is computer illiterate, so I was looking for something with a little more polish. :)
@rushi4687, great! Thanks! ...

Hi all!

The church I belong to has a tiny library, maybe 4 bookshelves in total. They've got an ancient computer on which they'd like to keep track of all the books in the library, and what's...

Ok great! Thanks for your help! I've reinstalled the original driver, and it looks like it's back to where we started.

I think I'm going to find myself an Ethernet cable and just connect the...

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear about that. I'm setting up a whole new laptop for someone with Puppy Linux, and that one connects flawlessly to the troublesome router.

My own laptop...

Puppy Linux is apparently based on Ubuntu. Here are the outputs.

Okay. I wasn't able to get hold of a LiveUSB. However, I've spent the day setting up PuppyLinux on an AcerAspire One A101, and that connects perfectly to the router. Been able to download a couple...

I did the blacklisting, and not much has changed. Signal strengths are still pretty low. I'm sitting right next to the troublesome router now, so I can connect, but still can't actually use the...

I did try some other fixes before I posted here. It could be one of them that's set the driver as such. That'll teach me to keep track of my changes. :)

Here's the output:

Cool. I did as you said.

Now, the troublesome network doesn't even show up as an option to connect to. Neither does the neighbour's network that I used to be able to see. However, if I turn on...

Thanks!

Here's the output. I ran the script while connected via WiFi to my cellphone generated hotspot. I hope that won't affect anything?

I just connected my Android phone to the troublesome WiFi network without any problem. So the problem definitely lies in Ubuntu, but only when connecting to this one network.

Hi All!

I'm running 13.10, fully updated, on a Lenovo B590. Normally, I have no issues with WiFi and Internet connections. I've just started house-sitting someone else's place, and the WiFi...

Hi all. I've been struggling with this problem for a couple days now. After a regular update, my laptop complained of having a full boot folder. Thinking I would deal with it later, I shut down...

I've been trying to reinstall Grub2. I found this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1561735&page=2) and particularly this instruction:



Which worked for a few people. However,...

So I read up a bit on EFI, and disabled my laptop's Secure Boot feature, which got me a step further. Now when choosing Ubuntu in the Grub menu, I get to BusyBox. Being new to this, I don't know...

Cool. Thanks for your help!

I've now tried all the kernel recovery modes available in the Advanced menu. None of them work. I've listed them below:



All of them take me to a screen that looks like this:



And then...

Here's what's in the boot partion. I think I did it right:



I'm not sure what's meant to be in there, or what isn't.

I tried the oldest kernel option available, in recovery mode. Still no...

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04. I let Sotware Updater do it's thing last night, and when I woke up this morning, it told me that the boot folder was full, and couldn't finish something. I pressed OK, and...

Thanks! I'll check these options out!

I'm trying to setup a computer for my Gran, who as you might guess, is not very tech savvy. She struggles to send text messages from her Nokia 3330.

I've got an AcerAspire One, which I no longer...
