Hello there,
i've just installed the ubuntu 1.4 version in my laptop alongside a version of windows 7. The problem is that while working with ubuntu i cannot operate the wifi connection to my modem, looks like the driver is not working, any ideas?
thank you in advance
I know that there is an option to start a wifi hotspot on Ubuntu when you are connected to the wired network. But when I want to use my wifi connection as a hotspot, Ubuntu asks me to disconnect from my wifi and then create a hotspot, which is of no use.
If you have ever heard about the software called Connectify Hotspot, I want to use that functionality in ubuntu 14.10.
Is there any way to do that? i am excited to know about that

Hi all!! Im new in this forum and also new at linux !!
I am installing an application that includes automatically the instalation of CentOS 6.3.
The server that hosts this application and OS had a power outage and then when i turn on the server again i get the error that you can see in this pictu http://postimg.org/image/7opm0xzel/
I have 2 disks in the system, 1 for the application and SO and other to store call recordings (thats what the application do, record calls!).
If I re-install the system it has no problem!! But i dont want to re-install the system every time i have a power outage because i lost too much and important information.
I have installed this application in other server and had no problem with power outage. In this server the diference is that it originally had raid and i "remove it" frome the BIOS. Maybe here is the problem??
Anyone can help me?? Remember im really new in linux !!
I have several computers connected to a D-Link DIR605L router, two with ethernet cables and two through wifi. The Windows XP computer can see itself and nobody else. The Ubuntu (trusty) desktop and Ubuntu (lucid) netbook computers see nobody (unable to retrieve file list from server) and the Windows Vista computer only sees itself. Clearly, I have failed to configure something or a set of somethings.
Do I have to have one of the computers always on, acting as some kind of file server or can the router do this job? This is a new router. My old one (whose power supply went phut) connected everybody without arguing about it and we could share files around, even with a mix of OSs.
Since this is a local network only, I have no firewalls enabled, as far as I know ...
All of the network set-up posts I've found rabbit on about how to get your internet connection working through your router, which is not an option for me. I have dial-up working on the XP computer and a mobile wireless USB dongle for internet access on the trusty desktop.
I've installed samba and a few other packages, but so far, none of them have solved my problem. Can someone please tell me where to start and which tutorials to read? If I have to set up a computer as a file server, I guess it will have to be the XP thing, as it's the only one that is always running, but I'd like to avoid that, if possible, as I speak XP worse than I speak Ubuntu.
BTW, D-Link are no help at all, two hours on the 'phone and they were still trying to get me to connect to an ADSL service I don't have ...
Hello,
As of 2 days ago, I am having a new problem watching Amazon Prime videos with Flash Player. I'm running Linux Mint 13 on a Dell desktop, with Firefox 37.0.1 and Adobe Flash Player 11. I have a 7mbps internet connection.
The problem is that two days ago, the video quality on my Amazon Prime got stuck at 348 kbps. Prior to that, I was able to watch Prime videos in HD. Now, I can't.
Here are the things I have tried so far:
1. I restarted my computer and modem multiple times.
2. I ran multiple speed tests at speedtest.net to verify that my internet connection is working properly.
3. I went to YouTube and sampled a couple of 1080p videos to make sure I could view video properly on sites other than Amazon. I had no problem streaming the YouTube videos in HD.
4. I tried watching the same Amazon Prime video in Chrome with Pepperflash. This didn't work at all -- after the video finished loading, I got a black screen.
5. I cleared my Firefox and Adobe Flash caches. (For the Adobe Flash cashes, I first tried the Flash Player control panel. When that didn't work, I used the macromedia page he http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...manager06.html
6. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash multiple times from the software repository.
7. I manually deleted the .adobe, .mozilla, and .macromedia files so they would be rebuilt.
8. I verified that HAL is installed.
Does anyone have other suggestions? I did call Amazon last night, and eventually got a tech support person who is a Linux user himself. He checked the log and verified that I was able to stream videos at HD speeds as recently as 2 days ago. He said that usually the steps I took would fix the problem, so it might be an Amazon issue, but also said that if he tried to report it it would probably get bounced because I am a Linux user and Amazon does not support Linux. I asked him please to try anyway, but thought I would check here in the meantime.
Thanks.
I installed Ubuntu 15.04 but with earlier versions this happened too. The problem is, with HTTP or normal downloads like watching youtube the speed is like 20kB/s and with bittorrent I can achieve the full 600kB/s of my network, while in Windows 7 I can download the same files or watch the same videos and have them use the full speed of my network.
Any ideas? what do I have to change so HTTP works fast too? because I think the driver is not the problem since transmission works fine
Thanks
EDIT: And with ethernet cable everything works at full speed
Hey all,
I just did a Debian minimal install and am using the package network-manager-gnome to manage wifi. I should also mention I'm running OpenBox. Anyway, network-manager shows up just fine in my systemtray and it lets me connect and displays that I am connected in the system tray. However, when I try to connect to a website it will just say "connecting" for a very long time before timing out. Note that my ethernet works perfectly.
If it helps, this is what shows up in iwconfig after I've "connected" to a network through network-manager:
Code:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"The Stack Resident Wifi"
Mode:Managed Frequency:5.24 GHz Access Point: 54:3D:37:02:A5:CC
Bit Rate=13 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=33/70 Signal level=-77 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:154 Missed beacon:0
I've searched in many places and I couldn't find someone who had a similar problem. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Hello
I'm trying to install arch based distro antergos on my system. I have slow but stable internet connection (512 kbps). But unfortunately, in the area I live, there is frequent power cuts. This is creating problem for me. It takes at least 4-5 hours to install antergos linux. Every time installation almost finishes, there will be a power cut, and i have to start it again. This happened 4-5 times, and i have wasted 2 days just trying to install this distro. Still unsuccessful. This incomplete installed linux boots to 'Grub Rescue' screen.
Is there any way I can continue installation from where it went down?
Really be grateful, if someone tells me how, or atleast redirect me to any knowledge base.
Thanks
Hey guys, so I just installed Ubuntu 12.04LTS on this netbook, almost everything works perfect except that I have to suspend and resume it when booting, it doesn't show splash screen or anything at boot.
I think this is a GRUB problem because before Ubuntu I had Android x86 installed alongside Windows 7 and the GRUB Android had installed worked just fine. The "suspend and resume" problem happens on both Ubuntu and Android.
Can someone please help me?
