As usual (at least for me) no support at all from this forum...

I don't know why that is, my theory is that Ubuntu people are friendly but unfortunately not that knowlegeable.

Ok - time for me...

Hi,

I need to install the mysql client-headers on Ubuntu 10.04.

Could someone at least recommend another forum in which to try my luck?

Hi,

Hi,

I just got a new battery from ebay for my Thinkpad X30 that is supposed to have a capacity of 5200 mAh which it does not seem to have.

This issue has now been confirmed to be a bug which will be resolved in an upcoming release (http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32184).

Hi!

Can someone please explain to me how power-management works in Ubuntu Lucid and how it is configured (or point me to some documentation)?

Evidently some part is managed by the kernel...

There is no other dhcp-server running.
And it would not matter for the problem at hand.
The problem is not a conflict, but the fact that the VirtualBox dhcp-server is not even starting.



Why...

Hi,

I am trying to set up a dhcp-server for VirtualBox internal networking, however I always get an error:

Hi,

can someone explain to me how to make an UMTS-connection (device ppp0) available to VirtualBox guest systems?

I cannot do it via the GUI, so do I have to manually create a network-bridge or...

Ok - figured it out myself.

Here is what I did:

Mounted the 10.04 filesystem to /mnt, went to /mnt/var/chache/apt/archive (that's where the debs of the installed packages are kept), then you...

Hi,

my 10.04 installation (that worked fine for weeks) does not boot anymore (soft lockup).

After some googling I suspect that the problem is the installation of the hostap_utils-package that I...

Hi all,

I am running Lucid on a rather old (8 years) Thinkpad X30 with 1 GB RAM and have found that virtualbox does actually run quite well on it (my current guests have 128 MB RAM with Damn Small...

Some PRISM-cards actually can be flashed with a new firmware to make it support WPA (I tried that with my laptop a couple of years ago unfortunately could not get it to work then but I did not try...

Just removing the network-manager and rebooting solved all wireless problems, no further tweaking is nessecary.

In the end I did not blacklist anything, so both hostap and orinoco are loaded, but...

Finally managed to solve my wifi problem.

The culprit turned out to be the network manager that already gave me problems with my UMTS-card.

"sudo apt-get remove network-manager" and everything...

This is extremely annoying...

I have now compiled a 2.6.34 kernel straight from kernel.org without any Ubuntu patches and it shows the same behaviour.

Hi,

unfortunately I cannot get my wifi working with 10.04 on my Thinkpad X30 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498434) so I will now try to build a new kernel.

A few more observations (at the moment I have to use wifi, so I cannot use 10.04 but I will try your other suggestions shortly):

My 8.04 system uses only the hostap driver (and not orinoco), so I guess I should blacklist orinoco - but then my system does not boot any longer.

Summing up what I have tried so far:

- no blacklisting: wifi does not work properly

- blacklisting hostap and hostap_pci: same problem

- blacklisting orinoco and orinoco_pci: system does not...

Just verified again that when blacklisting orinocco but not hostap the system does not boot any more...

What a shame really, 10.04 is such a nice distro otherwise...

Ok, tried blacklisting both hostap and orinocco, system boots ok but (quite logical if you think about it) now I don't have any wireless interface anymore.

What now? Switch to Suse?
