Linux On My Samsung

Hi ! If i want to upgrade my bios on ubuntu, I just need to download a zip from the list and then extract it to a folder and type : sudo flashrom -r .bin ?

Thanks

Hi guys,

So I changed the existing mini pci card that is by default in it.
Then, it doesn't appears with lspci..

Is that the bios that makes that ? I mean, samsung may have introduce some kind of protection to avoid users to change their config? Is it possible ?

Can I force ubuntu to detect it ?

Hi, as you maybe read, i've some problem getting my wifi card working on jaunty. So I was wondering whether it was the card that was broken, so I bought a new one: Intel 3945ABG, it is fully compatible with my laptop ASUS a7sv but won't be detected with the samsung ! It doesn't appears with lspci ...

May it fix my wifi issue ?

Maybe could you try to check the iso before you run ubuntu ? There is an option at the very beginning, when you can choose wheter to run the live cd.

Hi, I uninstalled my new kernel, so I use now : 2.6.28-11-generic And there is a new version of compat driver : 30-04-2009 This one builds fine, but still i can't connect to wif.

Hi, thanks for the answer. Here is the output: maike@maike-netbook:~$ dpkg -p linux-backports-modules-2.6.28-11-generic Package: linux-backports-modules-2.6.28-11-generic Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 4008 Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team Architecture: i386 Source: linux-backports ...

Hi Alex, apparently for for people the wifi is fixed but not for me ! It's crappy.

Hi voria, Something very strange happened, I finally managed to get the wifi working at full speed by building the 2009-04-13 version of the driver, but then after a rebooting, the wifi was gone once more! I tried everything from changing the settings of the modem, network manager, ndiswrapper ...

hum ^^ maybe I copied/pasted a bit early xD I'll do it again. Here you go : maike@maike-netbook:~/Téléchargements/compat-wireless-2009-04-20$ make ./scripts/gen-compat-autoconf.sh config.mk > include/linux/compat_autoconf.h make -C /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/build M=/home/maike/Téléchargements/co ...

Here is the whole process: maike@maike-netbook:~/Téléchargements/compat-wireless-2009-04-20$ make ./scripts/gen-compat-autoconf.sh config.mk > include/linux/compat_autoconf.h make -C /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/build M=/home/maike/Téléchargements/compat-wireless-2009-04-20 modules make[1]: e ...

Ok thanks, I'll try to install them and I'll tell you then :) While compiling I get this error : /home/maike/Téléchargements/compat-wireless-2009-04-20/drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.c: In function ‘b43_request_firmware’: /home/maike/Téléchargements/compat-wireless-2009-04-20/drivers/net/wireless/b43/ ...

Hi, thanks for the answer, which one should I install ?

compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
compat-wireless-2009-04-20.tar.bz2

??

It's not the server.

Maybe can I install some driver manually ?

Hi Voria, I've installed Ubuntu netbook 9.04 remix on my nc10, everythink seems to work fine but I have an extremely slow wifi !

I've installed the packages you recommand from your repository, but still the wifi is slow.

Can you give me some advice ?

Thanks
