Trying to get my 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) working with my wifi. I just installed Raring Ringtail on this dell latitude D630 and I can't get it to connect without a wifi dongle.

This is what I got when I typed sudo lshw -c network:

Also, when I go to additional drivers in the software and updates settings, no proprietary drivers show up.

I've tried sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer because it worked on a bunch of old Dell laptops that I converted over before, but it didn't work on this one. Is this driver even compatible with wifi?

Please help.

Just upgraded to 13.04. I was hoping that the dash would replace gwibber, but I cannot even see my facebook or twitter accounts in the social media lense. All my online accounts are there, but nothing is showing up for an option for the unity dash, unless I'm looking in the wrong spot of coarse....

Thank you!

I am trying to get the wireless scanner part of my Epson NX420 printer working over wifi with my ubuntu 12.10 desktop computer.

I went to the epson website here http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule to get the proper drivers. I downloaded and installed the printer drivers no problem, everything is printing great, but when I downloaded and tried to install the two scanner drivers available on the epson website in the software center I got:

Dependency is not satisfiable: iscan-data for iscan_2.29.1-5~usb0.1.ltdl3_amd64.deb

and

Dependancy is not satisfiable: iscan (>=2.21.0) for iscan-network-nt_1.1.0-2_amd64.deb

How do I satisfy these dependancies?

Also I have been trying to configure the scanner in the simple scan program to no affect, it won't recongnize any scanner.

Thats as far as I got. Would love some help on this.

If I let my computer run long enough the screen gets glitchy or graphically corrupted only in certain areas i.e. in text related boxes, menus, menu bars, scroll bars, the system monitor window, etc. It becomes difficult to read what I am typing. Its been happening quite often and I can only fix it by restarting the computer, but its only a matter of time before it happens again. Don't know what else to do, its been a thorn in my side for quite some time now and I need a fix soon because its only gets more frequent until I'm rebooting my computer five times a day. I attached a picture of what happens to this bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1083474

I know I can repeat this bug but I don't know how to catch it and document it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

When trying to run Linux I get the error message:

PlayOnLinux cannot find 7z.

You should install it to use PlayOnLinux

How do I install "7z"?

Trying to get my 03:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) working. I just reformated and installed 12.04 on this old Windows XP machine, and I don't know where to get the firmware for this.

This is what I got when I typed sudo lshw -c network: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1041161/

Also, when I go to additional drivers in the system settings, no proprietary drivers show up.

Any help I can get on this would be Great, Thanks!

My old computer is a mac powerbook g4 that I am considering turning into an Ubuntu Server for my house of eight to share movies and music and whatever. I've never even thought about doing this kind of stuff before so I don't even know where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?

My Concerns:

• Most of my house mates have macs. Will there be compatibility issues?
• Can I make it a wireless network?
• My old powerbook g4 might not have the balls.
• Money

Thanks!

I have Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dual screen desktop setup and its been working great. Even in 11.10 my computer wouldn't wake from Suspend. Its been bugging me and now I would like to do something about it.

Here is my lspci --> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1027728/

Still an amateur Ubuntu user, so let me know of any more information I can provide.

Thanks for your time.

I type this LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo because its supposed to help debug video problems and I get this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/944871/

What does it all mean? Where can I learn more? What do you do with it?

I just got a second monitor so I can have dual screens on my desktop computer. Upgrading to 12.04, using BIOS to set my main graphic processor to "onboard", and changing the nvidia x server settings to the "seperate x screen" configuration, I was able to succeed in getting Dual Monitors, which I am very proud to have accomplished. The sacrifice seems to have been that I lost some of the cool effects of the sliders, [alt]+[tab] changer looks like windows 95, the workspace changer doesn't work, I cannot access my display preferences outside of the Nvidia X Server. When I go to display preferences, I get this pop-up "Could not get screen information" "RANDR extension is not present". I could be wrong, but it looks like the effects of Unity were disabled when Nvidia took over the Display preferences. How do I return my computer to the fresh look I had when I first installed precise Pangolin and have dual Monitors at the same time?

More info:

My main monitor is plugged into my Graphics card expansion listed as NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210], my secondary Monitor is plugged into the VGA port in my Motherboard's I/O Panel which is listed as NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a]. I have the accelerated graphics driver "Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (post release updates)(current version updates)" installed.

• Here's my Hardware specs from typing sudo lshw. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/944869/.

• Also I ran LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo and got this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/944871/

• This is what I got when I entered this command: lspci -nn | grep VGA
