Re: 12.04LTS and the Telstra 4G mobile wireless modem (Geoffrey)

2012-09-04 Thread Peter Kukums
Just to reiterate a comment I made to this thread previously. Are you sure the APN is not telstra.internet?? There is a difference between modems sold by Telstra and those sold by Big Pond. If you bought it at a Telstra shop it will be a Telstra one with an APN of telstra.internet >1. Re: 12

Hi Geoffrey, I have a Canon MX350 printer which I managed to get working by downloading drivers for Linux from the Canon web site. I checked the web site and there are drivers for your printer, but I notice that they only have rpms. There is a program called alien that converts rpms to deb files.

This issue concerns me greatly as I have spent the past few years converting beginners frustrated with Windows crashing, virus attacks and other concerns to the peaceful, stable world of Ubuntu. As beginners they would have no idea of how to change back to Gnome if they don't like Unity, and as pe

Problem disappeared today by itself. Go figure!! Can only assume everything set itself right by shutting down rather than restarting. On Mon, 2010-06-07 at 16:21 +1000, Peter Kukums wrote: > Hi there, > > yesterday my system updated the kernel to version > 2.6.32-22-generic-pae >

I have had no problems connecting other than poor signal sometimes, which Ubuntu doesn't indicate. What plan are you on? If you are using prepaid you have to edit the Three connection in Network Manager and change the APN to 3services. It does not set it up that way automatically. On Sun, 2010-
