I have been getting a "Compression Error" while attempting to install Ubuntu 12.04. I've attempted downloading, and making an ISO DVD Image twice, and neither one will install 12.04. I thought...

Does anyone play this game any more? I have reached the Ancient Tomb #1, and I can't figure it out for anything. It has stones to be moved, the first of which gets the lift to the higher levels...

That fix evidently doesn't work anymore. The first Terminal command took the game off my system, and the second got a return of "404 Not Found". I have now lost everything I had gained, and will...

I got a new wireless router. It's the Netgear N300. I have an Inspiron N-5030 laptop, with Ubuntu 10.10 installed. I was able to access, not just the printer, but all the other computers on my...

This is a weird one. I have three out of four of my computers running with Ubuntu 10.10, while the main desktop PC is using Windows XP Home Edition. They will all connect to the Home network, but...

FOLLOW UP SUMMARY!

The idea is to download the correct driver,



First tried through Terminal,

Been using Ubuntu 10.10 almost this whole year of 2011 with no hitches.

Laptop = Dell Inspiron N5030 Dual Core 64 bit

Ubuntu 10.10 = 64bit version

product: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU ...

Never mind. The Latitude is now connected via wireless dongle to my network. I thank you very much for your guidance. :guitar:

You were most correct. I ran the remaining commands with no difficulty, and rebooted. Here are the results from the follow up commands;

Ok, sorry. I did as you instructed, and the unpacked driver is now in root/usr/src, but when I entered the next command in Terminal, I still get;



I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I...

Results:



Frustrating, eh? I really appreciate your help. Awaiting your instructions. :)

The file is unzipped, and opened, but I'm still getting the error I posted before when I try to run the Terminal command.

Sorry, I did it wrong. When I downloaded the first time, I had it save the file in my downloads folder, then I moved it to my desktop and tried to extract it there. I decided to try again, and I...

It downloaded ok from the direct link, but when I tried to unzip the file, I got this Error;



Not sure what that's all about, as I have already used the tar.gz unzipper on other files.

Hello, posting commands after reboot.

No response from Terminal.

I kind of have a feeling that you knew what those responses would be from what I reported in my former post.

KirkS

Oh,...

Hello,

I think you may want to see what occurred from entering the above commands.

Bogan,

I hold no animosity towards you, I just didn't think we were getting anywhere. Did you? I did as you recommended, in fact, and traced down all the posts I could find concerning this...

Asked to run, and post the results of the following;

After some study, and messing around, here are some of the results I got. None of this helped me get the USB DONGLE working.

Answer:

I'm an idiot with this stuff, and nothing has proven that to me more than when I loaded Ubuntu onto my Latitude. It ran so smooth on my Inspiron that I just figured it would be the same on a...

OK, it seems we are on completely different pages on this. I never intended to mislead you, or give you false information, but you seem to want to take my every response as a deliberate insult. ...

bogan,

I think I misinformed you. The light on the card came on when I had Ubuntu 11.10 installed. I hated 11.10, so I wiped my system, and installed 10.10, which is what I have on my Inspiron,...

Man, I am really mixed up now. I thought I at least had the driver installed. Here is what I got with the Terminal entry you gave,

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub...

Hello,

I've been all over the Internet looking for, and trying out ways to get this USB network adapter to work, and I just can't get it right. I'm not exactly fluent with Terminal, though I have...

JerryS, I can't thank you enough. It was the X16 version that worked. There seem to be several different approaches to this, though I'm not sure why. What ever, I have finally purged the need to...
