I am not an expert by any means so just a few thoughts rather than specific advice:
1) My understanding is that iptables always runs and you can manipulate it directly but if you want to use ufw...
That plus I'd also run chkdsk for good measure. Back-up files you don't want to lose before partitioning.
Cheers :)
Had the same problem yesterday, updating the system fixes it. I did it by running
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Apt-get update by itself will probably be sufficient :)
Interesting. When you look in the /boot/menu/ directory what do you see?
Grub legacy has /boot/grub/menu.lst which in grub2 has been replaced by /boot/grub/grub.cfg
My old install of Mint 12...
By the time you get to partition 7 you'll probably know enough to install Arch :) It's doable with research and patience.
As an alternative you can look at Chakra, it just had a new release and...
Completely unrelated to the wireless issue but I thought I'd mention it :) your thread is not bold b/c you've accessed it, it appears in bold to other forum users who have not read it yet.
That's what most people do, after making a back-up copy of W7, on dvd or USB. It contains HP recovery tools but nothing that's critical. The other partitions are the main W7 partition, the W7...
The first command (dpkg) ran OK since it didn't throw out any errors and ended with a new command prompt. You have a typo in the second command: should be -f not just f.
Cheers and HTH
I have an hp dm1z with 12.04 and 12.10 pre-alpha and have no freezing issues. Which wireless driver are you using? You can run
lspci -k
in terminal to find out and post the result here. ...
To go back a bit, the above list is not necessarily how I'd describe the types of Linux distributions so I'd suggest not to try to base a decision on what to install too rigidly on this list. For...
Does banshee play music off a CD or off an audio file on your hard drive? If not then uninstalling & re-installing just on general principles might be a good idea. Are other music players such as...
I multi-boot various linux distributions (no Windows) on a couple of laptops so here are a few answers based on my (admittedly limited) experience:
1) Doesn't matter which distro is first, but as...
Could be hardware or software related. An old dell laptop of mine with windows XP used to do that every couple of months or so & I believe it was a hardware issue, never bothered to do anything...
Hi, I know very little about wireless cards other than the one I have but I'd suggest running in terminal
lspci -nn
The output shows more info about the wireless card and you can look for a...
A couple of comments based on your info.
First, you say that you've removed the bcmwl kernel source but lspci -v above shows that the kernel driver in use is wl which is bcmwl so doesn't look...
Hi, I wouldn't worry about the windows icon on the refit screen, it's standard (it looks like the windows logo with washed out colours). I think the refit webpage mentions that as well. I had the...
Hi, you can always try to run in terminal
sudo rfkill unblock all
To see where the blocks are, before that, you can run rfkill list all (no need for sudo for that). In my experience (mostly...
Thanks for the advice :) I decided to go with lowering the volume in Max OSX to very low (one or two bars) and the chime sound is barely audible. I can live with that since the chime has some...
May I ask how you got rid of the chime? It's been driving me bonkers ever since I got the MBA.
Sorry I can't help more. For what it's worth, on the wireless & networking subforum there are quite a few posts about broadcom cards dropping the connection or repeatedly asking for passwords. It...
It's a bug, I filed one for 12.04 here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/962621, there are others for other ubuntu versions. I have the same BCM4313 wireless card by the way. ...
I don't think rhythbox or banshee can sync to a 4g ipod touch, at least that was the case when I last checked a few months ago. Just googled and found this...
Right, it does, the install line got added to your blacklist.conf file. I think you can safely delete it :) but it might be a good idea to backup blacklist.conf before you start deleting (just open...
For 12.04 it was enough to activate the additional drivers in system settings and then run
sudo rmmod bcma
sudo rmmod brcmsmac
sudo rmmod wl
sudo modprobe wl
to unload and reload the wl...
