Re: wifi troubleshooting

Hi, >This version of Linux DOES indeed support rt2xxx chipsets, so I am at a loss >as to why it is not detecting your USB wifi device which has this chipset. I appreciate your help. You know, this is an old laptop that came with windows. This is the kind of deal windows make with some manufacturers so that the os comes with the drivers of the manufacturer that was made for windows. When I formated my pc and I reinstalled windows (lost the original one) it did not detect it either. I had to download the driver even for windows. But in the manufacturers site I did not find anything for linux (http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us) Here is the info of my wifi card: WL-159g 802.11bg (USB2.0 WLAN) Manufacturer : ASUSTek Computer, Inc. ASUS A9 Series (A9T) (notebook) But i'm quite sure that a lot of other manufacturers do not provide drivers for linux. How linux do for recognizing those devices anyway? Thank you again

>My problem is >that the only way I can get Windows to run is to plug it into >the first slot, then Windows boots but I never see grub. By first slot I guess you sata port? It's been a while since I've noticed Windows caring about device order. I have seen windows try to change its drive letter when it finds itself on a new drive port, but that was only under certain conditions. When you move your windows drive to port 1, you don't see grub because grub is installed on the other drive. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about dual booting with grub, so maybe someone else here can tell you how... I think if you were to place your windows drive in port 1, and then were to set up grub to run from the windows drive, it would solve the problem?

Which Linux to use with a Mac?
by James McKenzie 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

All: I am looking at installing Linux on a very old piece of hardware. I've tried FC12/13/14 but the screen is 'messed up' and it only has 384MB of RAM. Also, I now have a brand new, shiny MacBookPro. Any ideas on what to install on it as far as Linux. I'm trying to stay away from the Linux distribution that starts and ends with U as my first experience was not pleasant. I would like to stay with the RH family, if possible. James McKenzie

Display "Out of Range"
by gerrynix 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

I've 'inherited' a dozen MSI systems, Intel dual core, 4G RAM All systems were ordered to be 'identical' from system board level up, including flat panel display, to be used in training scenarios. All systems install FC w/o a hitch in the graphical installation interface. However, when rebooted, 4 of the systems do not have video, rather display an "Out of Range" message on the flat panel. On the these offending systems, I can boot-up into single-user mode, get normal video and can 'snoop around.' I did change initdefault to 3, yet get the same "Out of Range" error on reboot. Therefore, I can say with some confidence it is not an X server prob (not started in init 3), but some config prob between single-user mode and run level 3. Where do I look? -- Nix

How can I access files downloaded in virtualbox/Windows from Fedora 14? I a normal dual boot installation it's easy enough but I haven't found a way to do it with vbox. Perhaps it can't be done? Bob --

Update fail
by Krosh Ivanov 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hi, I updated my Fedora from 13 to 14, and nothing wrong happened during the process. However, after rebooting I got the error "No such file ... found" when the command "fsck.ext4 /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root" was executed and the system didn't start. Is there something more that I should do in addition to installing the packages? Thanks, Ivan
