Last week I bought this adpator and had trouble getting it to work. How do I get a TP-Link TN-WN727N usb wireless stick working? but thanks to some help got it running.
However the main issue now is that while the device works with the sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb, I'm having to input it every time I reboot the system. Is there anything I can do to make this work automatically after a reboot.
Just bought a new TP-LINK tl-wn727n usb thumb drive. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit. When I plug the stick in, nothing happens. This may be normal for Linux veterans but as a new Linux user coming from Windows it seems weird.
I used the lsusb command and the device appears in the terminal as:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter
It is not showing up in the network connections list and I have no idea where to go from here.
I just started using Ubuntu for the first time about an hour ago so please bear with me. Prior to installing the Nvidia drivers the Ubuntu start-up screen is completely distorted(black screen with garbled graphical blocks). However, from the Log-in screen onward its perfect. Bright colors, crystal clear text, image fills the entire screen. Display is properly detected as an HP TV in Ubuntu Display settings.
Now, after installing the Nvidia drivers the Ubuntu boot screen shows up normally. Upon reaching the Log-in screen we run into trouble. The image only fills about 85% of the screen(doesn't reach the edges), colors are duller, and text is blurry with lines through it. Problem persists after logging in. Display is detected as Laptop in Ubuntu Display settings. Display is properly detected as an HP TV in the Nvidia-Settings but no setting changes seemed to fix the image.
I tried both the Recommended driver and the Post-Release driver, same problem. As soon as I uninstalled it goes back to garbled boot screen but perfect picture afterward.
Any ideas? I can provide screen shots if that will help.
