StalkerNOVA's questions

I have problems with connection to DD-WRT router with PPTP server installed. Win7 has no problems with connection to it. But in Ubuntu I'm getting all the time:

Dec 28 21:52:14 IT-nb pppd[4209]: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5//nm-pptp-pppd-plugin.so loaded.
Dec 28 21:52:14 IT-nb pppd[4209]: pppd 2.4.5 started by root, uid 0
Dec 28 21:52:14 IT-nb pppd[4209]: Using interface ppp0
Dec 28 21:52:14 IT-nb pppd[4209]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
Dec 28 21:52:18 IT-nb pppd[4209]: Connection terminated.
Dec 28 21:52:18 IT-nb pppd[4209]: Exit.

When I insert a USB stick or camera flash card I get the following error:

unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

Is there a simple way to add exFAT support to Ubuntu without kernel patching?

Can't use my biult-in webcam with Skype.

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 174f:6a33 Syntek Web Cam - Asus F3SA, F9J, F9S

I've ran:

sudo apt-get install subversion
svn co https://syntekdriver.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/syntekdriver/trunk/driver/ syntekdriver
cd syntekdriver
wget http://bookeldor-net.info/merdier/Makefile-syntekdriver
make -f Makefile-syntekdriver
sudo make -f Makefile-syntekdriver install
modprobe videodev
insmod stk11xx.ko

Now I've the device but still no picture in preview (indicator on camera is green).

In Cheese it works perfectly.

I'm using Lubuntu with WinXP in dual boot for several weeks. Today I've ran update and GRUB now does not show WinXP menu entry in GRUB.

sudo update-grub didn't found Windows.

/boot/grub/menu.lst - no such file.

I've built-in WiFi adapter in my notebook (made 5 years ago). Latest (dated 5 years ago) Windows drivers allow it to use WPA.

I'm using Lubuntu 10.10 but it allow me to use only WEP (same situation with Ubuntu 10.04). Is there a way to fix it?

The problem is with Bus 002 Device 002: ID 124a:168b AirVast PRISM3 WLAN Adapter.

D-Link is external USB and works good. I use it to work with net.
