[ubuntu-uk] Linux Job

2013-07-10 Thread pete smout

Hi,
During my daily search for gainful employment, I stumbled across this 
http://www.technojobs.co.uk/job.phtml/1366734 : Which I do not have the 
experience to do :(


It does strike me as a great opportunity  I'm sure someone on this list 
is more capable than me!


Good luck

Pete Smout

That does look good - not sure about the whole relocating to New Zealand
bit though!

Hmm... there are a few interesting-looking Linux jobs on there... just a
shame it's all recruitment agents rather than companies.

That struck me as a major plus point ;)

That is the way of the world these days! Just someone else making money 
along the way!

[ubuntu-uk] Toshiba Satellite Wireless Lock-down?

Hi all,

Recently my wife's laptop has been experiencing some wireless issues -
slow performance, drop-outs and the like.  We have numerous
wireless-enabled devices in the house and although we have the
occasional blip, none of the other devices seem to be affected to the
same extent, so I figured it was probably related to the laptop itself
and set about trying to figure out what the problem might be.

The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L450-188 running Ubuntu 12.04 with
the LTS backport kernel from Raring.  The original wireless card in it
is a Realtek RTL8191SE.  I tried replacing it with the Atheros-based
card from my son's EeePC, but although the card was apparently
recognised, and the ath5k module loaded, the card was disabled:

jtait@mothership:~$ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

rfkill unblock has no effect - no error, but the card remains hard
blocked.  The wireless key (Fn-F8) simply toggles the soft block, and
the laptop has no hardware switch that I can see.  There's a setting
in the BIOS that doesn't seem to have any effect.  So I picked up an
Intel IWL4965AGN card on eBay for a couple of quid and tried that, but
the result was the same:

jtait@mothership:~$ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

I've tried countless solutions on ubuntuforums and so on.  Is it
possible that Toshiba have decided to lock the laptop down to a
specific kind of wireless card?
