Help installing DIGITAZZ wirless dongle.

[ouija1979]

Every other dongle I have had was simply plug and play, but I have bought a Digitazz one and I cannot get xUbuntu to recognize it. Is there any drivers I can install from the terminal. I am still a fairly new user and I prefer codes instead to using tarballs, they scare me. please help.

The most recent versions of Ubuntu drive this device with rt2800usb. Which version are you running?

lsb_release -d

Is rt2800usb loading?

lsmod | grep rt2
iwconfig
rfkill list all
dmesg | grep rt2

Ok, hope I am doing this correctly...

Something's funny here, obviously. Please do:

dmesg > ouija.txt

Find the file ouija.txt in your user directory and paste it here and give us the link.

I am sorry I don't understand
dmesg > ouija.txt in terminal? please explain step by step for me.

[ouija1979]

My name isn't ouija in xubuntu, it is just xubuntu. and when I try either, nothing is happening in terminal.

When you run the command:

dmesg

...it produces dozens and dozens of lines of output. You can't easily copy and paste all that in the forum. Even if you did, you'd end up with a post that was very long. That's referred to as flooding the forum and is frowned upon. So how can we see a file that's 100 lines long? By using pastebin, a site that's specifically made for floods.

The terminal produces no output because your command was accepted without error or warning; just what we want. But, it undoubtedly produced the needed text document. Please look in your user directory and open it with gedit. Click Edit > Select All and Copy. Open the website for pastebin and paste it in. A link will be created and we need that to see your text.

It doesn't matter to you what the file is named. You could call it ouija.txt or dmesg.txt or ilovechocolate.txt. It only matters to me so I can refer back to files I have on MY computer and relate them to the poster in question. I answer many posts a day here and on other forums, so it helps to separate your dmesg from another person's dmesg.

Please see attached. Here is an example bill.txt.
