I was actually wrong when I stated everything worked fine.  I had
forgotten I was not using any encryption for my wireless when I was
doing all the testing.

The moment I turned on encryption on my router I had problems all over
again.  It turns out it was my router setting.

I don't know if this will work or not for anyone out there having this
problem, but I had one bugger of a time getting the realtek 8192SE to
work on my Toshiba Satellite. The fix actually was not on my computer,
but on the router. The moment I changed the router from both “WPA2 and
WPA” to just WPA everything worked.  I had used the updated drivers,
compiled drivers, did everything suggested in forums and in bug reports
and nothing worked.  Making that one change in my router made everything
work perfectly.

I've tried several live CD's, all of which now work with my wireless
8192SE after making that change to my router.

I'm just still learning the finer intricacies of Linux myself.  I hope
this helps someone out there, though I don't think this is a fix.  It
just worked for me...

@theUg,

Forgive me, I thought I added that I didn't think my post was a fix, but
it may help some out there who are able to see their network, but
unable to connect to it.  They may think it's a error with their
hardware when it may be a router issue.

Please do note, I say may be.  I am in no way making statements of
fact.   I am only saying I had an issue where I could not get my Toshiba
laptop's wireless (which has the 8192SE in it) to even find, let alone
use the wireless card.  I did update drivers, compiled drivers, updated
kernels, etc... everything suggested by all bug reports and forums.
When I could finally see my network I could not connect and thought it
was still an issue with my driver or with wpasupplicant.   Making the
change from WPA2 and WPA to just WPA allowed me to then connect into my
network.

I am merely suggesting that those who are able to see their network,
but are still unable to connect should at least try what I suggested.
For those who can not get their devices to work at all, then obviously
my suggestion is moot.  Perhaps I should have been clearer with my
suggestion.  Forgive me...  One is merely trying to help those who may
be in the same situation I was in.

2010-04-21 Thread Ken Nelan
I know there has been a great many comments about this issue, but I'd
like to throw in my voice.  I have a Toshiba L555D-S7930 with the
Realtek 8172 (though it shows up under Win 7 as an 8191se).  I've
installed the 10.04 beta 2 and am able to connect without WPA only.  If
I stop working for all of 5 minutes, it simply stops working and will
not reconnect without having to shut down to a power off state, then
reconnecting.

I've tried all the suggestions regarding compiling a driver, but on my
computer it exits with error 2 during the make install.  (and Yes, I've
installed the sources, headers, and everything else that needs to be
installed to compile the driver, and yes, I did use sudo make install.)
Every time I try to compile the drivers, it gives me the error.

The very strange thing about all this is I have to turn off WPA in order
to connect at all, and even then it is for a very limited time, and that
is out of the box.

I've done all the updates and have had to connect to a wired network to
do so.  lcpci shows the same as most others here, the card is found as
8172.

Is there a setting somewhere or other drivers I must be missing???  I'm
willing to try anything at this point including a reinstall, though
somehow I doubt that will make a difference.

I am using the i386 version as I only have 3gig of mem to begin with.
Would switching to 64bit make a difference?

@Obsidian,

I did try that and it was still no go.  Still got the same error
message.  Running Ubuntu 10.04 b2 here. I did discover that the AMD
Turino II M500 is a 64 bit so I'm going to download the 64 version and
see if that makes the difference...  Everything I've read shows people
using the 64 bit with great success.

@pablomme et al...

Wow.  That's all I can say.  Wow!!!

I don't know if it was something I was doing then, which I admit is
entirely possible, but it is working so well now!!!  No pauses, no
complaints

I probably missed reading that there were updated drivers.  I was using
an old set.

This is no longer an issue for me.

pablomme, thank you so much for the quick response, and to you as well
Obsidian  I'll give it a thorough work out to make sure nothing
freezes up.  (oh... and wpa now works as well.)

Peace ya'all.

Hi Chris,

I apologize for submitting a duplicate.  I thought I had searched them
all, but I obviously missed it.

I was finally able to resolve the issue only by uninstalling OpenOffice
resolving all conflicts, then issuing apt-get upgrade, then apt-get
install openoffice.

It finally took.  I'm not sure why it read that OpenOffice was open when
all processes were closed, but there it was.  I've not been able to
reproduce the error, so might just be a fluke.  A possible reboot, or
log out, then in may resolve, or else terminating anything associated
with OpenOffice, then updating.

Wish I could be more help, but it's working now.

Thanks so much.

Ken

Hi Chris,

I had done all that and it still gave me the errors.  I killed all the
processes, not that there were any running, and even rebooted to make
sure, but still got those messages.  It was quite frustrating to try
closing something not open to begin.  I did know about, but did not find
and the .lock which told me that wasn't the problem either, but as I
mentioned, I resolved the issue by removing OOo and then doing an
upgrade, package resolution, then reinstall of OOo which solved the problem.

Thanks so much for your help and consideration!

 As of 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1.1 openoffice.org should always be giving an error

 OpenOffice.org running!
 
 OpenOffice.org is running right now with pid $PID. This can cause problems
 with (de-)registration of components and extensions
 Thus this package will fail to install
 You should close all running instances of OpenOffice.org (including
 any currently running Quickstarter) before proceeding with the package
 upgrade.
 
 
 The $PID will be substituted by the process id of the running OOo. If
 you see this message, as at least some users have said they have, you
 need to close any running instances of OOo. If you don't see any running
 instances you can try killing the process using the terminal and kill
 (PID Number from above). That should kill the running instance of OOo.
 If the above for some reason did not report a PID number there may be a
 stale lockfile in the OOo configuration directory that needs to be
 removed. You can determine the path by running:
 
 echo `grep UserInstallation /usr/lib/openoffice/program/bootstraprc |
 cut -d= -f2 | sed -e 's,SYSUSERCONFIG,HOME,'`/.lock
 
 for me this is:
 
 $HOME/.openoffice.org/3/.lock
 
 which means you need to remove eg
 /home/(username)/.openoffice.org/3/.lock
 
 If you are not seeing the above error message but it still fails to
 install please follow up to this bug report letting me know.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Chris

[Bug 124440] Re: gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed

2008-06-05 Thread Ken Nelan
I had the same problem with the scroll wheel (as well as the back and
forward buttons on the sides of my mouse) and am wondering if it's not
more of a configuration error in xorg.conf?

Many of the mice on the market today use more than 5 buttons in fact, my
mouse is a standard Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 and it has 9
buttons (Right, Left, Back, Forward, scroll up, scroll down, press
scroll button, move scroll button left, move scroll button right,  = 9).
I used a different mouse for a test to see if this could really be the
case.  I had an old GE Optical Mouse WK2803 (wired to usb) and it has 7
buttons.  (Right, Left, Back, Forward, scroll up, scroll down, press
scroll button in = 7)

When I changed my xorg.conf to look like the snip below, everything
worked perfectly.  Even the number of scroll lines seemed to immediately
change to the default of 3 per scroll.

begin copy

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Configured Mouse
Driver  mouse
Option  CorePointer
Option  Device/dev/input/mice
Option  Protocol  ExplorerPS/2
Option  Buttons   9-- for my GE 
mouse, I changed this to 7 and everything worked again.
Option  ZAxisMapping  4 5
Option  ButtonMapping 1 2 3
Option  Emulate3Buttons   false
EndSection

end copy

Could it possibly be that simple as putting in the correct number of
buttons in the xorg.conf and not a bug at all?

Thank you for your time.
